Lots of sweet scenes between Barnabas and Julia today, with the two of them close to each other both physically and emotionally. That's always a bad sign. Just as Barnabas went off the deep end over Kitty Hampshire right after he and Julia did some mutual lifesaving (no mouth-to-mouth resuscitation involved, alas!), so we can expect him to go off the deep end now over somebody or other. Maggie's still alive, so we can't bring in another Josette clone -
Did you actually write this not knowing what happens next, Lydia? If so, I envy you. There are few if any surprises for me now, with the parts of DS I know and have watched to death. You're right of course... I hadn't noticed the pattern od close Barn/Julia moments followed by the new SYT appearance, and it does happen here,
very soon.
Often I think you pretend not to know what's coming, as part of your "job" of shepherding the WP. No?
Ang: "Martini?"
TES: "Yes, several, I think." (An alternate answer would have been "Yes, I know.")
