The opening scene is creepy, Ben making two coffins, one for Barn & one for Josette. When Ben realizes one casket is for Josette he's creeped out too. Ben - still the voice of the audience - the voice of reason. Thayer & Ben are great in the beginning scene. Barn threatening Ben is disgusting to me. Desperate times call for desperate measures - for both Barn & Ben.
The prophecy starts. Josette loses the ring, breaking glass, a storm starts, etc. And yet Josette starts to freak. I guess I am not made to understand exactly what is going on with Josette. Is she falling in and out of a spell? Between Angelique's spell and Barnabas' vampire thrall and everything in between - I guess any explanation is possible.
I like Ben refusing payment for helping Barnabas by making the coffins. Is this the first time we see Widows Hill in 1795? So, our dear victimized Josette dies without ever knowing it was Angelique that has been betraying her since her arrival in Collinsport? That blows, big time.
