Barnabas fades into 1969, with the Leviathans box. I guess the cairn in now multi-temporal. That was his means of conveyance? I think it opened, and only then did he fade in. I don't remember hearing the speech from the robed people that impressed me so much a decade ago, seeing Leviathans maybe for the first time, to my memory anyway. I remember the charred and blackened star line, not knowing they pull that line out for all ceremonies. It all sounded as if other planets were entering the story! The scale of DS was really widening! I thought. Well, Lovecraft has that same feel, I realize now. Other planets were definitely involved, with his supernatural stuff, no science fiction / fantasy line for him.
Welcome back Elliot, not called by that first name yet. Is that music his theme, that sounds a bit like a clock? Why is Stokes, a spell expert, working on Sabrina Stuart? Her MD is another Dr Reade, if spelled that way.
Chris bounds onto the scene, not shy about needing help anymore, and Barnabas shoots him down cruelly. I suppose Barnabas, if acting from free will, could have worked further on ending Q's curse, rather than just accepting the relief the portrait gives Q. The curse is still there, still inherited by Chris. Now the staff at Wyndcliffe knows about Chris the werewolf? Or they're under strict orders to ignore those sounds and not let him out... creating curiosity I'm sure... At least Chris is better, randomly changing, but not changed all the time. What's changing things for him? I like Lisa Richards' acting here, struggling to overcome the invisible barrier, to speak.
