Two interesting bits of dialogue from Ep #1176 - though they're interesting for very different reasons.
First up, this:
[spoiler]
GERARD
... This case can be easily solved. All we have to do is find the head and prove that it has been destroyed. Quentin can no longer be possessed with something that doesn't exist. ...
[/spoiler]
Huh? Just how does one go about finding something that's been destroyed and doesn't exist?
If that's the way Sam Hall actually wrote the dialogue, meaning it wasn't somehow twisted in James Storm's delivery, one really has to wonder what the hell sort of logic Hall was working from when he wrote it?!
And then there's this fascinating exchange between Angelique and Julia:
[spoiler]
ANGELIQUE
(In despair)
Where is Barnabas? Julia, I would give every power I possess right now if I could just see where he is.
JULIA
(Skeptical)
Are you really in love with him?
ANGELIQUE
(Surprised)
You still doubt me?
JULIA
I don't know.
(Accepting)
No. I suppose I don't. Not anymore.
ANGELIQUE
The only comfort I have is that I think he understood at last that I love him.
[/spoiler]
That would certainly seem to poke a hole into any theories that the show used Barnabas' [spoiler]admission of love for Angelique simply to correlate it with the intial scene between Bramwell and Catherine in 1841PT. For one, 1841PT itself wouldn't show up until Ep #1186, another 10 episodes, and the scene between Bramwell and Catherine wouldn't show up until Ep #1197, another 21 episodes - almost a full month. The way for Barnabas' admission of love[/spoiler] was definitelybeing paved here in Ep #1176, if not actually as far back as Ep #1169 while Barnabas thanked Angelique for [spoiler]lifting her curse.[/spoiler]
