Yes, when I remembered it was on and switched the channel, the first thing I saw was Buzz.

Carrie tells Jeremy his father is dead over another obviously fake corpse. Gerard and Dawson are gleeful. Barnabas tells Q the news. Carrie and Jeremy are called to testify and implicate Q. It's extremely boring. Q takes stand and says he's not guilty and threatens Dawson. Really smart. The trial,puts a rift between the star-crossed lovers as Jeremy says Q is guilty and Carrie says he is just like his father. Q is ready to hear the verdict.

Gerard works on Daphne to marry him. Samantha walks in still hysterical over Johanna. Johanna sis with Q and talks of their love and notes she wrote. He says he loves Daphne and wants her to leave. Daphne thinks Samantha was impersonating Johanna.  Another awful dream in which she sees Q and Johanna's love. Daphne and Johanna talk and Daphne decides to step aside. She will marry Gerard. 

It feels like they cut out an episode. We have no resolution of the cliffhanger. Instead Of Gerard grilling Stokes, we get Gerard talking to Q about getting a new lawyer. Charles wants to find the head in Q's lab. Naturally Gerard is reluctant.  Gerard tells Q he can't find a lawyer so Q represents self. Trask testifies. QDawson says Q wanted Daniel dead. Barnabas enters the courtroom and defends Q.  So,apparently offscreen he was found by Julia and rescued and recovered quickly from being walled up for a week.

Gerard and Flora are at Rose cottage. Leticia comes in and announces Desmond has been accused of witchcraft. Desmond tells Leticia Gerard is possessed.
Valerie askes Julia where Barnabas is. Julia reveals to Valerie that she believes Valerie loves Barnabas. What happened to psychiatrist Julia?  Where is her scepticIal side?
Letcia tells Julia they need to find the head. Desmond is trying to convince his mother that Gerrd is evil Judah.
Search for head. No head to be found. Valerie decides to talk to Lamar and Julia hears steps on the stairway through time. Door opens.  Who will be Julia's mystery date?

Trask wants Daphne to turn against Q.  Valerie worries over Barnabas and tells Julia, who she just recently hated, the whole true story of her involve the with Judah Zachary. Julia decides to ask Leticia's help to find Barnabas.  Daphne accuses Gerard of being behind the plot as he was only one who knew about it. Gerard then works to get Samantha on his side. She will be Johanna's ghost to get Q. Gerard decides to make Daphne have another dreadful dream. She loves Gerard and is kissing him in the dream. She awakes and then tells him she believes him now. Valerie,thinks she can get Judah to love her again. Gerard is apparently quite the Stud  and makes me wonder who had a thing for him behind the scenes. Trask and Gerard see the caped woman leave note. Samantha says no,note when she went there. Johanna is back!  No surprise there.

IN the reprise, it is clearly Virginia walking in dark with knife, Gerard forces Samantha to work with him and admits he's against Q. Samantha recounts her encounter with Johanna. She is beautifully filmed. It was much more interesting watching her than the plot line. Samantha used Johanna's letters and then forged new ones. Gerard says he had to reject her when Q returned. Gerard learns the Daphne is Johanna's sister.
Lamar lures Barnabas his cellar with promises of Roxanne's ghost. Lamar revels he will seal Barnabas up in the wall.

Valerie comes on the reprise of yesterday. Gerard is hostile and finally leaves. Valerie says she helped Barnabas for love and there is no price; and she will always love him. She has lifted the curse although I'm sure in other times she was unable and theoretically this is not her curse, but the Leviathan. Maybe that is why she can lift it? More of the unfinshed Sam Hall.
Julia, clearly jealous says it's all madness to believe her. Barnabas  says he must believe her. Julia realizes she has gone too far and Barnabas has noticed so she quickly says she cares as a friend. I really like these scenes because of the acting even though the set up is terrible.
Gabe has gotten only 1/2 of his check and Gerard explains it's because of the cost of the trial. Really?
Barnabas comes in raving about the day to Valerie. He gets out of her that she thinks that Judah is possessing Q and he was the one who made her a witch. He convinces her that Gerard is the threat . This scene should have happened before she took the curse off Barnabas.
Julia and Gebe talk and he hears Daniels voice, Julia does not. Daniel appears and says he murdered me. Later Gabe comes in Drawing room via the secret panel and hits Gerard over the head and begins to strangle him.
