The Season 1 finale sends Barnabas into town. In Dark Shadows episode 221, he walks into the Collinsport diner at closing time, charms Maggie Evans over coffee, and leaves his prized silver-headed cane behind, so she and Joe have to bring it up to the Old House. There are howling dogs, a girl attacked on the road, and Willie asking what Barnabas plans to do with her. Even Willie begs Emmy not to riff another one.
