Leticia, Flora and Desmond talk about witchcraft. Flora and Carrie are at the cemetery after the funeral and someone watches Carrie. It is a young man. We learn that her father was Amos Stokes and mother Martha Bradbury and he is Jeremy Grimes, the son of the dreaded Mordaci Grimes. He wants to walk Carrie home.
Leticia finds out there was a vampire in 1797 and they never die. Jeremy wants to see Carrie again and she agrees. Leticia reads Carries Palm and it's not good.  Flora talks vampires with Barnabas and Leticia and wants a seance which conjures up the great love Roxanne.  So now there is an instant love story in the Romeo and Juliet vein, but Carrie has been a mainly missing in action character among many and does one care? She has apparently found a cross your heart bra during her time off  of maybe the one that Jane Russell used to hawk.
you know there's a whole wing that's closed off all the time; the west wing, I go there lots of times

Highlight of the episode is a genuinely sweet scene between Desmond and Leticia. It is very well played and captures the two characters perfectly.
They are gearing up for Quentin's witchcraft trial. Flora doesn't want Desmond to defend Quentin. She certainly has a point but she and Quentin seem to be the only "good" characters who actually seem to trust Gerard. Everyone else seems at least suspicious.
We get some back story on the Stokes family. Carrie's deceased parents were Amos Stokes and Martha Bradbury, which is all well and good. But Carrie seems to be an only child, so how does the line continue, if Eliot and, by extension, Hallie are direct descendants of Ben Stokes?
There is a brief attempt at tying the story to 1970 when Leticia reads Carrie's palm. Carrie assumes that it's further proof that she and Tad are going the way of the dinosaur.
Flora has an idea for a new book about vampires and seemed unaware that there had been attacks back in 1790whatever. Though it's certainly conceivable that Flora may not have lived in Collinsport then, someone probably said something over the years, even if it was merely Daniel babbling.
Flora logically decides to hold a seance to see if she can get Roxanne to name names. Barnabas does not look pleased with the idda.
