Lacey VO. Charity's room... she has those Delft tiles in her fireplace that Lydia liked so much. I LOLed at Charity's fake tears and her begging her father to save her from Barnabas, when she doesn't mean one word of it ... that must have been fun. There's a moment with her and Barnabas later, after he arrives, when we get a close-up on her face, and it comes across how much she [/i]really[/i] wants Barnabas, as forced on her as the desire is. She pictures all this ending with Barnabas and her joining hands and living forever in their place of perfect safety, that she is helping him to find. It's a nice intimate moment. Barnabas then reacts with a look that says (to me), uh, this is getting more serious than I intended... almost like a boyfriend whose girlfriend is implying marriage, when he has no such intention.
Barnabas gets them out of that tight spot in the only way he knows how, by biting and overwhelming the other's will. It's almost funny. It's like... uh, uh, not sure what to say, uh... never mind, screw this, bitey bitey... Nora comes in, shocked. End. All this that I talk about above is excised for the redo, next episode. They get through the scene more "efficiently", without those implications.
Thanks for contributing these observations such as its being the first mention of garlic as a deterrent, DL. I heard Ed say "outsmarted" and thought, that can't be a period word...
