"He locked me in a room... and then he died."-- Jenny. I always remembered that line. Maybe it's stuff like this that gets DS really going, the criss-crossing of circumstances leading to (say) Barnabas being a millimeter away from disaster, that sort of thing. Just when it's all about Jenny and Quentin, rather than the writers/plotters forgetting about other issues (as they used to), just when B's vampirism is well off center stage, Jenny the loose cannon brings it roaring back to the spotlight. We then think it's settled, with a lot of effort from Magda...
Quentin learns about Jenny's origin. The Curse is first threatened by Magda... and in an instant, both Selby and Hall give the simple hand gesture total credibility. Quentin knows enough to be totally mortified at it. After the break, Quentin is over it though, brushing the threat aside.
One of the best cliffhangers ever-- Jenny encounters Barnabas again the next night, when he's discussing her with Judith, and he doesn't quite realize, I guess, that the last time she saw him, he was in the coffin, or, after a hasty conversation earlier with Magda, he thinks it's been dealt with. Jenny was totally unprepared for seeing him alive though-- she only promised to say nothing about seeing him in the coffin. Jenny screams that, he's dead!!! She saw him in the coffin!! Another classic look of mortification...
