Gerard bursts into the Old House in the middle of the day, looking for the secret room. To his amazement, Barnabas arrives. Gerard is certain Barnabas had assistance in ending the vampire curse, and Barnabas doesn't deny it. Valerie shows up and coyly taunts Gerard before he angrily leaves. Barnabas asks her what the price is for lifting the curse, and for once, Valerie says she has no demands and asks only for his love. Julia doesn't believe her and refuses to take her side. Upstairs in his room, the ghost of Daniel appears to Gabriel and tells him he is going to kill him.
