Poor Rachel is pouring her heart out to Barnabas about the school when Angelique summons him. Then Angelique is cross because Barn doesn't drop everything and race to the cottage.
Barnabas should have known the price Angelique would exact for restoring Quentin to life. Only on DS would a character say, "He isn't supposed to die this way!" Angelique says, Quentin will be permitted to go on with his rather sordid existence until the right moment--if you will let me assume my proper position as Mrs. Barnabas Collins. Mrs. Barnabas Collins, Barnabas repeats bitterly, no doubt remembering his first choice. How nice that sounds, Angelique remarks. I won’t force you to introduce me as your wife immediately, she offers. I’ll even let you introduce me as your fiancée for now, the woman you love. Finally she reveals that she revived Quentin the first time too. Barn is surprised although he should have known better about this too.
Barn hints to Rachel that sometimes people are like Trask--they preach goodness and practice badness. He asks her, Do you still trust me? [Not asking _too_ much, are we, Barnabas!] I don’t know, Barnabas, Rachel answers, I just don’t know! Finally, someone at Collinwood is being sensible.
Angelique actually keeps her word and revives Quentin. Then she shocks him by telling him that she's engaged to Barn. Quentin asks, Aren’t you a rather odd choice for Barnabas’s bride-to-be? Congratulate me and let it go at that, Angelique says tersely--always a warning sign to those who know. Eventually she tells Quentin that the only way to destroy Laura is to find her fire urn and extinguish the flame.
We know that Angelique has never liked rivals, even potential ones. She probably thinks Laura might interfere with her plans, and anyway, there's room for only one fire spirit at Collinwood.
