Lara Parker seems to have a cold: her voice was a little bit hoarse today. Her character, meanwhile, has gotten into a rut. When everybody at Collinwood was telling Elizabeth her fears of being buried alive were groundless, did it ever to Vicky that she herself would be buried alive?
I don't suppose it would come to burial alive for Vicky, however, because if it did, there would be no reason for Barnabas to stay in 1796. I can't remember exactly what Angelique does at this point, but the next step would be for her to tell Barnabas that Vicky is alive, and that if he goes back to 1968, Vicky will die. The obvious question is: "What's the difference between death and Vicky's present state?" but Barnabas will see a difference, no doubt, and if he doesn't, then no doubt Angelique will think of something extra to throw in to persuade him to stay with her. And, as usual, I suppose she thinks that Barnabas will come to love her.
[spoiler]Looking ahead to the the events of 1840, I suppose that idea isn't so crazy. My theory is that there's a good, lovable Angelique imprisoned inside the bad Angelique, who couldn't be free until Gerard Stiles came to life. Maybe Angelique feels the presence of that lovable Angelique inside her, and just can't believe that it isn't in any way apparent to anybody else.[/spoiler]
