Fast Forward: David's told Willie his dream but we were not privy to Willie’s dream. So we have no idea who led Willie to the room or what Willie saw behind 'his' door. Perhaps we will see Willie’s dream when he tells it to the next dreamer. He & Barn discuss Willie’s ‘dream’ fears. And Barn, feeling the noose tightening devises a plan to rid the estate of Angelique. He will set it up so that Willie can easily steal Ange's portrait from the Great House, so once in hand he can perform black magic on it.
Fast Forward: Barn serves Adam his supper and Adam speaks three seemingly meaningless words: “if both live”. An astonished Barn tries to get more out of Adam but Willie interrupts with the stolen portrait in tow. As the men discuss the portrait outside the cell, Adam gets jealous when Barn praises Willie with a pat on the shoulder. Neither understands Adam’s adverse reaction and Willie tries to placate him by holding the portrait up to the cell window and Adam reacts with great fear. Barn surmises it is because even in his primitive state, Adam knows evil when he sees it. Barn leaves to set the next stage of his plan in motion. Willie, staying just outside Adam’s containment perimeter teases Adam into frenzy until he falls down, enabling Willie to escape the cell unharmed and deliver a note to Cassandra per Barn’s plan.
Barn visits Sam Evans with the portrait and commissions him to age it 180 years and to do so with a hard, stiff-bristled brush. It’s obvious now what Barn’s plan is and it is pretty impressive (IMO). Barn’s parting request is that Sam start aging the portrait at a specific time that evening. Again, not to hard for us to figure out what Barn is planning for Angelique.
Cassandra shows up at the Old House per Barn’s note. The two discuss the missing portrait. Barn taunts Cass with its disappearance and it’s implications and starts speaking to her as Angelique. At 10:15 Sam starts painting and Cass starts to scream with pain in her face. Barn goes into a speech about switching the tables on her, telling her he has found a way to destroy her before she destroys him (with the Dream Curse). He has her look at her hands and we see that they look old and arthritic. She screams in horror. Barn gets the answer he's looking for - at least that Ange & Cass are tied together via the portrait. I'm not certain he can say which came first, the portrait or the Cass.
Afterthoughts: Sam’s looking very ’Apple’s Way’ these days. I’m chalking it up to having quit drinking post Maggie’s kidnapping. Or maybe it’s just the mustache. No, wait, I think it's his new hair. BTW, he’s an extremely fast painter, no? Parker’s wig was in good shape. I like Frid’s acting when he is tormenting Angelique. The script is inconsistent with the painting and aging of Cassange.

Julia greets Mrs. Johnson at the Old House. We already knew that she was home but the writer forgot this I guess as Mrs. J. states to Julia that she avoided the great house upon her return so as not to present the dream to David. The two women go back and forth re: telling the dream to David, at one point Julia having to slap Mrs. J. out of hysterics and another with Julia having to throw her weight against the door to keep SJ from leaving. Kudos to C. Blackburn for her performance here. And after all the drama and tears – David shows up at the Old House. Why did this surprise me? Mrs. J. eyes him like a 1935 hobo eyeing a t-bone steak & baked potato dinner through a restaurant window. It’s quite a marvelous performance within a performance. Julia sends Mrs. J. home and keeps David there with the promise of letting him play with a tape recorder – a new experience for him. Enter Willie imploring Julia to come downstairs, so Julia leaves David momentarily to see to Willie and fetch the recorder. David decides to play outside instead of waiting inside. Leaving the Old House he is greeted by Mrs. J. Again, why did this surprise me? I can’t believe I was taken twice in the same act.
Joe finds Maggie searching for Josette’s earrings. He has them and she is none too happy about it. He’s had them appraised for fear someone might be setting Maggie up with stolen property. Their conversation re: the earrings snowballs into a squabble ending with a fabulous line by Maggie about finding a restaurant that serves baby food. After Joe storms out, Maggie, entranced by the earrings, recalls their importance in her life but can’t quite make the pieces fit. We hear Josette’s theme and know exactly how the pieces fit. Maggie ends up at the Old House and is greeted by Willie – still entranced; she decides that Willie was innocent of the charges levied against him for her abduction, etc. Willie takes advantage of the situation and convinces her that they should be good friends. Maggie cautions him that she & Joe are engaged but Willie sidesteps the issue and gets Maggie to promise to think about them becoming best buddies. After Maggie leaves Willie shows us that he plans on getting rid of Joe so that he can have Maggie all to himself. Definitely not the same Willie we used to know and love – definitely a level of crazy that wasn’t there before. But come to think of it, maybe this is the pre-Barn Willie we used to know and didn’t love.
Though we haven’t seen it, a remorseful Mrs. J. has told the dream to David and now sits with him as he sleeps figuring it’s the least she can do for him under the circumstances. David has the dream and this time it is Willie that leads him. His final door reveals a spider and it’s web, which David gets trapped in. He awakens terrified and into Mrs. Johnson’s comforting arms.
Afterthoughts: The shrub under the Old House window on the porch is an idiotic addition to that set. Loved the quarrel scene between Maggie & Joe – both actors were fantastic, especially Crothers. We got to see a bit of the old ‘tough’ Maggie again. Perhaps dream props should be immune from criticism.

As Julia & Cass return from a visit with Stokes they meet Roger on the phone in the foyer reporting the Adam incident to the police. A concerned Julia leaves for the Old House and Cassandra feigns concern, sympathy & guilt. Roger relates the Adam/Barnabas connection piquing her ‘sincere’ interest. Julia meets Barn on the Old House porch and convinces him that Adam is probably in the Old House. They find him in his cell. Once they’ve earned his confidence, Julia is able to tend his wound and Barn heads to the Great House to size up the situation as it now stands. Roger haughtily grills Barn about his apparent connection to Adam. Barn weakly defends his false total lack of knowledge and splits. Julia finishes up with Adam and he grabs her hand (as Barn taught him) in gratitude but overdoes it and hurts Julia. He senses this and lets go leaving Julia to contemplate her risky exit. Adam asks for music and a relieved Julia plays Lang’s tape for him and exits the basement leaving Adam to his soothed senses.
Afterthoughts: Does it astound anyone that Julia persists in developing a friendship with Cassandra – it dumbfounds & confounds me. I can see the ‘keep your enemies close’ thang but I am not picking up that vibe. During the drawing room scene with Rog, Cass & Barn, every time I looked at Barn all I could see was the cover of the Dark Shadows game – obviously, the one with his true image on it. Or maybe it’s the View Master envelope I’m thinking of. For some odd reason the drawing room doors seem as if they open to a frontal view of the fireplace and sofa. This seems ‘new’ to me. I always remember the doors being very much to the right of (facing) the fireplace. The fireplace wall also looks shorter in width than I want to remember it. Perhaps it’s just the camera angle.
I feel as though I haven’t seen Roger pour a drink in ages and there was something comforting about it. I felt it was very effective to have Cass pretty much just stand there while Rog was questioning Barn. I kept expecting her to open her mouth in support of Roger’s suspicions (to annoy Barn) and then at one point to defend Barn against Roger’s grilling. Her silence added intensity to the scene. So far, Rodan is superb as Adam. I wonder how much of Adam belongs to Rodan and how much to the director. His closing scene was marvelously executed. And the scene between Adam and Julia as she readied to leave the cell was breathtakingly suspenseful – I almost passed out waiting to exhale - very gripping & quite intense – everything from rape to neck snapping crossed my mind. Had I not joined the WP I would have went to my grave giving the ’68 storyline no value whatsoever. So far, it has merit. Today’s ending credits are flash and roll.
