Lingering in the secret room of the mausoleum, Barnabas ignores Willie's discomfort. He remarks yet again on Sarah's purity and goodness. Then he smiles with patronizing amusement. You don’t like it here, do you you, Willie? he observes. No, Willie answers, with all too many memories of how this room changed his life. After some further Willie-baiting, Barnabas decides they will leave.
Willie hits his head as they exit the secret room. Poor John Karlen is in pain, clutching his head during the rest of the scene.
Poor David (still hiding in the coffin) can hear Willie open the panel but can't see how, so of course he's well and truly trapped. After Willie and Barnabas leave, he climbs out of the coffin ON SCREEN, the only view of this procedure during the entire series.
More new costumes: Carolyn wears a pretty, cherry-colored long-sleeved dress as she paces up and down the drawing room, waiting for news. Joe comes back after not finding David. After they spend some time blaming themselves for David's disappearance, Carolyn assures Joe that she's over Burke and is happy that Vicki is engaged to him. Vicki returns from a date with Burke. She is wearing a lime-green coat over a pink--but of course sleeveless--dress.
Vicki goes out to be miserable on the terrace, where Barnabas finds her. She tells him about David's disappearance, then bursts into tears, ashamed of her weakness before him. Barnabas takes this golden opportunity by the shoulders (literally) and tells Vicki, Why don’t you just lean on my shoulder and cry your heart out. No one will hear you but me, he assures her. I’m sure he means only to comfort her, and very happy he is to do it, especially with Burke nowhere near. But when he happens to look up, he sees that the moon is full (if not blue). Suddenly overwhelmed by Vicki's nearness, he is poised to sink his fangs into her neck.
