One of the all-time greatest episodes ever. JF, GH and even SS shine in this one.
Unnoticed by Barnabas and Sarah, Julia revives and watches with rapt attention--and even compassion--as the scene before her unfolds. Thoroughly ashamed, Barnabas doesn't dare look Sarah in the eye. Wonderful moment when the dreadful vampire is on his knees before his little ghost sister, ordering and then pleading with her to stay.
Still worse for Barnabas is the fact that Julia has seen him at his most vulnerable, so of course he is furious with her, especially when she tries to comfort him. Even as he throws her out of the Old House, she must have some hope that her love for him hasn't been misplaced--because he is still capable of human feelings, even if not for her.
Elizabeth is wearing the hideous yellow caftan that unfortunately makes a return appearance in HoDS. JB and AM are very touching in the scene where Vicki tells Elizabeth that she refuses to give up hope, because otherwise Burke will be gone forever.
Sarah visits David in his room to continue their interrupted conversation. arah warns him, The dead have come back. Someone in the house is in great danger from them. It isn’t you, she tells him but refuses to say whether it’s his father, his aunt, or Carolyn. Then she disappears, despite David's pleas. [spoiler]As far as I know, David will never see her again.[/spoiler]
