As for the new sequence, the script explains it all as:
INT. VICTORIA'S BEDROOM - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
Blue moonlight filters through the window as Victoria slips on her nightgown. She's just pulling back the bed-covers when she stops, as if SENSING SOMETHING. Curious, she goes to the balcony doors...
EXT. VICTORIA'S BALCONY - COLLINWOOD -. NIGHT
She steps out and looks across the dark grounds. CUT TO:
BARNABAS' NIGHT-VISION POV.
Watching Victoria from a distance. Eerie, deep blue.
But nothing like that plays out in the pilot. What does happen in the pilot is actually far more interesting. However, before I get into what does actually happen, I need to track down an extra I want to include in my post to better illustrate it. But I will throw in two bits of trivia now:
1) The sequence was the first that Alec Newman shot after being cast as Barnabas.
2) It's the only sequence in the pilot in which Barnabas is seen with fashionable stubble. And that's because TPTB didn't like the look after they saw it on film. But time ran out and they were never able to reshoot the sequence.
