Joshua finds Millicent alone in the tower room. She has lost whatever shreds of sanity remained to her. She takes him to task for coming to "her" room. Finally he spots the bite marks on her neck and guesses what has happened. Full of pity and sorrow, he draws her close. Barnabas, he sobs, then, Millicent, my poor Millicent. I'll make it all up to you. Barnabas couldn't help himself. She tells him, You must tell the man claiming to be Barnabas to stop using your house. There was a man here, a man who looked like Barnabas--but he was very different. I’m doing what I can about it, Joshua tells her. Millicent giggles again. I don’t remember what you do, she says. Joshua gazes at her with sorrow.
On the docks, a nameless (and silent) streetwalker is putting the moves on Barnabas. He is not exactly reluctant despite his earlier resolve, but she will survive the night, because Barnabas hears Bathia's call in his mind. Follow the light, she tells him. He sees the candle flame hovering in the air before him and begins to follow it.
When Barnabas arrives at the tower room, Bathia is waiting for him with a cross. She holds it up in front of him, and he cringes away with a cry of pain. She places it on the coffin to deny him a place of safety. As he tries desperately to get away from her, she circles him, forming a protective magical field. But Angelique has already possessed Barnabas's body and speaks through him, refusing to be dislodged. Bathia places her hand on Barnabas's heart. He falls to the floor, still. Then, without warning, he springs up and seizes her by the throat.
