synopsis
Just before he dies, Barnabas (Jonathan Frid) tells the family that Victoria's 20th century book about the dire future of the Collins family is bogus, and that no matter what, he and Josette (Kathryn Leigh Scott) will someday by reunited. Seeing a bat flying through the house, Joshua (Louis Edmonds) figures it is best to fabricate a story about Jonathan going to England to die. This episode originally aired on January 18, 1968.
