Recap
Henry Auden attends the funeral of his wife Margaret, but doesn't see the point in feeling any remorse. Instead he is relieved to be free of her.

Henry suggests that drink and leave so that he can get some rest, but Barbara accuses him of being eager to get rid of everything that belonged to Margaret, including her bell.

Episode Quotes
Host: Lest you be turned off by the dim light and somber mien of this place, let me reassure that there is nobody here but us art lovers. I'm your tour guide in a place designed to show you the beauty of the unexpected.

Because cats are and always have been Satan's familiars. Our painting title is She'll Be Company For You, and it's hung in this place we call the Night Gallery.
