[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Ep #608 (1968) - Maggie - 'He's changed so much. But still these things MUST have been in him before.'
From "Robservations 8/16/02 - #608/609 - Rivals For a Vampire's Affections"
Old House drawing room - Maggie is sobbing when Barnabas comes to the cottage and gives her the news--Joe wouldn't commit suicide, she cries--I can't believe he wanted to die. He did say it, Barnabas tells her. How could I have thought she knew him? laments Maggie--he's changed so much!--still, these things must have been in him before, when they were together, I never realized. "You couldn't," Barnabas says comfortingly. You're right, she says, but someone else might have seen these things and stopped it. Barnabas says perhaps something happened to him, something she couldn't control or help. Everyone has a darker side that only comes to light under certain circumstances, he explains.

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...
On the other hand, there are things in the excerpt that are oddly wrong. As is indicated at the outset, the setting is the drawing room at the Old House - why there's a mention of the cottage is anyone's guess?! And I suppose
technically one could say Barnabas tells Maggie that Joe wanted to die - but that conveys that he does so in words - and that's not how it happens on screen. Maggie asks, "He wanted to die? He said that?" And Barnabas responds by simply nodding his head in the affirmative. For her to ask that, yes, Barnabas must have told her in words before then, but we don't see that.
