Barn asks about this permanent cure. Do it now, tonight, begs Barnabas, but Eric says the experiment isn't ready.

But if you succeed? asks Barnabas. You will still leave your body, explains Lang, but will live--the witch will think you've escaped your body by death, when in reality you will have escaped by living.[/spoiler]

Trask presses against the solid brick wall, freaking out with fear.[/spoiler]
