Maggie sorts the files she got from Lang's computer.
She notes that they are encrypted and that she will have to find the key. Hopefully Lang left it in another file. She hopes to get them translated.
She notices Joe leafing through a notebook.
"What is it?"
"Miss Hoffman's notes on Barnabas Collins"
"You should give it to her."
"With the explanations that she is giving the authorities, it is better for her for it to be here. And who knows, one day it might be useful to us"
Barnabas paces on Widow's Hill. He is distraught because in his grief he was careless with the one he was feeding on, but managed to stop in time. He keeps seeing Jeremiah, Abigail, and Jason McGuire and knows that the potential for it is very much in him. J
osette appears to him to console him.
"But you did stop."
"One day I won't be able to. Maybe I should ask Willie, when he comes back to put an end to me."
"You know that Olajuwon will not allow it."
"Yes. Olajuwon needs to punish me... I wonder why he did not allow Lang to have his way with me. It would have been fitting."
"He might, but Lang had a couple of black men among his 'experiments' so he deserved punishment too. And if Lang killed you, as he would, Olajuwon would not be allowed to punish you anymore."
Barnabas sighs, knowing that his pain will go on.
Vicky receives a letter from Burke Devlin telling her that he is being put on probation, and has to prove himself. He asks her to forgive him for all the damage he did, and tells her to send Roger his good wishes.
She goes down to talk to Carolyn who is getting drunk.
"I know what you told David to do" she says.
"And?"
"And that I stopped you and Roger from murdering Elizabeth."
"And what will you do with that knowledge?"
"Barnabas also knows, and I know too that he has control of you, that he will not allow you to hurt me."
"It was never you. I just wanted to be free. Me and Roger...You have no idea what living under my mother's rule is like."
"You and Roger could move away."
"No, we could not."
"Well, try to solve your problems without killing anyone, please."
"Why don't you just give notice? Given David's history, no one would question you for leaving a student who tried to poison you."
"This place is convenient for me. And we may reach an understanding the three of us."
Barnabas talks to Maggie, telling her that his idea of opeining an inn might not be a good idea.
"I have this terrible rage inside of me, and it might be dangerous for the guests."
"Barnabas, if with what all you lost you did not go on a rampage, then you will not. Remember you only killed McGuire because he was hurting Willie. You do not kill wantonly."
"But..."
"An inn is a perfect set up for you. You do not have to go out to find blood. They come to you, and pay you besides. And they come back and bring friends. You can ask if they have any medical conditions, as you want to be prepared if there is an emergency. You got first responder training, you tell them, so you can handle emergencies. What you need to do is talk to Roger Collins."
"Why him?"
"Because you can make a deal that includes payments to him. He wants very much a source of income that does not depend on Elizabeth. You can be that. And he can then dump his cannery job, and go get drunk with Pops and paint, as he always wanted to."
"You seems quite easy with the idea of me feeding on tourists."
"We all feed on tourists one way or another."
Julia talks to her lawyer. He says that he can get probation for her, as in the end she stopped Lang.
"But you better start finding another career, because the one you have has just gone down the toilet."
He says that they are digging the grounds of Wyncliffe and finding secret graves.
"Probably homeless and drifters, that he used in experiments. You could not help identify them, could you?"
"There were things that were strictly off limits to me."
"And you never questioned it, of course. For an intelligent woman you could be very stupid , Miss Hoffman."
Barnabas meets with Josette who tells him that there is a bit of mercy coming their way. She points to a side of a hill, and he sees a secret door.
"Come in."
They enter and he finds himself in a strangely furnished room.
"It his room I can take physical form, and you are restored to humanity. Here at last we can make love."
