Interesting observation about the wedding ring, DarkLady. I wonder if this is theoretically due to J&J not having time to have rings made or just an oversight on the part of the writers?
Jeremiah's entire head is wrapped in gauze and this is obviously due to AG being gone, not that the audience necessarily knew it then, but it still seems absurd. Josette is somehow aware of impending death -- Jeremiah's. I expected this foresight to be Angelique induced but I was wrong. I also expected Ange to tell Josette about her eminent marriage to Barnabas but again I was wrong. I am glad I don't exactly remember everything that is going to happen or when. It's makes it a bit more interesting and enjoyable. I don't know that I could sit through this story-line a third time. I was almost fooled again thinking I sensed sympathy in Ange during her conversation with Josette about what Barnabas wanted to say to Josette, but Ange's parting glance nixed any of that silliness on my part, lol.
Things progress as one might expect, or at least there are no revelatory surprises. Obviously Andre would want to lighten his daughter's burden and I can see him thinking Barnabas is the go-to guy for that. I understand Barn's reluctance but also understand his decision to do as Andre asks. And while Barn can find it in himself to forgive Josette he seems unable to do so where Jeremiah is concerned. Understandable, but not impossible. I don't know how I feel about that. I really think Barn should be able to forgive Jeremiah, Barn being the man that he is. I will say that I was surprised that Ange was at all willing to let Barn out of his marriage agreement. I can only wonder if she would really have let it go without going off the deep end as per usual. I guess, luckily for everyone's sake, Barn has a change of heart and does the noble thing and agrees to live up to his promise to marry Ange. Again I was surprised because I didn't remember that he did that at this point. Jeremiah dies and appears to Josette in her room as a ghost. I wonder if Jeremiah's presence is felt by Josette because they are connected by Ange's spell?
I agree DarkLady, I enjoyed the mother & son moment between Barn & Naomi.
Random observation: You'd think that Josette would have at least attempted to run into Jeremiah's arms when he appeared to her in her room.
