I recall that the talisman is Stokes. Will he ever want it back.  The pants quilt is really a nightmare. Maggie tells hers to the living nightmare. The quilt and Jeff are not meant for large screen viewing.  The DVD ends with Lela Swift and she is really interesting. Joan brought Fritz Lang to the show and he watched every day.

Barnabas plays the Woodard card and shuts Julia up. I was surprised that Barnabas caught Cassandra eavesdropping on them.

Vickie picks up on Cassandra's reaction to Maggie. She wants Maggie to take in Jeff sight unseen and I say run Maggie run.  Jeff and Lang shout at each other.
Maggie dreams and opens the door to Jeff. A nightmare unto itself. He beacons her in and she opens the door to her Mystery Date which turns out to be a dud.  A skull with eyes. Where are the ping pong ball eyes when you need them.
Lang has the injected Jeff strapped down by for some reason waits til he awakens to remove his face. Jeff in a moment of brilliance realizes the score. The psychedelic ending was fun reminding me of riding the ferry from our little town over to the city where there were funky bookstores, record shops, and other related shops full of crazy stuff.

Lang: "I think that thinking about [the possibility of] failure is a contempible weakness."   There's what's wrong with him, in one sentence.

How true. 
With the right actors the graveyard scene could have been good, but the deadly duo just put it somewhere over the edge.
Barnabas decides to go ahead with the experiment which will take place in two or three days and he wants the face of Jeff Clark.  Will Vickie wonder about all the scars on Jeff's body once Barnabas has the face of Jeff Clark?

Cassandra doesn't want to go away and makes that happen. I was wondering why Roger who seems to be a man under the influence did not just agree to stay to please his beloved. Elizabeth wants the marriage annulled today when yesterday she revealed there was no marriage because Roger already has a wife, but she does not tell Cassandra this fact.  Cassandra already reveals herself to the audience to be Angelique and it would seem more interesting to have let this be a question for a while.

The slide is backwards in the beginning. Barnabas and Julia are acting fairly cozy and it's like there was a missing all is forgiven scene for his trying to kill her etc. Roger suddenly has decided the painting is bad and wants to get rid of it but it won't let him and he has a blank canvas and the painting is back at Collinwood.

I don't know why Vickie doesn't think there is something sinister about the painting as she knows how Angelique was in 1795. Maybe she is under some spell about it also as she had to buy it. Roger's behavior and taking the painting should clue her in that something is amiss. The scene where Barnabas looks in the mirror was good. Vickie went to the past to save Daniel and meet Peter?  How clueless she has become. Even if they have changed the story of the family succession, Daniel still had to live for there be a family for her to meet in 1966.  At Dr. Lang's house Jeff brings in a severed arm on ice and it looks good on DVD.  Is the arm a snack for Lang? Is he a cannibal?  Why not snatch bodies from the morgue or funeral home before going to all the work of digging them up, but when you have a criminally insane murderer working for you and running around loose why take the easier solution.
