Julia says Trask finally got his revenge on Angelique, and Barn speculates on whether the Reverend returned to "that other world." They both wish there was a way to know for certain, that Trask could give them a sign. Then she remembers-Trask's skeleton. If he's ended Cassandra, his skeleton will be back where it was, Trask at peace at last. They must go check-if it's there, Barnabas will be free. Eagerly, they leave together for the Old House basement. Barnabas fears even looking, wondering if Trask won't rest until he finishes him, too. Julia reassures him. Julia checks first-the skeleton is there! "It's true!" exults Barnabas. "Angelique is no more!" He hardly dares to believe it, and asks Ang to give him a sign if she still exists. No, says Barn, she won't appear-her cruelty will want him to hope. He must hope, says Julia
"Liz, we forgot the pistols."
if you do what you did today, Miss Judith will send you away, warns Beth. Jenny insists Judith can't do anything; she's nobody. Beth says that's not true anymore--she owns the house now, everything, gives all the orders, even to her brothers-- everyone! says Beth bitterly--and you must, too--you have got to be good, and quiet and try to understand or she'll send you far away.This upsets Jenny, who asks, Will she let me take my babies with me? Yes, Beth assures her. Jenny calms again--that's all that matters. No, says Beth, try to understand--you must be good!--will you be good? Yes, says Jenny, covering her "babies"--the climate I used to live in was warmer than here--do you think my babies will get a chill? Resigned to the madwoman's inattention, Beth assures her they will be fine.
