In a replay of Friday's close, Harrison is walking in the woods when he hears the sound of footsteps. He turns, and standing behind him is Sarah. "You!" he says. He takes a step towards her, but she takes a step backwards quickly. Harrison starts to bend down, saying "No, please don't go. Don't be afraid of me. I want to talk to you. Is that okay?" Sarah looks at him sternly and only says "You're not supposed to be here" while shaking her head. Harrison looks uncomfortable.
After the titles, Harrison asks Sarah "Where am I supposed to be then?" Sarah says nothing, and Harrison continues "Where are you supposed to be? Maybe I can help you." Sarah insists she isn't lost and says "I know where I live." Harrison asks where, and Sarah simply says "over there" without pointing to anything. "I still don't know your name," Harrison says. "Mine is Harrison. Harrison Collins." Sarah looks at him again and repeats "You're not supposed to be here." Harrison starts to say "Please, you've got to let me try..." when he hears footsteps in back of him. He stands and turns to see who it is, and when he turns back again, Sarah is gone. He moves towards where she was standing and simply says "Gone..." The footsteps in back of him get louder, and he turns to see that it's Angelique. She asks him who he was talking to, and Harrison answers "A little girl was out here. I think she was lost." Angelique gets a bit concerned and says "There aren't any little girls on the estate. She must have been lost." Harrison remarks how she was dressed strangely, in "an old fashioned dress. Have you ever seen anyone like that playing out here? She said she lived nearby." Angelique lies that she hasn't, and changes the subject by asking Harrison to walk her to Collinwood. He happily agrees, and as they walk away, we pan over and see Sarah watching them from behind some trees.
Barnabas arrives at Collinwood and meets up with Quentin in the drawing room. Barnabas asks Quentin if he learned anything about Harrison, and Quentin remarks that he learned that Harrison is "not too bad a fencer." Quentin goes on to explain to Barnabas Harrison's story of his past, and Barnabas says that "it sounds reasonable." Quentin asks Barnabas why he doubts Harrison so much, and Barnabas answers that some of the things Harrison has said and done have been "very strange, as if he already knew about the family before meeting us. Willie discovered that practically all of his clothes were brand new as well." Quentin laughs and says "All that proves is that he wanted to dress to impress the mighty Collins family of Maine." "Perhaps," Barnabas answers. Quentin asks Barnabas if the real reason he distrusts Harrison is because of Harrison's attraction to Angelique. Barnabas admits that "it's something else about the man I don't like." At that moment, Harrison and Angelique arrive, and Barnabas glares at him when he enters.
Barnabas possessively takes Angelique by the hand, though she thanks Harrison for seeing her there. Barnabas thanks him icily and says he needs to talk to "my wife" alone. Harrison goes upstairs, and Barnabas leads Angelique into the drawing room. Angelique tells Barnabas to stop being jealous for a moment, and to listen since "I think Harrison saw Sarah in the woods." Barnabas is stunned to hear this, and asks why she thinks so. She answers that he was talking to a strangely dressed little girl who vanished, so who else could it be? Barnabas wonders why Sarah would appear to Harrison and not him. "Why hasn't she forgiven me? Why must she appear to others, even a near stranger to Collinwood?" he whines. Angelique says she doesn't know, but she didn't want to tell Harrison anything since it "might have betrayed our secrets." Barnabas kisses her as Quentin reenters the room. He tells Angelique he's glad she's here, since "I have to ask you about something that I think you have expertise in." She wonders what he means.
Quentin tells Angelique and Barnabas about Stokes' theory that Daphne may be a reanimated soul from the past. Angelique asks why she would know anything about that, and Quentin answers that "If Petofi had the powers to do that, I thought maybe you would understand those powers since you once had similar ones." Angelique says that "such spells required great power" and that she never attempted one since she wasn't sure if it would work. "Judah Zachary taught me such a spell once, in another time, in another life....I prefer not to think about those days..." she says. Quentin says he needs to know if such spells last, since he's afraid to tell Daphne the truth if it means she will "soon vanish back into the past." Angelique doesn't know how to answer him when Stokes and Daphne arrive. Daphne looks at Quentin and says that Professor Stokes had discovered something "but wanted to wait until we got here so that you could tell me. What could that be?" Barnabas and Angelique excuse themselves, and Daphne wonders why as they leave Collinwood. Quentin looks at Daphne in silence.

Episode 1335
Aired: Friday August 6, 1971
After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Harrison stands with the point of the foil at his Adam's apple as he says "Quentin...what are you doing?" Quentin says he's "finding out the truth about you." Harrison answers that he can "hardly speak about anything with death reaching out at my throat." Quentin simply says "Try." Harrison takes a small step back, then suddenly jerks his head away and slaps Quentin's foil away with his own. Surprised, Quentin tries another move, but Harrison is quick and spins Quentin's foil out of his hand! Shocked, Quentin steps back, unarmed as Harrison holds his own foil, but while looking directly at Quentin, he suddenly smiles and drops his foil to the floor. "I'm not your enemy, Quentin, " he says. Quentin answers "I suppose I should be grateful. I wasn't expecting skills like those." Harrison answers "I had a good teacher," before pouring Quentin a drink and continuing "Why do you suddenly doubt me?" Quentin explains how Stokes and he found absolutely nothing about Harrison while researching the New York branch of the family. "The Collins family has a lot of money and property," Quentin continues. "It pays to be careful." Harrison takes a drink and then says "I was hoping I would not have to go into this. But it seems I need to put your mind at ease. Can I trust you with the truth, Quentin?" Quentin smiles.
Harrison tells Quentin that he "did not want to shame the family with his story," and insists that Quentin not tell Roger or Elizabeth what he is about to say. Quentin says he "hopes he won't have to." Harrison continues that his grandfather had "shamed the family and the family name by taking up with a mistress. He spent lavishly on her, driving my grandmother to drink. He gambled the family holdings away, all in front of my father. I'm sure you discovered in your research with Professor Stokes that the Collins family branch I am from seems to evaporate over a generation ago." Quentin says yes. Harrison continues "My father had to change his name in order to get a fresh start in business after the scandal. The scandal was hushed up, kept out of the family history, records, and the papers. no one was the wiser. My own father didn't tell me my true lineage until I was 21. When he died, I looked into my ancestors, and found more pride than shame. I had my name legally changed back to Collins." Quentin is considering all this as Harrison takes out his wallet. He shows Quentin some papers and identifications inside. "Here is my passport, my New York driving license, some other papers that prove what I'm saying." Quentin looks them over and answers "It seems that you may be telling the truth..." Harrison laughs a little and says "Quentin, you're always such a skeptic." Quentin looks at him and Harrison continues "At least that's how Roger describes you. Roger thought I looked like his father, and I've seen the photographs. How could I be an impostor when I resemble the family so?" Quentin nods, and apologizes to Harrison. Quentin says that Harrison should "tell other members of the family so as not to arouse suspicion." Harrison asks "Who else is suspicious of me?" and then adds "Well, I suppose I'll tell them to talk to you." The two men drink together.
At the old house, Barnabas is looking worried when Angelique enters the living room. She tells him not to worry about Nicholas returning, but Barnabas answers that "now that he is back in that house by the sea, he will no doubt continue to vex us whenever he can. I wish I could tell Roger the truth about him." Angelique says there's no need to, since they can fight Nicholas together. "It's you I'm worried about," Barnabas says. "I fear he is using Jeremiah's spirit to get to you....to bring you back under his influence and take you away from me." Angelique hugs Barnabas and answers "He will never do that. You freed me from all of that with your love." Barnabas asks Angelique if Nicholas offered her any "sort of deal," and Angelique lies "No." Barnabas says he must go to Collinwood to talk to Quentin, and tells Angelique he will be back soon. After he leaves, Angelique thinks "How I hate lying to you...but I am afraid that if you know what Nicholas wants, he will use it against you, my love... what can I do?" She repeats out loud "What can I do?" Suddenly, Nicholas is in the room with her. "Yes, what can you do?" he says mockingly. Angelique tells him that he should "go back to where he came from" since she has "no intention of compromising Barnabas and whatever he knows of time." Nicholas says "That's too bad, but I've actually decided on another possible arrangement, that is if you're interested." After a pause, Angelique finally asks, angrily "What?" Nicholas laughs, saying "Now that's the Angelique I remember. I've thought of something better for you to do, my dear. This Harrison Collins fellow intrigues me. I sense powers in him that I don't quite understand." Angelique answers "It seems your senses are going astray. He's a perfectly ordinary man." Nicholas answers "Perhaps, perhaps not. I want you to find out more about him for me. Now I know you can do that. You certainly haven't lost any of your feminine charms, and they are certainly not lost on Harrison from what I've seen." Angelique looks at Nicholas angrily. "How dare you!" she says. Nicholas snaps "If you want to be free of Jeremiah, you will do as I say! Do we have a bargain?" Angelique turns away from him, thinks a moment, then answers "Yes. Now go, get out of here. I'm tired of you!" Nicholas says "I'll go, my dear. It's nice to be back in business with you again." He snickers as he leaves as Angelique glares at him.
Barnabas is walking through the woods on his way to Collinwood when he hears some footsteps. He looks around for a moment, and the noise stops. "Who is there?" he calls. There is no answer, and Barnabas shrugs and continues on. As he turns a corner, he suddenly sees a little girl's doll on the ground. He gasps, picks it up, and says "Sarah!" Barnabas looks around frantically, calling out for Sarah, and then he hears some footsteps again. He excitedly moves towards them, but then is surprised to see that it's Harrison. "Hello Barnabas," Harrison says. "Who were you calling for just now?" Barnabas stutters a bit, and Harrison sees the doll in his hand. "What is that?" he asks. "Oh...." Barnabas says, but before he can answer Harrison says "Did some child lose that in the woods?" Barnabas answers "Yes...I thought I saw a little girl running away, so I was calling to her." Harrison says "Maybe she knows she was trespassing on the Collins property and you scared her away." Barnabas looks sad and answers "Yes, perhaps." Harrison asks Barnabas where he is going, and Barnabas answers he is on his way to see Quentin at Collinwood. "And where are you going tonight?" Barnabas adds. "Just taking a stroll around the grounds. I know how you also find that enjoyable," Harrison answers. "Yes," Barnabas says, and then says he must not keep Quentin waiting. As he leaves, Harrison smiles and thinks "Yes, Barnabas. Don't keep Quentin waiting. He has much to tell you now." Harrison continues walking when he hears the sound of footsteps again. He turns, and standing behind him is Sarah. "You!" he says. He takes a step towards her, but she takes a step backwards quickly. Harrison starts to bend down, saying "No, please don't go. Don't be afraid of me. I want to talk to you. Is that okay?" Sarah looks at him sternly and only says "You're not supposed to be here" while shaking her head. Harrison looks uncomfortable.

Episode 1334
Aired: Thursday August 5, 1971
At Stokes' house, Stokes is gathering some books together. He pours himself a sherry and takes a long thoughtful drink. Quentin enters, saying "Well, here I am. You said you had found something interesting. What is it?" Stokes answers "Now now, Mr. Collins! Such a rush! Please, have a sherry with me first." Quentin says that as much as he hates to refuse a drink, he must know what Stokes has discovered immediately. Stokes tells him that he may need to take that drink when he hears. Quentin raises an eyebrow.
After the titles, Stokes tells Quentin that he has done more research on the life of Count Petofi. Quentin asks what that has to do with Daphne, and Stokes tells him to sit down and be patient, "I will tell you in due time." Stokes goes on to explain how Petofi had amassed "tremendous power in the realm of the occult" and that he had "even gained power over the line between life and death." Quentin asks again what this has to do with Daphne, and Stokes continues "I believe Petofi had tapped into the fundamental forces of life and death, and could control them at will. There was a tract I discovered, from long ago, describing various rituals practiced by sorcerers similar to Petofi. One such ritual involved the reanimation of dead souls." Quentin reflects on "dead souls" for a moment, while Stokes continues. "When we traveled to New York, we found that the Daphne Harridge of the nineteenth century, the woman invoked under hypnosis by the Daphne we know now, bore a striking resemblance to the Daphne we know now." Quentin asks what Stokes is saying, and Stokes answers "I think you know perfectly well. I am theorizing that Petofi somehow brought Daphne Harridge Collins back to life."
Quentin tells Stokes he thinks "that's impossible." Stokes answers "Is it?" and goes on to give a quick re-cap of all the powers Petofi had as both sorcerer and vampire. He also says it would explain Daphne's lack of memory from before her arrival in Collinsport, her reaction under hypnosis, and "almost all other mystery surrounding her." Quentin asks what Stokes means by "almost" and Stokes answers that "the one remaining question is why. Why Daphne Harridge Collins?" Quentin answers that Petofi "seemed to be" targeting him, and since he is the namesake of "that Quentin Collins, it might explain the connection." Stokes answers "Perhaps, but it doesn't explain why Petofi would be targeting you in the first place." Quentin says that he has no idea why, but Stokes looks like he's thinking.
Quentin is getting ready to leave Stokes' house when he remembers to ask if Stokes has found out anything more about Harrison's relation to the New York branch of the family. Stokes says there is "nothing." Quentin wonders aloud to Stokes if Harrison is some "sort of impostor." Stokes replies "Didn't Mrs. Stoddard and Mr. Roger Collins feel he resembled their father? This would make him out to be quite a unique impostor." Quentin answers that there's still something about Harrison that "makes him uncomfortable." Stokes says he'll keep researching. Back at Collinwood, Daphne comes downstairs as Quentin returns. She gives him a welcoming kiss, but he seems afraid to tell her something. She asks him what Stokes had discovered about her, and Quentin dodges the question for a while until Daphne insists that he tell her. "I'm not afraid, Quentin. If you know anything about who I am, please tell me." Quentin makes a remark about a "silly old man with an insane theory," but after more pressure from Daphne, Quentin finally tells her what Stokes thinks. "Then he thinks I'm really dead," Daphne answers. Quentin takes her into his arms and insists "No, no, you are very much alive. And you're going to stay that way, no matter who you are." Daphne holds him and says that she hopes so, but begs Quentin not to let her go.
Daphne parts from Quentin to go upstairs to sleep as Harrison enters the room. Daphne says good night to him nervously and runs upstairs. Harrison asks Quentin if anything is wrong with Daphne, and Quentin answers that "it's nothing you can help with." Harrison offers his help anyway, and Quentin snaps back "Professor Stokes seems to think that Daphne may have a connection to one of your ancestors. One of the people from the New York branch of the Collins family. You're familiar with that branch of the family, aren't you?" Harrison laughs and says that he ought to be. Quentin walks to the wall and examines one of the two fencing foils on display. "And I understand you've been reading up a lot on this branch of the family as well," Quentin says. Harrison stands by Quentin and the foils and answers yes. "You're quite a curious fellow, Harrison," Quentin says handing him a fencing foil. "Here. Take this. I hate having an advantage over an unarmed man." Harrison takes the foil but says to Quentin "I don't know what you mean." Quentin takes the other foil from the wall and slaps at Harrison's foil before placing the point at his throat and demanding "You don't know what I mean, and I don't know who you are. Perhaps you'll give me an honest answer now. Who are you really, Mr. Harrison Collins?" Harrison gulps with the point of the foil at his throat.

Episode 1333
Aired: Wednesday August 4, 1971
After a replay of Tuesday's close and the titles, Harrison glares at Willie and asks him what he's doing. Willie nervously drops the book and tells Harrison "you really scared me there!" Harrison asks Willie again what he's doing there, and Willie answers that he was looking for the blueprints to Collinwood since he was "thinkin' of restorin' parts of the house. Ya know? Like I did for Barnabas at the old house. I was thinkin' since I'm the caretaker now, that Mrs. Stoddard might like some of the older rooms upstairs fixed up." Harrison asks Willie how he knew that he had the blueprints, and Willie lies that Carolyn told him. "So, you're really interested in the family history, huh?" Willie adds. Harrison says he is, and "that it seems I'm not the only one with curiosity." Willie gulps.
Willie is coming down the stairs quickly. He is about to leave through the front door when there is a knock. Willie answers it, and sees that it's Nicholas. "You!" Willie says, terrified. "What are you doin' back here?" Nicholas walks in with a smile and answers "Now that's hardly a friendly greeting, Mr. Loomis. Why don't you just simply say 'Hello, Mr. Blair, it's so good to see you again after all this time.'" Willie answers that he doesn't know how good it is. Nicholas laughs a little and asks to see Roger, but Roger has already come out of the drawing room and greets Nicholas with "Nicholas Blair! It's been so long since we've seen you here!" Nicholas walks by Willie, who leaves, and tells Roger that "after traveling all around the world, I've decided that I actually loved living in Collinsport best of all." Roger smiles and thanks Nicholas for his graciousness, and invites him into the drawing room for a drink. Nicholas continues to lie about where he's been, and eventually comes around to mentioning the house by the sea that he had originally rented from Roger. Roger tells him it's still empty and "yours if you want it again. I'm sure Liz will have no problems with you staying there as before." Nicholas raises his glass to Roger and thanks him, mentioning that "it will feel good to settle in again."
At the old house, Willie tells Barnabas what he found in Harrison's room. Barnabas is curious why all of Harrison's clothes were new, and he and Willie try to figure out the meaning behind this when Angelique enters the room. Willie tells them that Harrison was also reading the family history, and that he had bookmarked the page about Barnabas and Jeremiah. Barnabas and Angelique look at each other scared, and Barnabas wonders if Harrison has anything to do with Jeremiah "somehow." Angelique says she's sure he doesn't, and asks Willie to leave her and Barnabas alone. Willie insists he has to tell Barnabas "somethin' else! Somethin' much more important! Now you gotta listen to me!" Barnabas tells him to calm down and just tell him, but then there is a knock at the door. Barnabas answers it and sees that it's Nicholas. "Blair!" he gasps.
Nicholas enters the old house and sarcastically congratulates Barnabas and Angelique on their marriage. "I suppose this makes you my brother in law of sorts, Barnabas," Nicholas says. Barnabas snaps "Angelique has nothing to do with you, Blair. And I would loathe to consider you part of my family." Willie smiles and Barnabas waves him away. As Willie leaves, Nicholas looks around the room and says "And how is the family, Mr. Collins?" Barnabas sneers "Now I know it's you, Blair. I know that you're the one who is controlling Jeremiah. Don't think for a moment that I'm afraid of you." Nicholas sneers back "Don't you think for a moment that I haven't lost my powers." As the two square off, there is another knock at the door. Angelique answers it, and it's Harrison, who asks to come in. Barnabas sees him and asks him what he wants. Nicholas interrupts to say "Excuse me, I haven't had the pleasure..." and Harrison introduces himself to Nicholas with a handshake. Harrison continues to tell Barnabas "I want you to know that your servant was searching around my room earlier today." Barnabas feigns surprise, and says "Why would he be doing that?" Harrison skeptically answers "I'm sure you're as much in the dark as I am. He claimed to be searching for the blueprints I was studying, but I think he was looking through some of my personal possessions for some reasons. I understand that before you employed him, he was not of the finest character." Barnabas answers that Willie has changed since "those days" and is "completely trustworthy." Angelique tells Harrison that she "will speak to Willie. I'm sure he would not be able to refuse me the truth." Harrison smiles at Angelique and says "I'm sure no one could refuse you anything." Barnabas scowls at Harrison's flirting, and Nicholas notices Barnabas' anger with curiosity.
After a replay of Tuesday's close and the titles, Harrison glares at Willie and asks him what he's doing. Willie nervously drops the book and tells Harrison "you really scared me there!" Harrison asks Willie again what he's doing there, and Willie answers that he was looking for the blueprints to Collinwood since he was "thinkin' of restorin' parts of the house. Ya know? Like I did for Barnabas at the old house. I was thinkin' since I'm the caretaker now, that Mrs. Stoddard might like some of the older rooms upstairs fixed up." Harrison asks Willie how he knew that he had the blueprints, and Willie lies that Carolyn told him. "So, you're really interested in the family history, huh?" Willie adds. Harrison says he is, and "that it seems I'm not the only one with curiosity." Willie gulps.
Willie is coming down the stairs quickly. He is about to leave through the front door when there is a knock. Willie answers it, and sees that it's Nicholas. "You!" Willie says, terrified. "What are you doin' back here?" Nicholas walks in with a smile and answers "Now that's hardly a friendly greeting, Mr. Loomis. Why don't you just simply say 'Hello, Mr. Blair, it's so good to see you again after all this time.'" Willie answers that he doesn't know how good it is. Nicholas laughs a little and asks to see Roger, but Roger has already come out of the drawing room and greets Nicholas with "Nicholas Blair! It's been so long since we've seen you here!" Nicholas walks by Willie, who leaves, and tells Roger that "after traveling all around the world, I've decided that I actually loved living in Collinsport best of all." Roger smiles and thanks Nicholas for his graciousness, and invites him into the drawing room for a drink. Nicholas continues to lie about where he's been, and eventually comes around to mentioning the house by the sea that he had originally rented from Roger. Roger tells him it's still empty and "yours if you want it again. I'm sure Liz will have no problems with you staying there as before." Nicholas raises his glass to Roger and thanks him, mentioning that "it will feel good to settle in again."
At the old house, Willie tells Barnabas what he found in Harrison's room. Barnabas is curious why all of Harrison's clothes were new, and he and Willie try to figure out the meaning behind this when Angelique enters the room. Willie tells them that Harrison was also reading the family history, and that he had bookmarked the page about Barnabas and Jeremiah. Barnabas and Angelique look at each other scared, and Barnabas wonders if Harrison has anything to do with Jeremiah "somehow." Angelique says she's sure he doesn't, and asks Willie to leave her and Barnabas alone. Willie insists he has to tell Barnabas "somethin' else! Somethin' much more important! Now you gotta listen to me!" Barnabas tells him to calm down and just tell him, but then there is a knock at the door. Barnabas answers it and sees that it's Nicholas. "Blair!" he gasps.
Nicholas enters the old house and sarcastically congratulates Barnabas and Angelique on their marriage. "I suppose this makes you my brother in law of sorts, Barnabas," Nicholas says. Barnabas snaps "Angelique has nothing to do with you, Blair. And I would loathe to consider you part of my family." Willie smiles and Barnabas waves him away. As Willie leaves, Nicholas looks around the room and says "And how is the family, Mr. Collins?" Barnabas sneers "Now I know it's you, Blair. I know that you're the one who is controlling Jeremiah. Don't think for a moment that I'm afraid of you." Nicholas sneers back "Don't you think for a moment that I haven't lost my powers." As the two square off, there is another knock at the door.

Episode 1332
Aired: Tuesday August 3, 1971
After a replay of Monday's close and the titles, Jeremiah has hauled Angie in front of Nicholas. He tells her that she needs "to be reminded of the awesome dark powers I hold." Angelique demands to know what he wants. Nicholas tells her that he will tell her more "in due time" but if she wants to be "free of Jeremiah forever" she must "learn the secrets of time that Barnabas has discovered." Angelique cowers at this prospect as Jeremiah releases her. We cut back to Collinwood. Quentin and Stokes arrive, back from their New York trip. Stokes has a briefcase filled with papers, and remarks how "researching all these materials we found with what I have from the Collinsport archives may take a while." Quentin says they "might need to hurry" since he has no idea how any of it might affect Daphne. "But one thing is for sure," he adds. "I must speak to Barnabas....about our newly arrived cousin...."
At the old house, Willie answers Quentin's knock and brings him into the living room, where Barnabas is reading. Barnabas asks him if he found out anything more about Daphne in New York, and Quentin says that they "brought back a wealth of material on the branch of the Collins family my namesake started in the 1840s. Stokes will need some time to sift through it all." Barnabas says he hopes for the best, but Quentin adds "But I came to discuss a more pressing matter. Our so-called cousin Harrison." Barnabas is intrigued. "Harrison?" he says. "Did you discover anything about him?" "No," says Quentin. "Nothing at all. And that is the mystery." Barnabas asks him what he means, and Quentin answers that despite all the volumes of records they examined, "there is no record of a Harrison Collins. It seems that most of the family retaining the Collins name died childless at least a generation ago." "Then how..." Barnabas begins, but Quentin cuts him off. "Don't you mean 'who,' Barnabas? That's what I'd like to know. Just who is Harrison Collins?" Barnabas thinks about this question.
Barnabas says that "there must be some kind of logical explanation as to who he is." Quentin says maybe, and adds "He seems fond of Angelique. Perhaps she could find out more about him..." but Barnabas snaps "No, that wouldn't be the best way. I think it would be better if we found someone he would take less notice of." Barnabas looks over towards Willie and simply says "Willie, I have a task for you at Collinwood." Willie doesn't look thrilled as we cut to Angelique walking up the path to the old house. We hear her thinking "I cannot allow Nicholas to discover the secrets of time....with those powers at his disposal, he could wreak too much destruction. To think that once I desired such powers....how could Barnabas love me? How can I keep this from him and deceive him..." as she is thinking, Willie comes out the door. He excuses himself and says he has to go up to Collinwood. Barnabas sees Angelique and asks her where she's been as she comes inside. She says she's been out for a walk after talking with Liz. Barnabas looks at her concerned, and asks "Are you all right? You seem worried about something." She pauses a moment, but then simply says "I'm fine. Really." Barnabas wonders.
At Collinwood, Willie has sneaked into Harrison's room. He starts to look around, and starts by opening a wardrobe. He starts to look through some of the pockets of Harrison's clothes, but then notices that some of them have price tags attached. Willie runs his fingers over the fabric and thinks a moment. "These clothes....are all brand new...." he thinks to himself. After a shrug, he starts to examine the material on the desk in the room. He unrolls the blueprint of Collinwood, and then sees there is a bookmark in the large Collins history book on the desk. Willie thinks "The plans of the house and the history of the family....what is he so interested in it for anyways? He marked where he was readin'....let's see....." Willie opens the book and his eyes open wider as he thinks "He's reading about Barnabas! All about his parents and family and all the lies about how he went to England....why?" As Willie is reading the book and thinking this, he doesn't notice that Harrison has entered the room behind him. Harrison slams the door to get Willie's attention, and he spins around with a shocked look on his face as Harrison glares at him.

Episode 1331
Aired: Monday August 2, 1971
In a replay of Friday's close, Angelique, following Jeremiah's ghost, approaches the outside of the Eagle Hill cemetery thinking "Do you return to your grave each night? No, you can't. Why wouldn't you stay there?" She follows inside, as we see Jeremiah walk to the foot of his grave before stopping. Angelique watches him for a moment, and then we hear the sound of someone else approaching. Angelique peers from behind a tree to see who it is - and then we see the familiar smiling face of Nicholas Blair standing in front of Jeremiah, chuckling quietly to himself. Angelique's eyes are open wide as she sees this, thinking "Nicholas! Nicholas Blair!"
After the titles, Angelique watches as Nicholas commands Jeremiah "You are in my power. I have brought you back from the land of the dead, and I will summon you again. Return to your grave for now, Jeremiah....return....." Jeremiah starts to fade away into nothingness. Angelique thinks "Nicholas has raised Jeremiah. Perhaps it was even he who controlled him back in 1795....but for what purpose? Why does Nicholas want to do this?" Angelique steps on a branch, and the sound of the crack gets Nicholas' attention. He calls "Who is there?" as Angelique starts to run away. Nicholas catches a glimpse of her blonde hair and smiles. He calls to her "Angelique! Why do you run from me? After all, am I not your brother?" He begins to laugh as Angelique continues to run, but as she turns a corner, Nicholas suddenly is in front of her. He grabs her by the shoulders and says "Please, my dear. Don't leave me alone out here. I find graveyards positively frightening!" Back at Collinwood, Roger is going over some books in the study when Alan enters. For the first time that we've seen, Roger smiles at him and offers him a drink. Alan asks Roger how his work is going, and Roger complains about the "drudgery" of it all. Alan says "I have a feeling you have a good sense of the real estate market in Collinwood." Roger says he thinks he does, and asks Alan why. Alan answers that he's looking for office space, since he's thinking of moving his practice here.
Angelique demands to know why Nicholas has raised Jeremiah. Nicholas laughs and says "Jeremiah? Who would that be?" Angelique says "You know very well what I mean," with a scowl. "Barnabas told me you were dead," she adds. "Something I still owe him for," Nicholas answers. "But our master has taken good care of me. You remember our master, don't you my dear?" Angelique turns away from him and says "That is no longer my life, Nicholas. I have what I want now. And if you remember, what I have now is what your master promised would make me human again." Nicholas laughs, and answers "You are making the mistake of thinking that everything is permanent." He begins to walk around her as he adds "You should know better than anyone else how quickly things can change, especially after you arrived here through your tricks of time." Angelique is shocked to hear that he knows this, but he continues "Those are secrets I would very much like to know more about, my dear." Angelique answers that she will not make any "deals" with him, and that "despite whatever powers the master has given you, I will find a way to stop you. What powers have you got this time, Nicholas? And is it your last time? Your last chance on Earth before your master tires of you and your failures?" Nicholas turns to glare angrily at her. "Oh, you have not lost your insolence, have you?" She sneers at him.
Roger asks Alan why he would give up such a "thriving practice in Boston," and Alan answers that he can still consult cases in Boston, and that he was thinking of moving towards retirement anyway. Roger asks him if that's really the only reason, and Alan smiles and answers "Well, I also want to stay close to Liz. Spending time with her these past few weeks has been wonderful. And, there's really no medical reason for me to continue on here. I suppose you'll be pleased to know that her recovery is complete. She'll be fine now." Roger says he's happy to hear that. Alan says that he thinks it "would be more proper" for him to "find some property in town" so that he won't impose on the family anymore. Roger says "Nonsense!" and invites him to stay at Collinwood until he "contacts some property agents about where you'd like to set your offices up." Alan thanks him for his help.
Angelique is still needling Nicholas about all the times he's failed "his master" and Nicholas demands that she be silent. She goes on how she is free from obligations to "dark forces" since her "success in love" has "mastered" them. He scowls at her that "since you are now mortal, you have much to fear from me." She simply says "Do I?" and begins to walk away. Nicholas thinks to himself "Oh yes, you do my dear.....and I think it's time you realized that...." He walks back to Jeremiah's grave as a flash of lightning lights the stone. "Jeremiah Collins!" he calls. "I have need of you....I demand that you appear to me...." With another flash of lightning, Jeremiah's ghost materializes. Nicholas looks at him and simply says "Fetch her for me." Jeremiah leaves as Nicholas smiles. In another part of the woods, Angelique is moving back towards the old house thinking "I must tell Barnabas about Nicholas! Certainly he and the family can help me...." but as she moves around a tree, she suddenly faces Jeremiah's ghost, who lunges at her, grabbing her by the arms. She starts to scream.

Episode 1330
Aired: Friday July 30, 1971
After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Jeremiah stands before Harrison. Harrison takes a step back, but Jeremiah does nothing. Harrison seems to lose his fear as he looks Jeremiah over. "Who are you?" he asks, but Jeremiah says nothing. "Your clothes....late 18th or early 19th century, I would think," says Harrison. "Jeremiah steps forward with his hands out, and Harrison steps back saying "No! Get back!" and Jeremiah stops. "I don't know who you are, and I have no quarrel with you. If you consider this part of the house yours and me an intruder, then let me apologize and be on my way." Jeremiah points to the rolled up blueprint and vanishes. Harrison takes a deep sigh of relief, and then thinks a moment before unrolling the blueprint. He reads aloud "Collinwood....completed in the year of our lord 1795 to the specifications of....Jeremiah Collins." He rolls up the blueprint and begins to look around the hallway repeating "Jeremiah Collins!"
Angelique and Liz are having some tea in the drawing room. Angelique tells Liz how much she "loves Barnabas' family" and how happy she is to be living there. Liz remarks how happy she is "for the both of them. Barnabas always seemed such an incurable romantic, I'm so happy he's found happiness with you." Harrison comes down the stairs and is about to pass by the drawing room en route to the library, but sees Angelique and invites himself in. He says hello, and she gets a little uncomfortable. Liz asks Harrison what the rolled up paper under his arm is, and he tells her how he was studying the blueprints of Collinwood "since this magnificent house fascinates me so." Liz says that she's lived there so long, it may have lost some of its mystery to her. Harrison says it's all new to him, and Liz offers him some tea. Harrison says no thanks, since he wants to read a little of the family history in the library. "Are you reading more about the house or the family?" Angelique asks. "A little of both, I suppose," Harrison answers. "I'd like to read more about the man who built this house in the first place, about his life and perhaps the reasons he made some of the architectural decisions he made." Harrison unrolls the paper and reads from it "Jeremiah Collins," before looking at Liz and Angelique and asking "Do you know much about him?" Angelique is not thrilled with the question.
Liz says "Jeremiah Collins! One of our distant ancestors. He designed and built Collinwood, as far as I know." Angelique gets uncomfortable as Liz continues "I know he married once when he was young, to a woman who died in a fire. He remarried, before he died, to Josette Collins, I think. Actually, Barnabas is the one you should be asking about all this. Whatever you can't find in the family histories, he's certainly an expert on." Harrison replies "Really? Perhaps I will discuss it with him." Angelique puts her tea down and simply says "I must be going, I'm sorry." Liz asks Angelique if she is all right, and Angelique fibs that she is tired. Angelique leaves in a hurry, and Liz wonders what might have made her so upset all of a sudden. Harrison says he wonders as well, and then Liz tells him she'll show him where the books he's looking for are in the library. Angelique gets outside the front door and closes it behind her, shaken that Harrison could bring up Jeremiah and the past. She starts to hear the sounds of someone walking in the woods, and as she moves away from the house to see who it is, her eyes open wide as she looks through some tree branches....and sees Jeremiah walking away through the woods.
Angelique thinks "Jeremiah....your very name is enough to bring back untold amounts of misery...but you're not here for me, it seems..." She watches as Jeremiah continues to walk away through the woods, oblivious to her. "I will discover your secret," she thinks to herself as she begins to follow him. He continues walking through the woods, only focused on moving ahead. Angelique follows behind him, being careful not to be discovered. After a while, we see that Jeremiah has reached Eagle Hill cemetery. Angelique approaches the outside of the cemetery thinking "Do you return to your grave each night? No, you can't. Why wouldn't you stay there?" She follows inside, as we see Jeremiah walk to the foot of his grave before stopping. Angelique watches him for a moment, and then we hear the sound of someone else approaching.

Angelique leaves in a hurry, and Liz wonders what might have made her so upset all of a sudden. Harrison says he wonders as well, and then Liz tells him she'll show him where the books he's looking for are in the library. Angelique gets outside the front door and closes it behind her, shaken that Harrison could bring up Jeremiah and the past. She starts to hear the sounds of someone walking in the woods, and as she moves away from the house to see who it is, her eyes open wide as she looks through some tree branches....and sees Jeremiah walking away through the woods.
Angelique thinks "Jeremiah....your very name is enough to bring back untold amounts of misery...but you're not here for me, it seems..." She watches as Jeremiah continues to walk away through the woods, oblivious to her. "I will discover your secret," she thinks to herself as she begins to follow him. He continues walking through the woods, only focused on moving ahead. Angelique follows behind him, being careful not to be discovered. After a while, we see that Jeremiah has reached Eagle Hill cemetery. Angelique approaches the outside of the cemetery thinking "Do you return to your grave each night? No, you can't. Why wouldn't you stay there?" She follows inside, as we see Jeremiah walk to the foot of his grave before stopping. Angelique watches him for a moment, and then we hear the sound of someone else approaching. Angelique peers from behind a tree to see who it is - and then we see the familiar smiling face of Nicholas Blair standing in front of Jeremiah, chuckling quietly to himself. Angelique's eyes are open wide as she sees this, thinking "Nicholas! Nicholas Blair!"
