One might almost suspect that he was under Angelique's spell....?   His personality did get significantly meaner than early Forbes ever seemed to be.

Oh, now that's a thought, Magnus. I like it! 

How dare Nathan treat Daniel so roughly! 

I liked the method by which Bathia was able to tell if the ribbon belonged to Angelique. It was quite clever.

I can't believe how shabbily Nathan treats Milicent in this episode. It's inexcusable! 

I can't believe barnabas would have actually let Millicent go if she promised to stay quiet about him. It just doesn't seem like something he would do. After all, she could always break that promise, he knows that.

Watching Barnabas refusing to go with his father to the tower room made me realize that Barnabas is now in a position to say no to his father without the fear or reluctance he had when he was human. while his defiance didn't win in the end, he gave in for the sake of his mother.

Poor Naomi, constantly being shut out from joshua, being left in the dark all the time. How difficult that must be for her.

I always had the impression that Barnabas, much like a nocturnal animal, could see in the dark without the benefit of light of any kind. Hopefully he isn't using candles up in the tower room.

What an excellent performance by Louis Edmonds!

I can only imagine what is going through Joshua's mind at this crucial moment upon discovering Barnabas. talk about an adrenaline rush! 

I wonder if the pistols Milicent held in this episode were the same ones Barnabas and Jeremiah used for their duel?

Where once Trask blackmailed Nathan, now he is on the receiving end.  Trask would never have dreamed of taking Nathan's message to Millicent before, but now he's in a bit of trouble and has no choice.
