As Jeremiah and Barnabas reluctantly prepare for their duel over the alleged betrayal, the other family members in this episode have varied reactions, as does Angelique who is petrified for what could happen to Barnabas. She has no control over this, and perhaps she realizes that she's gone too far. Josette pleads with Jeremiah to stop it while Angelique does the same with Barnabas. Andre tries to get the brothers to come to some sort of understanding, but it's too late as Jeremiah realizes that he has no explanation for why he ended up being married to Josette, not Barnabas. There's a scene between the two men, maybe uncle and nephew by blood but brothers in how they've grown up together. Jeremiah explains his point of view over what he perceives as witchcraft haunting him, but Barnabas doesn't believe it, something ironic considering what he will know in the future.
This is the first time we've seen this variation of Barnabas filled with too much pride to accept a loss, why and that makes him less safely and how he has been since these flashbacks began. Angelique is seen here being kinder as she's concerned about Josette, realizing that they both could lose in this, and you get to see a part of her that is filled with regret over what she is. The looks on Frid and Anthony George's faces as they prepare for the duel is filled with both regret and pride and anger, and it is presented in a slow, haunting way. This is where you get to see Josette's hatred towards Barnabas for the very first time, and you also get to see the regret of the victor in this duel as it means a twist in their life that is darker than anything they have ever imagined.
