It was touching, watching Barnabas confide in Julia about his love for Josette....for that brief moment he opened up to her, he let her in, for that rarest of moments up to that point they become close....then Vicki shows up and the moment is ruined. He returns to his usual, chilly attitudes towards Julia, closes himself up again and basically tells her to take a hike so he can hit on Vicki. Poor Julia, why she didn't just up and leave Collinwood and leave Barnabas in the lurch right then and there, I'll never know.
SPOILER ALERT:
As for Burke, well you have to say Barnabas did get his wish in that instance.....the question is did Burke really truly die? I always thought he did, though others have speculated he somehow survived. I wouldn't rule it out, but since he never returned (and with Vicki eventually leaving and the show eventually cancelled in a few years time) I guess he really was one of the very few on Dark Shadows who actually STAYED dead.
Great episode.
