At Collinwood, Liz is on the phone with Roger, her tone disapproving, explaining that David has been gone for three-quarters of an hour. "Well, if I knew where, I wouldn't be calling you...well, he's your son and he was very much upset. All I want you to do is get home as soon as you can. All right. Goodbye." She walks from the phone, twining her fingers together, and mutters, "Useless! Absolutely useless!" "Isn't Uncle Roger coming?" Carolyn asks from her seat on the sofa. "I don't think he cares whether David ever comes back," Liz says sadly. "Carolyn, I want you to go search the grounds." "Oh, look, he's only been gone a short time," Carolyn reminds her. Liz: "Darling, do you realize how upset he must be?" "Mother, he was frightened, and he ran. He's bound to come back because don't forget, he's only nine years old." "I'm not forgetting," Liz assures her, "and please hurry!" Carolyn agrees to go[/spoiler]
Dealing with the current scene:
She's alone in a time she don't know, says Ben, a bad time for us all. Barnabas says he'll find out for himself. No, cautions Ben, no. He puts his hand on the open coffin. You expect me to go back there? asks Barnabas--you think I'll let you chain me in again? You've got to! Ben insists. I've been there over 40 years, I cannot do it, says Barnabas--this curse...this curse--the blood--I cannot stop it! You don't understand, says Ben desperately, everything's changed--the village--don't go there. I must get out, Ben, I must! Cries Barnabas. You'll get caught! Ben warns him. Barnabas says he cannot stop this craving, I cannot! Ben tries to prevent Barnabas from leaving the room, but can't; he begs him not to leave this room, for his own sake, but Barnabas pulls free from him and exits the tomb, in search of sustenance.[/spoiler]
