Barry first mentions the abuse during his gun-wielding episode in "His Visit: Day One". John prophesies, "Room 24 will give up its dead, and its dead shall be forgiven." When Barry opens Room 24 in "His Visit: Day Two", he runs from the room, having seen Rollins' spirit. He tells Meyer and Ramon that Room 24 is haunted, and implies that the abuse occurred several times. Barry prays, "Please, God, help me live. I forgive Gilbert Rollins. I forgive Butchie Yost."
