The equipment is running, lights flashing as Jeff lies in his post-bite slumber. Angelique watches him, not one spot of red on her spotless white dress (like Mack the Knife, never a trace of red). She helps him up, and he gazes at her, his vision blurry. What happened, he asks. She touches his face, and he flinches away--what did she do to him? She orders him to start now and lifts the sheet covering the body. He tells her to stop, grabbing her wrist, and she says he can't give her orders--he understands that and won't forget it, will he? My life force will go into this body--I will rise, breathe, walk, and I will be free. She wants to start now. No, protests Jeff, only Julia can do this--she'll have to deal with her. Angelique insists he try, but he says he can't alone. She knows he worked with Dr. Lang--Adam told her. He only helped in the beginning, protests Jeff, he didn't bring Adam to life. The books of Lang's, says Ang, they tell what to do. Jeff reminds her she told him she was providing the life force for the creature, and she agrees. Barnabas and Julia never told him about it, and besides, the body isn't ready. It must be, insists Ang, but Jeff says no. When will it be ready? she asks. I don't know, he says. Find out, she orders, and moves to touch him. He tells her to stay away from him, but she says no, he doesn't understand how serious and desperate she is--he must use her as the life force, she insists, her hands on his shoulders. She says what happened to Barnabas will happen to her. You may die, he warns. She reminds him that Barnabas didn't--by the way does he mind her putting her arms around him? Yes, he says, and she hugs him and tells him she will teach him not to mind. She sinks her fangs into his throat again, and although he moans in pain, he looks downright turned on, too.[/spoiler]
Beautiful shot today of Chris Pennock as Gabriel Collins--reportedly his favorite role on the series (from old interviews I recall reading).
Let's hope we have good news of Chris's health soon.
Gerard comes in and says, "I see you're still trying. My wife is remarkably loyal woman--I admire loyalty in women." Your loyalty, promise Gabriel, is going to be tests. Why don't you just relax and accept the fact that it happened? advises Gerard.Because, says Gabriel, I know you've been scheming, and plotting, and talking to my father and pretending to kill Samantha when you wouldn't. I only went along with you because I was afraid you'd try to kill her yourself, says Gerard--I saved her life, I saved her life with very little cost to me. Gabriel, squeezing his ball, warns him to watch what he says. There's a bad editing jump, then Gerard offers Gabriel a word of advice. The latter starts to wheel himself out of the room, but Gerard grabs his chair, stopping him. you'd better listen to me, says Gerard--why don't you just be a good boy from now on?--it will prove beneficial to you in the future--Samantha and I might even be a little "charitable" on your unfortunate situation. Gabriel orders him to let go of his chair. Gerard releases him and Gabriel wheels himself out, squeezing his ball. Desmond enters the house and Gabriel gestures for him to come to him. He tells Desmond he needs his help, he can't do it himself because of his legs. You'd better explain, says Desmond sympathetically. There's been a marriage today, says Gabriel, and we must do something about it.[/spoiler]
