Barnabas decides that Maggie will be the life force for the experiment; this angers Willie, he plans to destroy the body so Maggie will not be used.
Synopsis
- There are many secrets at the great estate of Collinwood, secrets that sometimes demand action, and one of them lies on an operating table in an old house on the estate. It is a lifeless body, which may someday walk, and on this night an attempt is being made to bring it alive, but by a man who does not have the right to do it, using a woman who knows she must give life to the body in order to escape the punishment to which she has been sentenced. And if they succeed, they will create more terrible problems than they have solved.
Barnabas catches Jeff conducting the experiment; Angelique disappears before Barnabas sees her. Barnabas tells Jeff he can no longer be part of the experiment, and orders him to leave the lab. Barnabas decides that Maggie will be the life force for the experiment; this angers Willie, he plans to destroy the body so Maggie will not be used.

Bloopers and continuity errors
- Lara Parker flubs, "Tonight... tomorrow night!"

- Jonathan Frid messes up his line, “Making this has been the most unpleasant thing I’ve ever had to do. But now comes an even more pleasant — unpleasant part.”
- When Julia is in the Old House cellar someone's voice calls out: "Steve!"
- John Karlen accidentally refers to Barnabas as "Barblissis."
- How is the life force being transferred?!?!?!? Nobody is hooked up to anything!!! :-)
