When you put it that way, it sounds a little bit like a death. We have to get used to the fact that we'll never see that person again in life.
Chris asks the operator to get him 7758. The phone rings at the Great House, even though that isn't the usual phone number for Collinwood!) I guess the Collinwood exchange is the only one in town! Chris asks for Julia, but Barnabas tells "Jennings" (without the Mister) that there's been an emergency with Mrs. Stoddard--too much information?
Barnabas practically wails, Why did HE have to come and take her away? Why? WHY? It was Vicki's choice to make, Julia replies, but that’s the last thing Barnabas wants to hear. Julia tells him, I spoke with Vicki after Jeff's disappearance. She was willing to sacrifice her life to be with him. This only makes Barnabas furious. Julia says, You must accept this for your own peace of mind! Through clenched teeth, Barnabas says, I'll accept she's gone and that I'll never see Vicki again--but I blame Jeff for interfering in the first place! I can't force you to see what you should see, Julia sighs patiently.
Meanwhile, poor Chris is without the sleeping pills Julia promised him. Amy wishes he could have come to the movies with her and Joe. After Joe leaves, she looks up at the sky, fearful when she sees the full moon. Although she's been at Collinwood only a short time, she has already adapted to the decor and is dressed entirely in green, even her shoes. Chris also knows that the moon is full--and why it's so frightening.
Barnabas told Julia he wanted to see Elizabeth, but where was he? Not with Elizabeth, because he would have known that she has left the house. Maybe he went back to Vicki’s room to indulge his misery one more time. With the gentle manner he always reserves for small children (and which JF does so nicely), he tries to explain to Amy about Elizabeth, but becomes alarmed when Amy says she left the house. After he leaves to get Julia, Amy puts on her green coat and runs out.
Chris finally goes to Collinwood, and Julia gives him the sleeping pills. At the mausoleum, Elizabeth tells Amy that soon people will think that she (E.) is dead but she won't be, and she'll be buried alive. If Elizabeth weren't under Angelique's spell, she would never say such terrible things to a little kid.
Poor Chris! Poor Joe!
