Poor Hoffman, still being called that, even in death. Barnabas has good debating skills with ghosts. Interesting case he makes... but Hoffman knows Ang doesn't want to die to join her. In the end, for Hoffman, having A there with her over-rides everything else, even if H would be guilty of having let her die at Barnabas's hand, and even if Hoffman ends up being joined in the afterlife by an eternally bitter, angry, vengeful Angelique. So she cries. There is absolutely no way out of this dilemma for Hoffman. It's very sad, and well done. We don't know what ghost Ang could do to ghost Hoffman, but we know it would be bad, and would never stop.
I liked Denise Nickerson's moments on her own by the front stairs. "I'm not afraid"... it really sounded as if she was saying that to herself. The best acting is when you're convinced you're seeing the character thinking.
