Carolyn announces that she is going away for a few days; she later shows up at the Old House and tells Barnabas she is willing to be the life force for the experiment to create Adam a mate.
== Synopsis ==
: A cold moon illuminates the walls of Collinwood. There is terror in this night, for two women are in great danger; Victoria Winters has just been attacked by an unknown assailant, and, hidden away in the Collins mausoleum, Maggie Evans has come to a horrifying realization, one which may cost her her life.
Victoria is recovering from her attack, but is unable to say for certain whether it was Adam. Barnabas and Carolyn both speak in Adam's defense, which surprises Roger. Carolyn then shocks Roger further when she reveals that she is leaving right away for a trip to Boston. Roger is hurt by his niece's actions, but she leaves anyway. Barnabas is frightened of Carolyn's departure and the effect it will have on Adam, but as he arrives home, he finds Carolyn waiting for him. She tells Barnabas that she is willing to take part in the experiment. Willie tells Barnabas that Maggie remembers everything about him.

== Background information and notes ==
=== Production ===
=== Story ===
* Maggie alludes to the word 'vampire': "He is one of the living dead."
* INTERNAL MONOLOGUE: Barnabas: Why did Carolyn have to go away tonight? Later, Barnabas again: Adam convinced Carolyn to participate in the experiment?
* TIMELINE: This is the fifth consecutive episode of the long night sequence that started in 585. 10:50pm: Barnabas leaves Collinwood.
== Bloopers and continuity errors ==
* There is a loud clanking sound as Kathryn Leigh Scott begins her dialogue in the opening segment.
* In Act II, after Roger says "It's odd" to Carolyn and begins talking about Barnabas's behavior, someone coughs off-stage.
* When Barnabas leaves the main house, the grandfather clock shows it is 10:50pm, When he arrives at the Old House, the clock on the mantel shows the time as 5:33. Assuming that they keep the clock running (as evidenced in several episodes when the clock chimes the hour), it can be assumed that the difference between the two times is a continuity error as it doesn't take over six hours to get from the main house to the Old House.
* When Willie entered the secret room in the Collins mausoleum in the previous episode, he left the door open. In this episode, it is closed.
* When Carolyn tells Roger she is leaving for a few days, Louis Edmonds steps on Nancy Barrett's line. When Roger exclaims "You're planning to leave Collinwood," Carolyn at the same time finishes her line "to rest."
* As Carolyn puts on her coat in the hallway before she leaves, there is a boom mic maneuvering to her left.
* It takes only about five seconds for Carolyn to run out of the front door of Collinwood with a suitcase, throw her stuff in the car, get in the car, start the car, and speed away.
* At the very end of the episode, the close-up of Barnabas's face does not come into focus.
