Picking up Scene 111 after Quentin says he's laughing at Alex' theory about the possibility of him being taken over by Angelique:
Jenny's hair looks much better. She ties it back with a ribbon. Barnabas enters and tells her, I must go now, but you must stay until Quentin comes for you--some people will be here to look after you, he explains. Do you like the way I look? asks Jenny. I do, says Barn. She teases him--you shouldn't flirt with me--Quentin is very jealous.[/spoiler]
In the drawing room, Burke tells Vicki about David's nightmare (way to keep a secret--and a promise, Burke!) She's puzzled by it. Perhaps David's judgment is stronger than ours, says Burke. Barnabas isn't capable of harming anyone, insists Vicki[/spoiler]
..., Quentin and Alex walking and talking about the recent bizarre events, ...
7:30 PM - Trask comes in from the servants' entrance, gun in hand. He opens the double doors and enters, then sits before the desk and puts the gun down. He takes the inkwell and pen, and writes, "Tonight, there will be another full moon. I can no longer bear the thought of changing into the animal and spilling more blood. I must take my own life, it is the only escape for me." The front door opens. Trask takes the gun and puts it into the desk. He rises. Petofi enters carrying something large and bewrapped. He cordially greets Trask, who is standing there like an automaton. I'm looking for Quentin, says Petofi. I haven't seen him, says Trask. Curious, says Petofi, I was sure you'd know where he was. No, says Trask, slowly and carefully. Charles Tate finished Quentin's portrait, says Petofi--I consider it an extraordinary likeness. Petofi notices Trask is ignoring him, and says, "Someone has decided to prevent you from pursuing your duties--I won't have that, Mr. Trask, you must come within reach of your triumph, but only within reach." (Ah, so he set all this up! Probably gave Charity the visions.) The ultimate triumph for tonight will be Petofi's, but I shall have it! Petofi puts the portrait in the foyer, leaning it against the table.[/spoiler]

Lang works on his creation, distracted. He can't forget the nightmare. He answers a knock at the door, it's Julia. She asks him what's wrong, and he says, "The dream! This is exactly like the dream!" Upset, he asks her what's happening to him.[/spoiler]
Julia can't tell him what's happening to him. He says he can't work because of the dream. She asks what he's done about an assistant, and he can't even respond. She asks if something's happened to stop the experiment, and he says he must return to work. He only has a limited amount of time or the body will deteriorate, after 48 hours at the most.
