Angelique summons Barnabas to take Joe, now seriously injured, away from Nicholas's house.
Synopsis[]
- Night over Collinwood, a dismal night that promises new disasters, for in a house by the sea, an ageless drama is being acted out. And one man has discovered that both sacred and profane love can leave you completely alone.
Angelique summons Barnabas to take Joe.
Joe reflects that his life is ruined by Angelique who confirms that she doesn't care. He picks up a letter opener and attempts to kill her, but she is relatively unthreatened. Eventually he turns to self-loathing, and while Angelique tries to leave the room, bored, he apparently commits seppuku with the letter opener and collapses.
Angelique finally becomes agitated at the thought of the repercussions she's going to face from Nicholas when he comes back and finds a near dead Joe on his floor. In a panic, she calls for Barnabas. Julia finds the bite marks on Joe's neck. Joe threatens to kill Barnabas when he finds he too has the bite marks on his neck.
Memorable quotes[]
- Barnabas (to Angelique): Is that what you’ll do with me when you don’t want me anymore? Will you have someone carry me to the woods and kill me?

Story[]
Bloopers and continuity errors[]
- Lara Parker appears to not want to move her hand or touch anything.
- When Angelique is summoning Barnabas and telling him to hurry, the camera moves to Joe's face. A shadow then is seen moving across his face.
- Jonathan Frid flubs a line in Act II: "Wh...why should...wh...what would that do?"
- After Julia and Barnabas see the bite marks on Joe's neck, Jonathan Frid seems to forget his lines. After he says, "I'm as shocked as you are," he looks up aand stares at the teleprompter before continuing. He does so again when he says, "We must hope for the best. We must keep guard."
- Julia has constant sniffling and flubs, "Barnabas, get Julia... get, get, get Maggie."
- When Maggie goes up the steps to see Joe, the Old House door is open a bit more than a crack, seemingly for no reason.
- Jonathan Frid flubs the word "imagination": "i-mage-i...imagination."
- In Act III, there are loud off-stage noises at times, probably the camera moving on its tracks.
