I find it hilarious how all the other characters are trying to stop the curse to save Barnabas, but Stokes does it for the thrill of the hunt. Of course, he also cares about Barnabas, but his main reason is he actually does it for FUN! All the other characters are terrified to face Angelique/Cassandra, and for him, it is a sport. Professor Stokes rocks! Lol
