Julia tells Barnabas she's pleased with the test results, but he says he doesn't believe her--she'd lie to protect herself and continue her experiments whether they were helping him or not..The good news is real, she assures him, borne out by facts--she has changed the cell structure of his blood. It's working! Everything she believes is at stake, she tells him. "So is your life, doctor," he warns her. "So is your life." Julia tells him to stop threatening her all the time (go, Julia!) How can she gain his trust? He vows that if he feels any further weakening, he'll end the experiment--he's got to deal with Burke, and he needs all his strength to do so.[/spoiler]
Tad looks around and proclaims, "We're alive!" Yes, says an elated Carrie--Daphne kept her promise, I can't believe it's true! But it is, says Tad. Where are Daphne and Gerard? asks Carrie. I don't know, says Tad. You don't suppose they've gone, do you? asks Carrie, standing, looking around nervously. You do become alarmed so easily, complains Tad. He takes her hands and assures her, Daphne hasn't left us--don't you remember?--she promised she never would. Where is she? asks Carrie--she's our governess, isn't she? You must be more careful than that, warns Tad--she WAS our governess, that was a long, long time ago, in a different life. Yes, you're right, says Carrie, I'm sorry, I mustn't forget that. There are so many things they must get used to, he points out, like these clothes. I'll never get accustomed to these, says Carrie (pointing to her short red dress). And the way we talk, adds Tad, we must change that--and our names[/spoiler]
