In the repeat of yesterday's scene, the Head's eyes are open and the coffin that was open is shut.
Julia and Barnabas talk at the Old House. Meanwhile, at Collinwood, the tension mounts as Daniel comes into the Drawing Room and Mrs. Barnabas Collins AKA Valerie. She reminds him of someone and it is Angelique. The witch!  She hastily puts a spell on him and Harriet appears. He apparently murdered her on Widow's Hill.
He won't remember and when Leticia comes in he introduces her.
Julia goes to Bedford. Just where is Bedford? It's apparently close enough to enable a headless body to get to Collinsport and travel to the cemetery in a short time. Judah was the most evil man that ever lived.  Julia learns. He is immortal as long as he has the mask of Bal which is the gold thing with a few fake jewels in it.
Miranda a follower testified against him and his head must be severed . One of the Judges was Armadeaus Collins. Barnabas recalls him the his tragic family.
Angelique comes in in Barnabas and Julia and suspects affair. Julia reveals she knows all. Angelique accepts that they are friends and then reveals she has changed and loves Barnabas.
Leticia takes Julia to the head and it looks at her and she is transfixed. The head is not scary. It is ugly. They should have got someone handsome enough to at least look at and justify that the person was charismatic enough to have followers on and off screen.
you know there's a whole wing that's closed off all the time; the west wing, I go there lots of times

Angelique has an encounter with Daniel. As loony as Daniel can be at times, he does recognize her as the woman that he knew when he was a boy. She quickly does damage control and threatens him with the ghost of his late wife. Harriet makes a brief appearance and looks a bit like Laura in the Johnny Depp movie.
Family reunion time at the old house! Angelique, now calling herself Valerie, drops in unannounced and surprises Barnabas and Julia. It's a good scene but one that I found frustrating. This is definitely not Angelique Rumson, who had mellowed with time and had a much better relationship with Barnabas and Julia. This Angelique is a lot nastier than the character had been depicted in some time. Lara does a good job but the character is more of a cliche villain here. Barnabas reacts to her as he would an enemy, which is a little odd but in character. But Angelique and Julia had become quite friendly, so her reaction seems more out of character.
Barnabas sends Julia to Bedford to investigate the 1692 back story. It doesn't matter to him that it's late at night and anyplace that keeps records is unlikely to be open. He wants answers and he wants them now! Fortunately, Julia gets them. Apparently, Judah was a big deal back then, doing whatever warlocks do. He was brought to trial but it looked like he was going to get away with it, until one of his followers testified and explained what needed to be done. The woman's name was Miranda.
There's a brief discussion as to why Daphne never mentioned anything to them about a witchcraft trial or a severed head in 1970. So, why didn't she?
Leticia is under the spell of the head and seems more adept at handling the situation than Desmond was. The body is relatively docile with her and the head is communicating with her. She manages to lure Julia to yet another crypt where it seems that Julia will be expected to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Rog it might be time to open up Magnus Trask's thread on 1840 Angelique again... Fascinating reading.
