Laura Murdoch Radcliffe, says the caretaker (I'm tired of typing that!), taking down another book--her other records, they must be here--her parents, her ancestry. Are you sure I can't do that for you? asks Frank, as he watches the caretaker searching the shelves--you can tell me where to look. Vicki looks through one of the volumes. Oh, no, says the caretaker, they wouldn't like it.[/spoiler]

He racked up his 8th with this one - and even more are probably still possible...
Why can't you leave this room, why? asks Will. Can't you guess? asks Barnabas. I suppose I can, says Will, facing Barnabas again. They hear Maggie's voice outside calling to Will and Carolyn--is anybody home? "Maggie," whispers Barnabas to Will. Carolyn comes out to greet Maggie--how are you? asks the latter. All right, answers Carolyn--Barnabas mentioned to us that you were back--how's Quentin? He seems much better, says Maggie--I just took him to the hospital for tests, and he seems to be coming along fine--I can't understand what went wrong. You must feel very relieved, says Carolyn, and moves to stand in front of the secret bookcase. I do, says Maggie--I just wish I could stay at the hospital with him--I should apologize for coming by so late and just walking in like this, but I did want Barnabas to know that everything seems to be all right now--he's not here, is he? No, he isn't, says Carolyn. Perhaps you could give him the message, says Maggie--tell Will, too--I'll let you know the results of the tests. Inside the secret room, Barnabas listens to Maggie's voice. I would hate to think of what would have happened if Barnabas hadn't been there when Quentin had his attack, says Maggie--Liz told me how calm he was, took complete charge--it's difficult to believe he's a distant relative, but more like someone who had known us all our lives, and how strange that is. Barnabas listens, smiling a bit, liking what he's hearing. Carolyn agrees--it's strange. I should get back to Collinwood, says Maggie--Liz and the others will want to hear the news, too, and the doctor might call tonight--it's good seeing you, Carolyn, she adds, and leaves.[/spoiler]
Will says to Barnabas, "It's SHE you're hiding from, isn't it, yes, when I was writing the book, you mentioned, how much she reminded you, in the other time, of Josette?" That's enough, Will, orders Barnabas (notice that they're on a first name basis since Barnabas bit him). And this Maggie reminds you of that one, doesn't she? asks Will. Outside, a dog howls. Open the panel, commands Barnabas. WHAT? asks Will. I said open the panel! Barnabas repeats, clearly beset by blood lust. No, you don't want to leave here, says Will, you know you don't--you told me to stop you! Nothing can stop me now, says Barnabas. Will pulls out the cross and holds it in front of the vampire's face. Barnabas turns away. This is what you wanted me to do, Will reminds him.
A selection of scenes cut from the 129-minute version that have been recovered:
...
Quentin enters the dining room limping and wearing the riding clothes given to him as a present. When Quentin attacks distracted and trancelike, Tracy recommends he see a doctor.
...
On the railroad bridge, Alex tells Quentin the sordid history of Charles, Angelique, Gabriel, and Laura. Though dismissive of Alex's fears, Quentin agrees to stay away from the tower.
...
Tracy notices that Quentin has removed Angelique's portrait from the gallery.
I've only been concerned about what's best for you, Liz tells Carolyn, how I wish you could have gone away from here before all this started. It wouldn't have changed anything, insists Carolyn. For you it would have, says Liz--I know what you've been going through. Mother, says Carolyn, I've always liked Burke. Always? asks Liz, you've known him such a short time. I know, but...why did he have to do it? asks Carolyn--why did he have to say those horrible things about Uncle Roger? Because he's bitter and angry, says Liz. He always seems so...I don't know, so different, says Carolyn--how can you ever know anything about anybody? I've never learned the answer to that question, says Liz, smiling, I suppose you have to put faith in someone you love and hope they'll be honest with you. Yes, agrees Carolyn, if I could only talk to Burke and asks him how he could say these things. I suppose you should, if you feel you must, says Liz You wouldn't object? asks Carolyn. Would it make any difference if I did? asks Liz. No, I suppose not, says Carolyn.[/spoiler]
