Naomi is wearing her pretty pearl-gray gown again.
Creepy moment when Naomi finds Angelique on the floor, trying to scrub away the stains of her own blood.
More nudity: Barn is barefoot, in a nightshirt and the cumbersome blue dressing gown
Angelique tries to cure Barnabas. None of this would have happened if you hadn't tried to betray me, she chides him in a sweet voice. Help me, he moans feebly, bewildered and still delirious. I feel some kind of change coming over me. I plan to cure you, she tells him. I’ve prepared a special potion, and you must drink it in order to feel better. The greatly weakened Barnabas isn't interested at first but manages to get it down (a neat trick, since the transparent-bottomed tankard is actually empty). Close your eyes, she orders him, and don’t open them until I tell you to. I don't ever want to open them, he moans. Angelique throws open the curtain, then orders Barnabas, Open your eyes--now! He does--then howls with anguish and turns his head away, no longer able to tolerate daylight. The medicine should have helped! Angelique sobs as she lets the curtain fall. Why did you betray me? She adds in a chill voice, It’s too late. What’s done cannot be undone. She knows full well what will happen to Barnabas, and there’s nothing else she can do to stop it.
