Notes & Trivia[]

Oddities[]

  • Bob Rooney brings Nelle Gunston a glass of wine, which is very considerate and more than a little presumptuous of him considering she never ordered anything.
  • Nobody really seems to care much whether or not Bob Rooney overhears their conversations at the Blue Whale. From this episode alone, he likely learned about the Leviathan cult, the Naga, Jeb Hawkes and the fact that Barnabas is a member.
  • For being an accomplished physician as well as a psychiatrist, it is odd that Julia Hoffman should mistake an obvious vampire bite for strangulation.
  • Considering that Nelle Gunston just arrived in Collinsport, she likely would have traveled by train, which would have let her off right in front of the Collinsport Inn. Why then would she go to the nearby Blue Whale to ask her questions, rather than the inn itself?

Allusions[]

  • Nelle Gunston makes several references to Bruno in this episode. Bruno discovered Nelle and introduced her to the ways of the cult. He was introduced in episode 942.

Quotes[]

....

  • Barnabas Collins: You are right. I am not one of you. But I shall show you what I am.

....

  • Barnabas Collins: There is one thing I must do tonight. I must go to Jeb. If he's going into that room in the antique shop and changes into his other form... that room is the only place he can change, and in that room he is the most dangerous form that ever existed. Well I will see that he will never change again!
