Barnabas warns Willie to get Jason off his back. Vickie is again babysitting Maggie. Maggie is afraid on this night and then the dogs scare Vickie where she has decided calling Burke is the answer. Not the police, nor even animal control, or Joe. A couple dates and Burke is foremost in her mind. Then the door slams shut and Vickie is once again on the outside.

Maggie calls him Doc Woodward. She seems to not know what is happening to her at times and then others it is as if she has a plan such as when she tells Joe she is done with him. Jason is concerned for Vickie going out in the storm. It is quite a storm.  Maggie tells Vickie she loves the darkness. Vickie screams at the figure in the door and Maggie does not.

Except for the atmosphere, why does Maggie have to go to the cemetery to meet Barnabas?  I guess he doesn't realize a young woman walking in a nightgown might call attention to herself.

Jason wants a job title and an office to look respectable. Director of public relations.  Roger is dumbfounded. I keep thinking that even though it is the sixties, that they should if not come right out and have Jason say it, at least imply that he wants some fringe benefits from Elizabeth. I can hear him saying you are quite an attractive woman LIz, and well I have been told I 'm not so bad myself. I think we can come  to some sort of arraignment. If you get my meaning.

 Maggie wears a huge ring to bed that I had never noticed before. I found it odd that a girl as spunky as Maggie has a nightmare and needs to call Joe. Then the solution to the nightmare is to go out on the town and have a drink. Episode title much ado about a nightmare. The fact that Maggie is uneasy around Barnabas makes me think that the nightmare was not caused by him.  I'd say Josette as she would know.

Josette may have left when her picture was removed or someone came to live in the house because David didn't note her disappearance when he ran into his cousin there prior to this visit.

At this point it feels like Barnabas and the old house are one and the same and he sees and hears all that goes on within it's walls.  Willie seems to have replaced the broken window panes with dirty ones but then perhaps he borrowed some from another unrestored room in the house. Maggie feels as if someone is looking right through her.

The Sheriff returns to reveal that Colin's farm cattle are being drained by a person of heir blood, along with other farmers cattle so it is not someone out to get the family. Willie is not sick just suffering from a loss of. Look and his wounds have healed quickly.
