Seward unlocks the basement door in someone's mansion and there he is, makeshift crosses made of twigs surrounding him. He's just glad to see sunlight at long last again once things are concluded. He even insists Seward and Mina walk away towards sunlight so he can just watch them before he departs by carriage.
Aww. I was almost wanting to watch it just for that and then you said the magic turn off words, Marc Warren. (I mean, it's unfair, Marc Warren is a good actor, but he was in everything at one time, and it was too much!)
As to Syphilis, I think it is possible you wouldn't automatically know you have congenital syphilis - you might have symptoms, you might not, you might have them but not necessarily know what the cause was (or be in denial about it). And it might depend exactly how long after it was contracted he was born as to how noticeable or not symptoms were. (I read up on it once, but it was a while ago.) That sounds kind of melodramatic in a v 21st C look-at-us-being-grim-and-historical kind of way, though!
I'll have to reword it in just a bit, most likely with exactly what you suggested. I'll blame a briefly dead post-migraine brain on the bad wording.
I'm pedantic and nitpicky, but it was worth mentioning because so is a good half of fandom! Heh. I'm glad you didn't mind, and I think that all looks pretty straightforward and clear and welcoming to me now!
ETA: Except for one bit of my own bad/hasty wording - I think "other than teasers" in the icon bit under cut for... rather than "beyond teasers" but I also have little brain today!!
