Barnabas and Maggie scour the West Wing looking for signs of David. Barnabas discovers the secret panel in the wall and pries it open with a crowbar that Amy left behind (699). Barnabas and Maggie enter Quentin's room for the first time and begin exploring. Suddenly, they both turn their heads to the sound of approaching footsteps and comotion as Professor Stokes enters the room. Maggie brings him back to the Old House, but David is in a deep coma. Julia examines him, and deduces that Quentin is still in control of him. Unless something is done quickly, David will die by morning.
