Episode 1475

Aired: Friday February 17, 1972

After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Lori gasps at Quentin's portrait in the light of the full moon. Quentin holds her in place and says "Take a good look, doctor! Take a good look at what all your science can't explain away!" Lori loses her fear and says "The wolf...only aged...that's why it was painted! That's the strange reference Tate made to the portrait changing...." Lori pulls away from Quentin and looks through the dirty window. "The full moon. The portrait changes and not you. And when the moon sets...." Quentin throws the cloth over the picture and says "The portrait shows me as I really am. Or how I would be if the thing were never painted. Sometimes I wish it never was. You see, doctor, I was cursed a long time ago, cursed for some very stupid and reckless acts that destroyed people who were stupid enough to get close to me! Do you still want to risk it?" Lori walks to him and says "Yes." Quentin humphs and says "I don't know whether to be flattered or call you a fool." Lori answers "The portrait might have some effect on your appearance, but the curse is still in your blood, I'd stake my life on it!" Quentin tells her that's an interesting choice of words. "If I can isolate the element in your blood, I may be able to get rid of it. I don't know what kind of magic is at work with Tate's painting, but I do know I can purify your blood." Quentin thinks a moment and says "I'm not sure I'd want you to. What if messing around with my blood turns me into that thing on the canvas? Can you guarantee that?" Lori says no. "I'd... I'd thought the secret of immortality was in your blood. If it's in that portrait and the result of some strange powers that Tate had...I...I....don't know what to do." Quentin says "That's the smartest thing you've said tonight."

Angelique is in her room at the old house, wrapping her doll with Maggie's hair and Brian's handkerchief. She sits in front of the fire and says "Hear me, Maggie Evans. You are controlled by an unwelcome spirit....the spirit of someone who must return to the land of the dead....but while you are alive, you will feel uncontrollable attraction for the owner of this handkerchief...you, Maggie, will take control of your own body and spirit again, only to love the man whose handkerchief your essence touches....hear me, Brian Miller...you will respond when you touch the hair that matches the hair that touches your very essence here in my hands.....it is so!" We cut to Maggie in her room suddenly blinking and looking a bit woozy. She gets up and seems out of breath. She goes to the bay window and opens it, letting in a blast of cold air. "He's out there....I know he's out there..." she says. She grabs a shawl and hurriedly leaves the room. Maggie comes down the stairs and heads out the front door and begins to walk through the woods. "I am coming...I must...." we hear her think. Meanwhile at Rose Cottage, Brian is putting a book aside and turning out a light when there is a knock at the door. He wonders who it is, and opens the door to find Maggie. "Miss Evans, isn't it?" he says. She smiles and says "Yes. I felt like I had to see you tonight." He smiles and says "Then do come in." Back at the old house, Angelique hears some footsteps and hides the doll under the cushion she was sitting on. The door opens and it's Barnabas. "I've been thinking," he tells her. "About a lot of things. About my life and the decisions I've made, and about the past." Angelique stands and says nervously "And what have you decided now?" Barnabas tells her "I've decided I don't want to repeat my mistakes." He walks to her and kisses her, and she throws her arms around him, but in doing so, knocks the doll from under the cushion. She sees it, but he grabs it before she can say anything. He picks it up, horrified, and says "NO!"

Barnabas confronts Angelique with the doll. "What have you done? Tell me!" he commands. She gets defiant. "I haven't done anything to hurt anyone," she says. "How many times have I seen one of these dolls and the misery that follows?" Barnabas says. "I should destroy it..." Angelique stops him, yelling "No! Destroy it and you really will destroy Maggie Evans!" She takes it from Barnabas' hand and says "It's true, I did cast a spell. But only a spell to give Maggie Evans her life back! And to take the thought of Josette away from you!" Barnabas says "She was not in my thoughts!" Angelique snaps "Don't lie to me, Barnabas. I know you all too well." Barnabas takes the doll back and says "And do I know you that well? What kind of a spell was it? This isn't Maggie's handkerchief.... what have you done?" Angelique tries to be mysterious and answers "I gave her a new man to be interested in." Barnabas humphs. "Oh, Angelique, will you never learn? I come to vowing not to repeat my mistakes when you've already repeated one of yours" He walks to her. "A love spell," he says with a sneer. "I think back to Josette and Jeremiah. What happened to them? Did their love last, Angelique, did it?" Angelique turns away from him. "What about our love, Barnabas? Doesn't that concern you?" Barnabas angrily says "Who did you get this handkerchief from?" Angelique quips "Does that matter?" Barnabas snarls "I told you I felt responsible for what happened to Maggie. I don't want any more tragedies to feel responsible for. Now who's is it?" Angelique says "Brian Miller" defiantly. Barnabas wonders why. "Brian Miller? What on Earth made you choose him?" Angelique answers "What difference does it make? He's unmarried and seems to have a roving eye. The two of you might get along better than you think!" Barnabas says "I see no need for insults." Angelique says "It doesn't matter. Once she's distracted enough by him, her own personality should reassert itself and accomplish what is necessary. Getting rid of Josette!" Barnabas says "You still despise her memory that much?" Angelique says "It was no memory when I was out on that cliff, Barnabas." Angelique starts to break down as she describes the horrible vision she saw and how Maggie/Josette had tried to force her off the cliff. "You have no idea how horrible it was...." Barnabas meekly says "Actually, I do." He takes Angelique into his arms. "Why must we always fight? We both want the same thing, really. We both want to help Maggie." She kisses him.

Brian asks Maggie "So what do I owe the pleasure of your company, Miss Evans? Aren't you the governess for the Collinses?" Maggie says yes while examining some of the things around Brian's living room. "Then you work with David? He seems a bright boy," Brian says. "No, I work mostly with Sarah." Brian says "Sarah...that would be Barnabas' niece from England, wouldn't it? I think Carolyn mentioned her..." Maggie walks to Brian and says "Don't talk about Carolyn while I'm here, Brian. You don't want to make me jealous now, do you?" Brian is a little confused and says "Er, no I wouldn't want that." Maggie suddenly kisses him and he responds, but then pulls away and says "I'm not sure what to make of your....forwardness..." She laughs a little and kisses him again. His hand brushes over her hair, and then he pulls away, a little out of breath. He seems dizzy and says "What's happening...I feel different somehow...after I kissed you...." She remains fixated on him and moves towards him. He blinks a little and says "There's something at work here...and with you...." He reaches into his pocket and takes out a small packet. "I must....fight the urge I feel...." he says as he opens it and takes a pinch of something out before chewing it up. He gains a little composure afterwards and says "I was right...some sort of spell. But you will not be getting any of this very special herb, Maggie....I want some information." He kisses her hand and tells her to sit down. "Close your eyes, my dear. I have a surprise for you," he says. She does, and he takes out the small flashlight and shines it at her closed eyes. "When you open your eyes," he commands. "You will look at the light. You will concentrate upon it and put aside your feelings of passion." Maggie opens her eyes as Brian continues "You are fixated on the light because that is what I want you to do. Do you understand?" Maggie passively says "Yes." Brian sits next to her. "Good, good," he says. "I want to know exactly why you came over here tonight Miss Evans..." Maggie interrupts to say "That is my name, but is not my name. My name is Josette DuPres." Brian is confused. "Josette DuPres? Did you change your name for some reason?" Maggie says "Josette DuPres, beloved of Barnabas Collins." Brian raises an eyebrow. "Most interesting, my dear. Let's forget why you came over here for the moment." He shines the light into Maggie's eyes and smiles a sinister smile. "Let's start at the beginning," he says. "I want you to tell me everything you know about the Collins family." Maggie stares passively.

David Selby's voiceover: "The great house at Collinwood has a long history of the eerie and macabre. Dark and forbidding secrets are contained within its walls. On this night, a most terrifying secret of one member of the family will affect the course of events at the great estate, and will only in turn lead to more terror...."

Brian and David return to Collinwood and find Carolyn. Brian tells Carolyn that David will "work out just fine" in his research, and asks her if she wants to "go grab a quick bite." Carolyn says she's not that hungry "since a mystery is bothering her." Brian asks "Anything I can help with?" Carolyn thinks a moment, and then says "That depends. How much do you know about time?" Brian is interested.

After the titles, Carolyn and Brian are in the west wing. She opens the door that Vicky had shown her, and they look inside the room. Fearless, Brian enters and looks over the dusty junk inside. "She said the room was totally different?" he asks. "What a strange, strange thing." He notices the corner of a portrait on the wall is new and doesn't match the rest of the old dusty picture. "Fascinating..." he says. Carolyn pleads with him to "get of the room before something happens!" He hesitates a moment and then leaves. "I wonder.... what it would be like to find oneself in a different band of time. What if I met whoever I was in that universe?" Carolyn says she thinks the existence of it "has to do with Vicky, not you. I don't think it's a coincidence that she was the one who saw the glow, and then a portrait of herself." Brian agrees, and starts to wander the hall. "How many rooms are in this old abandoned part of the house?" he asks. Carolyn says "I've lost count. Quentin is the only one of us who lives up here, he restored his grandfather's old room, I think." Brian smiles. "Really?" He thinks a moment. "As long as you have your mother's key ring, I'd like to see some other rooms. I'm wondering if the same phenomena Miss Winters witnessed manifests itself in other places." Carolyn says okay, and they start down the hall. At one door, Brian and Carolyn are searching for which key when Quentin comes out of the door, and is shocked to see anyone there. "Quentin!" Carolyn says. "What are you doing in there?"

Quentin locks the door behind him and says "I was checking on some things. I use that part of the attic for....storage." Brian asks "Did you notice anything odd up there?" Quentin gets defensive. "No, there's nothing up there. What are you two doing anyway?" Carolyn says that they are investigating a strange phenomena Vicky saw in another West wing room. Quentin insists the West Wing is abandoned and "there's nothing of interest here. Nothing at all." Carolyn tells Quentin what Vicky saw in the other room, and Quentin stops to think a moment. "Like the east wing..." we hear him think. "What's your interest in this, Miller?" Brian smiles and says "I'm interested in any sort of strange scientific phenomena." Quentin tells him "Curiosity can be a dangerous habit, though, can't it?" Brian snickers. Carolyn tells Brian they should go to lunch. Quentin tells them "Good idea." After they leave, he goes to the room Vicky had looked into and doesn't see anything, but then notices the strange corner on the portrait. "What is that..." we hear him think. "Probably nothing...." He turns, and then sees a strange glow coming from under a different room's closed door. "That light...it wasn't there before...." he thinks. He goes to the door and tries the knob, but it doesn't open. The light suddenly vanishes. Quentin thinks "What is going on here?"

Downstairs, Angelique enters the house and goes upstairs. In the hallway, she checks to make sure no one has seen her, and then enters a room. She gets inside, and goes to the dresser. "What I need must be here...." she thinks. She picks up a hairbrush and takes some hairs from it. "Ah..." she says. "Something personal and precious....part of you, Maggie. Part of your body." She takes a small clay doll out of her handbag and puts the hair on it. "All I'll need to fight you...." she says, but stops when she hears voices and footsteps. She steps behind the door as Carolyn and Brian walk by. After they've passed, Angelique follows behind them carefully. Downstairs, Brian and Carolyn enter the drawing room and Carolyn puts the key ring back in the desk. Angelique sneaks downstairs and goes out the front door and then pretends to come in again as Carolyn and Brian see her. She says hello and asks if Maggie is around. Carolyn says she hasn't seen her. Brian asks "Who is this lovely lady?" as he sees Angelique. She introduces herself as Mrs. Barnabas Collins, and he kisses her hand saying "Then I can certainly appreciate the taste of Mr. Barnabas Collins." Carolyn cattily says "I thought I was your lunch date." Brian looks at her and says "Forgive my poor manners." Carolyn looks at him skeptically and says "Somehow I doubt you think of that as poor manners," before turning to Angelique and saying "He charms every girl he meets, I think." Angelique thinks about this as Brian says good-bye and leads Carolyn out. Suddenly, Angelique starts sneezing, and Brian asks her if she's all right. Angelique says "it must be some allergy. Do you have a handkerchief, though?" Brian reaches into his pocket and says "Here, please borrow mine." Angelique takes it and thanks him, and then Carolyn leads him out through the door. Angelique smiles as she holds the handkerchief. "He charms all the ladies, I'm sure, Carolyn. But now I know a lady that will charm him as well...."

Quentin is up in the attic looking at his portrait covered with a cloth. He looks out a dusty attic window at the full moon and says aloud "Chris....where might you be out there? I only hope you're safe..." He hears a door close and gets concerned. He moves quickly down the stairs and comes out in the west wing to find Lori. "I looked for you in your room and then I heard a noise this way," she says. He closes the door behind him and tells her "This part of the house hasn't been used in years. I was...just checking on some things in the attic for Carolyn." Lori asks him what things would those be, and he snaps "You always seem to have questions for me, doctor, don't you?" She looks at him coyly and says "Doctor? We're being so formal. Has my sister's return affected you?" He turns away from her and says "Perhaps it has. Perhaps I should have nothing to do with either of you." Lori says "You know you don't really feel that way." She reaches out and starts to caress him. "I know some of your secrets, Quentin...I want to know the rest." He turns and gives her a passionate kiss before pushing her away. "No, no! There are some things you shouldn't know! Ever!" She has gotten by him and has opened the door to the attic. "Such as what is up here?" He yells for her to stop, but before he can reach her, she has run up the attic stairs. In the attic, she looks around, and then sees the portrait on the easel as Quentin arrives. "Get away from that! Get away from this room!" he shouts. She looks over the cloth covering the painting. "This is it, isn't it? The portrait by Tate that I read about...." He grabs her and yanks her away from it. "Don't you understand? There are things about me you must never know!" He tries to push her away, but they wind up kissing again. "Show me that portrait, Quentin! I must know what Tate did to you if I am to help people with the science behind it!" Quentin laughs. "Science? You're crazy! Science had nothing to do with it, it was sorcery! It was a curse! A curse!" Lori replies "I don't believe in curses!" Quentin sneers "You don't, do you? Well then doctor, take a look at what you just kissed!" He pulls away the cloth, and Lori screams when she sees the painting - it's of a half-decayed and rotting white haired werewolf with one eyeball missing....

After a replay of Tuesday's close and the titles, David asks Brian what kind of work he's doing, and Brian answers "It will make more sense once you actually start working on it. Mostly working with different kinds of animal blood for....medicinal purposes." David says that he read that most medicines come from plants, not animals. Brian answers "Precisely why I want to look into some of the natural healing powers of the animal kingdom. I don't think Dr. Slater was doing similar research..." David says he wasn't sure what Lori was working on, since "all I really got to do was run errands for her. I was hoping to do more." Brian tells David "I'll give you more interesting things to do, trust me." David says "At least Quentin won't get mad at me for working with you." Brian says "Oh?" David says "I think he must have gotten into a fight with Dr. Slater over her sister or something. Don't tell anyone I told you that, though." Brian thinks it over and says "I'll keep your secret, David, don't worry." Carolyn comes downstairs and tells Brian she's ready for a "delicious dinner." Brian says he is as well, and escorts her out. David smiles and goes back into the drawing room.

Vicky is writing in her diary in her room as a storm rages outside. The wind blows the window open, and she gets up to close it. She sees the glowing light in the west wing room again. "There it is again..." she thinks. "The same locked room....what could be in there? Professor Stokes said it could be dangerous, but something tells me I must know...." In a flash of lightning, Vicky thinks she saw someone move in the window of the room as the light fades. "There's someone there!" she says aloud. "I know I saw someone!" She runs out of her room and heads to the west wing. In the west wing, she wanders down a cowbwebbed corridor and finds the door. In the dark corridor, she sees light coming through the keyhole. "This is the door....it was locked last time, but... there's a light coming from the keyhole..." she thinks. She tries the knob, and this time the door opens! The room is lit and fully furnished with beautiful antique furniture. "It's like Professor Stokes said," Vicky says aloud. "The room has been transformed to a different place and time....whenever this room was used, perhaps...." She's about to step inside, and then stops herself. "Perhaps I shouldn't...." she thinks. "Stokes seemed to think one could be trapped in there like the room in the east wing Barnabas described to me...but I wonder what this other world is? Is it the world of 1840 where Leticia Faye actually lived?" Vicky looks around the room, and sees a modern telephone. "No, it can't be...there's a phone on that table. It must be a modern time, and..." suddenly Vicky gasps as she looks at the room. On the wall is a large painted portrait - of her. She sees it and recognizes it as herself, but as she begins to take a step into the room, the door suddenly slams shut in her face. She struggles with the knob, but now it is locked. "Let me in!" she yells. "Let me in!"

The next morning, Vicky and Carolyn come down the same west wing corridor. "I don't care what Professor Stokes said about the room being dangerous," Vicky says. "I must know why my portrait was hanging on that wall!" Carolyn says "I'll help you look, Vicky, but I don't think we should go in there. It could be a completely different world going on inside that room if Stokes is right." Vicky says "At least it made for good conversation at breakfast." Carolyn starts trying the door with different keys on a large ring. "And to think I wanted to tell you all about my dinner with Brian Miller." Vicky says "He seems a mysterious man in some ways." Carolyn tries more keys and answers "What girl can resist that? One of my mother's keys to this old tomb must be the right one for this door..." Vicky wonders what kind of a world could be inside that room if her portrait is on the wall. "Who would have a painting of me done? Why put it up there?" Carolyn laughs and says "Maybe you're mistress of the Collinwood inside that room!" Suddenly the lock clicks. Carolyn smiles. "It's unlocked. Are you sure you want to see?" Vicky says yes, and Carolyn opens the door - and the room is dusty and deserted. Carolyn is disappointed, and Vicky says "Just like Stokes said...it could be like the room in the east wing." Carolyn says that they shouldn't enter it since it could change at any moment. "But the light transformed the desk in the basement...why didn't it do that here..." Vicky wonders. Suddenly, she points to the wall where her picture hung and says "Carolyn! Look!" Carolyn looks, and a corner of a large old dusty portrait of some old ancestor is new and bright. "That's it! That must be the portrait of me from that other time! Only part of it visible here! Look how the corner doesn't match the background color of the portrait hanging there now!" Carolyn sees it, and is amazed. "We should tell Stokes," Vicky says. "Or maybe Brian," Carolyn says. Vicky asks "Brian?" Carolyn says "Yes, Vicky. It's what I was telling you at breakfast. He's a fascinating man, and he's studied strange phenomena like this. Asking him would be, well, like getting a second opinion from a doctor." Vicky says "Perhaps....but I'm somehow more comfortable with Professor Stokes knowing the secrets of this house." We cut to Brian working in his lab when David enters. Brian asks him if he likes what he's seen so far," and David says yes. Brian tells David to sit down, and says "I have something else you might like." He takes out a small flashlight and turns on the beam. "Look at the light, David. Look at it very carefully..." David looks, and begins to go under hypnosis. "All you can see is the light, David. You will concentrate on its colors and spectra and only hear the sound of my voice. Do you understand?" David passively nods "Yes." Brian says "Excellent. Now, remember what I tell you, David. You will tell no one about any of the experiments we do here, do you understand?" David says yes. "And... you will tell me everything you know about Quentin Collins..." David stares passively at the light.

David stares at the light and tells Brian he thinks Quentin and Lori got in a fight over Joanna. "And what did you work on with Lori Slater" Brian asks. David says "Nothing. I don't know what she's working on." Brian asks "Can you think of anyone she may have told?" David says "I'm not sure. She might have told Chris." Brian gets very interested. "Chris? Chris Jennings?" David says "Yes, he was in Dr. Slater's lab." Brian snickers. "I thought so! But it seems Chris told you nothing. Onto bigger things, David. Where did Quentin Collins come from?" Brian asks. "I don't know," David says. "He's lived all over the world." Brian says "David, remember, you must tell me the truth. When was the first time you saw Quentin Collins?" Suddenly, David gets terrified and says "Quentin! Don't hurt me! I'll do what you say!" His voice sounds higher and younger, and more scared. "Why did Quentin want to hurt you?" Brian asks. "We weren't going to tell! We weren't going to tell anyone about the room!" David says. "What room?" Brian asks. "It was only a game...a game where we talked on the telephone. I didn't know he'd do those things! I didn't know! Beth! Beth! Help me!" Brian is confused. "Who is Beth?" he asks. David continues "I don't want to play the game anymore, Quentin! Leave me alone! You're dead! You're dead! I don't want to be dead with you!" Brian says "Quentin is dead? How can he be?" David says "Beth didn't want to do it, she had to...." Brian interrupts him. "The Quentin Collins at Collinwood now is alive, David! How can he be dead? Who is Beth?" David says "Not that Quentin, his grandfather. His grandfather's ghost! He looks just like him!" Brian thinks a moment "Does he...." David continues ranting until Brian commands him to look at the light. "David, you will forget everything you have told me about Quentin's ghost. I only want to know about the Quentin alive at Collinwood now." David immediately gains composure and says "I like him a lot." Brian thinks a moment and then says "David, on the count of three, you will wake up and remember nothing except coming into this room. Do you understand?" David says yes, and Brian counts three. David comes out of it, and Brian tells him "Well, as long as you're all set with your job here, why don't you accompany me back to Collinwood? Perhaps we can round some people up for lunch?" David smiles and says "You mean my cousin Carolyn, don't you?" Brian smiles and says "I can see that I'll keep no secrets from you, David, eh?" David smiles.

Episode 1472

Aired: Tuesday February 14, 1972

Nancy Barrett's voiceover: "Collinwood has always been a place of legends and mystery, no matter who lived here or when. A strange phenomena has been occurring in parts of the great estate, and the things it will lead to will change the lives of the people living here, as well as people no longer living...."

Vicky answers the door to Collinwood and lets Stokes in. He has an armload of books, which he says may "help to shed some light on the strange things you told me over the telephone." Carolyn comes out of the drawing room to say hello, and Stokes tells her "I may have some answers for you as well, Carolyn, as far as Leticia Faye is concerned." Carolyn looks interested.

After the titles, Vicky, Carolyn and Stokes are sitting in the drawing room discussing the strange things they have seen or dreamed. Stokes explains how dreams "can often be the subconscious memories of past lives manifesting themselves, or could be psychic messages. There's really no way to be absolutely sure." Carolyn asks why she would dream of living at Collinwood in the 1840s, and Stokes tells her how Leticia Faye is the main clue. "Leticia Faye was a carnival psychic performer at that time who married into the Collins family." Carolyn remarks how she had no idea her "prestigious family" had such a colorful background. Stokes tells her that the man she married, Desmond Collins, was not a direct ancestor of any of the family living in Maine today. "But the fact that she did live here, and during a time of some crisis in the family, may explain why her spirit may have left a presence here." Carolyn and Vicky ask what that struggle was, and Stokes says "It had to do with the original Quentin Collins, a struggle over the control of the estate, and accusations of witchcraft." Vicky gets uncomfortable at the mention of a witch trial, and Stokes apologizes. "Suffice to say that Quentin Collins went through the same false accusations you told me about, Miss Winters. He was cleared, as well as his cousin Desmond, who went on to marry Leticia Faye." Carolyn is pleased the story has a happy ending, but Stokes adds "That's what puzzles me. I don't understand as yet why the spirit of Miss Faye would invade your dreams. Why you? What could your connection with that woman possibly be?" Vicky mentions how they found her diary in the basement lab, and Stokes says that since it was once Quentin's lab, he must see the evidence of the strange phenomena Vicky described. They are about to head off for the basement when David walks in. He tells Carolyn and Vicky that he's heading into town, and Vicky says she'll talk about his science reading with him later. After David leaves, Stokes remarks on David's interest in the sciences, and Carolyn says "He's been working in Lori Slater's medical lab and really likes it." Stokes replies "Interesting..."

In the lab, Stokes is investigating the desk and how parts have been restored to new while others still look old and dusty. "And you saw a strange light cover the desk before this happened?" he asks. Vicky says yes, and tells Stokes that she saw the "same light in the West Wing. But when I went to see the room where the light was, the door was locked." Stokes looks concerned. "I'm not sure you'd want to open that door, Miss Winters, it could be very dangerous if what I'm thinking is correct." Vicky asks what he's thinking, and Stokes explains "Quentin Collins dabbled in breaking barriers through time itself in this laboratory, and was partially successful. Recent disturbances in time may have opened a rift of sorts, centered in this laboratory. That rift could be opening and closing in different places, affecting different parts of the house." Carolyn asks how that could restore an old desk, and Stokes says "Not quite restore, Carolyn, but return it to its original time. The light you saw may have caused parts of this desk to simultaneously exist in two different bands of time." Vicky says that's impossible, but Stokes says "Allow me to demonstrate." He picks up an old dusty and crumbling paper from one corner of the room. "This old piece of sheet music is from the early nineteenth century, existing in this poor condition here in 1972. If I'm correct, the reflection of light from the restored areas of the desk should have an interesting effect..." He passes the paper over the desk, and as it passes the restored part, it too looks new, crisp and sharp - and then changes again to looking old, yellowed and crumbled as he continues to pass it by the old and dusty part of the desk. Vicky and Carolyn gasp. Stokes sighs and says "Exactly as I thought. This desk hasn't really been restored. We're actually looking at it as it was over a hundred years ago." Vicky looks closer at it and says "So....if I had opened the door of the room where I saw the light...I'd see the room as it appeared then?" Stokes answers "Possibly. But with a phenomena like this, one never knows what one may see. You could have seen any possibility of time in that room, Miss Winters. Just like that room in the east wing that Barnabas discovered, an entirely different universe could exist in there now. It's good that the door was locked." Vicky thinks a moment and says "I'm not so sure about that, Professor." Carolyn asks Vicky what she means and Vicky answers "I can't explain it, really. Call it intuition of sorts. But something compelled me to see what was in that room." Stokes wonders why,

David knocks at the door of Lori's lab for a while before trying the knob and entering. He looks around and calls for her, but she's not there. He hears a sound, and when he follows it, is surprised to find Chris Jennings in one of the rooms. David runs to him and asks him how long he's been back, and where Amy is. Chris tells him that "I'm only visiting for a little while....I'll be heading back to Boston soon." David asks him how he knows Lori, and Chris lies that he had met her in Boston. David remarks how everyone would want to see Chris, and Chris lies again that "perhaps before I go back I'll stop by and say hello. But if you could do me a favor David, I'd like to keep it all a surprise." David says "A surprise?" Chris nods, and says "Don't tell anyone you saw me here just yet. The only other person besides Lori who knows is Julia. I.... I bumped into her in town." David says "This town is too small to keep those kinds of secrets in." David asks what time Lori will be back, and Chris says he's not sure. David says "Well, I thought she'd be here by now. I mean, it's after five already. Probably be dark soon, and..." Chris goes into a near panic and says "Near dark... David, you should really be getting on home. I'll tell Lori you were here." David wants to stop and leave Lori a note, but Chris gets more agitated and insistent that David leave. David doesn't understand it as Chris grows more angry and shoves David out the door before locking himself behind an iron door in the back of the lab. Outside, we hear David thinking "What's wrong with him? That was so weird, the way he acted.... it's like he's hiding something. I wonder if that's why Lori didn't want me around.....Lori and Chris...and Quentin was angry..." Suddenly, he thinks he knows. "Great," he says. "I'm in the middle of Quentin and Chris fighting over a girl." He walks away, and we see that Brian has been watching from the woods.

David arrives back home, and after a moment, there is a knock at the door. It's Brian, who tells David he came looking for Carolyn. "I don't know if she's around, I just got back," David answers. Brian says "Back from your job? I heard you were working with Dr. Slater." David grumbles "I don't know about that anymore. I don't think she wants me around now." Brian asks "Why is that?" David says he'd rather not go into it. "Nothing you did, I trust?" Brian says. David protests "No! I did great work! That medical stuff is very interesting to me." Brian smiles and says "I know how you feel. I think I was about your age when I started getting interested in it myself. Though, I don't know if you'd find my own research as interesting as hers." Carolyn comes downstairs and says hello. Brian kisses her hand, and says he was passing by and "took the chance you'd be here. I realized I had no dinner companion for this evening and I wondered if you were facing the same dilemma." Carolyn smiles and says "I might be." David asks Carolyn if Stokes was able to help her, and Carolyn says "He had a lot of new information on Leticia Faye, but I'm not sure what my connection to her is." Brian asks who Leticia Faye is, and Carolyn answers "A psychic who lived at Collinwood in 1840. And for some reason, she wrote my name in her diary." Brian gets very interested. "Fascinating..." he says. "Do you have any idea why that might be?" Carolyn answers "None." David tells Brian that Collinwood is "full of strange ghosts." Brian says "I don't doubt it." Carolyn says she'll only need a minute to go upstairs to get ready for dinner, and Brian says "I'm looking forward to it more now. I may be able to help you with Leticia Faye." Carolyn asks how, and Brian says "I have some experience in spiritualism. We can talk about it over dinner." Carolyn smiles and says "Sounds like good conversation." She goes upstairs as David heads towards the drawing room. Brian says "David, wait a moment. I haven't forgotten about you. I can tell you're upset that Dr. Slater no longer needs your assistance, but perhaps you can do some work for me, if you like." David smiles and says "Really?" Brian nods.

Episode 1471

Aired: Monday February 13, 1972

In a replay of Friday's close, Maggie has come upon Angelique at Widow's hill and is taunting her. Angelique shudders and says "Josette! You are still Josette! But that's impossible!" Maggie laughs and says "Impossible for you to destroy, that's all. I have come back, back to haunt you, and back to return Barnabas to his only true love, me!' Angelique shouts "No! That's not true! You shall never have him!" Angelique gets tougher and says "I still have my powers, and while I tried to erase you from Maggie Evans, now I shall destroy you both!" Maggie laughs and says "You have no power over me, don't you understand? But my spirit has powers...look, Angelique. Look in the clouds. Remember how you told me to look in the clouds? Look at them now....look at the face of my vengeance...." Angelique resists for a moment, but then looks into the clouds. The clouds swirl a bit with the waves crashing below as a figure begins to come into focus. Maggie begins to speak "Look into the clouds, handmaiden! Behold your fate! Will Barnabas love you when you look like this?" The figure sharpens into focus - it's Angelique, but her hair is ragged and tangled with seaweed - her face is horribly disfigured the way Josette's was, with an eyeball protruding and deep jagged gashes everywhere. Her jaw hangs almost loose and her arms, bent and twisted out of shape, seem to be reaching out towards the normal Angelique on the cliff's edge as the apparition lets out a horrible moan. Angelique screams "No! No! Get away from me!" She starts to lose her footing as we see the waves pounding below....Angelique slips a little as Maggie laughs....

After the titles, Angelique gets her footing back as the horrible vision hovers in front of her. Maggie laughs and tells Angelique how "you will look no better after your bashed and battered remains wash up on the beach, as I did..." Angelique turns away from the apparition and directly at Maggie with hatred in her eyes. "You will never destroy me!" she shouts as she raises her own hands and casts a spell. "Sprit begone!" she begins. "I command you to return to the grave where you belong! You will haunt me no longer!" Maggie weakens a bit, but then comes back stronger and seems to will Angelique closer to the edge. "I am too powerful for you now," Maggie says. Angelique tries to fight back, but sees that she cannot muster the strength. She steps aside and gets away from the edge, stepping back into the woods. The apparition vanishes, and Maggie calls out "You cannot escape your destiny Angelique! I will have my revenge, and I shall have Barnabas too!" Angelique runs into the woods in a near panic. As she runs, we hear her thinking. "How could this be? How could she resist my powers? How could she have them of her own?" Angelique stops to rest a moment. "It would be so easy to kill her...but then what could I tell Barnabas? He'd think of her as Maggie....he MUST think of her as Maggie Evans." A new realization comes over her. "What if Maggie Evans were to die, but the spirit of Josette were to go on?" she says aloud. "I must find a way to rid myself of Josette DuPres once and for all....I must!" Back at Collinwood, Quentin is avoiding explaining things to Joanna and Lori. Joanna asks him what "great mystery" is going on, and he and Lori only look at each other. Lori is about to say something when David walks in. Lori quickly changes the subject and tells David that she probably won't be needing him in the lab this week. David is disappointed and says that he's finding the work very interesting. This seems to annoy Quentin, who excuses himself and leaves the room. David notices Lori's reaction and thinks a moment.

A shaken (but not stirred) Angelique walks through the woods on her way back to the old house when she bumps into Julia. Angelique simply says "Excuse me," and tries to get by, but Julia notices her emotional state and says "Angelique, what happened?" Angelique says nothing, but Julia says "You look like you've been through a terrible fright." Angelique is surprised at her sympathy, and says "You actually care?" Julia says "I know you don't believe me when I tell you I'm no threat to you, but..." Angelique says "I haven't been very fair to you, have I?" She starts to walk around Julia. "I've never understood your friendship with Barnabas, why you are so devoted to him. When you arrived in 1840, traveling through time, you were expecting Barnabas to follow you, yet you pretended to be his sister and not his wife. I found that very interesting..." Julia cuts her off with "What are you getting at?" Angelique replies "You care for Barnabas, yet do not want to possess him. I'm not sure if that has to do with you, or if it has to do with you being raised in this century and not mine. But our differences may mean nothing at all if the angry spirit around us all is not banished to whence it came." Julia asks what Angelique means by "angry spirit," and Angelique says "Maggie Evans is possessed by Josette, and she just tried to kill me on Widow's Hill." Julia gasps, and says "Maggie! She's completely reverted to Josette! Just like Ba..." before she stops herself from revealing what Barnabas told her about his feelings for Josette. Angelique asks "What were you going to say?" Julia turns away and says "I meant, just like Barnabas had intended when he was first let out of his coffin in 1967... but he's a completely different person now!" Angelique says "I know. He loves me now, not her. I must find a way to get rid of Josette's spirit." Julia thinks a moment and says "Yes.... Josette must be eliminated if Barnabas is to be truly safe..." Surprised, Angelique says "So, at last we are on the same side!" Julia smiles and says "Yes, I suppose we are. But only because we have a common enemy." Angelique says "Perhaps. But we also have a common heart for Barnabas." Julia thinks that one over as we cut to the old house where Barnabas paces. He looks at his own portrait and thinks "What am I to do? In the same dilemma I was back on Martinique so long ago....and the wrong decision led to such misery.... but I cannot deny my love! I cannot!" Suddenly there is a knock at the door, and Barnabas walks to it saying "Angelique? Angelique?" He opens the door, and it's Maggie. "You!" he says, trembling. Maggie walks in and closes the door behind her, saying "Yes, me, Barnabas....my love...." before she throws her arms around him and they kiss.

David is still in the drawing room when Quentin returns. Quentin asks if Lori and Joanna have both gone, and when David says yes, Quentin remarks "Then it's safe for me to come in" and pours himself a drink. "I thought you liked them," David says. Quentin says he does, but then keeps himself from saying anything else. David starts to talk about how interesting Lori's work is, but Quentin cuts him off. "I'm not sure if I'm crazy about the idea of you working for her," he says. David asks why, and Quentin says "Well.... it just seems as if you could take interests in other things as well." David protests "I like science! Why should I waste time with things that don't interest me at all? You once told me that I'd have to learn about all sorts of things if I was going to travel the world like you." Quentin says "Yes, I guess I did tell you that. But I'm not sure why Lori wants you to help. I don't think she's interested in helping your scientific career ideas as much as she is about snooping into our family." David answers "If her father is married to my aunt Elizabeth, doesn't that make her part of the family?" Quentin answers "That's not what I meant. I don't think you should be so quick to trust her!" David snaps "Just because you don't trust her is no reason I shouldn't." Quentin tells David "I just don't think certain things should go outside the family, that's all. The wrong information in the wrong hands can be very dangerous...." Quentin stops himself from blabbing anything and takes another drink. Curious, David asks "What kind of family information?" Quentin says "Nothing. Forget I said anything." David says "What secrets are you talking about? What could they have to do with Lori?" Quentin angrily snaps "David, it's not your concern!" David angrily answers "How do I know it's not my concern if you won't tell me the truth?" He storms out of the room as Quentin calls after him to no avail. Quentin slams the doors of the drawing room and then thinks "David....I just don't know how I can tell you the secrets Lori has uncovered....no matter what Harrison told me about our future, I just don't know how to tell you who and what I really am...and how in another reality.....my ghost wanted to kill you...." Quentin gulps his drink.

Barnabas and Maggie are still embraced when a sound of footsteps approaches. Barnabas panics and says "Angelique! She's returned! You must leave immediately!" Maggie clings to him and says "Let her see us together! She cannot harm us!' Barnabas says gravely "You have no idea how wrong you are...." The steps approach the door, and Barnabas says "Get upstairs, quickly!" Maggie gives him a loving look and runs upstairs right before the door opens. Angelique and Julia come in. Angelique runs to Barnabas and hugs him. He takes a moment to respond, but does. She tells him she's been through "a horrible fright." Curious, he asks what happened. Julia answers "Maggie Evans tried to kill her." Shocked, Barnabas says "What? How?" Angelique says "She's possessed, Barnabas! Possessed! Something Nicholas Blair did to her as a last attempt to destroy us! She is possessed by the spirit of Josette!" Feigning innocence, Barnabas says "Really? How do you know this?" Angelique answers "Barnabas, she tried to kill me! And things she said to me were things only Josette would know!" Julia asks Barnabas if he's seen Maggie, and Barnabas doesn't answer. Only then does Julia see that Maggie dropped a handkerchief on the stairway, and Julia says "I....I need to go upstairs for a moment." She picks up the handkerchief and runs upstairs as Barnabas agonizes "Whatever happened to that girl is all my fault. What kind of happiness could I deserve after destroying so many?" Angelique says "If that's how you feel, you must include me in that as well. I made you into that destroyer." Barnabas answers "That's not what I said." Angelique hugs him again and says "Hold me, Barnabas! Hold me and tell me I'm the only one for you! Tell me you can forgive me!" Barnabas starts to speak, but hesitates, just long enough for Angelique to look at him, horrified. "You can't....something has changed you....." She suddenly pushes him away. "You've been with her! I can tell! You've been with her and you want your precious Josette back!" Barnabas answers "No! That's not true!" Angelique angrily snarls "You will never have her, Barnabas! NEVER!" Angelique storms out of the house as Barnabas frets. Julia comes back downstairs and looks condescendingly at Barnabas. "Angelique knows, doesn't she?" Barnabas nods, and says "And that cannot be good for any of us." Julia shrugs and says "For any of us or for you? By the way, Maggie is gone, she must have left by the back stairway to the old servant's quarters." Barnabas looks at Julia surprised, and Julia continues "She dropped her handkerchief on the way upstairs before Angelique and I arrived, and the scent of her perfume was still in the air. You used to be much better at keeping secrets, Barnabas." Barnabas humphs and says "I also used to be better at keeping them from myself, it seems." He and Julia look at each other.

Episode 1470

Aired: Friday February 10, 1972

After a repeat of Thursday's close and the titles, Chris tries to step away from Julia when she tells him he needs to tell Barnabas where he is. "Neither of you can help me, you've tried in the past," he says. "I'm grateful for that, but nothing worked. I had to get away from here." Julia asks him why he's back, and he says it wasn't his idea. "You attacked me last night, that's how we knew you were back," Julia says. Chris says "You've got to trust me, Julia. I think I may have found another friend here. I can't tell you about any of it now, but you've got to trust me. I know I won't be attacking anyone again if I let them help me." Julia insists that Barnabas know where Chris is, but Chris tells Julia she should "stay out of my problems this time. I've got to go!" He runs off as she yells for him to come back. At the old house, Angelique answers a knock at the door, and isn't thrilled to see it's Julia. "What is it?" Angelique says. Julia says she needs to see Barnabas. Angelique tells Julia that there's no reason for her to see Barnabas, "since whatever it is, I can handle it." Julia scowls and says "this has nothing to do with you." Barnabas steps over and asks what's going on. Julia tells Barnabas that she just saw Chris Jennings. "You did?" he says, interested. "Come in, please. Tell me more." Angelique gets annoyed and says she's going out for a walk. Barnabas asks her if she'd rather listen to more about Chris, since perhaps she could help him. "I don't know him at all," Angelique says. "I'll leave it to you and Julia." She humphs and leaves the house.

Julia has told Barnabas about seeing Chris. He wonders who the mysterious friend is, and "if this friend is so powerful, why was he running loose last night? He could have killed someone, and nearly did you and Lori Slater!" Julia remarks on Lori's interest in Collins family history and Quentin especially. Barnabas says "What could her motives be?" Julia says "Well, with Quentin, they might be romantic to some degree. But I can't help thinking that she was drawn to him after gathering those clues as to his secrets." Barnabas nods, and says "I suppose for a woman like her interested in science, such a man would be especially fascinating and alluring." After he says this, Julia gives him a smile, but he turns away nervously. She changes the subject. "Angelique seemed upset... is everything all right?" Barnabas says "Yes," but Julia doesn't believe him. There's knock at the door, and it's Maggie. "Hello, Julia," she says. "I left my bag here, like an idiot! I just need to run upstairs and get it." She runs upstairs as Barnabas watches uneasily. Julia remarks how Maggie seems "back to normal," and Barnabas says "Not quite. She's fine now, but I don't understand what happened last night..." Julia asks if Maggie had "another relapse." Barnabas says "You could call it that. But I'm so worried about this one, Julia." He walks to her and takes her hand. "I'm so glad you've stayed on at Collinwood. I don't know what I would do without you." Julia starts to look hopeful and grabs onto Barnabas' hand tighter, saying "You....you know I could never leave here or leave you..." Barnabas drops her hand and says "Angelique wanted to leave here, and I might have agreed in another time, but not now, not now. Not when my heart is being torn apart." Julia says "Barnabas, we could find a way to work these things out..." but her hopes are dashed when Barnabas adds "Julia, Maggie became Josette last night! It was her! Not just some reincarnation or some madness, but her!" Julia says "What are you talking about?" Barnabas says "She appeared to me last night, in Josette's room. In her wedding dress. She offered me her love once again....and when I could stand it no more, I gave in and kissed her. I haven't felt such a kiss in almost two hundred years...that's how I know it was her. All my feelings for her, all my passions have returned! And now Maggie is Maggie again...Julia I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do! I know I'm married to Angelique and I do love her, but I also....I also still love Josette." Julia turns away, crushed. "I...I...don't know what to say." she murmurs.

Chris arrives at Lori's laboratory and tries the door. It opens, and Lori is waiting inside for him. "Welcome," she says. "No one saw you, I trust." Chris says "No, no one important anyway. So, I see you have your own rival laboratory set up here. I never knew Collinwood was such a growth market for mad scientists." Lori smiles and says "Brian fell for our ruse. He thinks you escaped and I'm out looking for you. He knows about this lab, but what he doesn't know about is the basement. Come on." She leads him down into the basement, and tells him how the room is completely locked, sealed and soundproof. "There's also another exit over there, which leads to a fruit cellar of sorts with another door outwards. You should use it from now on so no one will know you're here. But leave the key with me before nightfall so you'll stay in here and avoid harm." Chris asks her if she's sure he won't get out of there when "I become that monster." Lori assures him, and tells him that she may soon have some sort of treatment based on what she discovered in his blood. She adds "There's another piece of the puzzle I need to check on, however." and we cut to Quentin, having a drink in the drawing room. There's a knock at the door, and it's Joanna, who asks Quentin if he missed her while she was in Boston. "Quite a bit, actually," he says with a kiss. Joanna asks him if he's heard anything from her father and Elizabeth, and Quentin says "We got a card today from Rome. It seems they're making extra wishes throwing coins in the fountains." Joanna remarks on what a wonderful time they must be having, and Quentin says "I'm happy for my cousin Elizabeth. She's spent most of her life cooped up in this house. She ought to get out and see the world. It can be a wonderful place sometimes." There's another knock at the door, and this time it's Lori. She sees Quentin with Joanna, and asks her sister how Boston was. "I'd like to speak to Quentin alone for a moment, if you don't mind." Quentin says he minds, and Lori snaps "You might not want my sister to hear what I have to say." Joanna asks what's going on, and Lori says "Just a private business arrangement between Quentin and myself." Joanna glares at Lori and says "I'm not a child, Lori. You don't have to look after me." Lori takes Joanna aside and says "You don't know enough about Quentin Collins, dear sister. Trust me." Quentin tells Lori she ought to leave. Lori says point blank "How did you know what to do last night and what do you know about a man named Chris Jennings?" Quentin has no answer, and turns away from a confused Joanna.

Maggie comes downstairs in the old house where Barnabas and Julia are. She sees Barnabas is upset and asks him what is wrong. He says "Nothing....Maggie." Maggie apologizes and says she doesn't mean to intrude, though she has noticed Angelique and Barnabas arguing. "I...hope you can work this out," she awkwardly says before leaving. Julia says "She seems perfectly normal. Are you sure about what you told me?" Barnabas nods and says "I've never been more sure of anything in my life. I don't know why she's acting the way she is now when I know she is really Josette!" He looks out the window as we cut to Angelique walking in the woods. She comes out by some rocks and stops to rest. "I shouldn't be jealous of Julia..." we hear her think. "But there's something else going on with Barnabas, I can tell.... something he's not telling me...." She changes her expression. "Stop it... oh, stop it! This is how you used to behave...always suspicious, always jealous. Barnabas could keep no secrets from me.... I wonder if he was right....about the powers I was left with after our battles with Nicholas...are they corrupting my heart?" Suddenly her thoughts are interrupted by Maggie's "Hello, I didn't mean to startle you." Angelique says it's okay, and she was only thinking. "Thinking about Barnabas?" Maggie asks. Surprised, Angelique says. "I don't know what you mean by that." Maggie says "I don't mean to pry, but he seemed a little upset before I left the house. I've also heard you arguing. Sometimes it's nice to have a girlfriend to talk to." Angelique had been angry, but now seems disarmed. "I'm sure it's nothing. There's been some stressful things lately." Maggie looks out at the waves. "Oh? I suppose looking out at the ocean calms you?" Angelique says "Perhaps. Didn't your father find the sea soothing? Barnabas told me how he loved to paint such things." Maggie smiles at Angelique. "My father?" she says. "You don't remember him?" Angelique says no, she's never met him. Maggie laughs. "Of course you have, you used to work for him, remember? But that was long ago, so long ago. And look at you, still beautiful, aren't you Angelique? Do you manage to keep that beauty through your spells?" Angelique steps away and says "What are you talking about?" Maggie glares at Angelique. "You know exactly what I speak of, handmaiden. Look at me now, look at my face. Isn't it the face you always hated because Barnabas loved it so much?" Angelique shudders and says "Josette! You are still Josette! But that's impossible!" Maggie laughs and says "Impossible for you to destroy, that's all. I have come back, back to haunt you, and back to return Barnabas to his only true love, me!' Angelique shouts "No! That's not true! You shall never have him!" Angelique gets tougher and says "I still have my powers, and while I tried to erase you from Maggie Evans, now I shall destroy you both!" Maggie laughs and says "You have no power over me, don't you understand? But my spirit has powers...look, Angelique. Look in the clouds. Remember how you told me to look in the clouds? Look at them now....look at the face of my vengeance...." Angelique resists for a moment, but then looks into the clouds. The clouds swirl a bit with the waves crashing below as a figure begins to come into focus. Maggie begins to speak "Look into the clouds, handmaiden! Behold your fate! Will Barnabas love you when you look like this?" The figure sharpens into focus - it's Angelique, but her hair is ragged and tangled with seaweed - her face is horribly disfigured the way Josette's was, with an eyeball protruding and deep jagged gashes everywhere. Her jaw hangs almost loose and her arms, bent and twisted out of shape, seem to be reaching out towards the normal Angelique on the cliff's edge as the apparition lets out a horrible moan. Angelique screams "No! No! Get away from me!" She starts to lose her footing as we see the waves pounding below....Angelique slips a little as Maggie laughs....

Episode 1469

Aired: Thursday February 9, 1972

Alexandra Moltke's voiceover: "My name is Victoria Winters. My life has taken strange and twisted turns since coming to Collinwood. On this night I have made a strange and terrifying discovery in an abandoned laboratory in the basement of the great house. And soon, other ghosts of the past will soon rise to the surface, creating more mysteries than answers...."

Vicky looks at the noose on the floor of the lab before picking it up and examining it. "I know I saw that light before this appeared here..." we hear her think. "What could it mean? This can't be the same rope they once tried to hang me with... it can't!" She looks around. "What kind of things were done in this laboratory? Why was that diary here for Carolyn to find?" Suddenly, she remembers. "The light... it was the same light I saw in the West wing window!" she says out loud. "There might be an answer in the West wing!"

After the titles, Vicky enters the West wing from the main hallway and begins to search around. She passes Quentin's room and moves on towards areas of the wing still dark and unused. "I think the light must have come from this room," she says, but the door is locked. She hears some voices in the distance and asks who is there. Further down the hallway, Julia and Quentin have just locked the door that leads to the attic. "There's no way that Lori could ever find it up there," Julia says. Quentin agrees, but says "I can't help but be very paranoid about that portrait. It wouldn't be the first time someone has tried to use it to destroy me." They hear Vicky calling, and Julia calls back. "Vicky? Is that you?" The three meet up. Julia asks Vicky why she is in the west wing, and Vicky says "It's a long story. What are you doing back here?" Julia looks at Quentin and then lies "We were looking for a book, that's all. What's your long story?" Vicky shows Julia the noose. "It starts with this," she says. Julia asks where she got it, and Vicky says that the rope "suddenly appeared out of nowhere" in the downstairs laboratory. "The lab?" Quentin says. "Why were you down there?" Vicky says "More of the long story." Julia says "Tell us on the way down there. I want to see exactly where this rope appeared." They leave. Meanwhile, Chris sits in Miller's cell as Lori and Miller look over some experiments. Lori says she'll need more time to work with the blood. Miller tells her he needs to head into town for some things and asks her if she'll be all right alone. She says she will, and cannot leave her work right now anyway. Miller leaves as Chris grumbles. Lori waits a moment and makes sure Miller is gone before approaching Chris. "I needed to wait for him to leave," Lori says. Chris sneers "Why, so you could study the freak all on your own?" Lori says "No, Mr. Jennings. So I could help you." Chris is interested.

At Collinwood, Julia, Quentin and Vicky are in the lab. Vicky shows them where the rope appeared and describes the light she saw. Quentin examines the green curtain as well as the desk. "Something has been restoring these things... they're like new, but only parts of them." Vicky asks what could cause something like that, and Quentin says "This room has always been connected to warps in time. My guess is that has something to do with this." Julia says that "the original Quentin Collins experimented with a staircase through time...its remains are behind that old curtain. Perhaps there are still open doorways in here that lead into the past at random places." Vicky says there was nothing random about the rope. "Of all the things in the past, why would it give me the very rope I was nearly hung with?" Julia says that Vicky can't be sure it's the same rope. Vicky answers "I don't believe in coincidences anymore after moving here." Quentin laughs a little and says "I'll agree with that!" Vicky says that she and Carolyn had come to the lab because of one of Carolyn's dreams, and that they found a diary of someone in the past named Leticia Faye. Julia gasps at the name. "Where is Carolyn now? I need to see that diary!" Vicky says she's in the drawing room. We cut to Carolyn reading the diary in the drawing room when Quentin, Vicky and Julia enter. Julia tells Carolyn "Carolyn, can I see that diary? I think I can tell you more about Leticia Faye." Carolyn wonders how Julia knows as we cut back to Lori and Chris. Chris tells Lori "That's crazy!" Lori says "It's your only chance. Brian will never let you out of here once he has what he needs from you. You must let me look after things, let me study you. I may be able to help you. I've already identified some strange element in your blood. I won't tell Brian about it." Chris thinks a moment. "This lock has been fixed." Lori smiles. "You let me take care of everything." She hands him a paper. "You'll still need to be restrained at night while the moon is full. Go to this address. I'll meet you there before sundown." Chris says he isn't sure if it will work. "Just wait for Brian to get back here," Lori says. "And remember to do exactly everything I said."

Julia tells Carolyn all about Leticia Faye, claiming her knowledge comes from "her other research of the Collins family." Carolyn looks at the diary and says "She must have really had psychic powers, Julia, how else could she write my name in a diary more than a hundred years ago?" Julia says she doesn't know. Vicky asks if maybe the same thing that restored the desk and the curtain and left the rope behind might have something to do with the diary. "Perhaps," Julia says. Carolyn suggests they tell Professor Stokes about it all. "We'll need to tell him about the West wing as well," Vicky says. Quentin asks why, and Vicky says she saw a light similar to the one in the lab in a West wing window. "But when I went to that room, it was locked. There might be more clues in there if we can get inside." Quentin says that "Other than my room, the rest of the West wing is empty." Julia says "But if some sort of phenomena coming out of that lab is affecting it...." Carolyn gets on the phone to call Stokes, but there's no answer. Julia says that he must be teaching during the day. "I need to head into town anyway," she says. "I'll stop by the university and see if I can find him." She gets her coat.

Miller returns as Lori continues to work with the laboratory equipment. Chris looks to be asleep. Miller asks Lori how he's been behaving, and Lori says "He's been sleeping, mostly. Not surprising considering what his body goes through during the night." Miller looks him over. "Such an amazing stroke of luck to find him," Miller says. "Who would have ever thought that such a creature could actually exist?" Lori says "He's not a creature, really. He's a man." Miller laughs. "A typical woman's response. Why don't you mother him while you're at it?" Lori takes a needle and says "I'll need to get more blood from him. This would be a good time, while he's out." Miller picks up the tranquilizer gun. "You can never been too sure." Lori says "Oh, Brian, you're being so protective. Do I bring out the mother in you?" He smirks and takes the key from his pocket. Lori shows him a second needle she has. "I already prepared this one with sedative," she says. "I'm not about to take any chances." Miller smiles. "I underestimated you, my dear," and starts to unlock the cell. Lori enters with both needles and leans over Chris. He opens one eye and she smiles at him. Lori leans over Chris while Miller watches, but suddenly Chris leaps up and throws Lori aside. He's grabbed the needled filled with sedative and lunges at Miller before he can grab the gun. Chris jams the needle into Miller's arm while Lori screams "Brian! Stop him!" Miller pulls the needle from his arm, but reels before he can get to the gun. Chris gives Lori a last look before running out. Lori feigns more shouting. "Brian! Brian! Get up! He's getting away!" Lori grabs the gun before Brian passes out and says "I'll get him back." Once Brian passes out, Lori laughs a little and takes her time leaving. Outside, Chris is running through the woods. He stops for a moment to check the paper Lori gave him and reads the address aloud. He decides to head in that direction, but as soon as he turns and takes a step he runs smack into Julia. "Chris!" she says. "Chris Jennings! Oh, thank God, you're all right!" He's not too thrilled to see her.

Aired: Wednesday February 8, 1972

After a replay of Tuesday's close and the titles, Miller holds the gun on Chris while telling Lori to back off. "This man tried to rob me last night," Miller lies. "I plan to take him to the police." Lori answers "That's impossible, Brian. This man was with me all last night. If you take him to the police, I'll provide him with an alibi." Miller gets angry and tells Lori "not to involve yourself in my business." Lori tells Miller "it may be too late for that." Chris remarks "Why am I not surprised that you two know each other?" Lori asks Miller point-blank "Tell me everything you know about this man, Brian. I know you're not taking him to the police. We both know he's far too valuable for that. And I recognize what kind of a gun that is." Miller sneers and says "Always too clever for your own good, Lori, aren't you? It's too bad we never gave ourselves a chance, in a way...." Lori snaps "Don't bring that up. Where are you taking him? Back to that cozy little cottage you conned Roger Collins out of?" Miller tells her she's quite perceptive. "Face it, Brian. You need me on this one. I'm the only one who can analyze this man's blood to find out what we both want to know about him." Miller tells Lori "He's mine. I found him, and he's mine!" Chris yells "I'm not anyone's possession! You're both crazy!" Lori answers "You'd be crazy not to cooperate with us. You're a danger to others and yourself if you're running around at night after you transform." She starts to walk around Chris, fascinated. "An actual case of lycanthropy...I've read legends about people like you. I could find out things about you that would be indispensable to modern medicine!" Miller laughs. "It's too late now, Mr. Jennings. You've piqued her curiosity. I've seen this before, believe me." Lori looks over to Miller. "So, this was your reason for abandoning the university. They'd have thought you insane. But we both know better. Mr. Jennings, is it? Mr. Jennings, you may just have the secret to immortality flowing through your veins..." Chris looks at Lori and says "All I've got running through my veins is agony." There's a sound of footsteps in the brush. Miller gets concerned and says "We need to take him out of here before anyone else comes along. Help me, Lori. And I'll tell you everything." Lori smiles and says "We have a bargain." She helps Miller lead Chris away quickly. Shortly after that, Barnabas turns up, searching. "I thought I heard voices this way, perhaps I was wrong..." He is about to leave, when he notices a scrap of Chris' clothing on the ground. He picks it up and sighs in frustration.

Angelique paces in the old house living room. Barnabas enters, and she angrily demands to know where he's been all night. "A long story," he says. "I'm very tired." She turns away from him. "You were acting very strangely last night. After you left here....were you alone?" He is confused by this. "What are you talking about?" Angelique says "Nothing, nothing. I'm just upset." Barnabas says "We promised to keep no secrets from each other. I was out looking for an old friend. Someone I felt a strange sort of obligation towards." Angelique asks "Who?" Barnabas answers "A man named Chris Jennings. I'll tell you why." We cut to Chris being locked back in Miller's cage as Lori looks over some of Miller's notes. "He hasn't told me anything of his history. He claims this started happening to him for no reason once he passed the age of twenty one." Chris protests that he told the truth. Lori says "that may be true, though everything I read about werewolves would mean that he was either bitten by a werewolf and survived, or had a curse put upon him somehow." She asks Chris if anyone ever put a curse on him, and Chris sarcastically answers "It certainly feels that way." Miller tells Lori "I've taken some blood samples you may find interesting." He takes her outside the cell and closes the metal door. Upstairs, she looks over some of his other notes and says "You haven't done the tests I would have done." He answers "Exactly. You could discover things in days that would take me months. I'll allow you that privilege if you...." Lori says "Ah, here it is. The price." Miller says "Of course, the price. One that I think you'll be willing to pay since it doesn't really involve money." Lori sneers "Don't think for a moment it will involve love." Miller laughs. "That depends. How do you feel about Quentin Collins?" Lori is unpleasantly surprised by this remark. "I want to know everything you've found out about him." She doesn't answer.

Angelique has just heard the entire Chris story. "So...that was the reason for those awful sounds." Barnabas answers "Yes. And he attacked Julia last night, as well as Lori Slater. I'm not sure what Miss Slater's reaction was, Quentin was seeing to her. But Julia knows all about this." Angelique sneers "Another reason for good Dr. Hoffman to remain at Collinwood." Barnabas tells Angelique that Julia had tried to find some sort of cure for Chris. "I'm not surprised, given her endless fascination with you," Angelique jealously answers. "But why do you care about this man? He has nothing to do with you." Barnabas says he felt empathy for Chris' condition. "Oh Barnabas! This whole place is filled with nothing but sorrows and memories of supernatural evils! All night I was thinking how much simpler things could be, for both of us. We could leave here." Barnabas is amazed. "Leave here? This.... this is our home!" Angelique says "We could go somewhere else. To Boston, or New York. We could travel. I so want to see more of the world in this time. Why stay here, where all our problems have been? Even our time in Martinique was simpler than this." Barnabas mutters on about his "home" and how he "never thought he could leave Collinwood." Angelique says "We should leave, and leave all of this behind!" Barnabas protests "But I can't leave now! Not now when I know Chris is out there, somewhere, suffering from a condition that I could not help him with before! I can't fail him again! I can't!" Angelique asks "What about failing me, Barnabas? What of that?" Barnabas tells her she's over-reacting, when there's a knock at the door. He answers it as Angelique humphs. When he opens the door, he gasps. "Maggie!" He stammers a bit as Maggie enters. "Good morning, I hope I didn't interrupt anything. I came here to take Sarah into town." Barnabas nervously says "Oh, er yes....she's upstairs." Maggie looks at Barnabas and asks "Is anything wrong?" He looks back at her and says "No. Nothing. Just tired, that's all." Maggie says "Well, I'll get Sarah out of here so you can get some rest." Maggie runs upstairs as Angelique wonders about Barnabas' reaction to her.

Julia and Quentin have been talking over coffee at Collinwood. Julia asks Quentin how much he thinks Lori knows about him. "She thinks she knows it all," he says. "She found an old journal by Tate, who evidently liked to brag about his achievements." Julia says that perhaps Lori would dismiss it all as the rantings of a madman. "Dr. Slater seems convinced that I'm the owner of a Tate portrait with mysterious qualities that keep me alive. I'd say she's a very good detective." Julia asks Quentin what he's going to do about it. "I'm not sure," he says. "Her interest in me might actually be genuine. I wonder about her motives." Julia says "I can understand a scientist wanting to understand about the supernatural." Quentin laughs a little. "As well as develop a fascination for a member of my insane family. Perhaps you and Lori Slater ought to start a mutual Collins appreciation society." Julia remarks how Lori seemed to be interested in her own history with the family as well. "Do you think Alan is involved in any of this?" Quentin says "You're not suggesting he married into this family to assist some sort of weird research...." Julia says "No, no. Not with his past history with Elizabeth. I just wonder if he knows what his daughter really does." In the basement lab, Carolyn shows Vicky where she found the book in the desk. Vicky looks around the lab and says "I remember this place...I remember being here." Carolyn notices the partially restored curtain and says "Look at this! This wasn't like this before!" Vicky asks her what she means, and Carolyn says that when she was there the previous night, the curtain was ragged and old. "Parts of it still are," Vicky answers. "Perhaps this part that's still in good shape was hidden from view." Carolyn says maybe, but then points out the desk is also an odd mix of old and new. Vicky remarks how strange a room it all is, and how "the original Quentin Collins must have been some sort of mad genius." Carolyn says she's going to go upstairs to wait for Stokes to arrive. Vicky says she'll look around the lab a little and then meet her. After Carolyn leaves, Vicky looks around for a moment. Suddenly, the glow returns in the middle of the room and Vicky sees it. She walks towards it slowly, and says "What...what is that? It's somehow familiar...." She reaches out towards the light, and then blinks a little as it vanishes. She looks in her hand and screams before dropping what was suddenly in it - an old rope in the shape of a noose.

Episode 1467

Aired: Tuesday February 7, 1972

After a replay of Monday's close and the titles, Lori stands before the growling werewolf, petrified. Behind the brush nearby, Miller sees this and looks genuinely concerned. He aims the tranquilizer gun while thinking "Lori might still be useful to me....I must stop him!" But suddenly Chris turns towards the approaching Barnabas and Quentin. Miller lowers the gun and watches. Lori shouts at Quentin to be careful, and Chris lunges at Quentin. Quentin bashes him on the arm with the silver candlestick and Chris screams in terror. He cowers from Quentin and then sees Barnabas raise the wolf's head cane. Chris runs off into the woods. Quentin runs to Lori and asks her if she's all right. She says yes, and then takes the candlestick from him. "I believe this is mine, isn't it?" she says with an inquisitive look. Barnabas says "There were reports of wild animal attacks in this area..." Lori gives him a half-smile and says "I never saw a wild animal wearing clothes before." Barnabas tells Lori that she can't be sure of what she saw since the "fear must have traumatized her." She nods with a sarcastic "Uh huh" and then takes a few steps in the direction Chris ran off. "I wonder where it went...." she says. Barnabas is surprised at her. "Are you sure you're all right?" he asks. She says yes, and adds "I suppose when my scientific curiosity is piqued, I lose all fear. I suppose you're not familiar with someone reacting like that." Barnabas answers "Quite familiar, actually." Quentin tells Barnabas he'll "handle" Lori (insert your own joke here) when Barnabas hears rustling in the brush. He turns to only catch a glimpse of Miller walking away. "There was someone else over there," he tells Quentin. Quentin looks and says "They're gone now. Seems like there's a lot more going on here." Lori says "I agree. Perhaps you'd care to explain." Quentin looks at her as she waits. Meanwhile, at Collinwood, Carolyn is sleeping. She stirs in her sleep a little, and then sits up with eyes closed. She gets up, and slowly leaves her room. As she walks down the hallway, she opens her eyes and in an English accent says quietly "How different it all looks now...." before walking on. We cut to the 1840s laboratory as Carolyn walks through the door. She moves towards the ragged green curtain and looks at the broken planks behind it. "Quentin....oh Quentin, your staircase is gone..." she says. "All the better, perhaps, love..." She smiles when she sees the desk partially restored, and opens one of the drawers in the "new" portion. She removes a book and says "There you are! I found you! I found you!"

Carolyn looks through the book she took from the desk when she blinks a bit and then looks around shocked. "How....how did I get here?" she says out loud. She gets her bearings, and then says "Walking in my sleep...but why? I thought I was dreaming of walking through the house...." She examines the book in her hand. "This...this is what brought me here," we hear her think. She starts to look through it before reading "Leticia Faye Collins...1841.... it's a diary of some kind..." she turns a few more pages and then gets terrified. We see on one page in the same handwriting as the rest are the words "For Carolyn Stoddard Hawkes." She closes the book and runs out of the lab. A glowing light near the green curtain appears, and the ragged curtain begins to look new again. We cut to Vicky, woken by her window slamming in the wind. She gets up to close it, and hears the howling outside. "What could that be?" she thinks as she's about to close the window. Before she can though, she sees something outside. Across the courtyard, she sees a glowing light in a West Wing window, which looks very much like the glow we saw in Quentin's old lab. "That light...who could be in that part of the West Wing?" The glow vanishes. Vicky thinks "What was that? I know it was there....it didn't look like a flashlight...what could it have been?" There's a knock at her door, and it's Carolyn. Carolyn comes in and tells Vicky about her sleepwalking and the book she found in the old laboratory with her name written in it from 1841. "What could it all mean?" she asks. Vicky says "I don't know. There are a lot of strange things happening here tonight."

Quentin and Lori are inside her lab again. She says "You knew to take that candlestick when you heard those howls. What aren't you telling me?" Quentin admits he took the candlestick, but "only because it was nearby. I thought I might need some protection." Lori says "That thing was scared by Barnabas' cane as well....there's a connection here." Quentin tells her that she shouldn't "continue to poke her nose into things so easily." Lori says "You had no fear of it. I was right about you, then. Tate wrote in his journal about his art 'absorbing the damage done to his subjects.' Does that portrait he did of you manifest any injuries done to you?" Quentin tells Lori she's "mad." Thinking out loud, Lori wonders what kind of animal is repelled by silver. "I'll find the answers, with or without you, Quentin," she says. "Can't you see I'm on your side?" Quentin says "Maybe I don't need anyone on my side, doctor!" She moves closer to him and says "Doctor? So formal... after we've been so intimate." He smiles and says "You won't be able to charm any more secrets out of me." She answers "If I find that animal, and discover its secrets, will I be able to find more of yours? I'd assume you've dealt with it before. Where? When?" He pushes her aside. "It's hard for me to respect someone's privacy when I'm almost killed by it," she says. "Face it. I'm involved with you and all your secrets. You can help me and I can help you." Quentin snaps "How can you help me?" Lori answers "By keeping your secrets." Quentin smiles in a sinister way. "There are lots of ways you could do that. Good night, doctor." He leaves, slamming the door. She hears another howl, and after a moment of thinking, takes the silver candlestick and leaves the lab.

It's morning. Chris is back to normal and begins to wake up in the woods in his tattered clothes. He moans and holds his arm, and then his neck. "I've got to get out of here..." he says. As soon as he stands, he's facing Lori. "Hello," she says. "Are you all right?" Chris says "I'll be fine...I didn't mean to startle you..." She smiles and says "I take it you had a rough night." Chris stretches and says "You have no idea, miss...." Lori answers "Dr. Lori Slater. Why don't we dispense with any games. I recognize those clothes. You nearly killed me last night." Chris says "I don't remember anything. But if some man attacked you, it wasn't me..." Lori quips "It wasn't a man. But it was you, wasn't it?" Chris begins to look scared and says "I don't know what you're talking about." He starts to leave, but she steps in front of him. "Don't leave. I want to discuss this with you. I must know." Chris angrily tells her to get of his way, but when he turns, he's suddenly facing Miller holding the tranquilizer gun on him. "Don't try to reason with him, Lori. He's as stubborn as you are." Chris sighs in defeat when he sees Miller.

Episode 1466

Aired: Monday February 6, 1972

James Storm's voiceover: "A dark and dangerous night rolls over the great estate of Collinwood, as many ghosts and secrets of the past rise to the surface. Chris Jennings has managed to escape from his mysterious captor, but has fallen under the curse of the werewolf in the light of the full moon. Quentin Collins' secret of immortality is suspected by Dr. Lori Slater, who has other interests in Quentin as well. And for Barnabas Collins, a long buried obsession has returned to haunt him...."

In a replay of Friday's close, Barnabas turns away from Maggie, who is dressed in Josette's wedding gown. He gasps "No! It cannot be! Not now! Not ever! You are not Josette!" She puts her hand on his shoulder and says "Remember the first time you saw me? How shy you were...afraid to talk to me. And then you somehow convinced my father to tutor me in English while your father talked business with him..." Barnabas is dumbfounded. "How did you know that?" She smiles at him. "Because I am Josette. If you thought I was only Maggie Evans under delusions, you were wrong. I am the living spirit of Josette...I have come back to you because I love you, Barnabas. You have always been the only true love for me. Nothing can separate us. Not time, not even death." Barnabas resists, though weakly, as she leans in to kiss him. "We can have it all back, Barnabas," she says. "Everything can be as it was meant to be....you will never lose me again..." He gives in with a hearty "Oh, Josette..." before giving her a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, Angelique has entered the house and innocently begins to climb the stairs....

After the titles, Barnabas and Maggie are kissing when he suddenly pulls away. "No...No!" he says. "It's too late for us now... it's too late!" She moves towards him and says "It's not too late as long as you go with me..." He hears footsteps in the hallway and gets scared. "Angelique! She's coming! He runs to the door and leaves the room, closing the door behind him. Angelique sees him and runs over to him. "Barnabas! There you are!" she says. He looks a little guilty and says "Were you looking for me?" She tells him about the strange howling sounds she heard outside. "Howling? Were they dogs?" he asks. She says it didn't sound like a dog. Barnabas wonders a moment what is was when Angelique says "What's that door doing open? I thought we had closed that room." Barnabas looks behind him and sees the door the Josette's room open a crack. Angelique goes to close it, but he gets in front of her and tells her he'll do it. She looks at him a moment and asks what's wrong, and he evasively says "Nothing." She looks at him skeptically and pushes the door to the room open. Barnabas is terrified, but then sees Angelique enter an empty room. Maggie is gone. Barnabas looks around in amazement, and Angelique says "You were in here, weren't you?" Barnabas answers "That's not important." Angelique tells him that the room must remain locked so that "those bad memories will not return. Unless...." Barnabas asks "Unless what?" Angelique says "Unless the room is redone. Completely. Redone to my tastes and preferences....perhaps that will be the answer." Barnabas says he isn't sure about that when suddenly they hear the howling again. Angelique says "There! There's that sound! That horrible sound!" After hearing it, Barnabas says "More horrible than you imagine. I've heard that sound before." Angelique wonders what he means. He quickly leaves the room and runs downstairs, Angelique following. "You stay here," he commands. "I know who that is out there." Angelique tries to stop him, saying "Are you mad? Going after some wild animal?" Barnabas picks up his cane and studies the silver wolf's head. "Not a wild animal, but a man. A man suffering from a horrible curse....the silver in this cane will protect me. I must find him!" He runs out of the house as Angelique looks back upstairs and thinks.

Barnabas is listening to the howls while searching in the woods. In another part of the woods, Chris the wolf is running and growling. In pursuit with a tranquilizer gun is Brian Miller, who is being careful as he follows in the woods. Barnabas hears rustling in the brush ahead of him and readies his cane - and then sees it's Julia, who says she's heading back to Collinwood. "Did you hear the howling?" he says. There are more howls, and Julia says "You don't think that's....." Barnabas nods. "Chris Jennings. It must be! We haven't heard those horrible sounds in years, since Chris went away. He must be back, Julia! We must find him!" Julia reminds Barnabas that while his cane will protect him, she has no weapons and he is also mortal. He tells her that he'll see her back to Collinwood and safety. Meanwhile, Miller follows a trail with the gun. We hear him thinking "The sounds were from this direction...I must stop him before anyone sees him. The last thing I need is attention..." Barnabas and Julia head through the woods when Julia says "You seem very nervous, Barnabas. Are you sure this is the best way to approach this?" Barnabas says he has "no fear of Chris in that form." Julia says "Then something else is bothering you." He denies it, but she answers "Oh Barnabas, I know you too well. There's something else on your mind that worries you, I can tell." He sighs, then says "Perhaps you're right, perhaps I can tell you that....." but suddenly there's some growling and on top of a large rock behind Julia, Chris the wolf sits. Julia screams (as only Julia can!) as Chris pounces towards her. Barnabas yells "Julia!!!!"

Chris has Julia cornered when Barnabas steps in front of her wielding the cane. He bashes Chris with it, who howls in agony while backing away. Behind them in the brush is Miller, with the tranquilizer gun. He watches Barnabas fight with Chris. We hear him think "Barnabas Collins...and that doctor from Collinwood....how does he know what to do? He has no fear at all....the silver in that walking stick of his...how does he know what he's dealing with?" Barnabas swings the cane at Chris more and more, who cowers and starts to run away. Julia catches a glimpse of Miller before he sees her and vanishes into the woods. Chris runs off. Barnabas asks Julia if she's all right, and she says yes. She takes his hand and says "I don't know what I'd....ever do without you...." He smiles but lets her hand go. "I should get you back to Collinwood. By morning, we'll have to find Jennings, no matter where he's gone to." Julia tells Barnabas she thought she saw someone else in the woods. He asks where, and after Julia points to the spot, he sees nothing. "Are you sure?" he asks her. "If someone else was out here....that means they might know something about Chris Jennings." We hear more howling, and on the howling cut to Quentin and Lori, in her lab. They hear the howling as well, as Quentin looks at the full moon through the window. She asks Quentin why he looks so concerned, and he says "It's nothing. I just wonder whose dog that might be." Lori says "That doesn't sound like any dog I've ever heard." Quentin sees a candlestick on top of a shelf. He picks it up and looks it over. "Silver...." he says to himself. Lori quips "Are you suddenly an admirer of antiques? I suppose that might make sense..." Quentin says "I don't know what I can do to convince you I'm not immortal." Lori answers "Show me that Tate portrait. Perhaps if I examine it scientifically, it will unlock the key to what he wrote in his journals." Quentin pockets the candlestick holder, and says "I have to go" as more howling goes on. Lori stops him and says "At least think about what I said." Quentin says he will, and she adds "And think about this too" before kissing him again. "I've always liked older men," she quips. He leaves, and she notices the candlestick is missing. After another howl, she wonders aloud "Why did he take that...."

Quentin walks through the woods holding the silver candlestick. "I know that howling all too well....it must be Chris Jennings, returned to Collinsport. But why? Why would he come back here?" we hear him think. He hears rustling in the brush ahead and wields the candlestick, but then sees it's Barnabas, wielding the cane. Quentin laughs. "Well, I suppose I don't have to ask what you're doing out here." Barnabas says "You heard it too...those horrible sounds!" Quentin says "Yes. Do you think it's Jennings?" Barnabas answers "Who else could it be?" Quentin answers "We might not want to know that." Barnabas tells Quentin how he fought the wolf away from Julia before getting her back to Collinwood. Quentin reminds Barnabas they might not be able to find Chris before morning, "and even then, what can we do for him?" Barnabas says "I don't know. But there has to be something." In another part of the woods, Chris is rubbing his sore spots when suddenly Miller appears. Chris growls at Miller as Miller points the gun. "Hold still...." Miller commands as Chris growls at gets ready to pounce. Miller is about to fire when he's distracted by the sound of Barnabas & Quentin's voices. He looks away for a moment as Chris swats the gun to the side. Miller reacts, hitting Chris with the gun. Chris howls and retreats. Barnabas and Quentin hear the howling. "Over there!" Barnabas says. Quentin looks scared and says "He's heading towards Lori's lab! Come on!" He leads Barnabas in that direction as we cut back to Lori opening her door and looking outside. "Quentin went after that animal with the candlestick. Why the candlestick...." Meanwhile, Miller goes after Chris with the gun, but hides behind a tree as Barnabas and Quentin pass him. "Quentin Collins too?" Miller thinks. "This is suddenly getting very very interesting...." Quentin sees Lori standing outside her door, and yells "Lori! Get back inside! It's not safe out here!" Lori looks confused, but suddenly Chris appears before her, growling and ready to strike. She backs away terrified as we hear Quentin yell "Lori! NO!"

Episode 1465

Aired: Friday February 4, 1972

Virginia Vestoff's voiceover: "Collinwood has always been a den of dark secrets, secrets the Collins family has taken great pains to protect from the eyes of the outside world. But on this night, the secrets of the past will be exposed to the light, and the ghosts they carry with them will return to haunt the living with all of the shadows of the past. Dr. Lori Slater, the daughter of the man who married the mistress of the great house, has been conducting experiments dealing with everlasting life. And she has turned her attentions towards Quentin Collins, suspecting that he is much more than he seems...

After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Quentin says "I don't know what you're talking about!" Lori says "Admit it, you and that Quentin are one in the same! You have to be! I only want to know how you did it! It's my entire research. If you found some way of conquering death, I must know how to preserve it for medical science!" Quentin tells her she's crazy, and she says "Those pictures of Quentin Collins in 1897 look exactly the same as you!" Quentin snaps "So what? Did you ever hear about family resemblance? If it were possible for you to travel back in time, you'd find that we Collinses tend to look the same generation after generation! We're very predictable that way!" Lori says that "There's more than just the resemblance. I've been looking into your background." Quentin gets angry. "You've been investigating me and snooping into my life?" Lori innocently answers "I'm only looking out for my little sister." Quentin scoffs at that as Lori continues. "You seem to turn up out of nowhere about three years ago. I found some other names you went by, Grant Douglas was one..." Quentin cuts her off. "I'm a writer, Dr. Slater! I've used pseudonyms!" Lori says "I've found some other names as well." Quentin cuts her off with "I've used several. Having a name attached to the Collins family made me seek more privacy. People tend to poke around my background otherwise." Lori smiles at him and says "I don't mean to do you any harm, and I don't mean to expose any secrets you have." Quentin insists he doesn't have any secrets. Lori says "You're actually quite valuable to me if I'm right about you. If someone did live that long, they'd have to use different names and assume different identities...move from place to place. Otherwise, their friends and anyone who knew them or grew attached to them would age and die as they got no older themselves..." Quentin turns away from her and says "You're spinning fantasy." Lori says "If I'm right about you, I can't let my sister get involved with you. She's far too fragile." Quentin turns to her and says "Your concern is quite touching. But your ideas about me are completely insane!" Lori humphs, and walks to her desk. She opens a drawer and takes out a file folder with some papers. "You might find these interesting. They're some research materials I've gathered over the years. I would look at anything anyone ever wrote about the idea of everlasting life. I knew the name Collins rang a bell when I heard it, so I dug these out of my files." Quentin picks them up and begins to look through them. "Photostats of someone's journal...I can't read the writing...." Lori says "I read it some years ago. It's part of the journal kept by an eccentric artist named Charles Delaware Tate." Quentin starts to look nervous.

Angelique and Sarah enter the old house. Sarah says she likes the village a lot and had a good time shopping with Angelique. She runs to Barnabas in the living room and says "Uncle Barnabas, we had such a good time! I'm going to like living here more than England!" Angelique gives Barnabas a knowing smile. Barnabas tells Sarah he's happy she likes it here, and tells her she'd better prepare her lessons for when Maggie comes over. She goes upstairs. Barnabas marvels at how "her mind has changed so quickly. All those other memories are gone." Angelique tells Barnabas that he should no longer worry about her. "As long as Vicky and David are careful around her, she should adjust well and be happy here," he says. He looks at Angelique and says "She has her life back," before she kisses him. Back at Lori's lab, Lori asks Quentin if he's ever heard the name Charles Delaware Tate before. Quentin says "I've only heard of his work." Lori says "In his journals, you can actually see how the man slowly lost his mind as he got older. He lost his fame and began to paint rather generic landscapes. His journals degenerate into ranting. But there were some very interesting things in those rants. Random passages about his talent coming from evil powers, and how he believed that he could create things simply by painting them." Quentin says "The man got old and senile. What's that got to do with me?" Lori says look at that page I gave you. Tate goes on an angry diatribe about making the man he despises immortal through his painting. In another section, he mentions the man by name. Quentin Collins. Of all those old portraits hanging in Collinwood, there's none of Quentin Collins. You'd think an original by an artist like Tate would be hanging prominently. You have that portrait, don't you? You need to have it to protect yourself!" Quentin says "Every artist thinks what he paints has become immortal." Lori tells Quentin "Stop lying already! Don't you see? Tell me I'm right about you! The two of us can make huge contributions to science, we can..." Quentin stops her. "The two of us? What's this we all of a sudden?" Lori turns away from him and says "I'm interested in your condition. If I can find the scientific principle behind Tate's accomplishment, I can use it to help others..." Quentin spins her around and says "And that's all you're interested in?" She tries to pull away, but then gets dreamy eyed and he kisses her.

Chris is still beating on the lock with the brick when the lock suddenly breaks. He drops the brick and begins to open the cage door, but then hears the footsteps again. Chris runs out of the cage and hides behind the iron door. Miller enters and opens the door, concealing Chris. He sees the cage broken open, and says "Jennings! No! You can't leave now!" Chris steps out from behind the door and shoves Miller out of the way. "Yes I can, Doctor!" Miller struggles with him and says "No! You must let me lock you in! It's nearly dark..." Chris yells "I can't let you keep me prisoner forever!" Miller struggles back, pleading "You don't understand...if you escape, you could be killed..." Chris stops struggling and seems to be thinking about this. "Or I could kill someone..." he starts to say, but then Miller tries to hit him over the head. Chris pushes him into a table full of equipment and yells "You can't be trusted for a second, Miller!" Suddenly, Chris cries out in pain and grabs his middle. "It's.....happening....." We cut to a shot of the moon rising. As Chris moans in pain, Miller staggers to the cage and sees the door is broken. "You won't kill me, Jennings, I'll see to that, at least..." Miller pushes the moaning Chris out the door and slams the iron door shut. Miller catches his breath as we start to hear growling noises outside. Outside, Chris has turned into the werewolf. He bangs on the iron door a while before running off. Miller, on the inside, picks up the tranquilizer gun and says "I'll get you back, Jennings. I'll get you back...."

Barnabas is looking out the window at the full moon when he hears a howling noise. "What could that be..." we hear him think. "I haven't heard that horrible sound in so long...what could it mean?" His thoughts are interrupted by Sarah entering the room. It's her room. She tells Barnabas that she's finished her lessons and is ready to go to sleep. He closes her window and tells her to make sure it stays closed tonight. "Is it cold out?" she asks. He says yes. Sarah says "Maggie is waiting for you in her room. She said she wanted to see you." Barnabas, confused, says "Her room? Do you mean her room up at Collinwood?" Sarah says "No, in her room here." Barnabas says Maggie doesn't have a room here, and Sarah says she's tired. Barnabas kisses her and tells her to go to sleep. He leaves, wondering what Sarah meant about Maggie having a room, but then looks concerned. He goes down the hallway and stops at a door, where we see light around the edges. "Oh no," Barnabas thinks. "Josette's room....could this be what Maggie thinks is hers?" He opens the door and enters, and while the room is candlelit, there is no one there. He looks around and calls "Maggie? Are you in here?" There is no answer, and he sighs relief and turns to leave. From behind him, he hears "Barnabas?" and when he turns, he sees Maggie standing before him, wearing Josette's wedding gown. Outside the house, Angelique is walking up to the front door when she hears the howling. She stops and thinks a moment. "That noise..." we hear her think. "That was no dog...I've never heard a sound like that before..." She looks up at the full moon and seems to wonder a moment before opening the front door. Up in Josette's room, Barnabas is upset. "You shouldn't be wearing that, Maggie!" he says. "And why not? Don't you want me to wear it, Barnabas? Don't you want me to be who I truly am?" Barnabas turns away from her and says "You are Maggie Evans! That's who you truly are!" He can see her in the mirror as she moves closer to him. "I was Maggie Evans, in this life. But now I know who I once was, who I shall always be. You know this to be true, Barnabas. You know I am Josette. I am your Josette." Barnabas can't look at her and says "No! It cannot be! Not now! Not ever!" She puts her hand on his shoulder and says "Remember the first time you saw me? How shy you were...afraid to talk to me. And then you somehow convinced my father to tutor me in English while your father talked business with him..." Barnabas is dumbfounded. "How did you know that?" She smiles at him. "Because I am Josette. If you thought I was only Maggie Evans under delusions, you were wrong. I am the living spirit of Josette...I have come back to you because I love you, Barnabas. You have always been the only true love for me. Nothing can separate us. Not time, not even death." Barnabas resists, though weakly, as she leans in to kiss him. "We can have it all back, Barnabas," she says. "Everything can be as it was meant to be....you will never lose me again..." He gives in with a hearty "Oh, Josette..." before giving her a passionate kiss. Meanwhile, Angelique has entered the house and innocently begins to climb the stairs....
