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.
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 how busted she's going to be by 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.

Story
Bloopers and continuity errors
- Julia has constant sniffling and flubs, "Barnabas, get Julia... get Maggie."
- When Maggie arrives and then 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" at first as something like "matrination" and then corrects it.
