Barnabas finds Julia studying Lang's papers and tells her (again) to hurry up. When Barnabas gets even more insistent, Julia snaps, Leave me alone, please, _please_! This is uncharacteristic enough to alarm him, and eventually Julia tells him about the dream. She's fighting her compulsion to tell Mrs. Johnson about it because she fears that Barnabas will be the next victim. Then you must avoid her, says the ruthless Barnabas, with no sympathy for Julia’s suffering.
They puzzle over Lang's last words until Julia finally realizes he meant the tape recorder. They play it, but listen only long enough to hear the Mozart. Barnabas pulls the drape aside to take another look at Adam. I’m glad Lang chose this face, he says. It's a handsome one. Because of Vicki, comments Julia with some disdain. He replies, I’m well aware that I’m older than Jeff Clark (by only about two hundred years). Julia says, For some women, that wouldn’t make any difference. Hastily she turns away in embarrassment at having betrayed herself. Barnabas turns toward her. He just misses seeing her face--but then again he hardly has to. His ruthlessness has vanished (for the moment) as he tells her gently, Julia, I’ve never taken the trouble to say this to you before, but I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Whether we succeed or fail, I appreciate it. I want you to know that, he finishes as he places his hand on her shoulder. Still flustered, Julia moves away from him and answers brusquely, We’re wasting time. Are you coming downstairs? She moves toward the door, and he follows after a last look at Adam. They’ve left the recorder on, and when the tape reaches Lang's last, urgent message (near the end of the repeat), the only person who hears it is the still-lifeless Adam.
Maggie is at home making a frame for her pop when Professor Stokes comes to visit. The scene is nicely lit with lots of shadows. He introduces himself and tells Maggie that he teaches at the university. (Eventually she will resume waitressing, but we will never see the coffee shop again. I guess the thought of Maggie going to college never crossed anyone's mind.) For her, telling Stokes the dream is almost as bad as having it was, but the professor has much more grace than Barnabas and apologizes handsomely for distressing her.
After Barnabas notes the professor's remarkable resemblance to Ben Stokes, Julia reminds Barnabas that Roger first met Cassandra at Professor Stokes's house, but the script editor messed up there, because Roger met her at Portsmouth and didn't know Professor Stokes (I think).
