The uncooperative Ziploc oxygen tent! The glass bottle of blood! Sam Evans, puffing away on his pipe while sitting right next to Willie's potentially explosive oxygen tent!
Barnabas tells Julia that if Willie recovers, she also has a lot at stake. I wonder what led him to use this unfortunate turn of phrase. Maybe he's trying to look hip by using slang. He also thinks she should continue to pose as Dave Woodard's consulting physician. Even though Dave has fired her from Maggie's case? And even though almost everyone still thinks of her as a historian?? Jonathan goof? or writer goof?
While Dave Woodard struggles to zip up the uncooperative oxygen tent, Julia apologizes for hiding her suspicions of Willie (though she should really be apologizing to the sheriff, who might have grounds for prosecuting her if the doc blabs). Suddenly Willie starts to groan--he’s coming out of the coma! Abandoning the struggle with the oxygen tent, the doc tells Julia to close it, but she has no more success than he did.
Nice bit by JF at the very end of this episode, when the sheriff's deputy announces that Willie is waking up. Barnabas is immobilized with shock as the deputy announces the news. He uses all his self-command, but we can see his eyes widen with fear.
