[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #651 (1968) - Barnabas - 'Elizabeth was perfectly normal until Cassandra came. They hated each other from the moment they met. Cassandra MUST have cast some kind of spell over her.'
From "Robservations 9/18/02 - #651-652/3 - Liz & Death; Joe vs. Werewolf"
Julia tells Barnabas that Liz is in bad shape--this is one shock she may not recover from--she had a serious relapse because of Vicki's leaving, and Liz associates it with a slow kind of death, the kind she thinks is coming for her. It's all in her mind, surely, protests Barnabas. It's a very real threat to Liz, Julia assures him--I've given her a sedative, and perhaps in the morning, her outlook will be better. Barnabas fears Liz will be worse. Julia says she has no answers, but Liz does have an alarming preoccupation with death, rooted deeply in her mind--I don't know where or how it began. With Cassandra, says Barnabas--considering she and Liz hated each other on first sight--it must be a spell Cassandra cast. That doesn't matter now, says Julia, Cassandra is gone. Barnabas supposes she's right.
The Robservations does a lot of paraphrasing of the quote but it references it well...
And this is the fourth quote from this ep. The first (Liz - 'You're very young. You MUST think about living, not about death') was back on February 6th of 2023, the second (Julia - 'I know it's very difficult for you to accept this, Barnabas, but you MUST, for your own piece of mind') was back on April 25th of 2023, and the third (Chris - 'This is an emergency. I MUST talk to her immediately!') was back on December 14th. So all that means that Ep #651 has joined the club with Eps #2, #3, #42, #44, #50, #52, #54, #66, #106, #119, #133, #195, #208, #211, #212, #296, #300, #308, #315, #340, #365, #367, #377, #384, #405, #426, #449, #450, #462, #466, #479, #481, #503, #506, #518, #543, #544, #550, #608, #609, #629, #639, #643, #644, #646, #647, #655, #678, #709, #717, #727, #734, #742, #743, #746, #750, #763, #764, #883, #884, #886, #889, #915, #975, #976, #977, #993, #1006, #1011, #1014, #1057, #1064, #1081, #1111, #1125, #1126, #1127, #1128, #1197, #1199, #1206, #1218 and #1232. However, not only recall that Eps #42, #44, #52, #66, #133, #208, #211, #300, #367, #377, #384, #449, #466, #550, #609, #629, #639, #646, #678, #709, #727, #734, #742, #746, #915, #977, #993, #1057, #1111, & #1197 have five quotes, but Eps #66, #377, #384, #449, #646, #727, #915 & #993 have six quotes.
