While Julia and Dave Woodard watch to see when Willie will wake up, Julia lights a cigarette. Fortunately the oxygen tent and the oxygen have been removed.

As the camera closes in on the IV apparatus, we can see that whatever they’re using for blood stops just short of the tube that extends from the (glass) bottle.

The sheriff insists that Barnabas has to wait in the hallway outside Willie's room just like any ordinary mortal. The sole sole decoration is a poster exhorting him to Give Blood, Save Lives.

The total number of people who know Julia's true identity is now seven: Barnabas, Dr. Woodard, Sam and Maggie Evans, the sheriff, and Joe--and of course Willie.

The sheriff produces Maggie's ring from his pocket--no evidence bag or anything--and explains how he found it in Willie's room.

It almost seems as if Willie is ready to tell all--but then he doesn't. I wonder if this was supposed to be his final appearance before the staking of Barnabas.

The old sheriff is back as we'll as his overextended uniform. Willie has mde a miraculous recovery from multiple bullets, surgery and being on death watch. I love Julia smoking up a storm in the room with a patient just off oxygen.  It is the sixties. Now give her a cocktail and hor'derve and it would be perfect.
Why would Willie not be still under Barnabas' control? But then he is hopelessly insane so all is well.
you know there's a whole wing that's closed off all the time; the west wing, I go there lots of times

So, Willie's coming out of his coma. Jules is all ready trying to come up with excuses for Willie's blabbing the truth to everyone. I don't know how to feel about her actually considering taking Willie out. She's always so anti kill. But self preservation is a strong motive to kill, and let's face it, she's learning from the best.

I absolutely hate the fact that they show Julia going to remove Willie's intravenous needle from his arm twice. It is f'n stupid.

Loved that the writers have the sheriff insist Barn stay out of Willie's room until he's had a chance to question him. It would have been so like them to have let Barn in the room, I almost expected it. It is certainly realistic and suspenseful, and I personally enjoy watching Barn squirm, especially after that slap-worthy smile yesterday in Willie's room.

I also enjoyed the sheriff's gruffness with Julia in Willie's hospital room.

Barn talks awfully loud in public places, doesn't he? Geesh! I also very much enjoyed Grayson's performance when Julia talks about not being able to kill Willie.

They sure know how to make someone look awful! Karlen looks pretty tattered as Willie in the hospital bed. The suspense is really played up as they have Willie talk about being afraid of the dark, etc. I wonder if anyone in the audience thinks that Willie is faking being nuts? I wondered for a second myself. But it kind of looks like he remembers some things but perhaps it's the emotions he's remembering and not the actual events.

And why is Willie saying the ring is his? Does that make sense to anyone? I'm thinking I may have missed the meaning of that because I started the watching project after Maggie returned to Collinsport.

Gerringer is still floating my boat as an actor.

If Willie were faking it, I wonder of Barn would be able to tell.

Pretty good ep. - no Sarah, at least.

Maggie originally gave Willie the ring as a bribe to help her escape. But he dropped it right in front of the door to the Old House. Barnabas found it and recognized it as being Maggie's.

Gerringer is the best of the Woodards by a long shot.

Thanx for the clarification re: Maggie's ring, DL.

Yes, I agree re: Dr Woodard. I just saw the new Dr. Woodard last night.
