Synopsis

Willie brings food to Adam but Willie runs out. Julia theatens Willie. He mentions that he was better off at Windcliff but she counters with the fact that if he goes back there, he will be there for the rest of his life, with a report about how he can never get better. He says that is not true. Julia will go prepare more food since Adam threw the food on the ground. Adam takes Willie’s button and Willie realizes Adam likes shiny things. Willie moves the sixth brick down on the wall and opens the secret panel to get the chest of jewels. He shows them to a fascinated Adam and tells him that these belonged, once, to a lady named Josette. Suddenly, a bright light goes on in the room. Willie muses that he once saw the ear rings in the box on Josette but then tells Adam it was really a woman named Maggie Evans, a lady that looked just like her. She lived here for a time. Willie holds the ear rings up by his eyes in a strange shot, blocking part of his face. He hits on the brilliant idea that he will give Maggie the ear rings without her knowing.

Willie waits outside Maggie’s main room window in a shot we have not seen before from outside the window looking in. The set looks nice. Maggie tells Joe she was going to wash the brushes but Pop had a sudden burst of inspiration to paint. Joe will clean the coffee cups. When the pair go to do their chores…or Maggie to get ready and Joe to do the coffee cups…Willie comes in and puts the ear rings in Maggie’s purse.

Willie comes back to Adam and Julia later. He was gone for a half hour. Julia questions Willie over his whereabouts and his muddy shoes.

Maggie thinks Pop took both sets of keys to the house so she and Joe cannot leave on their date. He suggests her purse and she finds her set of keys AND the ear rings. Maggie thinks the ear rings are great but also a bit sad and that the person who wore them must have been elegant, rich but also sad. When Joe expresses disapproval, because the ear rings are not from him, she tells him that she loves a good book or a box of candy as a gift over them any day. Sure. “I feel drawn to them,” she seems to say. Joe gets more upset as she looks at them on her and in the mirror.

Adam corners Willie into a corner but when Julia comes in, Willie gets her to show Adam her necklace to stop him. He’s taken all the buttons off his own coat and one off Willie’s. Willie runs out and tells Julia that Adam should be destroyed. If not, he will destroy you, he tells Julia, who counters that she doesn’t think that any more. He is intelligent and has an alert mind. Willie doesn’t see that. Julia tells him, “It takes intelligence to know intelligence.” She also says, as she goes up the steps, “We’ll give him the calm comfort of your absence.” She has left the music on Lang’s tape recorder (reel to reel btw) to play for Adam as she and Willie go up stairs. Adam hears Lang’s message. Adam says, “Barnabas.”
