595

Eve is brought to life.
== Synopsis ==
: The great house of Collinwood is shrouded in darkness, and a cold night wind seems to whisper secrets, ominous secrets. In the Old House on the great estate, a frightened man waits, not knowing what will happen next. If he knew, his fear would mount to terror, for he is about to be confronted by one the living dead.
Leona Eltridge arrives at the Old House to provide the life-force for Adam's mate. Leona tells Adam that she is a friend of Nicholas, but instructs him not to disclose that fact to anyone. She tells Professor Stokes that she was Eric Lang's girlfriend, and therefore knew about his experiment. She then says she has an incurable terminal illness that will cause her to die painfully, so she has no problems with the risk of participating in the experiment.
Stokes goes downstairs and tells the story to Barnabas, who doesn't really care because they have to do the experiment anyway. Stokes gets interested in the spelling of Leona's name, and leaves abruptly.
Back in the laboratory, Julia sets up for the experiment. She says she doesn't believe anything Leona says, but again, Barnabas doesn't care, because they have to go through with it anyway.
Adam and Leona come down and Leona straps in for the procedure. Julia tries to give Leona an injection for the pain, but Leona doesn't want it, and appears to welcome the idea of pain. Adam yells at everyone some more, and then the experiment begins.
After a lot of noise and lights, Leona screams and then goes limp/dead. Adam yells at everyone again for failing, and then Eve begins to moan. Adam uncovers her and starts shrieking "she's alive!"

* Leona's hairstyle in this episode does not match with the closing of yesterday's show.
* In Act I, as Adam leads Leona to the stairs, he bumps into Barnabas's cane, which is hanging on the coat rack. The cane rocks back and forth for the rest of the scene.
* When Leona lies down on the bed to rest, the camera shudders once and they switch to a second camera, which starts to move left and has to pan right to correct this.
* Robert Rodan messes the line, "You must be quite a good friend of his to be willing to go through with this to do this.”
* Right before Adam leaves Leona Eltridge in Josette's room, Erica Fitz steps on Robert Rodan's line. Fitz says "Good" at the same time Rodan says "I promise."
* At the beginning of the scene when Barnabas, Julia, and Professor Stokes discuss the night's events, Robert Rodan's shadow can be seen on the wall at the bottom of the stairs as he awaits his entrance into the scene from the stairway.
* The boom mic is briefly in picture as Barnabas goes over to Eve.
