== Background information and notes ==
=== Production ===
=== Story ===
* This episode marks the second time Barnabas bites Charity. (727, 738, 742, 756, 782)
* According to Barnabas, Laura has been dead for over 100 years.
* Barnabas is shocked that Laura looks like the original Laura Collins, although almost everyone he has encountered in this century resembles someone he knows in 1795 and in 1968. This would perhaps indicate that while the characters in this era are played by the same actors, they are not necessarily recognizable by Barnabas as resembling other characters.
* INTERNAL MONOLOGUE: Laura: I don't want to die.
* TIMELINE: Day 289 begins, and will end in 740. 3am: Jamison returns to Collinwood. It was earlier tonight when Worthington Hall was on fire (occurred in 735).
== Bloopers and continuity errors ==
* In the previous episode, Laura was collapsed on the floor when Dirk enters her room. He then carried her to her bed. In this episode, she is standing, walks to her bed, and then collapses.
* There is a yellow platform with what looks like a boom microphone or camera on it in the drawing room that seems to be hovering behind Quentin's head when he explains to Jamison that he didn't hurt Laura.
* When Barnabas asks Dirk if he would see that Charity gets to her room, Roger Davis bumps into the light stand near the main doors in the foyer, causing it to wobble about.
