The hills are alive! Though not with the sound of music.
Julia and Barnabas are in a position to kill Angelique and put an end to her schemes. Until Barnabas gets a look at sleeping beauty and falls for her immediately. He somehow has the idea that if Julia examines her, she will be able to reverse whatever Stokes did. Which Julia refutes. Stokes may let her in the room from time to time but he would certainly be suspicious if a housekeeper tried to perform an EKG. Once again, Barnabas puts himself first. He doesn't have the right to kill her because she's beautiful in a world of ugliness? Stop playing God, buster. You don't have any right to interfere in anyone's life. But you do constantly. I'm with Julia 100% on this. His decision allows Angelique to run even further amok. And all of the nasty stuff that follows including [spoiler]Julia's being held hostage in the Collinwood basement [/spoiler]are a direct result of this asinine decision.
The sudden infatuation with Roxanne comes way out of nowhere and has little credibility. It also damaged the character of Barnabas. He will continue to make incredibly poor decisions based on what he thinks about whatever Roxanne he is involved with at the moment. And he will remain oblivious to the impact this has on other people.
Angelique continues to manipulate Maggie, even setting her up for a rendezvous with Bruno. Maggie is so lonely and unhappy that she is on the verge of saying yes. If Roger had not interrupted, would she have gone with it?
Angelique plays Bruno very well. Even though the Maggie hookup didn't happen, she has cunningly gotten him to call the police about the murder.
