James Storm's voiceover: "It is a night of terror for those at the great house of Collinwood. A battle is underway, a battle for control over the power of everlasting life...a life that was given to Quentin Collins by a long vanquished enemy. But now, another enemy has plotted to transfer that immortality to himself, at the cost of Quentin's life, as well as many others...."
After a replay of Monday's close and the titles, Quentin doesn't know what to do as Chris begins to transform and Brian shouts "You have no choice! You must free me or we'll both die!" Quentin shouts back "There isn't enough time! If I open that door, Chris will escape as well!" Brian's eyes turn frantic and terrified, and he runs up to the bars screaming to be let free as we hear low growls coming from Chris. David grabs clumps of different herbs from Brian's array and suddenly jumps towards the cell. "Pass the portrait through the bars," he orders. "Then I'll give you these so you can transform and escape through them yourself! You'll turn into that bat again!" Quentin angrily shouts "David, what are you doing?" David snaps "Getting your portrait!" before turning back to Brian and commanding "Do it! You don't have any other choice!" Brian thinks a moment before another growl is heard, and quickly grabs the portrait and passes it through the bars to David, who hands it off to Quentin. Quentin smirks and says "Let's get out of here!" David says "No, I made a deal! I can't go back on my word!" Lori and Quentin both angrily shout at David how he can't let Brian go, but David insists that he has to go through with it. Brian smiles at first, but suddenly, Chris has turned into the werewolf and stands up, noticing Brian at the opposite side of the cell. Brian screams "David! Give me those herbs! Now!' David reaches his hand out.
As Quentin and Lori continue to yell at him, David hands Brian the herbs right before Quentin yanks David away. David protests "Stop it! You don't understand!" Brian gobbles up the herbs as Chris/Wolf snarls at him. David pulls away from Quentin and says "I read it in the book Stokes gave me! It should work!" Quentin wonders what he means until he sees Brian fade, but not into a small animal that can escape through the bars like the bat - Brian turns into a unicorn. Quentin and Lori gasp at the sight of it. "Oh my God...what did those herbs do?" Lori asks. "A unicorn...a mythical beast..." Quentin says before looking at David in amazement. Chris/Wolf lunges at the unicorn as it helplessly backs against the bars and we cut back to Lori revolted at what she's seeing. She hides her face in Quentin's embrace as he turns away, telling her it's all right. David watches with satisfaction as we hear the sounds of the snarling wolf tearing into the unicorn that's Brian, when suddenly the snarling stops. David yells "It worked! It worked!" Quentin turns, and inside the cell, a panting Chris has turned back into a human again. His face is somewhat bloody, but he is no longer the wolf. Brian is also lying in the cell, bleeding from his side and unconscious. Quentin walks to the bars saying "The legend.... the curse of the werewolf can be ended with swallowing the blood of a unicorn....Petofi told me that once, so long ago...." Quentin looks out the window and sees the full moon high in the sky before turning back to Chris, who stands and asks what happened. Quentin tells him "You're cured.... David found a way to cure you." Chris looks at the window and sees the moon and then looks himself over. "The moon... its risen, but I haven't changed!" He sees Brian laying on the floor and says "Is he dead?" Quentin says "I don't think so, it looks like he's still breathing. But I doubt he'll live very long." David searches through the still unconscious Barnabas' pockets and finds a key ring which he brings to the cell door. He opens the door and lets Chris out, who gives David a hug and thanks him for curing him, "even though I'm not quite sure how you did it." David explains how he read enough in the book on shamanism to know what herbs would transform Brian into the unicorn, "even though unicorns aren't supposed to exist. But neither are werewolves, so I figured it must work!" Julia and Angelique enter the laboratory and see the strange scene. Julia is shocked to see Chris, and Quentin tells her what David accomplished.
Angelique runs to the unconscious Barnabas and Julia tells Angelique that he'll be all right. Angelique says he'll only be all right after Brian Miller is dead. Chris says he wants to go clean himself up, and Lori tells him she'll want to run some last tests on his blood to make sure he's all right. She suggests they return to her lab. Julia tells Quentin that she and Angelique will see to Barnabas, and that he should get his portrait back to a "safe place at Collinwood." David asks what they'll do with Brian, who still lies unconscious and bloody. Angelique says "I will see to him, David. Why don't you go back with Quentin. You've done very well here tonight." David asks if Barnabas will be okay, and Angelique says "Yes. I can assure you that Barnabas himself will thank you for what you've done here." David looks at Barnabas a moment, and then says okay, leaving along with Quentin, Chris and Lori. Julia closes the door and says that Barnabas has been "knocked out mostly from the stress he's under." Angelique looks hatefully at Brian, and says "That stress will be gone once I squash this man like a bug." But when she takes a step towards him, the room suddenly grows dark. Julia gasps "What's happening?" as a flame begins to burn near Brian. Angelique steps back and tells Julia to "Leave here! Quickly!" but Julia refuses as the flame expands and suddenly bursts open into a glowing light surrounding the robed Diablos. "Angelique..." Diablos says. "This one is mine to control....unless you are ready to fulfill your bargain to me." Angelique doesn't say anything as Julia cowers and manages to mutter "It's...it's...." Angelique finishes her sentence with "...my old master, Julia. Come to make his claim."
Angelique stands before Diablos as Julia watches in terror. "I need more time," Angelique says. Diablos sneers and says "Miller thought he could evade his own bargain with me by cheating his way to everlasting life." Julia says "That's why Brian did it... he sold his soul to you for his powers, and then tried to use those powers to make his soul immortal and unavailable to you." Diablos answers "No one can cheat me as he discovered. But I am not through with him yet, for he still controls the one that Angelique has promised to me in her own place." Julia is shocked, and looks at Barnabas. "You promised Barnabas to him? How could you?" Julia is about to scream at Angelique, but Angelique silences her. "No!" she shouts. "I would never promise him Barnabas. I would give myself to save Barnabas!" Diablos says "Brian Miller has taken control of Josette DuPres through the vessel of Maggie Evans. Such a soul is pure and innocent... worth many times the soul of a Brian Miller alone." Julia says "Maggie... you can't let him take Maggie!" Angelique scowls "Julia, stay out of this! It's the only way to save Barnabas! Do you want to see him remain as Brian Miller's slave?" Julia says no, but insists there must be another way. Angelique says "I know you'll never trust me, Julia. I know your feelings all too well. But I must insist on you letting me handle this." She turns to Diablos and tells him that she will need more time, but Diablos says "There is but one way to bring the Evans girl...." He waves his arm and a wall of flame keeps Julia and Angelique at bay as Brian begins to stir. He gets up and holds his bloody wounds in pain, but then sees what is happening. Julia yells at Angelique to stop Brian, and Angelique says that she can't with the flames in her way. Brian manages a sneer and staggers to a different drawer from the herbs David took from. He opens the drawer and takes out another small bag of something before running out the door. As soon as he leaves, Diablos and the flames vanish. Barnabas begins to groan, and Julia says "Barnabas is coming to! But with Brian alive...." Angelique says "He'll still be under his control! Julia, keep Barnabas here. I have to go after Brian. It's what my master wanted." Julia says "But if it's what he wanted..." Angelique smiles and says "You should know me well enough by now to know that I always don't give what is expected of me." She leaves as Barnabas comes to with Julia kneeling next to him. "Julia!" he says. She tells him that she's there, and that she'll make sure he's okay. He takes her hand and smiles.

Episode 1501
Aired: Monday March 26, 1972
In a repeat of Friday's close, Quentin bangs on the door of the old house and then enters, looking for Barnabas, who isn't there. Quentin calls for him a couple of times, and there is no answer. Quentin notices something on the stairway, and a closer look reveals a few drops of blood. "Blood...." Quentin thinks. "Barnabas is in trouble too... I must find Angelique or Julia.....or else I'll have to face Brian alone...." Outside, Brian points towards the house as Barnabas, powerless and shaking with near tears in his eyes, walks towards the front steps holding a gun....
After the titles, Quentin comes out of the old house and closes the door behind him. He sees Barnabas, and calls to him. "Barnabas! What's happened?" is all he can say before he sees the gun. Quentin grows concerned and sees Barnabas looking fretful. "What's wrong with you? Put that gun down!" Barnabas struggles to say "I....cannot! I must take you with me..." Quentin snaps "You don't have to do that, Barnabas! If Brian is making you do this somehow, you must fight him!" Barnabas cries "I cannot! Don't you understand? I've....I've been bitten...." Quentin gasps "Barnabas, no! We need to find Julia! Or Angelique! They can help you!" Barnabas moans "There is no help for me now...not anymore. You must come with me. Please, Quentin, don't resist! I cannot have any harm done to anyone on my conscience!" Quentin asks where they are going, and Barnabas says "I can't tell you...I'm sorry." Quentin says "It's okay, I think I know. And when I get there, believe me Barnabas, I'll do whatever I can to free you from this!" As they walk off, we see Brian watching and snickering before following them out of sight. A moment or so later, David steps out of the woods, after watching what has happened. "Brian has control of Barnabas somehow," we hear him thinking. "And now he wants Quentin too... I've got to do something!" He hears someone approaching and runs out of sight. It's Julia, who passes him on her way to the old house. We cut to the old house door being opened and Julia entering. She calls for Barnabas and then sees the blood on the stairway. "No...dear God no!" she says as Angelique enters. "What's happened?" Angelique asks. "What we've feared...what we've always feared..." Julia answers. Angelique grabs her and says "What are you saying? Are you telling me Barnabas is dead?" Julia says "No... but Brian has taken him." Angelique gasps.
Angelique wonders aloud if Barnabas has been turned back into a vampire, but Julia thinks a moment and says "No... how could Brian gain from that? Think about it... Barnabas as a vampire means Barnabas would have great powers independent of Brian's control." Angelique nods and says "Yes, you're right. But not as a slave of the bat Brian became, which would give Barnabas no control. Julia, we must free him!" Julia agrees, and Angelique gets some fire in her eyes when she says "And the only way to do that will be to destroy Brian Miller...something I shall take great pleasure in." We cut to Barnabas marching Quentin up the steps of Rose Cottage. "Somehow I knew we'd be coming to Brian's lab. I only wish I knew why. But I suppose you won't tell me his plans, will you?" Barnabas says "I don't know them...I only know what I must do." He leads Quentin inside, and we cut to Chris and Lori locked in the cell with Quentin's portrait as they hear footsteps. The door to the lab opens, and Quentin is marched in by Barnabas, holding the gun on him. Quentin sees them and calls out to both of them before running to the bars. "Are you all right?" he asks Lori, who nods, answering "Brian has gone insane!" Brian enters and laughs. "Not quite, my dear. Barnabas, you've done well. With Chris Jennings, Quentin Collins and that wonderful portrait all together in one place, we shall soon see the fruits of my genius. And you, my dear Dr. Slater, will witness that genius in your last moments on this Earth!" Barnabas shudders and says "You can't kill her! You can't kill any of them!" Brian says "You're in no position to think for yourself anymore, Barnabas. And get used to that feeling! I only need to prepare things just a bit..." Brian walks up to Quentin and slides a knife blade across his cheek. Lori shrieks and Quentin pulls away, but Brian says "Calm yourself, my dear. I've done him no harm. Remember what effect that portrait has on our friend." Quentin feels his face, which is not bleeding, but we see that some blood has begun to run from the old decaying face in the portrait. "Your immortal blood, now fresh upon that portrait....and with Mr. Jennings as the other end of your curse serving as the catalyst for mixing the two together, I shall have the means to transfer the power of that portrait into my own veins." Quentin snarls "What are you talking about?" just we see David approaching the door to the lab from outside, where he can listen in. Brian continues "As long as Jennings mixes your blood with the shreds of paint from that portrait after the moon rises and he is transformed, the resulting mixture could give me your everlasting life if transfused into my own blood." Quentin says "Lori's right, you are insane!" Lori thinks a moment, and says "No, Quentin... it could be possible! Especially if he's prepared himself with some sort of herbal treatment to prepare his blood for the shock." Brian snickers "Exactly right, doctor." Barnabas shouts "But if that portrait is shredded, then Quentin will revert to the rotting corpse it depicts! He'll die!" Brian says "A necessary sacrifice for my enduring existence. And with Lori Slater in the same cage, at least he'll die with someone he cares for, right Mr. Jennings?" Chris snarls "I'll kill you when I get the chance, Miller." Brian smiles and says "I don't think so," and removes some silver bullets from his pocket and drops them on the table. "Because once I get what I want, you are no longer of any use to me."
Brian orders Barnabas to get Quentin into the cell. As Barnabas begins to unlock the door, David sneaks into the lab and is seen by Chris and Lori as he sneaks under a table towards where Brian keeps his herbs. Barnabas opens the door and holds the gun on Quentin when suddenly, David bumps the table and it makes a noise. Barnabas and Brian are distracted, and Quentin grabs Barnabas' arm and begins to struggle for the gun. "Barnabas, don't fight me," Quentin says. Barnabas struggles with Quentin and with himself, saying "I...cannot help myself...." Quentin pushes Barnabas away and the gun flies out of his hand. Brian takes a step towards it, but Quentin grabs him as Lori runs out of the cell. She calls for Chris, but Chris says "No... I can't! The moon is about to rise!" Quentin throws Brian into the cell, and he hits the wall hard. Quentin slams the cell bars shut as Barnabas goes for the gun. When he gets there, a foot steps on it and when Barnabas looks up, it's David. "David!" he gasps. David says "Fight it, Barnabas!" Barnabas grabs the gun and tries to get it out from David's foot as Brian gets up and yells "Kill him! Barnabas, I order you to kill David!" Barnabas gets the gun out from David's foot and stands pointing it at him as Quentin yells "Barnabas! No!" Chris lunges at Brian and begins to strangle him. Meanwhile, Julia and Angelique are moving quickly through the woods towards Rose Cottage. Julia says "I thought I saw David going in there a moment ago." Angelique asks "Why would David be there?" Julia says "He's been insisting on helping us...reading about herbs and shamanism... he said he came across some things that could help." Angelique says "He's young... but he's no longer a child. Perhaps he will be able to help." Back at the lab, David shudders as Barnabas points the gun at him. From inside the cell, Chris chokes Brian as he manages to say "Kill him! Quickly!"
Barnabas' hand begins to shake as Brian continues to order him to shoot. Quentin tells Barnabas to "keep fighting it" and David says "Barnabas.... you can't....remember our gentleman's agreement.... we're always there to look out for each other..." Barnabas gasps as he suddenly jerks away from David and fires off to the side. "Quentin.....stop me! Quickly! Before I turn back!" he yells. Quentin runs over towards him and says "You asked for it," before decking him and knocking him out. Quentin shakes his punching hand from the force of the blow and says "I know you'll forgive me, old friend..." Chris suddenly drops a gasping Brian and falls away, groaning in pain. "It's happening!" Chris yells. We cut to a shot of the moon beginning to rise. Brian backs away in terror. "He's transforming! Get me out of here!" Quentin begins to laugh, saying "How perfect for you, Miller, to get torn apart by the very force you thought would give you everlasting life!" Lori says "No, Quentin! Your portrait is still in there! It'll get torn apart too!" Quentin realizes this, and says "But if we open that door, Brian will get away!" Brian grabs ahold of the portrait and says "It's your choice, Quentin" with an evil smile as Chris continues to groan, suddenly holding up a hairy wolf's paw instead of his own hand....
In a repeat of Friday's close, Quentin bangs on the door of the old house and then enters, looking for Barnabas, who isn't there. Quentin calls for him a couple of times, and there is no answer.

Episode 1500
Aired: Friday March 23, 1972
After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Barnabas sits on the stairs looking very depressed as Brian stands over him. "You understand, now, don't you Mr. Collins?' Brian says. Barnabas only nods weakly. "Once again, you have underestimated me, and now you have lost your will as a result." Brian sneers. "How ironic it must feel for you, Barnabas, after all the others you've put into the position you are in now. A mindless servant, powerless to do anything other than my bidding." Barnabas gasps "But I don't understand! You are not a vampire! You only changed yourself into that....that creature!" Brian laughs. "How right you are! And it gives me great advantage to lack the vulnerabilities of a true vampire, yet possess much of the power associated with one. True, I can't dematerialize at will, but like a vampire who possesses one such as yourself, as long as I live you will do my bidding." Barnabas snarls "You're mortal... as long as you live might not be as long as you think." Brian replies "I am making great effort towards those ends. Even now, my plans for achieving true immortality are coming together. And not only is there nothing you can do to stop me, you are going to help me, whether you like it or not!" Brian laughs as Barnabas cannot fight him. Meanwhile, Roger enters the drawing room and finds Vicky. She tells Roger she's been waiting for him, and Roger wonders why. "Because someone very important to me has returned, and I wanted to tell you first, so that you wouldn't be shocked or react badly." Roger can't figure out why Vicky is acting this way, and says "Why are you being so absurd? Who could possibly have that effect on me?" Burke enters the room and says "I suppose I could, Roger." Roger drops his glass to the floor almost as fast as his jaw. Burke smiles and says "I'm back!"
Roger gasps "How? It's been years! How did it...." Burke says "It's a long story, and I won't bore you with it. Suffice to say that once I knew Vicky was here, I couldn't stay away." Roger snarls "Well, I cannot tell Vicky who she can and cannot be fond of, and though I must admit I'm happy for her that you're still alive, I..." Burke cuts him off and says "Charming as always. Roger, relax. Don't think of me as an enemy, please. I don't think of you as one." Roger says "I find that hard to believe, almost as hard to believe as you standing here right now." Burke says "Roger, I've been through a lot. A lot of things that made me really look at the value of life and death. And our arguments, our problems with each other, well, they don't really stack up against some of those things. Our fight seems so petty next to some of the things I've discovered are truly valuable. I don't care about those five years in prison, that's all in the past. I only care about the future. A future for Vicky and me, and whether or not either of us like it, you'll be part of that future. Maybe we might only be able to tolerate each other, but that'll be a start, don't you think?" Roger looks him over as Vicky takes Burke's hands. Roger sighs. "You certainly sound different. I never cease to amazed at what the passage of time can do. I don't want to fight with you anymore." Burke smiles and says that pleases him greatly, and Vicky thanks Roger since she was worried about how he'd feel about Burke returning. Roger says "Does he know all about you? Who you are?" Burke says "Yes, and I intend to marry her anyway." Roger knew it was coming, but still doesn't like hearing it.
Vicky is with Liz, asking her how she's feeling. Liz says she's fine, only she was shocked at what she saw in the west wing room. "It was like a strange dream....I saw myself and my father....only things were different..." Vicky says "A strange thing is happening in the west wing where our dreams and wishes become real for a few moments. Harrison says it's like that strange room in the east wing that Barnabas discovered." Liz says "I'd hate to have to close up that part of the house again. Poor Quentin, we'd have to move all of his things..." Vicky says that "Harrison thinks he might be able to stop the phenomena from happening. He's....studied such things." Liz is surprised and says "I wonder how you study such things. Maybe I shouldn't be asking. Carolyn wants to study the same kind of strange things in Europe. I hope she gets that scholarship. It would be such a good thing for her." Vicky says that Carolyn seems to know what her future will be. Liz says "And you? With Burke returned? What of your future?" Vicky says "You're a step ahead of me. I wanted to tell you before I told anyone else because I wanted your blessing. Burke has asked me to marry him." Liz tells Vicky "that's wonderful" and gives her a hug. "I wasn't sure how you'd react," Vicky says. Liz shrugs and says "There was a time when I hated him and he wanted to destroy this family out of revenge....there was even a time when it wouldn't have been my place to give such a blessing...but a lot of time has passed. And now, I think of the irony....that a man who considered himself my enemy will be marrying my.... daughter." Vicky says "It is strange." Liz says "Right when you were growing interested in how the business operates...I suppose now you won't pursue that...." Vicky says "I'm not sure. After all, someone will need to oversee any combined business operations of the Collinses and Burke Devlin. Why not Mrs. Burke Devlin?" Liz smiles at Vicky. In the west wing, Harrison has told Quentin why he has returned. "I sympathize with your problems, Harrison," Quentin says. "But we have some of our own here, now. Barnabas and I have an enemy who has been making trouble, a man named Brian Miller, who possesses some strange powers." Harrison nods, and says "I see...." Quentin thinks a moment, and says "Wait a moment. If you're from my future, you should know what happened between Miller and me. You could tell me what I need to do!" Harrison says "No, I'm afraid I cannot. If I got involved, I might alter what must happen in order to protect the world I live in." Quentin says "I know that's true, but it's still not the answer I want!" Harrison says "All I can tell you is that I cannot become involved. Things must happen the way they are meant to." Quentin nods, and then smiles. "Well, dear cousin, you came back in time to save us all once before. I'll assume that if you don't need to this time, we'll do all right by ourselves." Before Harrison can answer, there is a knock at the door. Quentin opens his door, and sees Burke. "Quentin Collins?" Burke says. Quentin says yes, and Burke introduces himself. "Harrison mentioned you," Quentin says. "A friend of Vicky's." Burke says "More than a friend. We're engaged." Quentin says "Well, that calls for celebration! We should go downstairs for a round of brandies." Burke says fine, and then says "I'm sorry to intrude on the two of you, but David insisted repeatedly that I meet you, and he's tough for me to turn down. He was very sure that we'd become good friends." Quentin grows curious. "David?" Burke says "Yes, David and I were very good friends before I went away long ago. I'm amazed at how big he's gotten. How much he's changed. Roger was never crazy about David's fondness for me, but there you are." Quentin laughs a little and says "I think David might have been right about us getting along. Let's go have that drink." The three of them leave Quentin's room, but as they head down the hallway, Quentin notices the door to the attic is open a crack. Harrison asks him if he's coming, and Quentin says "I'll be with you in a minute. Go on, I need to see something." Quentin runs up the staircase into the attic and sees the portrait gone. He looks around the empty room frantically.
Downstairs, Harrison and Burke are having a drink, wondering where Quentin is. Quentin runs down the hallway in a panic when David peeps out of his room. David asks Quentin what's wrong, and Quentin says "Nothing, forget it" but David follows him. Quentin runs down the stairs and grabs his coat. Burke asks him what's going on, and Quentin apologizes. "Something very important has come up, I have to go." Before Quentin can leave, Burke says "Can I help with anything?" Quentin stops and turns, and says "Thank you, but I really shouldn't involve you in this. Not after what Vicky went through to get you here. I can handle my enemies, and I promise you we'll be having that drink.... and many others together." Quentin goes out the door just as David comes down the stairs. "Where did he say he was going?" David asks. Burke says "He wouldn't say. But he seemed like he was in some trouble." David says "I'd better follow him." and gets his coat. Burke says "Whoa, David! Whoa! Quentin didn't want us following him, I think he wouldn't want you to be in any danger either." David says "You don't understand! I know how to help him, if it's what I think it is!" David runs out as Burke shouts for him to stop. After David is gone, Burke tells Harrison "Come on, we'd better go after David and bring him back here." Harrison puts his hand on Burke's shoulder and says "No, we shouldn't do that." Burke says "What are you talking about?" Harrison says "Vicky told you enough about me and my knowledge of time. You must trust me. David must go after Quentin. It's his destiny." Burke looks at Harrison and then at the doors, wondering what Harrison means. Meanwhile, at the old house, Quentin bangs on the door and then enters, looking for Barnabas, who isn't there. Quentin calls for him a couple of times, and there is no answer. Quentin notices something on the stairway, and a closer look reveals a few drops of blood. "Blood...." Quentin thinks. "Barnabas is in trouble too... I must find Angelique or Julia.....or else I'll have to face Brian alone...." Outside, Brian points towards the house as Barnabas, powerless and shaking with near tears in his eyes, walks towards the front steps holding a gun....
After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Barnabas sits on the stairs looking very depressed as Brian stands over him. "You understand, now, don't you Mr. Collins?' Brian says. Barnabas only nods weakly. "Once again, you have underestimated me, and now you have lost your will as a result." Brian sneers. "How ironic it must feel for you, Barnabas, after all the others you've put into the position you are in now. A mindless servant, powerless to do anything other than my bidding." Barnabas gasps "But I don't understand! You are not a vampire! You only changed yourself into that....that creature!" Brian laughs. "How right you are! And it gives me great advantage to lack the vulnerabilities of a true vampire, yet possess much of the power associated with one. True, I can't dematerialize at will, but like a vampire who possesses one such as yourself, as long as I live you will do my bidding." Barnabas snarls "You're mortal... as long as you live might not be as long as you think." Brian replies "I am making great effort towards those ends. Even now, my plans for achieving true immortality are coming together. And not only is there nothing you can do to stop me, you are going to help me, whether you like it or not!" Brian laughs as Barnabas cannot fight him. Meanwhile, Roger enters the drawing room and finds Vicky. She tells Roger she's been waiting for him, and Roger wonders why. "Because someone very important to me has returned, and I wanted to tell you first, so that you wouldn't be shocked or react badly." Roger can't figure out why Vicky is acting this way, and says "Why are you being so absurd? Who could possibly have that effect on me?" Burke enters the room and says "I suppose I could, Roger." Roger drops his glass to the floor almost as fast as his jaw. Burke smiles and says "I'm back!"
Roger gasps "How? It's been years! How did it...." Burke says "It's a long story, and I won't bore you with it. Suffice to say that once I knew Vicky was here, I couldn't stay away." Roger snarls "Well, I cannot tell Vicky who she can and cannot be fond of, and though I must admit I'm happy for her that you're still alive, I..." Burke cuts him off and says "Charming as always. Roger, relax. Don't think of me as an enemy, please. I don't think of you as one." Roger says "I find that hard to believe, almost as hard to believe as you standing here right now." Burke says "Roger, I've been through a lot. A lot of things that made me really look at the value of life and death. And our arguments, our problems with each other, well, they don't really stack up against some of those things. Our fight seems so petty next to some of the things I've discovered are truly valuable. I don't care about those five years in prison, that's all in the past. I only care about the future. A future for Vicky and me, and whether or not either of us like it, you'll be part of that future. Maybe we might only be able to tolerate each other, but that'll be a start, don't you think?" Roger looks him over as Vicky takes Burke's hands. Roger sighs. "You certainly sound different. I never cease to amazed at what the passage of time can do. I don't want to fight with you anymore." Burke smiles and says that pleases him greatly, and Vicky thanks Roger since she was worried about how he'd feel about Burke returning. Roger says "Does he know all about you? Who you are?" Burke says "Yes, and I intend to marry her anyway." Roger knew it was coming, but still doesn't like hearing it.
Vicky is with Liz, asking her how she's feeling. Liz says she's fine, only she was shocked at what she saw in the west wing room. "It was like a strange dream....I saw myself and my father....only things were different..." Vicky says "A strange thing is happening in the west wing where our dreams and wishes become real for a few moments. Harrison says it's like that strange room in the east wing that Barnabas discovered." Liz says "I'd hate to have to close up that part of the house again. Poor Quentin, we'd have to move all of his things..." Vicky says that "Harrison thinks he might be able to stop the phenomena from happening. He's....studied such things." Liz is surprised and says "I wonder how you study such things. Maybe I shouldn't be asking. Carolyn wants to study the same kind of strange things in Europe. I hope she gets that scholarship. It would be such a good thing for her." Vicky says that Carolyn seems to know what her future will be. Liz says "And you? With Burke returned? What of your future?" Vicky says "You're a step ahead of me. I wanted to tell you before I told anyone else because I wanted your blessing. Burke has asked me to marry him." Liz tells Vicky "that's wonderful" and gives her a hug. "I wasn't sure how you'd react," Vicky says. Liz shrugs and says "There was a time when I hated him and he wanted to destroy this family out of revenge....there was even a time when it wouldn't have been my place to give such a blessing...but a lot of time has passed. And now, I think of the irony....that a man who considered himself my enemy will be marrying my.... daughter." Vicky says "It is strange." Liz says "Right when you were growing interested in how the business operates...I suppose now you won't pursue that...." Vicky says "I'm not sure. After all, someone will need to oversee any combined business operations of the Collinses and Burke Devlin. Why not Mrs. Burke Devlin?" Liz smiles at Vicky. In the west wing, Harrison has told Quentin why he has returned. "I sympathize with your problems, Harrison," Quentin says. "But we have some of our own here, now. Barnabas and I have an enemy who has been making trouble, a man named Brian Miller, who possesses some strange powers." Harrison nods, and says "I see...." Quentin thinks a moment, and says "Wait a moment. If you're from my future, you should know what happened between Miller and me. You could tell me what I need to do!" Harrison says "No, I'm afraid I cannot. If I got involved, I might alter what must happen in order to protect the world I live in." Quentin says "I know that's true, but it's still not the answer I want!" Harrison says "All I can tell you is that I cannot become involved. Things must happen the way they are meant to." Quentin nods, and then smiles. "Well, dear cousin, you came back in time to save us all once before. I'll assume that if you don't need to this time, we'll do all right by ourselves."

Episode 1499
Aired: Thursday March 22, 1972
After a replay of Wednesday's close, we get to see why Liz is gasping - she looks inside the room and sees the aged Jamison (Keith Prentice) talking to young Liz (Alexandra Moltke). Young Liz gushes and thanks her father for his blessing in her marriage to Alan Slater. Jamison says he's got high hopes for the young man, "given he keeps his promise to complete his medical studies." As Jamison takes a step leaning on his cane. "Perhaps if he had been there in the Great War, I'd still be able to run the mile, eh?" Outside, modern day Liz can only say "Father.... how can you still be alive in there?"
After the titles, we are in Burke's world, where Vicky looks at her own portrait waiting for him. He enters the room and says he's ready to go. She sees that he only has one small bag to carry with him, and asks him what he needed to do about his business before leaving. "A problem that had a simple solution, actually. I just sold everything," he says. Vicky asks him if the bag is stuffed with cash. Burke laughs. "No, the amount of cash would be far too bulky. I converted it all into something small, easily transported and extremely valuable." He opens the bag and Vicky is stunned to see the amount of diamonds it contains. "I'll sell them when we get you your world, to see what sort of businesses I can restart." Vicky says she's never seen so many diamonds in her life. Burke turns her to face him and reaches into his pocket. "Tell me what you think of this one," he says as he puts a ring on her finger with a large diamond on it. Vicky tells Burke tearfully that she loves it, and he asks her to marry him. "Oh yes, Burke! Oh yes!" she says as she grabs onto him. "Don't let go of me Vicky," he says. "Hold onto me and undo that necklace. It's time to go." She smiles as Burke picks up the bag. She holds Burke's hand with one hand and undoes the necklace with the other. It drops to the floor, and suddenly she and Burke are standing in the dark empty room of Vicky's time. Burke looks around in amazement. "That's fantastic! The entire room just....changed!" "Of course it did, Mr. Devlin," says a smiling Harrison, who is also standing in the room. Burke turns to him and says "Who are you? We haven't met." Harrison answers "No, we haven't, I'm sorry. I'm Harrison Collins. I helped Vicky in knowing how to, well, use this room, shall we say?" Vicky says "Harrison! I didn't know what happened when I came back here without you!" Harrison says "A small mistake, but no matter. We are all here now." Burke says "And I'll stay here? I won't suddenly pop back?" Harrison says "Not unless you want to. You'd need to use that necklace, though I intend to close off the pathway forever. I'm assuming that's not a problem?" Burke puts his arm around Vicky and says "No problem at all." Suddenly, we hear Liz gasping outside and a thud. Vicky, Harrison and Burke run into the hall and find Liz has fainted in front of the other room. Vicky says "She's fainted! Harrison, get some water!" Harrison looks into the room and says "She fainted from seeing this.... from deep inside her own thoughts..." He runs off as Burke looks into the room and sees Jamison and the young Liz inside and is amazed.
Carolyn rushes to Liz's side and says that she heard the noise. Vicky says she's only fainted and should be all right. Burke looks at Carolyn and smiles a big smile. "Burke!" she says, giving him a big hug. "Vicky was right! She could bring you here! Oh, I'm so happy to see you!" Burke says "Not as happy as I am to see you!" Harrison returns with a towel and some water and begins to dab Liz' forehead with it. "She should wake soon," he says. Burke asks Harrison "What's in that room? I tried to enter, but couldn't." Harrison says "Another world, another reality. Something triggered from Elizabeth's mind." Burke and Carolyn look inside and see a calendar dated 1946 and hear the young Liz and Jamison talking about Liz' upcoming marriage to Alan. As Liz begins to stir and awaken, the room suddenly goes dark again. Burke steps inside, and says "Gone...it's just gone! Vanished!" Harrison says "The hole in time closed as soon as she regained consciousness.... I know this sounds strange to you, Mr. Devlin, but it all makes perfect sense." Liz says "Where am I?" Carolyn looks at Harrison who gives her a signal to keep things calm. Carolyn tells Liz she had a bad dream. "I must be overtired from my trip," Liz says. Vicky leans over her and asks her if she's all right. Liz smiles and gives Vicky a hug. "I'm fine...I'm so happy to see you, I was worried..." Vicky says "Don't worry about me. I've....got someone else here who wants to see you. Someone we thought was gone. But he's not, he's back! " Liz wonders who, until Burke steps back out of the room and says "Hello, Liz. It's been a while." Liz is first shocked, but then smiles as Burke takes Vicky's hand. "Burke!" she says. "You're alive!" He smiles back at her.
Liz is overwhelmed by everything she sees and says she wants to rest. Burke and Vicky take her back to her room as Carolyn and Harrison follow. "Harrison!" Liz says. "I didn't even see you! How long have you been back?" Harrison tells her he "just came back for a short visit. I'm so glad it turned out to be when you got back from your honeymoon." We dissolve to Burke closing Liz' door, telling Vicky that she's gone to sleep. Vicky says that Carolyn and Harrison are downstairs. "Roger and David must be asleep," she adds. "I'm almost tempted to wake Roger up and tell him I'm a bad dream," Burke says. "I can't wait to see Davey... or is it David now? Now that he's five years older?" Vicky says "You'll have to ask him." Burke says "That room Liz was looking into. I saw a little of it before it went dark. I recognized the man in there, it was Jamison Collins, Roger and Liz' father. And then I realized who the young woman in there was. Elizabeth, only when she was much younger." Vicky says "Yes, Harrison told me. We see what our subconscious minds want us to see whenever other worlds become visible. That's why I saw a world where you needed me. Elizabeth saw a version of her own past, because of whatever was on her mind." Burke nods, and says "I had never noticed it before I looked into that room, but you look a lot like Elizabeth did when she was younger. I guess beauty tends to blend together after a while." Vicky takes Burke's hands and says "Actually, there's a much better reason for the resemblance than that. There's something else I need to tell you about myself in this world....who I am. I finally know." Burke raises an eyebrow. Downstairs, Harrison has told Carolyn why he has returned. "That makes a weird sort of sense," she says. "That we would see things repressed in our minds in those rooms. I saw a different world in one. One where my husband was still alive." Harrison says that "The most common thing would be for us to see something a part of us wishes for." Carolyn says "But this was different. He was dominating, didn't listen to me. I saw myself in that other world, but it wasn't who I am, or who I want to be." Harrison smiles and says "You got to see what the reality actually was, of something you thought would bring you happiness but actually wouldn't. Our wishes don't always bring us happiness, after all. Your mother saw a world in which she wouldn't have given up Vicky as a baby against her will, right when she was searching for Vicky and worrying about her. It all makes perfect sense." Carolyn says "How will you close those holes in time?" Harrison says that once he locates the source of "all the rifts" he can close it. "And it must be somewhere in this house." Carolyn asks "What would you see if you looked into one of those rooms?" Harrison shrugs, and says "I don't know." Carolyn says "I know what I'd see now, since I know what I want." Burke and Vicky enter the room as Carolyn continues "I'd see myself in the future as an accomplished author and professor. And I won't have to look inside that room to see it either, all I have to do is live my life and see it for real." Burke says "You sound so different than I remember you, Carolyn." Carolyn says "I've been through a lot, Burke. I'm not the teenager making a fool of herself over you." Burke says "Good. Don't be anyone's fool, ever." David walks in, saying "I couldn't sleep with all the talking, what's going...." and then he sees Burke and gasps.
"Hello, David," Burke says. David can't believe it, and asks Burke if he's a ghost. "No ghost, but it's an interesting story of how I got here," he answers. David runs up and hugs him, and tells him he doesn't care how he got there, as long as he's back. Vicky tells David she'll explain it all to him, and Harrison says "That might be the best idea." David sees Harrison and says "Cousin Harrison! When did you get back?" Harrison gleams at David a moment, then says "I was just passing through again, and thought I'd drop in for a little while. How have you been, David?" David says fine, and then marvels that he can't believe Burke is back. "Does my father know you're back?" David says. Burke laughs and says "Not yet, or we'd hear the screaming. But your Aunt Elizabeth knows, and Carolyn here. I'm interested in meeting Alan, too." David says "And Quentin, you should meet my cousin Quentin!" Vicky tells Burke that Quentin and David are very fond of each other, and Burke says "Then I'd be very happy to meet him." Carolyn says "We'll also have to tell Barnabas you're back. Oh, Vicky! Barnabas will be so happy for you!" Burke says "Yes...Barnabas. I'd very much like to see Barnabas again...." We dissolve to Barnabas, blowing out candles in the old house, getting ready to retire with that happenin' smoking jacket on. As he turns to climb the stairs, he suddenly faces Brian. "How dare you come in here!" Barnabas bellows. "Now, now, Barnabas," Brian says. "You should know by now that I can go anywhere I please. And your lovely, shall we say bewitching wife isn't here to protect you right now, is she?" Barnabas picks up a heavy candlestick and says "I can protect myself quite well, thank you." Brian says "Not against me. Not ever again." Barnabas swings the candlestick at Brian, who spins out of the way. When Barnabas turns around, Brian is gone. Barnabas looks around frantically for him, when he hears a familiar and horrifying noise - the beating of wings! Barnabas backs up towards the stairs, and then a large bat appears, flying closer and closer to him. He picks up his cane and swings it at the bat, yelling "I'll kill you in whatever form you take, Miller! Die!" He misses with a swing and the bat lands on his arm. Barnabas screams in pain and terror.
After a replay of Wednesday's close, we get to see why Liz is gasping - she looks inside the room and sees the aged Jamison (Keith Prentice) talking to young Liz (Alexandra Moltke). Young Liz gushes and thanks her father for his blessing in her marriage to Alan Slater. Jamison says he's got high hopes for the young man, "given he keeps his promise to complete his medical studies." As Jamison takes a step leaning on his cane.

"Of course it did, Mr. Devlin," says a smiling Harrison, who is also standing in the room. Burke turns to him and says "Who are you? We haven't met." Harrison answers "No, we haven't, I'm sorry. I'm Harrison Collins. I helped Vicky in knowing how to, well, use this room, shall we say?" Vicky says "Harrison! I didn't know what happened when I came back here without you!"

Your mother saw a world in which she wouldn't have given up Vicky as a baby against her will, right when she was searching for Vicky and worrying about her. It all makes perfect sense." Carolyn says "How will you close those holes in time?" Harrison says that once he locates the source of "all the rifts" he can close it. "And it must be somewhere in this house." Carolyn asks "What would you see if you looked into one of those rooms?" Harrison shrugs, and says "I don't know." Carolyn says "I know what I'd see now, since I know what I want." Burke and Vicky enter the room as Carolyn continues "I'd see myself in the future as an accomplished author and professor. And I won't have to look inside that room to see it either, all I have to do is live my life and see it for real." Burke says "You sound so different than I remember you, Carolyn." Carolyn says "I've been through a lot, Burke. I'm not the teenager making a fool of herself over you." Burke says "Good. Don't be anyone's fool, ever." David walks in, saying "I couldn't sleep with all the talking, what's going...." and then he sees Burke and gasps.
"Hello, David," Burke says. David can't believe it, and asks Burke if he's a ghost. "No ghost, but it's an interesting story of how I got here," he answers. David runs up and hugs him, and tells him he doesn't care how he got there, as long as he's back. Vicky tells David she'll explain it all to him, and Harrison says "That might be the best idea." David sees Harrison and says "Cousin Harrison! When did you get back?" Harrison gleams at David a moment, then says "I was just passing through again, and thought I'd drop in for a little while. How have you been, David?" David says fine, and then marvels that he can't believe Burke is back. "Does my father know you're back?" David says. Burke laughs and says "Not yet, or we'd hear the screaming. But your Aunt Elizabeth knows, and Carolyn here. I'm interested in meeting Alan, too." David says "And Quentin, you should meet my cousin Quentin!" Vicky tells Burke that Quentin and David are very fond of each other, and Burke says "Then I'd be very happy to meet him." Carolyn says "We'll also have to tell Barnabas you're back. Oh, Vicky! Barnabas will be so happy for you!" Burke says "Yes...Barnabas. I'd very much like to see Barnabas again...." We dissolve to Barnabas, blowing out candles in the old house, getting ready to retire with that happenin' smoking jacket on. As he turns to climb the stairs, he suddenly faces Brian. "How dare you come in here!" Barnabas bellows. "Now, now, Barnabas," Brian says. "You should know by now that I can go anywhere I please. And your lovely, shall we say bewitching wife isn't here to protect you right now, is she?" Barnabas picks up a heavy candlestick and says "I can protect myself quite well, thank you." Brian says "Not against me. Not ever again." Barnabas swings the candlestick at Brian, who spins out of the way. When Barnabas turns around, Brian is gone. Barnabas looks around frantically for him, when he hears a familiar and horrifying noise - the beating of wings! Barnabas backs up towards the stairs, and then a large bat appears, flying closer and closer to him. He picks up his cane and swings it at the bat, yelling "I'll kill you in whatever form you take, Miller! Die!" He misses with a swing and the bat lands on his arm. Barnabas screams in pain and terror.

Episode 1498
Aired: Wednesday March 21 1972
Thayer David's voiceover: "Little would one suspect by looking at the exterior of the great house at Collinwood that the house contained as many mysteries as it does... for in the west wing, numerous holes into time have been opened, each one leading to a different world that reflects the innermost thoughts of those who look there. On this night, the mistress of the great house will return, only to discover the eerie occurrences that have taken place in her absence...."
The foyer doors open and Liz enters. Alan comes in behind her, carrying some bags. She looks around and says "It almost looks strange...after being away so long, the house looks a little different than I remember. And I thought its image had been etched into my brain after all the years I spent here." Alan answers "You spent them here alone, too. But those days are over." He kisses her.
After the titles, the drawing room doors open, and Carolyn runs to hug her mother. Roger comes in with the rest of the bags and leaves them in the foyer. Carolyn wants to know all about Europe, and Liz tells her that "there'll be plenty of time for that." Alan says he also took plenty of pictures "Of Paris, Rome, London.... you name it!" Liz tells Carolyn that "it was wonderful....so wonderful to see the world." Carolyn agrees, and says that she understands how her mother felt "cooped up in this house for so long." She turns to Alan and says "You're a good influence on my mother." Alan says he hopes so, and then excuses himself to make a telephone call. Liz asks how everyone is, and Carolyn says "Mostly fine... there's been some things going on here, but we shouldn't talk about that now! Tell me more about your trip! What did you see in London? What did you do?" Liz says she feels like she saw and did everything. "I even tried looking up some people Barnabas might have known there, but it turned out we were too busy. I'm afraid he'll be so disappointed." Alan hangs up and says "I'll need to run to Boston for a little while to check on some things at the hospital. But I'll be back before too late tonight." Liz smiles at him and says that this will be the first time they'll be apart in months. "Only temporary," he says. "Don't worry, I won't come back too late and wake everyone up." Alan leaves, and Liz asks where Vicky, David and Quentin are. "David is up in his room talking to Professor Stokes," Carolyn says. Liz and Roger are impressed. "David called Stokes over? Whatever for?" Roger asks. Carolyn says that David wanted to discuss some book he read with him. "Talking to college professors already... I think sending that boy to school for even a short time did him a world of good," Roger says as he pours himself a drink. "I haven't seen Quentin," Carolyn adds. "And Vicky? Where's Vicky?" Liz asks. Carolyn thinks a moment and then says "She was in the west wing. Mother, there's something about the west wing you need to know." Liz wonders what.
In David's room, David is asking Stokes about herbs and shamanism. Stokes asks him why he's suddenly interested in the topic, and David says that he read a book on it and wondered if "it's ever really happened." Stokes says that he's read other material about "the ancient practice" but that nothing "scientific" has ever been able to substantiate the theory. Stokes paces the room a little and picks up the little wooden toy soldier that Sarah had given David long ago. "The idea of men transforming into animals goes back very far in all sorts of varied mythologies," Stokes says. "Men who become monsters against their will... forced to do unspeakable things." David interrupts "I was thinking more along the lines of someone doing it on purpose, you know, turning themselves into an animal they wanted to be for a while." Stokes nods, and says "Using certain herbs for the purpose. Yes, I gathered the area of your specific interest. Are you going to tell me what this is about?" David says nothing. Stokes sighs. "It always seems as if you Collinses want answers from me without providing me answers." Liz enters the room, and David gives her a hug. Stokes says hello and asks her how her trip was. She tells them both it was wonderful, and David wants to hear more. Stokes tells him he'll wait downstairs as Liz asks David if he's seen Vicky. He says no as Stokes leaves. Downstairs, Stokes finds Carolyn looking over some of the travel books Liz brought back. "What strange stuff did my cousin want to ask you about?" Carolyn asks him. "He asked more than he told, that's for certain," Stokes answers. "It seems as if those books he borrowed from you have piqued his curiosities." Carolyn says that her mother's trip has certainly piqued hers, "especially in terms of seeing other parts of the world outside of this little town." Stokes raises an eyebrow. "Really?" he says. "How interesting that you should say that." She wonders what he means.
Stokes has handed Carolyn another brochure that she looks over with great interest. "I had thought about recommending you for this," he says. "But I never thought you'd want to leave Collinsport." Carolyn disagrees, and says that "this looks fascinating." Stokes says "Scholarships like this one don't come along very often. You've done well in your limited studies. But I must confess I thought you were only attending those classes to strike up something in common with your friend Sebastian." Carolyn says "No, that wasn't it at all. Everything that has happened around here, especially lately, has made me more interested in studying phenomena like this. Those dreams I had, as well... about the past and that woman who lived here at Collinwood. It all seems as if it's a sign of some kind." Stokes says that he doubts that "someone in line to keep watch over the Collins fortunes" would want to pursue such studies. Carolyn says that she "always hated playing the role of princess. Where has it gotten me? I used to think that the only thing I needed to concern myself with was to find myself a husband before I got too old. But look at my mother...all the years she spent independently running everything. And now, taking that path didn't deny her love. Why shouldn't I pursue something else?" Carolyn goes to the desk and takes out a pen. She starts filling in the brochure Stokes gave her. "I want you to go ahead and recommend me for this scholarship. Studying in London with experts on the paranormal is a once in a lifetime opportunity." She hands him the form, and he's a bit surprised. "I wonder what your mother will have to say about this..." he mutters. Carolyn says "It's my decision. It's my life, after all."
In Liz' room, Liz unpacks some things as Carolyn tells her about the scholarship. "You wouldn't mind me leaving for those few years, to get a degree, would you?" Carolyn asks timidly. Liz says she will certainly miss Carolyn, but "that I won't feel alone. I can always visit you over there, and it's your life, Carolyn. I'm so happy that Professor Stokes thinks you should get a scholarship to get an advanced degree. Is it really what you want?" Carolyn says it is. Liz says "Then it's what I want too. Has Vicky returned yet?" Carolyn says "I haven't seen her. She may have gone into the west wing." Liz says "You started to tell me something about the west wing, but never finished. What is going on?" Carolyn says "It's too strange to believe. Once in a while, in different rooms, different bands of time appear and disappear." Liz is shocked. "Different bands of time? I remember Barnabas telling me about a room in the east wing... why does this house always become the focus of such bizarre things?" Carolyn says she's worried that Vicky may have "become obsessed" over what she saw in one of the rooms, and Liz asks what it was. Carolyn says "I think it's better if Vicky told you." Liz wonders about that. We dissolve to Carolyn going to bed, and as she falls asleep, she begins to dream. In her dream, she is about to leave with packed suitcases from Collinwood in a foggy foyer. Suddenly from behind her, the drawing room doors open and Carolyn goes inside. The furniture is all different and much older. Carolyn looks around wondering why "everything looks so old" when she sees a letter on the desk. She picks it up, and it's dated March 21, 1842. "1842?" she gasps. "Am I back in..." She looks down at herself, and she is dressed in Victorian garb. She hears a familiar giggle, and then sees her reflection in the windows - but reflection talks to her as Leitcia Faye. "You! You're Leticia Faye!" Carolyn says. The reflection answers "Right, love, that's 'oo I am! I'm so glad you found me...I have to tell you something!" Carolyn looks at her and says "Why are you my reflection?" Leticia laughs and says "Don't you know by now? Maybe you need to study me some more....find out what I'm really like." Carolyn says "But I don't know anything about you! How can I find out more?" Leticia says "You must go to England and search for clues there.... you'll see! It's our destiny, love, our destiny." Carolyn asks for more answers, but as Leticia giggles, the wind suddenly blows open the window and when Carolyn moves it back, the reflection is gone and she is back to wearing modern clothes. She also notices that there's a book under her arm as well, and when she looks at the cover, it reads "Psychic Phenomena & Reincarnation, A Personal Case Study By Dr. Carolyn Stoddard Hawkes." Carolyn is shocked when she reads it, and when she looks at the back cover, she sees a picture of herself, looking a little older. "Copyright 1981..." she gasps. "What's happening?" The room grows foggier, and then we cut to Carolyn waking suddenly in bed. She thinks a moment and then we hear her thinking "That dream....so vivid. But now I know I must get that scholarship...." In Liz' room, she is about to go to bed when she sees a light outside her window. "That room in the west wing...suddenly lit up. It must be Vicky!" Liz thinks. She puts on a robe and goes into the hall. In the west wing, Liz walks through the dark hallway until she finds a door with light coming from underneath, but we know it's across the hall from the room Vicky entered. Muffled voices are heard. Liz opens the door and gasps in amazement at what she sees.
Thayer David's voiceover: "Little would one suspect by looking at the exterior of the great house at Collinwood that the house contained as many mysteries as it does... for in the west wing, numerous holes into time have been opened, each one leading to a different world that reflects the innermost thoughts of those who look there.

Episode 1497
Aired: Tuesday March 20 1972
Alexandra Moltke's voiceover: "My name is Victoria Winters. Through strange circumstances, I have journeyed through time more than once in my life, but always it seems for the same reason - to find love and cherish it in whatever world I was in. But this time, on this night, I journey to a sad and darkened world of a lonely bitter man... a man who I loved in a different time...in order to heal his heart and bring us together again...."
After a replay of Monday's close Vicky puts the necklace on, and when she lifts her head up, the room is lit up once again and she stands before the portrait of her that was in Burke's world. She turns to see Burke standing there. "I knew...." he says. "I knew you'd come back, Vicky. I've been waiting here for you." She smiles at him.
After the titles, Burke takes Vicky into his arms and kisses her. "You're alive...so very much alive," he says. "When you vanished, I thought it was all some sort of strange dream..." Vicky tells him it was no dream, and that she had traveled back to "my own reality." Burke grows interested. "How did you return here? Don't tell me you're some sort of witch who wiggles her nose and can vanish whenever she wants." Vicky says "I'm not a witch.... trust me." Burke tells her that "Even so, I find you quite bewitching." Vicky tells him that she thinks she's able to move from her world to his by putting the necklace on "inside this room. When it fell from my neck, I had returned home." Burke says "How strange. This house is filled with strange things. I've heard noises I can't explain. Sometimes they even sound like voices. I thought I once heard a telephone ringing in the empty room down the hall. All I found was an old disconnected phone. Sometimes this place really gives me the creeps. I don't know why I ever wanted it so badly. But when you're here, it's filled with life again." Vicky smiles, and says "In my world, Collinwood is filled with life, Burke. The family still lives there, and is larger than you remember. Carolyn and Roger are alive, even Barnabas, he..." Burke's eyes open up wide and he grabs her arms. "Barnabas? Alive? Vicky, what do you...." Vicky tells Burke to calm down. "Burke, in my world, Barnabas is the sweetest, gentlest man. He lives in the old house....with his wife and....his niece." Burke thinks a moment. "His wife...and his niece? So, he's....." Vicky says "He's like everyone else, Burke, there's nothing for you to be afraid of in my world, you'll see when...." Burke says "When what?" Vicky answers "When I bring you there. With me." Burke raises an eyebrow.
Burke thinks a moment. "You want me to go back there with you? We can't both wear your necklace, Vicky. I don't know how you plan to..." Vicky says "The last time I was here, I was holding a handkerchief in my hand when I returned. I brought it with me, since I was holding it. I asked a professor in my world about it, and he seemed to think that if I was holding onto something....or someone when I traveled through the passage between worlds, then they would come with me." Burke sighs and sits down. "It's such a strange thing to consider....leaving the world you know for something so strange...." Vicky answers "It's not so strange as the story you told me." Burke answers "Maybe you're right. Maybe in your world, things are much more normal." Vicky doesn't argue as we dissolve to David arguing with Julia and Quentin. David repeats his theory on how Brian uses different herbs to become different animals, and Quentin says that he still doesn't understand how that can be used against Brian. "If we could get to his supply and destroy it, then we'd deprive him of that power," Julia says. "He must have it hidden somewhere in his lab," David says. "When I was working there, he had a lot of different things locked up where no one could get to them." Quentin snaps "You're not going back to that lab, David, it's too dangerous." David answers "Well, you can't go in there. If he sees you, he'll know you're up to something. He'll never suspect me, he thinks I'm just a kid." Quentin says "Don't underestimate the man, David, he's not stupid. Your innocent kid act can only go so far." David says he has to take the chance to protect Quentin and Barnabas, and Quentin says "You have it backwards, I should be protecting you! For God's sake, David, at one time I nearly killed you! I owe you your safety, can't you see that?" David answers "That was a different reality to you. You never did that to me because you never died. You don't owe me anything!" Quentin says "You're being very gallant and even brave, David, but I don't want you to do anything foolish." Julia tells David that Quentin is right, but that he's been a lot of help. "If you find anything else out, let us know," she says. David grumbles and leaves, and we hear him think "Why do I even have to ask their permission? I'll just go to Brian's stupid lab and see if my plan works." David leaves.
In her lab, Lori looks through a microscope at a slide as the sun begins to shine on it. She smiles and takes a deep breath as Chris comes out of another room. "I think that cell you have might actually hold me... though I don't know if I can go on living like this," he says. Lori answers "You may not have to." I tried some of my serum on your blood and left it out overnight. The serum seems to have prevented the changes from occurring." Chris grows interested. "Really? Nothing happened when the sample you took was exposed to the light of the moon?" Lori says "No. And the moon will be full in just two more nights. I suppose the real test will come then. Perhaps if the full moon has no effect on it, the serum could be ready to be injected into you. But I should warn you, Chris, while it might prevent your blood from being altered, we have no idea what other effects might happen." Chris says he's willing to take that chance. Lori says that she'll need some coffee after that long night, and Chris says "Why don't we head into town to the Inn and I'll buy you a cup." She smiles, but right as they are about to leave, they're suddenly facing Brian. "Good morning," he says. Chris tries to slug him, but Brian suddenly pulls out a gun. "Such violent impulses, Mr. Jennings. I can see you got up on the wrong side of the bed." Lori snarls "What do you want here? Get out!" Brian snickers. "I want the two of you. I've been watching you, and I must admit that your silly experiments are getting close to destroying my own plans." Lori and Chris look at each other. "The serum," Lori says. "It WILL work! And you know it!" Brian nods. "All too well, my dear. That's precisely why I must stop you. I need Mr. Jennings to undergo his peculiar transformation...at least one last time." Chris wonders why.
Brian leads Lori and Chris into his own lab at gunpoint, and forces them into the cell where he has already placed Quentin's portrait on an easel. He locks them in as they both demand to know what he's doing. Lori is shocked to see the portrait. "How...how did you get this?" she gasps. Brian snaps "Never mind that. Suffice to say that I need it for my plans." He tosses the keys on a desk before opening a drawer that looks like a fishing tackle box - all sorts of separate compartments with different herbs in each one. "And my plans include settling a score with a certain Mr. Barnabas Collins...." he says pinching one herb into his hand. We dissolve back to Vicky and Burke. Burke tells Vicky he's not sure about going with her to her world. Vicky says "Weren't you hoping I would do that and come here to stay with you?" Burke smiles, and says "I suppose." Vicky goes on "But my world is not a sad and lonely place like this one. In mine, all the people you miss here are still alive. And in my world, many of those people would be overjoyed to see you again." Burke looks at Vicky skeptically. "Roger Collins, I suppose?" Vicky laughs a little. "He's changed a little," she says, and then after Burke gives her a surprised look, she admits "Well, maybe not Roger. But Carolyn will. And Elizabeth. And David, Burke, he's grown so much..." Burke thinks a moment. "There isn't much for me here, but....." Vicky says "But what?" Burke answers "It's not that simple. I have business interests here... Vicky, if what you told me about my fate in your world is true, that I died in some airplane crash five years ago....I'll have nothing to my name in your world. I'll be a complete pauper." Vicky realizes she didn't think of that. "I.... I don't know if I can ask you to give up everything like that," Vicky says. Burke smiles at her. "There's actually an answer, Vicky. Give me a day. I'll be able to see to things before....." Vicky looks at him and he takes her into his arms. "Before I go to your world with you. For good." He kisses her.
Alexandra Moltke's voiceover: "My name is Victoria Winters. Through strange circumstances, I have journeyed through time more than once in my life, but always it seems for the same reason - to find love and cherish it in whatever world I was in. But this time, on this night, I journey to a sad and darkened world of a lonely bitter man... a man who I loved in a different time...in order to heal his heart and bring us together again...."
After a replay of Monday's close Vicky puts the necklace on, and when she lifts her head up, the room is lit up once again and she stands before the portrait of her that was in Burke's world. She turns to see Burke standing there. "I knew...." he says. "I knew you'd come back, Vicky. I've been waiting here for you." She smiles at him.
After the titles, Burke takes Vicky into his arms and kisses her. "You're alive...so very much alive," he says. "When you vanished, I thought it was all some sort of strange dream..." Vicky tells him it was no dream, and that she had traveled back to "my own reality." Burke grows interested. "How did you return here? Don't tell me you're some sort of witch who wiggles her nose and can vanish whenever she wants." Vicky says "I'm not a witch.... trust me." Burke tells her that "Even so, I find you quite bewitching." Vicky tells him that she thinks she's able to move from her world to his by putting the necklace on "inside this room. When it fell from my neck, I had returned home." Burke says "How strange. This house is filled with strange things. I've heard noises I can't explain. Sometimes they even sound like voices. I thought I once heard a telephone ringing in the empty room down the hall. All I found was an old disconnected phone. Sometimes this place really gives me the creeps. I don't know why I ever wanted it so badly. But when you're here, it's filled with life again." Vicky smiles, and says "In my world, Collinwood is filled with life, Burke. The family still lives there, and is larger than you remember. Carolyn and Roger are alive, even Barnabas, he..." Burke's eyes open up wide and he grabs her arms. "Barnabas? Alive? Vicky, what do you...." Vicky tells Burke to calm down. "Burke, in my world, Barnabas is the sweetest, gentlest man. He lives in the old house....with his wife and....his niece." Burke thinks a moment. "His wife...and his niece? So, he's....." Vicky says "He's like everyone else, Burke, there's nothing for you to be afraid of in my world, you'll see when...." Burke says "When what?" Vicky answers "When I bring you there. With me." Burke raises an eyebrow.
Burke thinks a moment. "You want me to go back there with you? We can't both wear your necklace, Vicky. I don't know how you plan to..." Vicky says "The last time I was here, I was holding a handkerchief in my hand when I returned. I brought it with me, since I was holding it. I asked a professor in my world about it, and he seemed to think that if I was holding onto something....or someone when I traveled through the passage between worlds, then they would come with me." Burke sighs and sits down. "It's such a strange thing to consider....leaving the world you know for something so strange...." Vicky answers "It's not so strange as the story you told me." Burke answers "Maybe you're right. Maybe in your world, things are much more normal." Vicky doesn't argue as we dissolve to David arguing with Julia and Quentin. David repeats his theory on how Brian uses different herbs to become different animals, and Quentin says that he still doesn't understand how that can be used against Brian. "If we could get to his supply and destroy it, then we'd deprive him of that power," Julia says. "He must have it hidden somewhere in his lab," David says. "When I was working there, he had a lot of different things locked up where no one could get to them." Quentin snaps "You're not going back to that lab, David, it's too dangerous." David answers "Well, you can't go in there. If he sees you, he'll know you're up to something. He'll never suspect me, he thinks I'm just a kid." Quentin says "Don't underestimate the man, David, he's not stupid. Your innocent kid act can only go so far." David says he has to take the chance to protect Quentin and Barnabas, and Quentin says "You have it backwards, I should be protecting you! For God's sake, David, at one time I nearly killed you! I owe you your safety, can't you see that?" David answers "That was a different reality to you. You never did that to me because you never died. You don't owe me anything!" Quentin says "You're being very gallant and even brave, David, but I don't want you to do anything foolish." Julia tells David that Quentin is right, but that he's been a lot of help. "If you find anything else out, let us know," she says. David grumbles and leaves, and we hear him think "Why do I even have to ask their permission? I'll just go to Brian's stupid lab and see if my plan works." David leaves.
In her lab, Lori looks through a microscope at a slide as the sun begins to shine on it. She smiles and takes a deep breath as Chris comes out of another room. "I think that cell you have might actually hold me... though I don't know if I can go on living like this," he says. Lori answers "You may not have to." I tried some of my serum on your blood and left it out overnight. The serum seems to have prevented the changes from occurring." Chris grows interested. "Really? Nothing happened when the sample you took was exposed to the light of the moon?" Lori says "No. And the moon will be full in just two more nights. I suppose the real test will come then. Perhaps if the full moon has no effect on it, the serum could be ready to be injected into you. But I should warn you, Chris, while it might prevent your blood from being altered, we have no idea what other effects might happen." Chris says he's willing to take that chance. Lori says that she'll need some coffee after that long night, and Chris says "Why don't we head into town to the Inn and I'll buy you a cup." She smiles, but right as they are about to leave, they're suddenly facing Brian. "Good morning," he says. Chris tries to slug him, but Brian suddenly pulls out a gun. "Such violent impulses, Mr. Jennings. I can see you got up on the wrong side of the bed." Lori snarls "What do you want here? Get out!" Brian snickers. "I want the two of you. I've been watching you, and I must admit that your silly experiments are getting close to destroying my own plans." Lori and Chris look at each other. "The serum," Lori says. "It WILL work! And you know it!" Brian nods. "All too well, my dear. That's precisely why I must stop you. I need Mr. Jennings to undergo his peculiar transformation...at least one last time." Chris wonders why.
Brian leads Lori and Chris into his own lab at gunpoint, and forces them into the cell where he has already placed Quentin's portrait on an easel. He locks them in as they both demand to know what he's doing. Lori is shocked to see the portrait. "How...how did you get this?" she gasps. Brian snaps "Never mind that. Suffice to say that I need it for my plans." He tosses the keys on a desk before opening a drawer that looks like a fishing tackle box - all sorts of separate compartments with different herbs in each one. "And my plans include settling a score with a certain Mr. Barnabas Collins...." he says pinching one herb into his hand. We dissolve back to Vicky and Burke. Burke tells Vicky he's not sure about going with her to her world. Vicky says "Weren't you hoping I would do that and come here to stay with you?" Burke smiles, and says "I suppose." Vicky goes on "But my world is not a sad and lonely place like this one. In mine, all the people you miss here are still alive. And in my world, many of those people would be overjoyed to see you again." Burke looks at Vicky skeptically. "Roger Collins, I suppose?" Vicky laughs a little. "He's changed a little," she says, and then after Burke gives her a surprised look, she admits "Well, maybe not Roger. But Carolyn will. And Elizabeth. And David, Burke, he's grown so much..." Burke thinks a moment. "There isn't much for me here, but....." Vicky says "But what?" Burke answers "It's not that simple. I have business interests here... Vicky, if what you told me about my fate in your world is true, that I died in some airplane crash five years ago....I'll have nothing to my name in your world. I'll be a complete pauper." Vicky realizes she didn't think of that. "I.... I don't know if I can ask you to give up everything like that," Vicky says. Burke smiles at her. "There's actually an answer, Vicky. Give me a day. I'll be able to see to things before....." Vicky looks at him and he takes her into his arms. "Before I go to your world with you. For good." He kisses her.

Episode 1496
Aired: Monday March 19, 1972
In a repeat of Friday's close, Vicky stands in the lit up west wing room, sometime in the future. She turns to see Harrison, standing before her looking worried. "Harrison!" she says. "How...how did you...." Harrison says "It's difficult to explain quickly. But if you're here, you must have crossed over accidentally during my experiments." Vicky says "Experiments? What sort of experiments?" Harrison answers "Experiments in time. It all began back in your time, in 1972. Somehow, the fabric of time itself was torn, and that rip grew and multiplied, opening up enough rifts through different time bands that Collinwood itself will cease to exist in my time unless I find a way to stop the process in yours." Vicky says "All the different rooms in the west wing... each one opening to a different time and place..." Harrison says "Exactly. And all overlapping. Just the way our two worlds are overlapping now, when I tried simply to reach back into your time and close a rift focused on this room. I didn't think anyone would be in here." Vicky says "You're going to close up the world that exists in this room, in my time?" Harrison says "Yes, I must." Vicky says "No! You can't! At least not yet, not until I get back there, one more time!" Harrison wonders what she means, as we cut to outside the room, where Brian has been listening to everything they have said.
After the titles, Harrison tells Vicky that traveling "between the alternating worlds that have been opened" can be "quite dangerous." Vicky says that she has seen the "same alternate world" more than once, and has already been there. "You make it all sound so random, but there was something, someone that drew me to that particular place." Harrison nods. "There was a theory... somehow the perception of such places has something to do with your own mind. What you want to see, what thoughts in your subconscious might be triggering... this someone that you mention...someone important to you?" Vicky says "Yes, very much. Someone who needs me." Harrison answers "That certainly makes sense. But it doesn't change what I must do, in your own world of 1972, the one I left to return here." Vicky looks around and then studies the portrait of David. "This is so strange....looking at the portrait of a man that I only know as a boy. When is now?" Harrison smiles, and says "To you, a possible future. To me, a world that must be protected in the past. The source of the disturbance is back in your world, somewhere in Collinwood, perhaps in this very room. I must return there with you and close the fissure, or else it might tear Collinwood and all of the realities apart." Outside, Brian has been listening in fascination. "What sort of secrets does this house hold...." Brian thinks as he looks at Quentin's portrait. "Perhaps if my plans fail here, there may be a way to escape into one of these other worlds that fellow mentioned....a possibility to be sure...." Vicky continues "If you can take me back to my world, then you can take me to Burke! You can help me bring him to my world as well!" Harrison thinks a moment and then answers "Yes, Miss Winters. I can do what you ask." Outside the room, there are the sounds of footsteps. Brian hears them and grabs the portrait before ducking down a corridor. "I should make my exit while I can..." he thinks.
At Brian's laboratory, the lights come on. A very satisfied Brian enters with Quentin's portrait and places it against a wall. He smiles and thinks "Step one is now complete....the noose is tightening around your neck, Quentin...all I need for my success are a few other key ingredients...." Brian picks up the portrait and takes in around a corner. Next, we see him unlock the barred cell he had once placed Chris Jennings inside. He puts the portrait upon an easel inside of it and locks the bars with a chuckle. Back at Collinwood, Harrison tells Vicky that he must repair the holes forming through time once they return to 1972 by altering the room with his ring. "I can create the conditions for you to retrieve your Mr. Devlin once we return," he adds. Vicky looks around and regrets not being able to explore Harrison's time when Harrison says he will need to keep the secret of how they will return from her. Vicky is curious, but Harrison smiles calmly at her. "It's better you don't understand how that all happens. All you need to understand is to be with Mr. Devlin." Vicky thinks a moment and says "I never told you his last name...I only called him Burke. How did you...." Harrison shrugs and says "I really shouldn't say. Just trust me." Vicky smiles at him.
Quentin has been listening to Julia tell him about how Brian uses herbs to transform himself. "I've never heard of such a form of supernatural art," he says. Julia says that Angelique thought it was very old form of shamanism, and that they will need to do more research in order to fight him, especially "now that he's been threatening Barnabas." Quentin asks how, and Julia tells Quentin how Brian turned into a bat. Quentin is stunned, adding "And not just any bat, I'm sure..." Julia says that if Brian brought Barnabas' curse back, "there might be no way to save him." David enters the room, and the two of them clam up. David says that he overheard them talking, and they shouldn't keep secrets from him. "I don't see what telling you about dangerous stuff beyond your control can do," Quentin says. David says that he's read some things about Brian's "powers with those herbs" and "even asked Professor Stokes about it." Shocked, Julia said "You talked to Stokes? What did you tell him?" David tells Julia to relax, since he didn't "give away any secrets. But there might be a way to at least figure out how Brian does things. For instance, did you know that specific herbs lead to specific transformations, at least that's what my book said." Julia answers "We had been thinking that from something that happened the other night. What else have you found out?" David says "A few other things. Admit it, you both need my help." Quentin and Julia look at each other.
Harrison asks Vicky if she's ready, and she says she is. A storm suddenly starts to rage outside the window, with lightning flashing. "We'll need to hurry," Harrison says. "The storm may interfere with..." and suddenly Vicky stands in the darkened empty room of 1972. She looks around and calls for Harrison, but there is no answer. "What should I do..." Vicky thinks as an identical storm begins to rage outside the dusty window in her time. In a flash of lightning, she sees the gleam of the jeweled necklace she wore before to find Burke. She picks it up and takes a deep breath.
