He then adds, “You should only play with dolls.” This seems to be a corrected version of the messed up lines from the cliffhanger struggle between Beth and Dirk. There is also more of a struggle between them. Barnabas’s face has very different reactions to Dirk’s attack. Dirk says, “I’ll get em all.” Dirk then plays with Beth and gives her the gun but he’s emptied it already. He locks her in the cellar. Beth cries. Dirk goes to the cottage and encounters Jamison who wears a light tanned light jacket.
