Barnabas and Julia discuss what happened to Maggie.
"Someone like me, but who does not know how to control himself. I have to find him."
"Or her. And what will you do?"
"Talk him into being sensible. Or send him to you."
Julia sighs. "You want him to have the cure, or at least see if it works? "
"It would be a shame that you worked so hard for nothing."
Julia tells him of what Maggie decoded. It was an experiment in suppressing tissue rejection. Adam has been put together from thee different bodies, and treated so that those different tissues did not reject each other. The bodies were likely those of drifters, people that no one would miss.
"And Lang killed them for this experiment?"
"Yes.."
'He was a wicked man." Julia says that now she knows what ails Adam, and she can treat him. She cannot have the drugs, as they require prescriptions, but she can create them in her lab from different substances, all of them quite legal and over the counter..
David tells Carolyn about Rogere having a girlfriend in Collinwood. She poses for him, but then she kisses him. She is a beautiful blonde.
"And he told us nothing." Carolyn fumes.
Tom Jennings attacks another young villager, but is interrupted by Barnabas.
"Do not hurt her." he says.
"I have to."
"You have to feed. You do not have to hurt her."
"Oh, but I do, that is the whole point of it." he laughs.
"And there could be a cure for you, with Miss Hoffman."
Tom Jennings laughs again. "You do not undesrtand anything of what is going on, do you?" He releases the young woman and vanishes.
The next day Patterson calls upon Vicky about the attacks on Maggie and the other girl.
"I should have listened to him" he says, meaning Woodard. "He called me once to tell me that it had not ended, that there were new cases, but I was so mad because he had helped Haskell escape that I did not listen to what he had to say. And now he is dead..."
"And you think that he might have told me something?"
"He called me after that time you fainted.."
"I see." Vicky suspects that Barnabas might be losing control again, but she is constrained to protect him.
"He never told me anything about it... but... you rememer that he brought Peter Guthrie in?"
"Yes. A shame that he died, too."
"I can get the man who wokered closely with Gurthrie, Eliot Stokes. We have corresponeded. He can come look at it."
Patterson nods. "Yes, do that, please.
At night, Barnabas goes out to feed and to track Tom Jennings, but as soon as he is gone, Tom Jennings appears at the Old House and attacks Julia.
When Julia comes to, Tom Jennings tells her that he wants her cure.
"You want to be cured."
"Yes. I know how this game is being played, and I do not care to end up the fall guy. I want to get back to what is normal for me, and I want to get out of town before something hits the fan."
