Much moodier redo of Liz and Julia in the crypt. Julia's much more haggard and emotional. Frid/Karlen bungle a forced scene in which Willie taunts Barnabas to get him to admit he cares about Julia. This seems shoe-horned in, and the only reason I can see is that it's meant as character development, to make Barnabas a sympathetic character we can approve of, finally. It's about time. I'm sick to death of callous-and-unreformed-yet-somehow-protagonist Barnabas. In this and the next episode, he really does seem to care very much about what happens to her.
Grayson gets a nice "real" moment, where it hits her that she's really about to die. This episode starts out bad, and gets better and better as it goes on. Nice dilemma at the end, with Barnabas reminding Tom the Sun's about to rise, as they grapple. He has to get in the coffin, but he can't leave Barnabas alive to stake him the moment he's inert, either.
