Some excellent choices here. I'm going to go with a different seance, from #642. It's the seance where Magda speaks through Carolyn and warns them about Quentin, though the people at the seance typically have no idea who or what she is referring to. The episode is rather unique, as it brings three different plot threads together: Vicki's search for Jeff/Peter. Chris' fear of being discovered as a werewolf. The early phases of the haunting of Collinwood.
It's also unique because it's Professor Stokes in charge. Julia and Barnabas are not around. This and the episode where Elizabeth, Roger and Carolyn go exploring in the west wing shows them functioning as an actual family and being far more proactive than in most other storylines.
Josette, I absolutely love the scene that you selected. It showed great insight into both Angelique and Barnabas, that, after their experiences in 1897, that their relationship has evolved to a different level. It seemed quite natural here. I found their reconciliation towards the end of 1840 somewhat forced and nowhere near as moving.
