Willie talks to Vicky who agrees that it will do not good to talk to Elizabeth or Roger.
Elizabeth will not hear of David being sent away or given therapy, and Roger cannot gainsay her. She will try to talk to him, and keep watch so that he does not go to the Old House.
"We might put a bell round his neck to warn that he is coming."
Woodard examines Maggie, to make sure that she is recovering well,
He draws blood from her, and ten talks to her about Joe.
"Joe is in trouble. He needs to stop making those contraband runs"
"Joe..."
"Maggie, back in the thirties, they brought booze from Canada through here. Now it is drugs... Maggie, you and Joe only think of the money, but drugs destroy lives... Maybe I have a soft spot for Joe, but I would not like to see him go to jail. Patterson suspects him, and will be laying a trap. I should not warn him, but... but, well, I am fond of him. I warn him this once. I will not warn him a second time. So talk sense to him. Or prepare to visit him in jail."
When she leaves, he tests the blood he took, and ships some of it to Julia. Hoffman.
Vicky goes to see Barnabas at night, with the questions he has for him. He is surprised to see her, but appreciates to have home delivery and bites her.
He senses that she is thinking of David and him. He asks her, and she tells him about David's attempt on him.
Barnabas feels fury rise in him, as his hands clench, and make strangling movements.
Then he hears the song "London Bridge"
"Olajuwon" he says.
He is still here, and goading him to destroy his family... He forces himself to calm down.
"David is the last of the Collins, since Carolyn does not seem willing to marry. If Olajuwon goaded me into killing him, he would have finally destroyed the family"
Vicky talks about David's disturbed history, how he almost killed his father. She also talks about Laura and how Roger married his own grandmother. And great-great-grandmother.
"And, looking at the records, Quentin Collins, who died unmarried in the Civil War was engaged to another Laura. The line broke there, but it began again with Jamison."
Barnabas wonders if he can get Elizabeth to do something about David. Or if he can scare some sense into him.
Carolyn is playing solitaire, visibly upset when David races downstairs, saying that there is a giant bat in his room.
Carolyn goes up but sees nothing. She tells him to calm down, that he must have dreamed it.
David goes back to bed, and on the nightstand he sees the bomb that he had put on Barnabas' coffin.
Julia Hoffman tests the new sample that Woodard sent him, the one from Maggie.
"Yes, the levels are higher now. Whatever happened, it did not stop with her, it is still going on. Just because something has no visible symptoms does not mean that it does not exist. And, if what I think is correct.."
She calls Jeff Clark to her office.
The next night David finds Barnabas in his room, fangs bared.
"I know what you did, David, what you tried to do. And I want to tell you that it must stop."
David screams and Barnabas disappears.
Carolyn and Roger go to his room, but of course, Barnabas has vanished. He tells them that Barnabas was there, and that he had fangs..
Vicky tells Roger that she is going to see Barnabas and that he should come with her.
Of course, when they come in, Barnabas opens the door, very surprised.
"I was about to go to bed."
Roger says that David NEEDS therapy, and asks Vicky to back him up.
Barnabas tells them that he is worried that David can get hurt if he comes to the Old House. Roger agrees, and apologizes.
Later Barnabas comes to David's bedside.
"You see, they did not believe you. So, you and I are going to have a talk. Like it or not, the future of the family rests on you, and I am going to make sure that you grow up properly." He makes him stare at his eyes and hypnotizes him. "We have a long way ahead, both of us."
The next day Carolyn goes into town and hears her name called. A voice that she hoped not to hear again. She turns, and Buzz Hackett is there.
