Where was Abigail?

As I re-watch these episodes, I wonder about certain things that didn't occur to me at the time. Where was Abigail when Barnabas was having his choking fit? It would have been a good time for her to ferret out witches. The fact that Vicki was present and Angelique wasn't should have been enough to shift suspicion away from her. But I guess Vicki Winters was just destined to be accused of witchcraft. It really is tragic that Abigail's paranoia couldn't have worked to save Vicki.
