After a repeat of Monday's close and the titles, Barnabas looks at Angelique and Vicky and says "Uncle Barnabas?" Angelique says she can explain, but then Sarah pipes in with "I'm so glad I got to come here from England to stay with you." Barnabas looks at her and says "England?" Sarah says "Yes, Uncle Barnabas. Don't you remember? I used to see you all the time there." Barnabas smiles and says "Yes, of course I remember. You must be tired after your long trip, Sarah." She nods, and says "Yes, but I wanted to wait up and see you and tell you that I got here just fine." She gives him another hug, and says "Goodnight, Uncle Barnabas, Auntie Angelique. I'll see you in the morning. Can Vicky take me to my room now? Vicky is my friend." Barnabas nods yes, and as Sarah passes Julia she stops a moment and says "Oh, I'm sorry. I should say goodnight to you too." Julia says goodnight and Vicky takes Sarah upstairs. Barnabas asks Angelique what happened, and she says that "Sarah certainly seems happy to be here." Barnabas turns Angelique to face him and says "What happened? Tell me." Angelique says "It was really Vicky's idea. I tried another spell." Barnabas gets a little angry and says "Another spell? You don't know the risk you are taking!" Angelique answers "Barnabas, I certainly understand the risks of powers I've understood for a long long time." Barnabas counters that every time she uses her powers, she may be drawn more under the influence of Nicholas. Julia chimes in "Yes, that's very true. Even if you use the powers for any purpose, a connection between you and the source of those powers will grow stronger." Angelique snaps "And when did you become an expert on witchcraft?" Barnabas replies "Please, let's not argue about this now. My only concern is for Sarah." Angelique says "Sarah is fine. What would Julia have done anyway? Hypnotized her to think she was someone else? Perhaps another cousin from England? What did I do that was any different? Even Vicky could see that." Julia says "Barnabas, is that why you brought me here?" Barnabas answers "Sarah had no memory when I left this house. I didn't know what to do." Julia says "Well, I hate to admit it, but Angelique seems to have solved a lot of problems for us all. I mean, how else could you explain Sarah? Especially to everyone who has seen her spirit." Barnabas thinks a moment and says "Everyone who has seen her spirit.... that's only all of us and Stokes, and....." Julia finishes the sentence "...and Maggie Evans." Barnabas doesn't like the sound of that.
Julia assures Barnabas that Maggie's memories of "her trauma" are completely gone, and that seeing Sarah will not reawaken them. Barnabas is not so sure, but Julia says "Besides, even if Maggie did remember anything, she thought of Sarah as a spirit, not a real live little girl. It would be easy to convince her that it was a hallucination brought on by her neuroses." Barnabas says "Perhaps. But I think we should make sure first." Angelique and Julia wonder what he means. At Collinwood the next morning, Alan and Liz are having some coffee in the drawing room. They are trying to figure out a date for the wedding. Liz says that "any day will be fine, as long as the family can all be here." Alan looks over some schedules and says that it may be his daughters' schedule that causes the problems. Liz tells him that after all these years, she's willing to wait a little longer and he kisses her. Barnabas and Angelique enter, and after the coffee is offered, Barnabas tells Liz he'd like to talk to her about something. Liz says certainly, and Barnabas explains how "a niece of mine has come to stay with me from England." Surprised, Liz asks Barnabas "I thought you were the last of the Collins line in England." Barnabas smiles and says "Well, it's a rather complicated arrangement. There were some distant cousins of mine who had some children who I looked after for some time. One was a little girl named Sarah. Her parents traveled Europe a great deal, and I was made her legal guardian. She refers to me as her Uncle, and I've always thought of her like a niece." Liz smiles and asks if Sarah will be staying long, and Barnabas says "Well, yes. You see, her parents are both dead." Liz says "Oh, I'm so sorry." Barnabas continues "I was contacted....by their lawyer, and I agreed to see to Sarah." Liz says "Oh, that's wonderful of you, Barnabas. When will she arrive?" Barnabas says "Well, that's just it. I was expecting her in a few weeks, but she suddenly arrived last night. She stayed at the old house." Liz says "Oh, well why didn't you bring her here now? I'd love to meet her." Angelique says "Well, she's very tired after her trip. She's still asleep. Vicky is keeping an eye on her for us." Alan says to Barnabas "She's a big jet lagged after her trip, eh?" Barnabas, confused, says "Yes, I suppose so." Angelique tells Liz "The thing is, we will probably need someone to look after Sarah, to see to her schooling and so forth. We thought of Vicky, but Vicky is no longer governess here." Liz says "No, but I'm sure we can find someone." Barnabas says "Julia told us that Maggie Evans is back. Perhaps this is all fortuitous timing." Liz says "Yes, that might work out just fine. How old is Sarah? Is she David's age?" Barnabas answers "A little younger. Though I'm sure they will....get along." Liz tells Barnabas she'll go upstairs and get Maggie. Alan asks if anyone wants more coffee from the kitchen, and Barnabas says no. Alan leaves. Angelique says to Barnabas "David! David will recognize her." Barnabas takes Angelique's hands and says "We don't have to worry about David any more than we have to worry about Vicky. Right now I'm more concerned with Maggie Evans."
At Nicholas' house, Julia tells Nicholas that "things are going even better than we intended." Nicholas asks how, and Julia answers "Sarah will be introduced to the family as a niece of Barnabas Collins. She'll be in the house with Maggie Evans as her governess. I suggested that to Barnabas this morning. Sarah should settle in quite nicely and become familiar to everyone around the house." Nicholas looks at Julia and says "And when do we kill her?" Julia smiles and answers "Always so quick to kill. Jungle predators play with their kill before finishing the job. Why shouldn't we?" Nicholas says "What kind of games do you intend to play? You know what the master wants of us." Julia snaps "I think I know the master better than you, Nicholas. I will handle this. Besides.... there is an element in all of this I was not expecting. Harrison Collins is someone we must deal with somehow. We must get that ring from his hand and discover its powers." Nicholas says "I've tried, but he has been too clever, I ..." Julia snaps "Let me handle it. I know you are clever, Nicholas, but just let me handle it." Julia smiles as we cut back to Collinwood where Maggie comes downstairs and says hello to Barnabas and Angelique. Barnabas explains everything about his long lost niece, and Maggie is thrilled that "someone might need a governess around here." Barnabas says "Her name is Sarah." Maggie shows no reaction, and Barnabas says "Didn't you once tell me you knew someone named Sarah?" Maggie says "Me? No, I don't think so. I've never known anyone named Sarah." Barnabas apologizes, saying he must be thinking of someone else. Angelique says that Maggie should come to the old house after breakfast to meet Sarah. Maggie says fine, and thanks Barnabas for the job opportunity. She leaves the foyer, and Angelique says "It seems she remembers nothing. Perhaps Julia was right." Barnabas says "Yes, though I wish Julia was here to make sure. Where did she go this morning? I thought she was coming here." Angelique says "I don't know. Perhaps she had some business in town to take care of." Barnabas thinks that over a moment, and then he and Angelique leave.
Sarah is sleeping in her bed, though she's tossing and turning a bit. As we zoom out, we see she is in the mirror being watched by Julia. "Yes, Sarah....sleep....sleep....." Julia says. "And dream....dream of your life as you once knew it Sarah....the dream will seem so real.....dream....dream....." We zoom in on Sarah as she starts dreaming, and after the swirl effect, Sarah is in the same room, only the furniture is older and she is dressed in her 1795 clothes. Vicky comes in, dressed in her 1795 clothes, and frantically tells Sarah "Sarah! You mustn't tell anyone I was here! I have to hide!" Sarah asks why, and Vicky tells her she wouldn't understand. From outside, we hear yells of "Find the witch! We must burn the witch!" as Vicky gets more scared. Sarah runs to the window and yells "Leave her alone! She's not a witch! She's my friend!" When Sarah turns around to tell Vicky, Vicky is standing with a noose around her neck. "You must run, Sarah! Save yourself!" Vicky says. Sarah screams and runs out of the room. She passes Naomi (Joan Bennett) in the hallway and says "Mother! Mother! You have to help me! Vicky's been hurt!" Naomi seems in a trance, and says "I cannot help you...I cannot help anyone. It's too late for that." Sarah tugs at Naomi's dress and pleads with her to help, but Naomi walks away and says "It's too late to stop him.... " Naomi walks away as Sarah runs after her. But when Sarah turns the corner, she sees Angelique, also dressed in her 1795 outfit. Angelique holds out a bowl with steaming stuff inside "Sarah, you must drink this....it will cure your fever....I made it from my mother's recipe...." Angelique says. Sarah says she doesn't want it, and pleads for Angelique to help Vicky. Sarah looks in the bowl and suddenly some drops of blood fall in it. When Sarah looks up, Angelique is bleeding from a bullet wound in her shoulder. Sarah screams again, and Angelique says "Do you know what it means to die, Sarah? Do you?" Sarah screams "No! No!" but Angelique says "We both know that you do, Sarah.... we both know that you are already dead..." Sarah screams again and runs away. Suddenly, she finds herself in the cemetery as we hear Angelique repeat "Do you know what it means to die?" Sarah runs, but stumbles on the steps of the mausoleum. She walks inside slowly, and as she enters, the door of the secret room opens and Barnabas comes out. Sarah says "Barnabas! What are you doing here?" He says nothing, but as he comes closer, Sarah sees he has blood on his chin as he opens his mouth to reveal huge fangs....." Sarah screams herself awake and Vicky runs into the room. Vicky asks her what is wrong and Sarah says "It was terrible...horrible..." Vicky says "Oh, Sarah. You must have had a bad dream." Sarah says "No! It wasn't a dream! It was real! It was real! Barnabas had a bloody face! He had a bloody face!" Vicky doesn't know what to think as we pull back and see Julia, watching everything in the mirror and laughing cruelly.

Episode 1376
Aired: Monday October 4, 1971
In a repeat of Friday's close, Angelique's spell has indeed produced a living, breathing Sarah, but she lies semi-conscious by the stairs where her spirit appeared. Barnabas goes to her and touches her hand. "It's warm!" he says. "Sarah! Sarah! Wake up!" Vicky looks at the exhausted Angelique and says "Did it work?" Angelique says "It would seem so." Barnabas continues to try to revive Sarah, who finally opens her eyes and sits up. She looks around for a moment as Barnabas says "Yes...look around you, Sarah. You are home! You are home with me again!" Sarah looks at Barnabas and says "With you?" Barnabas says yes, and Sarah says "But who are you?" Barnabas looks at Angelique and Vicky dismayed as Sarah studies him.
After the titles, Barnabas asks Sarah "Do you know who I am?" and Sarah shakes her head no. He asks "What do you remember?" Sarah says "I was somewhere else....how did I get here?" Barnabas tells her not to be frightened, and Vicky moves towards her. "Sarah, do you remember me?" she asks. Sarah says "Is my name Sarah?" Barnabas tells Angelique "It seems she remembers nothing at all!" Angelique says that her memory may return "in time." Sarah says she's very tired, and Vicky asks her if she'd like to go upstairs and lie down. Suddenly, Sarah says "Yes, Vicky. May I please go to my room?" Surprised, Vicky says "Sarah! You knew my name! You remember your room?" Sarah looks confused for a moment and says "I...I don't know how I knew that." Angelique steps in and says "Dear, you've had a bad dream, that's all. Vicky will take you upstairs where you can lie down for a while...." but before she can finish, Sarah passes out into Vicky's arms. Barnabas gets scared, but Vicky tells him that Sarah is only asleep and "feels very warm and alive." As Vicky puts Sarah on the sofa to sleep, Barnabas ponders aloud "Warm and alive....but with no memory of who she is. Just like Daphne. Oh, why didn't I think of that as a possibility?" Angelique tells Barnabas that Sarah remembered Vicky and her room somehow, but Barnabas answers that it may not mean that Sarah will ever remember who she really is. Meanwhile at Nicholas' house, Nicholas responds to a knock on the door, and it's Julia. She comes in with a smirk as Nicholas asks "Well? How is Miss Evans?" Julia scowls and says "Nicholas, you certainly have a focused mind. Miss Evans is right where she is supposed to be. In fact, everyone is where they are supposed to be. Everything is falling into place." Nicholas asks what she means and Julia smiles and answers "Our dear Angelique has made good use of her new powers tonight. She has given back to Barnabas something he wanted very very dearly.... and soon the pieces will fall into place to take it away forever..." as she finishes with a sneer, we dissolve to the innocent Sarah, sleeping on the couch at the old house.
Vicky watches Sarah sleep as Barnabas and Angelique pace a bit. Angelique tells Barnabas that she thinks Sarah will recover her memory since the had recognized Vicky. Barnabas answers that "Perhaps her loss of memory is a blessing." Angelique asks why, and Barnabas answers "The shock of knowing her true identity may be too much for that child to bear. How do you tell an innocent little girl that she died almost two hundred years ago?" Angelique looks at Sarah concerned, and Vicky says "Barnabas is right. If Sarah remembers who she is, she may even remember her own death. That would be too horrible!" Barnabas continues "There may be a way for her to avoid such tragedy." Angelique clutches her amulet, but Barnabas says "Julia Hoffman may be able to suppress those memories with hypnosis. Perhaps she could even suggest an identity for Sarah, similar to what Petofi did with Daphne." Angelique answers "But what he did didn't last, and his power was much more than what Julia Hoffman can do." Vicky disagrees, and says "Suggestions like that might take hold better in the mind of a child than of a grown woman, Angelique. It might be possible." Barnabas says he will go to Collinwood to find Julia, and tells Vicky and Angelique to watch Sarah. Vicky asks "What will we do if she wakes up and remembers?" Barnabas thinks a beat, but can only say "I don't know. I'll be back shortly." We pull back to see Nicholas and Julia are watching this through Nicholas' mirror. Julia says "Well, I'd better be getting to Collinwood. I mustn't keep Barnabas waiting." They look at each other and laugh.
Angelique looks out the window wondering what's taking Barnabas so long. Vicky looks at Angelique and says "Perhaps.....no, that wouldn't be good..." Angelique, curious, asks what she was about to say. Vicky looks out the window first, and then back at Angelique. "Perhaps you could do something about Sarah's memory." Angelique thinks a moment, and says "Perhaps I could, but I have no idea how Barnabas would feel about it." Vicky argues "Look, I'm sure Julia Hoffman can do something for her, but not as much as you can if you have your powers back. I know that! I've seen what you can do. " Angelique skeptically asks "What would you have me think for this child? I have no idea what Barnabas has in mind." Vicky agrees, saying "That's right. We'd never be able to explain a lost sister to the family. Barnabas said he was the last English relative." Angelique looks at Sarah and muses "It always struck me funny how Barnabas' sister was so much younger than him, and yet they were so close." Vicky nods, and says "People had children differently back then. Look at how Barnabas and his Uncle Jeremiah were about the same age." Angelique smiles and says "Yes, Vicky. You're right. Barnabas is old enough to be Sarah's uncle, isn't he?" She starts to finger the amulet again as Vicky smiles. Meanwhile at Collinwood, Barnabas enters and finds no one there. He calls for Julia, but there is no answer. He walks to the drawing room and starts to write her a note at the desk, but then he hears the doors open. He calls "Julia, is that you?" but when he steps out of the drawing room, he is shocked to see Maggie Evans standing before him.
Before Barnabas can say anything, Maggie says "Hello Barnabas! It's so good to see you again!" He smiles nervously and says "Maggie...it's good to see you looking so well." She tells him how Julia brought her back to Collinwood and that "I certainly hope to stay. I suppose it depends on what happens with David." Barnabas asks "David?" Maggie explains how she will become the governess again if David decides not to go to boarding school. Barnabas starts thinking about this and says "Really?" when Julia enters. Maggie says hello, but then excuses herself to go upstairs. Barnabas leads Julia into the drawing room and closes the door. "Why didn't you tell me Maggie Evans was back here?" he says gruffly. Julia plays innocent and says "I was going to tell you tonight, Barnabas. I had to go into town first." Barnabas says "Can you assure me she won't remember anything?" Julia says "Yes, of course. I wouldn't have released her otherwise." Barnabas snaps "That wasn't just your choice to make." Julia says "Barnabas, don't be so upset. Maggie is fine. She won't remember anything, you have nothing to worry about." Julia pours herself a brandy and then adds "Besides, if she claimed you were a vampire, she'd only wind up back in the sanitarium anyway." Barnabas looks at Julia curiously after this remark and says "Are you feeling all right?" Julia says "Of course, why?" Barnabas says "It's nothing. You just seem different somehow." Julia says "Maybe I'm just happy to see Maggie all right." Barnabas says "Perhaps. In any case, that wasn't what I came to see you about." Julia takes a drink and says "Oh? What did you want to talk to me about?" Barnabas says "Sarah." Julia plays dumb and asks "Sarah? Did she appear again?" Barnabas answers "Much more than that. We conducted Petofi's spell. Sarah is alive again." Julia feigns surprise. Meanwhile back at the old house, Sarah is sitting up, awake. Angelique asks her if she wants to wait in her room, but Sarah says "No, I'd rather wait here. Thank you." Angelique looks at Vicky and says "I hope this works out." Vicky says "I'm sure it will. I'm sure Barnabas will understand. Look how happy she is now." Sarah reads a book with Vicky and smiles. Barnabas and Julia enter the house, and Angelique goes to see them. "How is she?" Barnabas asks. Angelique starts to explain, and tells Julia "I don't think we'll need you to do what Barnabas asked." Confused, Barnabas asks "Why not?" Suddenly, Sarah drops her book and runs to Barnabas. She gives him a big hug, and through his surprise, he smiles "Sarah! You know me!" Sarah giggles and says "Of course I know you, Uncle Barnabas!" Confused, Barnabas looks at Angelique as Julia studies the situation.
In a repeat of Friday's close, Angelique's spell has indeed produced a living, breathing Sarah, but she lies semi-conscious by the stairs where her spirit appeared. Barnabas goes to her and touches her hand. "It's warm!" he says. "Sarah! Sarah! Wake up!" Vicky looks at the exhausted Angelique and says "Did it work?" Angelique says "It would seem so."

You are home with me again!" Sarah looks at Barnabas and says "With you?" Barnabas says yes, and Sarah says "But who are you?" Barnabas looks at Angelique and Vicky dismayed as Sarah studies him.
After the titles, Barnabas asks Sarah "Do you know who I am?" and Sarah shakes her head no. He asks "What do you remember?" Sarah says "I was somewhere else....how did I get here?" Barnabas tells her not to be frightened, and Vicky moves towards her. "Sarah, do you remember me?" she asks. Sarah says "Is my name Sarah?"

Barnabas asks. Angelique starts to explain, and tells Julia "I don't think we'll need you to do what Barnabas asked." Confused, Barnabas asks "Why not?" Suddenly, Sarah drops her book and runs to Barnabas. She gives him a big hug, and through his surprise, he smiles "Sarah! You know me!" Sarah giggles and says "Of course I know you, Uncle Barnabas!" Confused, Barnabas looks at Angelique as Julia studies the situation.

Episode 1375
Aired: Friday October 1, 1971
Angelique is setting up the circle of candles in the old house when Vicky enters, carrying a basket. "Did I get the right plants and herbs?" she asks. Angelique looks over the basket and says "Yes, you did very well. I just wish I was more sure about this." Vicky says "I know, I felt very strange gathering these things, especially considering all that's happened in the past. But we're doing this to help Barnabas, not to hurt him." Angelique says "Yes, but there is always the danger of what the power might do once it is unleashed." Vicky answers "What kind of harm could be done by bringing a little girl back into this world?" Angelique looks at Vicky and says "I don't know. Perhaps you're right. But we must be careful, I do not wish Barnabas to know how this has happened. We must make it appear as the same ceremony as before." Vicky says "I feel strange about hiding something from him." Angelique says "It's only necessary for my sake. I don't want to lose his love and trust, Vicky. I know you can understand that." Vicky looks at Angelique and says "It's funny, isn't it? How under different circumstances two people can be totally different towards each other." Angelique smiles at Vicky and says "I feel better knowing that now we are friends." Vicky smiles back and hands Angelique the basket.
After the titles, Julia and Maggie enter Collinwood. Maggie is happy to be back there, and takes the place in as Julia looks to see who is home. Roger comes downstairs and is very happy to see Maggie. He asks her how she is, and she answers "fine, I'm just not sure why I'm here. From what Julia told me, David is off at school." Roger says yes, though "no final decision" has been made as to whether or not David will stay at school. Julia asks Roger if Maggie could stay, "at least until the decision has been made. That should give her enough time to adjust." Roger thinks a moment, and says "I don't see why not. Besides, perhaps if David returns from school and finds you back here, it will give him incentive to stay. I must admit, as much as I was in favor of the whole boarding school idea, I miss him greatly. This house is so quiet without him." We cut to Quentin angrily snapping at Harrison "I don't know what you're talking about!" The two are still in Julia's room where we left off. Harrison answers "Quentin, please. Don't deny the truth. I can't tell you anything more about myself if you don't at least admit that I know about you." Quentin looks threateningly at Harrison and says "You, my friend, have a very bad habit of poking your nose into other people's business." Harrison answers "You must listen to me! You're the only one here I know I can trust!" There is the sound of some voices outside, and Quentin peeks outside the door to see. He looks at Harrison and says with a smile "It looks like Dr. Hoffman is back. You'd better finish your business here pretty quickly." Harrison pushes Quentin aside and starts out the door. "When you are ready to be honest with me, I shall be honest with you. You know I'm telling the truth. Think about it." Harrison leaves, and Quentin follows, closing Julia's door and thinking a moment.
Julia leads Maggie down the hall to her old room, and they bump into Quentin. Quentin is surprised to see Maggie, and says hello. Julia says that "Maggie is well enough to come back to Collinwood." Quentin smiles and says "Well, I hope this time you won't leave us so abruptly" while kissing her hand. Maggie answers "I may have lost my memory for a while, but I certainly remember your charm, Quentin." Julia continues to lead Maggie, but Quentin stops her, saying "Julia, if Maggie is well, perhaps we should let her find her own way to her old room, eh?" Maggie says she'd like that, and Julia says okay. Quentin looks Julia over, and Julia asks him if anything is wrong. "No, nothing. I just thought you looked a little tired, that's all." Julia smiles and says "Well, I left quite early to go to Windcliff, and the drive took longer than I thought." Quentin answers "Well, maybe you should get some rest." Julia says "Perhaps, I want to make sure Maggie is okay." Quentin walks away, and Julia scowls at him. At the old house, Angelique has made a small amulet by placing the herbs into a small pouch. She puts it around her neck and hides it beneath her dress. "There," she says. "Barnabas will never know I am wearing this." Vicky asks what it is, and Angelique answers "Something to increase the power of the spell. These herbs should hold Sarah's spirit here long enough for me to share some of my life force with it. If there is enough time, we should be successful." Barnabas arrives, and is surprised to see Vicky. She tells him that she felt bad that Sarah "didn't stay" and felt that they should "attempt the spell another time. Perhaps if we didn't break the circle, it might work." Barnabas is doubtful, and wonders aloud if he wants to "experience losing Sarah again." Angelique says "Barnabas, it's worth another try." Vicky agrees, and Barnabas wonders about her enthusiasm. "I don't think any of us have the kind of powers necessary to make that spell work." Angelique puts her hand over the spot where the amulet is.
Vicky tries to convince Barnabas to give the spell another try, and before he can ask her about this, Angelique takes his hand. "Barnabas," she says. "I think Vicky is right. We should try this again. You and I, in all the things we have done.....we've cost so many so much. What better way to give a life back than to do this?" Barnabas looks at her and says "There are other ways to give life back to this world, Angelique." Angelique smiles and says "I know. In time, perhaps. But now, there is one life to restore. One wandering lonely spirit that still loves her brother." Barnabas is moved by this, and agrees to the ceremony. The candles are lit and the three stand surrounding them, holding hands. Angelique begins the incantation, and the winds begin to blow. As Angelique demands the spirit of Sarah Collins to come forth, claps of thunder are heard and suddenly the doors of the old house blow open. "Come to us, Sarah, do not be afraid!" Angelique yells over the wind. Slowly, Sarah's spirit begins to appear. Barnabas starts to take a step, but Vicky stops him, saying "Barnabas! Don't break the circle!" He looks over towards Sarah and says "Sarah! It's your brother Barnabas!" Sarah looks at them but says nothing. "Sarah Collins, you will wander the Earth no more...you will have a home, and you will have life!" Angelique says. Sarah looks scared, and Barnabas says "Do not be frightened, Sarah! We will be together very soon!" Sarah yells "Barnabas! I'm scared!" Barnabas yells back "No, don't be afraid! I am right here!" Vicky suddenly gets very scared and says "Angelique! What's happening! Look at her!" To Angelique's horror, Sarah's face begins to flicker, and appears to be turning into a skull...
Sarah, while flickering between face and skull, starts to scream "It hurts! It hurts! Make it stop!" Vicky yells "Angelique! Do something!" Angelique looks at Sarah and yells "I command you to absorb the life force which I have provided....you must take it in and absorb it! Death has no place in you! There is no sanctuary for death within you, Sarah Collins!" Sarah is still alternating between face and skull and yelling about the pain as Barnabas says "I must stop this! This cannot go on!" He is just about to leave the circle when Angelique yells one last time "Sarah Collins....you will not die!" Suddenly, Angelique screams and faints, and Barnabas calls out "Angelique!" as she falls. We also hear Sarah scream, and the candles blow out and the room goes black. Vicky calls out for Barnabas, who lights a candle and says he's right there. Vicky asks where Angelique is, and as more candles are lit and the room gets brighter, Angelique is lying on the floor. Barnabas goes to her and tries to revive her. "Angelique! Are you all right? Please be all right...." Angelique starts to awaken and tells Barnabas she is all right "but very tired. I feel like...I feel like something drained my energies..." Vicky looks to the side and yells "Barnabas! Angelique! Look!" They look towards the staircase, and laying on the floor, eyes closed but breathing deeply, is Sarah. Barnabas goes to her and touches her hand. "It's warm!" he says. "Sarah! Sarah! Wake up!" Vicky looks at the exhausted Angelique and says "Did it work?" Angelique says "It would seem so." Barnabas continues to try to revive Sarah, who finally opens her eyes and sits up. She looks around for a moment as Barnabas says "Yes...look around you, Sarah. You are home! You are home with me again!" Sarah looks at Barnabas and says "With you?" Barnabas says yes, and Sarah says "But who are you?" Barnabas looks at Angelique and Vicky dismayed as Sarah studies him.
Angelique is setting up the circle of candles in the old house when Vicky enters, carrying a basket. "Did I get the right plants and herbs?" she asks. Angelique looks over the basket and says "Yes, you did very well. I just wish I was more sure about this." Vicky says "I know, I felt very strange gathering these things, especially considering all that's happened in the past. But we're doing this to help Barnabas, not to hurt him." Angelique says "Yes, but there is always the danger of what the power might do once it is unleashed." Vicky answers "What kind of harm could be done by bringing a little girl back into this world?" Angelique looks at Vicky and says "I don't know. Perhaps you're right. But we must be careful, I do not wish Barnabas to know how this has happened. We must make it appear as the same ceremony as before." Vicky says "I feel strange about hiding something from him." Angelique says "It's only necessary for my sake. I don't want to lose his love and trust, Vicky. I know you can understand that." Vicky looks at Angelique and says "It's funny, isn't it? How under different circumstances two people can be totally different towards each other." Angelique smiles at Vicky and says "I feel better knowing that now we are friends." Vicky smiles back and hands Angelique the basket.
After the titles, Julia and Maggie enter Collinwood. Maggie is happy to be back there, and takes the place in as Julia looks to see who is home. Roger comes downstairs and is very happy to see Maggie. He asks her how she is, and she answers "fine, I'm just not sure why I'm here. From what Julia told me, David is off at school." Roger says yes, though "no final decision" has been made as to whether or not David will stay at school. Julia asks Roger if Maggie could stay, "at least until the decision has been made. That should give her enough time to adjust." Roger thinks a moment, and says "I don't see why not. Besides, perhaps if David returns from school and finds you back here, it will give him incentive to stay. I must admit, as much as I was in favor of the whole boarding school idea, I miss him greatly. This house is so quiet without him." We cut to Quentin angrily snapping at Harrison "I don't know what you're talking about!" The two are still in Julia's room where we left off. Harrison answers "Quentin, please. Don't deny the truth. I can't tell you anything more about myself if you don't at least admit that I know about you." Quentin looks threateningly at Harrison and says "You, my friend, have a very bad habit of poking your nose into other people's business." Harrison answers "You must listen to me! You're the only one here I know I can trust!" There is the sound of some voices outside, and Quentin peeks outside the door to see. He looks at Harrison and says with a smile "It looks like Dr. Hoffman is back. You'd better finish your business here pretty quickly." Harrison pushes Quentin aside and starts out the door. "When you are ready to be honest with me, I shall be honest with you. You know I'm telling the truth. Think about it." Harrison leaves, and Quentin follows, closing Julia's door and thinking a moment.
Julia leads Maggie down the hall to her old room, and they bump into Quentin. Quentin is surprised to see Maggie, and says hello. Julia says that "Maggie is well enough to come back to Collinwood." Quentin smiles and says "Well, I hope this time you won't leave us so abruptly" while kissing her hand. Maggie answers "I may have lost my memory for a while, but I certainly remember your charm, Quentin." Julia continues to lead Maggie, but Quentin stops her, saying "Julia, if Maggie is well, perhaps we should let her find her own way to her old room, eh?" Maggie says she'd like that, and Julia says okay. Quentin looks Julia over, and Julia asks him if anything is wrong. "No, nothing. I just thought you looked a little tired, that's all." Julia smiles and says "Well, I left quite early to go to Windcliff, and the drive took longer than I thought." Quentin answers "Well, maybe you should get some rest." Julia says "Perhaps, I want to make sure Maggie is okay." Quentin walks away, and Julia scowls at him. At the old house, Angelique has made a small amulet by placing the herbs into a small pouch. She puts it around her neck and hides it beneath her dress. "There," she says. "Barnabas will never know I am wearing this." Vicky asks what it is, and Angelique answers "Something to increase the power of the spell. These herbs should hold Sarah's spirit here long enough for me to share some of my life force with it. If there is enough time, we should be successful." Barnabas arrives, and is surprised to see Vicky. She tells him that she felt bad that Sarah "didn't stay" and felt that they should "attempt the spell another time. Perhaps if we didn't break the circle, it might work."

Episode 1374
Aired: Thursday September 30, 1971
Louis Edmonds' voiceover: "A new day has begun at Collinwood, and little do the inhabitants of the great house realize what terror is in store for them. A sworn enemy of the Collins family, a warlock from the seventeenth century, has claimed control over Doctor Julia Hoffman, and even now as the family rises to meet the day, that enemy is working against them...."
Maggie sits in her room at Windcliff staring out the window. We hear her think "That little girl....Sarah! Her name is Sarah, I must remember that! She seemed to know me....to like me. If only I could remember why....and why does that song frighten me so? It's just a little girl's song...." Julia enters the room and says hello to Maggie. "How are you feeling today?" she adds. Maggie says she's trying to remember more. Julia smiles and says "That's good, Maggie. I brought an old friend of yours here. Perhaps he can help you to remember better." Maggie answers "I can't remember any of my friends." Julia says "Perhaps you will remember this one" as she opens the door and leads Nicholas in. "Hello, Maggie," he says with a big smile. Maggie looks him over curiously.
After the titles, Roger is going over some papers in the drawing room when Harrison enters. He says hello, and Harrison asks if he's seen Julia. Roger says no, but that he knows "she left quite early this morning. I think she felt it was time to check back at her position at Windcliff." Harrison mulls this over as Roger continues "That reminds me, there's something I've been puzzled about." Harrison asks "Oh?" Roger continues "I don't think I've ever asked you what you do for a living." Harrison smiles and says "No, I don't think you have." Roger says, Rogerlike, "Well, are you going to keep me in suspense?" Harrison smiles and answers "I've been able to live pretty well from my investments." Roger snickers a bit and says "You and Barnabas both. I suppose that's one of the privileges of coming from a family as well established as ours. We have the luxury of letting our wealth work for us instead of vice versa." Harrison nods, but adds "Well, I didn't start out with too much myself. I've just made some smart choices in where to put what money I had." Roger says "Are you one of those businessmen who claims he can predict the future?" Harrison answers "I never said that. I suppose I've just been lucky." Roger goes back to his papers and says "Well, if you have any lucky ideas for me, I'd love to hear them. If David decides to go back to boarding school next year, and with Liz' upcoming marriage, we may need some extra money here and there." Harrison asks "Isn't David already at boarding school?" Roger says "Yes, but the term ends in a few weeks. He'll be coming home pretty soon, and then we'll make our decision." Harrison looks scared as he repeats "David...David will be home soon?" Roger says "Yes," and then notices Harrison's ashen look, adding "Harrison, is there something wrong?" Harrison covers up a bit and says "No, no, nothing. I was just thinking about something else...will you excuse me?" Harrison leaves the room quickly as Roger wonders why.
At Windcliff, Nicholas sits down next to Maggie. He tells her that he was once a good friend of hers, and would like to be again. Maggie smiles. "I want to show you something," Nicholas says, and takes Julia's medallion from his pocket. "Look at this Maggie. You've seen it before. Only this time, you will concentrate on it much deeper. Watch the jewels and how they sparkle." Maggie watches the medallion and slowly goes into a trance, repeating "The jewels....sparkle...." Nicholas adds "And now look into my eyes." Maggie does so. Nicholas says "Good. Now I want you to tell me everything you remember. Everything that lies within your subconscious." Maggie says "I don't know where to begin." Nicholas says "Tell me how you got to Windcliff." Maggie answers "Sebastian...Sebastian Shaw drove me here." Nicholas asks "Why? Why were you sent here?" Maggie gets scared, but answers "I.....I was attacked! I was attacked by her! She's another monster! Just like it happened before!" Nicholas takes Maggie's shoulders and says "I will not let anyone harm you, you must understand that. You were attacked by a vampire. You are perfectly okay now and will remain so." Maggie nods "Yes. I am okay now." Nicholas says "The vampire has been destroyed." Maggie says "No! No he hasn't! Barnabas Collins is the vampire!" Nicholas looks at Julia with a smile and says "She still remembers everything! I was right! Maggie Evans will be indispensable to us, once we control her mind." Julia sneers "She is very beautiful, Nicholas. I can almost understand how you were weakened by her." Nicholas snaps "I wanted her for a sacrifice to the master, and nothing more. And it turns out I was right to seek her out again. If Julia Hoffman controls Maggie Evans' memories, and we control Julia Hoffman, then the beautiful young woman who sits before you is key to the destruction of the Collins family!" Julia and Nicholas look at the entranced Maggie.
Harrison walks in the hallway at Collinwood, and then ducks into Julia's room. He starts to look around, through the desk drawers and in the closets. Quentin is walking down the hallway and sees the door open a crack with the light on. He enters, and discovers Harrison searching through Julia's things. "Just what do you think you're doing?" Quentin demands. Harrison is surprised to see Quentin, but only says "How well do you know Julia Hoffman?" Quentin snaps "You haven't answered my question, dear cousin, what are you doing searching through her room?" Harrison closes the door and motions for Quentin to quiet down. "Yes, I'm searching through her room. I'm trying to find the answer to something that is very important!" Quentin snaps "What could that possibly be?" Harrison replies "I'd have a better idea if you told me how much you know about Julia Hoffman. You've never told me too much about her. Can you trust her?" Quentin, confused, stops Harrison from searching and says "I'd trust her with my life, Harrison. In fact, I have many times! Her and Barnabas, someone else you seem to have endless suspicions of! Now what's this all about?" Harrison fumbles for words a moment and then only says "I...I wish I could tell you." Quentin replies "That makes two of us!" Harrison says "Quentin, I know I can trust you, I just hope you can trust me, that I have the best interests of everyone in mind." Quentin angrily answers "How do you know you can trust me? You hardly know me! Now I want some answers!" Harrison turns away from Quentin and says "I don't know if you'll believe me. I've had to lie so much up until now." Quentin says "Well, then start with the truth." Harrison sighs and says "Okay. I don't know any other way to convince you unless I start with some truth. Something you cannot deny." Quentin says "Let's hear it." Harrison looks at Quentin and says "Shall we go up to the attic and look at your portrait, Quentin? The one that proves you are over one hundred years old?" Quentin is shocked (a little too much truth, perhaps?).
Maggie is in the lobby at Windcliff with her bags packed. Julia is getting some paperwork ready as Maggie says she "can't believe it's finally over." Julia smiles and says "It took a long time, but it seems your memories and personality are back to normal." Maggie says "Do you think I'll be able to get my position as governess of Collinwood back again?" Julia answers "Well, David is away at school right now. But you never know, if all goes according to plan, there may be some need for you at Collinwood." Maggie asks "According to plan?" Julia looks at her and says "Oh, I meant how we were planning to ease you back into day to day living." Maggie says "Yes, it will be good to see everyone again." Julia asks "Yes, everyone will be happy to see you as well. Roger, Carolyn, Elizabeth......Barnabas." Maggie answers "Yes, it will be wonderful to see them all again." Julia smiles and says "This will take a moment, why don't you wait outside by my car?" Maggie leaves, and Nicholas steps out from behind a door. "You see?" he says. "She remembers nothing of Barnabas Collins, for the time being." Julia says "I don't see why we don't use that girl to expose him now!" Nicholas answers "Not yet, not yet. Patience, dear Judah. We want to play all of our trump cards very very carefully." He smiles diabolically.

Episode 1373
Aired: Wednesday September 29, 1971
Julia is walking in the woods, waiting, when she hears some steps. She moves towards them, and it turns out to be Harrison. "I had no idea you were also taken by walks in the woods," he says to her. Julia lies that she comes out there to think. "You came towards me as if you were expecting someone," Harrison adds. Julia turns to him suddenly and asks "Why do you think that?" Harrison, confused, says he meant nothing by it, only "usually when a woman hears strange footsteps in the woods, she'd back away instead of move towards them." Julia smiles and says "Perhaps I am no ordinary woman." She stares at Harrison's ring, and he looks at her strangely.
After the titles, Harrison offers to walk Julia back to Collinwood, but she refuses, saying she'd rather "stay out here a little while longer. I haven't quite enjoyed the night enough yet." Harrison asks "Are you feeling all right? Your eyes look very tired..." Julia turns away from him, saying "I...I haven't slept well lately. That's all." Harrison remarks "Well, I hope you get some rest. You are a doctor, I suppose you must have drops or something for that redness." Julia answers "Yes, I do, back in my room. Perhaps before I go to bed." Harrison says goodnight and walks away. He stops a moment to look back towards Julia and thinks a moment, and then continues on. Meanwhile, Angelique is putting on her coat and getting ready to go out at the old house. Vicky and Barnabas are sitting while Vicky consoles Barnabas about his all too brief encounter with Sarah's spirit. Barnabas asks Angelique where she is going, and she only says "out...for a walk." Barnabas says "You shouldn't feel responsible for what happened. I was the one who broke the circle. Perhaps Stokes is wrong about how Sarah feels." Angelique forces a smile but leaves anyway. Vicky comments to Barnabas how much she thinks Angelique has changed. Barnabas is happy to hear her say that, and comments that "without her powers to corrupt her, her best womanly qualities have all come forward." Vicky feels a little guilty for having doubted her, but Barnabas tells her "No one doubted her more than myself. It took me a long time to see what the truth was. There is no shame in that." Vicky tells Barnabas she will go after Angelique to bring her back and tell her. Barnabas leads her to the door and after she leaves, looks sadly at the spot on the floor where Sarah vanished.
Julia still waits in the woods, and this time Nicholas finds her. "I got your note after meeting with the master," he says. Julia smiles and says "I hope the master explained everything to you." Nicholas says "Only in riddles. Something about producing chaos in Barnabas Collins' life by removing love." Julia laughs and says "Yes. I must undo something I did long ago, something that served me at the time but must be undone now." Nicholas asks "What do you mean?" Julia smiles and tells Nicholas to hide. "Quickly! I sense she will be here soon....simply watch." Nicholas, wondering, moves behind a tree and some brush. In a moment, Angelique approaches the area and sees Julia. "Julia!" she says. "I didn't expect to find you out here." Julia lies again that she came out to "look at the stars and enjoy the night air." Angelique lies and says the same thing when Julia asks her why she is out there. "Is everything all right with Barnabas?" Julia asks. Angelique turns away, and lies "Yes... everything is fine. You needn't be his keeper anymore, Julia. I am his wife now." Julia answers "I was only wondering. You seem upset." Angelique says "I am not upset. I am sorry, I only wish to enjoy the night air....alone. Like you." Julia says "Then I'll go on with my walk. Goodnight." Julia walks away as Angelique moves in the opposite direction. Julia comes to Nicholas and shushes him before he can say anything. "Simply watch," Julia says. Angelique walks and she starts to hear a faint voice calling her. At first, she shrugs it off, but the voice gets louder and louder in the wind, calling "Angelique.....Angelique......" Angelique asks "Who is there? Who is it?" The voice only repeats her name, and when Angelique demands to know who is there, suddenly a hand appears floating before her, pointing an accusatory finger. Angelique steps away from it scared, demanding to know who it is, but all the voice says is "Angelique....you shall pay.....you shall die...." Angelique is growing more terrified as she looks closer at the hand and sees a large diamond ring on it.... it's a woman's hand. Angelique starts to run, but she finds herself at the edge of the cliff at Widow's Hill. She turns to escape, but from out of the shadows, she sees the pointing finger approach...and from out of the darkness steps the ghost of Josette, in her wedding dress! Her veil is lowered, and she points her finger at Angelique saying "You brought me here to die....and now you shall pay..." Angelique yells "No! No! Get away!" as the spirit moves closer. Julia and Nicholas are watching and smiling as Josette, moving closer to Angelique, adds "And this is what awaits you down below, among the rocks.....", lifting her veil to reveal her horribly disfigured face. Angelique, backed up against the edge of the cliff, screams as Josette moves closer.
Nicholas tells Julia that "We are not to kill Angelique this way!" Julia shushes him, and says "I have confidence in Angelique. After all, someone with her powers should be able to find her way out of this situation quite easily." Nicholas snaps "Her powers are limited! They are..." and then he thinks a moment. Julia smiles and says "She will soon be consumed by the powers I have restored to her, but for now, they may save her." Josette moves closer and closer to Angelique, who slowly raises her hands and says "Spirit of Josette, begone! I command you to rest! I command you to return to your grave!" Josette stops moving, but does not vanish. Angelique thinks a moment and we hear her think "I felt something... something I have not felt in a long time...the power! I have the power again!" Suddenly, Angelique is more confident, and says "Spirit of Josette, I command and control you now. You cannot and will not harm me. You will tell me things I need to know." Julia and Nicholas get nervous, and Julia says "I'd better see to this." Angelique continues "Spirit of Josette, you must tell me of your former master. Who sent you to me and why?" Before Josette can answer, Vicky steps out of the woods, saying "Angelique! I heard you scream, why...." but then she sees the disfigured Josette and screams herself. As Angelique is distracted by Vicky, the spirit of Josette vanishes. Angelique, frustrated, yells "No! You cannot go without telling me what I need to know!" But Josette is gone. Angelique runs to Vicky and tries to calm her down. "What was that?" Vicky asks. Angelique answers "A ghost from my past. It seems there are many spirits whom I have wronged." Vicky looks at Angelique and says "You sent the spirit away. I heard you. Angelique, you have more power than you've admitted to Barnabas!" Angelique doesn't know what to say. Nicholas looks at Julia and says he understands. Julia smiles an evil smile and says "Her powers will turn her to hate as they did in the past. It will be only the beginning of the end for the Collins family. And then, I will have my revenge upon her as well."
Angelique argues with Vicky over whether or not she has her powers back. Vicky insists that she'd better be honest with Barnabas about what has happened, since "those powers must have come from something evil." Angelique answers "Perhaps not. Perhaps they returned to me when I needed them most, to save my life." Vicky answers that "the black arts have never done anyone any good around Collinwood." Angelique answers "Vicky, there were times when I had my powers that I tried to help Barnabas. I tried desperately to help him and others." Vicky answers "But more often you only tried to help yourself. You hurt others around you. Power corrupts, Angelique, don't you see? You must tell Barnabas and renounce them." Angelique answers "I cannot do that." Vicky wants to know why, and Angelique answers "Because if they came from Nicholas, as I suspect they might have, I will need them to fight for Barnabas. They may be our only defense." Vicky thinks this over, and says "What could you use those powers for in order to help Barnabas?" Angelique looks at Vicky and answers "I think we both know one answer to that." The two head out of the woods. Meanwhile, Julia arrives back at Collinwood and finds Harrison up having a drink. "Are you feeling better, Doctor?" he asks her. She says she does, but Harrison remarks "You still look tired. Perhaps you should go to sleep." Julia says "Yes, it's been quite an evening.....I think I will turn in." As Julia goes upstairs, Harrison walks to Barnabas' portrait and begins to stare at it. He looks upstairs for a moment, and then back to the portrait. Suddenly, his mouth gapes open as he says "Those eyes!"
Julia is walking in the woods, waiting, when she hears some steps. She moves towards them, and it turns out to be Harrison. "I had no idea you were also taken by walks in the woods," he says to her. Julia lies that she comes out there to think. "You came towards me as if you were expecting someone," Harrison adds. Julia turns to him suddenly and asks "Why do you think that?" Harrison, confused, says he meant nothing by it, only "usually when a woman hears strange footsteps in the woods, she'd back away instead of move towards them." Julia smiles and says "Perhaps I am no ordinary woman." She stares at Harrison's ring, and he looks at her strangely.
After the titles, Harrison offers to walk Julia back to Collinwood, but she refuses, saying she'd rather "stay out here a little while longer. I haven't quite enjoyed the night enough yet." Harrison asks "Are you feeling all right? Your eyes look very tired..." Julia turns away from him, saying "I...I haven't slept well lately. That's all." Harrison remarks "Well, I hope you get some rest. You are a doctor, I suppose you must have drops or something for that redness." Julia answers "Yes, I do, back in my room. Perhaps before I go to bed." Harrison says goodnight and walks away. He stops a moment to look back towards Julia and thinks a moment, and then continues on. Meanwhile, Angelique is putting on her coat and getting ready to go out at the old house. Vicky and Barnabas are sitting while Vicky consoles Barnabas about his all too brief encounter with Sarah's spirit. Barnabas asks Angelique where she is going, and she only says "out...for a walk." Barnabas says "You shouldn't feel responsible for what happened. I was the one who broke the circle. Perhaps Stokes is wrong about how Sarah feels." Angelique forces a smile but leaves anyway. Vicky comments to Barnabas how much she thinks Angelique has changed. Barnabas is happy to hear her say that, and comments that "without her powers to corrupt her, her best womanly qualities have all come forward." Vicky feels a little guilty for having doubted her, but Barnabas tells her "No one doubted her more than myself. It took me a long time to see what the truth was. There is no shame in that." Vicky tells Barnabas she will go after Angelique to bring her back and tell her. Barnabas leads her to the door and after she leaves, looks sadly at the spot on the floor where Sarah vanished.
Julia still waits in the woods, and this time Nicholas finds her. "I got your note after meeting with the master," he says. Julia smiles and says "I hope the master explained everything to you." Nicholas says "Only in riddles. Something about producing chaos in Barnabas Collins' life by removing love." Julia laughs and says "Yes. I must undo something I did long ago, something that served me at the time but must be undone now." Nicholas asks "What do you mean?" Julia smiles and tells Nicholas to hide. "Quickly! I sense she will be here soon....simply watch." Nicholas, wondering, moves behind a tree and some brush. In a moment, Angelique approaches the area and sees Julia. "Julia!" she says. "I didn't expect to find you out here." Julia lies again that she came out to "look at the stars and enjoy the night air."

Episode 1372
Aired: Tuesday September 28, 1971
After a replay of Monday's close and the titles, the silhouette steps into the room, and we see that it is not Sarah, but Vicky. "Vicky!" gasps Barnabas. Vicky asks what is happening. She was on her way back to Collinwood when the storm suddenly started and thought she might stop at the old house for a while until it cleared up. She sees the candles in a circle on the floor and then looks at Angelique and asks "What were you doing?" Stokes answers that they were "conducting an exercise." Barnabas finishes the thought by telling Vicky they were "trying to reach Sarah." Vicky answers "But I don't understand. It doesn't look like you were holding a seance." Stokes answers "Not so much a seance, Miss Winters, than a casting of a spell." Vicky looks at Angelique and asks "What kind of spell? Involving Sarah?" Angelique answers "I told them it wouldn't work. I do not have that kind of power." Vicky asks "What kind of power? I thought all of your powers were gone!" Barnabas says "Professor Stokes believed he had found a way to bring Sarah back to life." Vicky, shocked, says "Back to life? Here? Now?" Barnabas nods. "She still has not appeared to me. My heart aches at the thought of losing her forever. I thought of Daphne and how she found herself here in this century. I thought it might be possible to duplicate the spell." Vicky is skeptical and says "I don't know, Barnabas. I've found myself journeying through time for reasons unknown to me, but somehow I found my way back here because I belong here. Sarah belongs to another time." Barnabas defiantly says "No! She was never meant to die so young. There must be a way." Stokes answers "Perhaps there is." Barnabas asks what he means, and Stokes answers that the new way may require Miss Winters' cooperation.
Nicholas is preparing to leave his house, grabbing his hat and coat. When he tries to open the front door, he cannot. Puzzled, he struggles with the knob and tries to force it open, but it does not move. Suddenly, there is dark laughter in the halls. Nicholas looks around and demands to know what is happening. "You have forgotten your master so soon, Nicholas?" a booming voice says. Suddenly scared and humble, Nicholas answers "No, of course I haven't, my master. What do you require of me?" The voice answers "You may open the door now." Nicholas slowly opens the door, but instead of the outside, there is a staircase leading down towards a red glare. Nicholas gulps and starts down the stairs. Deep in hell, Diablos paces and awaits Nicholas as he comes down the steps. "Why have you summoned me, my master?" Nicholas asks. "Do you need to ask?" Diablos answers. "You have altered the plan. Judah was intended for Barnabas Collins. Why have you disobeyed me, Nicholas?" Nicholas shudders as we cut back to the old house. Vicky asks Stokes what he thinks she should do. "I am sorry to say this to you, Angelique. But I believe one reason we had trouble contacting the spirit of Sarah Collins was you." A little offended, Angelique says "That child had no reason to fear me. She knew nothing of what was happening." Stokes tries to calm her, saying "I understand that. But nonetheless, when Miss Winters journeyed into the past, she had extensive contact with Sarah Collins as her governess. Sarah would know her and most likely trust her. Her presence within the circle may be just what we need." Angelique and Vicky exchange slightly catty glares as Stokes explains this. Barnabas takes Angelique's hand and says "Please don't be hurt. Stokes may be right. After all, we are dealing with a child." Vicky looks at Barnabas and asks "Is it right for us to do this? I feel like we are interfering with her destiny somehow." Barnabas answers "I refuse to believe her destiny is to wander the Earth as a lonely spirit. Would you wish that upon anyone, Vicky?" Vicky thinks a moment, and then says "Okay. I will help you." Barnabas smiles.
In hell, Diablos says to Nicholas "So you believe Julia Hoffman could do more damage than Barnabas Collins?" Nicholas answers "Yes. She is above suspicion, and is trusted by all at Collinwood." Diablos laughs and answers "And she is most trusted by Maggie Evans, isn't she Nicholas?" Nicholas gets defensive, and says "That's not it at all!" Diablos booms "I enjoy when you lie, Nicholas, but not to me! It is no matter...if you desire the Evans girl, perhaps she could be your reward of sorts..... if this plan of yours comes together." Nicholas assures Diablos that it will, and Diablos reminds Nicholas "the destruction of the Collins family is the only way to judge success in this matter. After your many failures in the past, and even Judah's failure, you must not fail me again. Time has almost run out." Nicholas says "I understand." Diablos asks "And how to you intend to set the wheels in motion, now that Dr. Hoffman is of use to us?" Nicholas smiles and answers "Barnabas trusts her with his life. What more needs to be said?" Diablos snaps "Much more! We need to produce chaos in the life of Barnabas Collins. We need to undo what love has done." Nicholas says he doesn't understand, but Diablos answers "Judah will explain it to you. I have given this task to him." Nicholas complains "But I was to be in charge!" Diablos waves his hand and says "It is done!" and suddenly, Nicholas is back in his living room. He sees a card leaning against a clock on his desk. When he picks it up to read it, it says "The edge of the woods near Widow's Hill..... Signed, J." Nicholas gets a little scared.
At the old house, the candles are lit and the circle forms again, this time with Vicky. Stokes tells her to call for Sarah after Angelique finishes the "incantation." Vicky says she understands (there's a first time for everything). Angelique repeats the incantation as the storm and wind begin again. Stokes nods at Vicky and Vicky calls out "Sarah! Sarah Collins! Please return to us, Sarah! Your family loves you and misses you....we want you to come home....please, Sarah! Come home and stay with those who love and miss you!" There is a clap of thunder as the doors fly open again. As the wind howls, Sarah walks in slowly. She turns the corner and sees Vicky first, who gasps "Sarah! You heard me!" Sarah nods, and Barnabas breaks the circle to move towards her. "Sarah! You've come back to me!" he says, but Stokes yells "No, Barnabas! The spell is not completed!" As Barnabas moves towards Sarah, she vanishes again. Barnabas reaches the empty spot where she was standing and grasps at the air, lamenting "No...Sarah! Come back! Come back to me!" Vicky and Angelique look upon Barnabas with pity.
After a replay of Monday's close and the titles, the silhouette steps into the room, and we see that it is not Sarah, but Vicky. "Vicky!" gasps Barnabas. Vicky asks what is happening.

Episode 1371
Aired: Monday September 27, 1971
Grayson Hall's voiceover: "It is a night of terror for Julia Hoffman. Under the influence of the evil Nicholas Blair, she has found herself at the mercy of his dark powers. And while she has been able to protect the Collins family in the past, especially Barnabas Collins, Julia Hoffman will now become powerless to prevent the theft of her identity by a long time enemy of the Collins family...."
In a repeat of Friday's close, Julia stands before Nicholas in a trance while Nicholas holds a hand on the blue cloth covering Judah Zachary's severed head. Nicholas says "You will accept what is about to happen." Julia repeats "I will accept what is about to happen." Nicholas smiles and says "Good. I had originally intended this for Barnabas Collins, but a new inspiration came to me after talking with you and Harrison. This is for you, Doctor Julia Hoffman!" and with a "Behold!" Nicholas yanks the cover off the glass box with Judah's head. Julia gasps "Judah! Judah Zachary!" in shock, but Nicholas repeats "You will accept what is about to happen!" Julia struggles to say "No...no...it can't be! We destroyed you in the past!" Nicholas yells "You will accept what is about to happen!" Julia tries to fight, but can't help saying "I.....will....accept....what....is....about to....happen!" as Judah's eyes open and stare directly at her. They are red, bloodshot... unforgettable! Nicholas says "Now! Now! The time is now!" Judah's head starts to smile as Julia gasps for air. Julia yells in pain and collapses to the floor. Nicholas stands over her unconscious body and laughs. As he continues laughing, Julia opens her eyes....and they are now the same red bloodshot eyes we have seen before....
Julia blinks a couple of times and stands up slowly. She looks around the room and then at herself. "What has happened?" she demands. "A mirror! Now, Nicholas! A mirror!" Nicholas answers "There has been a change in plans," but Julia demands a mirror again. Nicholas hands her a mirror and she is shocked when she looks in it. "We were not meant to possess this one, Nicholas! This was not in the plan!" Julia snaps. Nicholas answers "I told you that I have altered the plan. You are now the conduit of Judah's spirit. This is the way it must be!" Julia smashes the mirror to the floor and angrily says "We were meant to possess Barnabas Collins! Our destiny was decided upon long ago!" Nicholas answers "Destiny can be changed through the actions of men!" Julia scoffs. Nicholas continues "We will be much more powerful by possessing Julia Hoffman. You see, Barnabas Collins trusts her more than anyone else. Even more than his own wife." Julia frowns "Miranda.... oh, how I have longed to see her destroyed. To see her suffer and die slowly at my hands....these hands...." Nicholas laughs a little and says "You will have your revenge, Judah. Revenge on the woman who betrayed you twice...once as Miranda DuVal and again as Angelique in the guise of Valerie Collins in 1840." Julia smiles an evil smile, but then looks concerned. "She will suspect me in this guise," Julia says. "She already hates Julia Hoffman. Why did you change the plans? Having Barnabas Collins, the man she loves enough to betray her powers....having Barnabas destroy her was what we intended!" Nicholas answers "You will understand the reasons in due time." Julia snaps "Will our master understand?" Nicholas turns away as Julia continues "You have not consulted our master, have you Nicholas?" Nicholas answers that "our master will understand since the end result will be the same." Julia sneers "Perhaps you'd better make sure, Nicholas. Perhaps you'd better make sure." Nicholas thinks about this.
Stokes and Barnabas are having tea in the old house living room. Stokes tells Barnabas that he has researched "many different methods of reanimating lost souls" but has not found anything "foolproof." Barnabas insists that it must be possible somehow, "if Petofi did it with Daphne." Stokes agrees, noting that "Daphne had been restored to life before as well." Barnabas remembers and nods, as Stokes continues "Only that time it was from a spell cast my niece and David when they were possessed. I felt researching the spell they cast would prove more fruitful for our purposes." Barnabas asks "Then do you think it's possible? Will it be possible to restore Sarah?" Stokes says "I'm not sure. I'm also not sure of the risks in trying." Barnabas wants to know what he means, and Stokes answers "We don't know for sure that Sarah's memories will be intact. If they are not, she will have no idea who she is or how she got here." Barnabas answers "Perhaps that will be better," but Stokes replies "that means she will have no memory of you being her brother. She will have no reason to love you as her spirit does now." Barnabas is hurt by this prospect, and answers "Daphne had no memory of who she was, yet she was still attracted to Quentin." Stokes answers "There's no way of predicting. When David and Hallie brought back Daphne originally, she held all of her memories from the nineteenth century. By using the same spell, Sarah may carry her eighteenth century memories into the present." Barnabas smiles and says "Then she will know me as her brother." Stokes answers "Yes, she will. She will also know she is in the wrong place and time." Barnabas answers "We can take care of that later. After all, she will be comfortable with me here. And Vicky as well." Stokes asks "And what about David, when he returns from school? Or Maggie Evans? Or anyone else Sarah came into contact with as a spirit? Don't you seem Barnabas, you will have to explain to that little child why she is no longer dead. It will be a great shock to her. That is the risk we are taking." Barnabas looks at Stokes.
Nicholas tells Julia that there is no need to consult "the master" about their plans for Barnabas and Angelique. Julia answers "The bargain was to destroy the Collins family. It always has been. I have a feeling that you have altered these plans for your own agenda." Nicholas replies "And so what if it have? The result will be the same. Judah, you live again! Your powers have returned to you!" Julia answers "I cannot function within this body!" Nicholas answers "Think of it as a temporary arrangement. You only need to possess Julia Hoffman as long as it takes to destroy Barnabas." Julia snaps "And then what?" Nicholas smiles and says "And then you will move on." Julia answers "I only want to move on towards destroying all of the Collins family. In this time, in the twentieth century....how little they know of their position in this world and of their hidden enemies. They all must die." Nicholas answers "Maybe not all of them, Judah." Julia asks "What do you mean? Who would you spare?" Nicholas answers "Some of the Collins family hold secrets that could be of great use to us. Secrets of time, and even of immortality. We may want to extract those secrets before any destruction occurs." Julia asks "Would Doctor Hoffman be privy to such secrets?" Nicholas answers "Perhaps, perhaps." Julia smiles.
Stokes has placed several candles in a circle on the floor. Angelique enters and asks what is going on. "It is fortunate you have returned," Stokes tells her. "According to everything I have read about this particular exercise, it works better with the energy from three life forces than only two." Angelique asks what he means, and Barnabas explains that they are attempting a spell to restore Sarah. "It is similar to a spell once cast to restore Daphne," he says. Angelique gets scared, and says "This was one of Judah Zachary's spells, Barnabas! It is exceedingly dangerous!" Stokes answers "Yes, we know." Angelique says "You have no idea, Professor. Once this spell is begun and the doors to the world beyond are opened, there are many spirits and forces that can be released." Stokes answers that he is "very much aware of the dangers" after having read "extensively" about the legends as to when these spells were cast. Barnabas pleads with Angelique that he must "save" Sarah from "an eternity as a wandering spirit....all alone, without anyone to truly love her." Angelique feels a little guilty and tells Barnabas she understands, but worries about "what powers will also be unleashed." Stokes answers "Perhaps you are the ideal person to help us then. If you are familiar with this spell, perhaps you should speak it." Angelique snaps "My powers are no longer what they were." Barnabas answers "Nicholas restored a small measure of your powers, perhaps that will be all we shall need." Angelique answers "Barnabas, every time I use those powers I will be drawn closer to what Nicholas represents." Barnabas takes her hands and says "This one time. All I ask is this one time." Angelique sighs, and starts to light the candles. She tells Stokes and Barnabas to stand with her in a circle around the candles as she begins the spell. "I call upon the powers of life and death, of light and of darkness..." she begins as the wind begins to howl. "I call upon the rulers of the spirits of the dead to stand aside and to let the doorways separating our worlds to open.....I call upon the spirits to heed my command...." All the lights in the house go out except for the candles in the circle as a storm thunders outside. "I command the spirit of Sarah Collins to walk through those doors.....Sarah Collins, hear me....hear my voice from the land of the living...you shall be restored to this land when you walk through that door....what was once spirit will be flesh and blood, with a beating heart and sound mind...Sarah Collins...I command you to step forward!" The wind blows the front doors open, and in a flash of lightning, Stokes, Barnabas & Angelique see the silhouette of someone standing in the door....
Grayson Hall's voiceover: "It is a night of terror for Julia Hoffman. Under the influence of the evil Nicholas Blair, she has found herself at the mercy of his dark powers. And while she has been able to protect the Collins family in the past, especially Barnabas Collins, Julia Hoffman will now become powerless to prevent the theft of her identity by a long time enemy of the Collins family...."
In a repeat of Friday's close, Julia stands before Nicholas in a trance while Nicholas holds a hand on the blue cloth covering Judah Zachary's severed head. Nicholas says "You will accept what is about to happen." Julia repeats "I will accept what is about to happen." Nicholas smiles and says "Good. I had originally intended this for Barnabas Collins, but a new inspiration came to me after talking with you and Harrison. This is for you, Doctor Julia Hoffman!" and with a "Behold!" Nicholas yanks the cover off the glass box with Judah's head. Julia gasps "Judah! Judah Zachary!" in shock, but Nicholas repeats "You will accept what is about to happen!" Julia struggles to say "No...no...it can't be! We destroyed you in the past!" Nicholas yells "You will accept what is about to happen!" Julia tries to fight, but can't help saying "I.....will....accept....what....is....about to....happen!" as Judah's eyes open and stare directly at her. They are red, bloodshot... unforgettable! Nicholas says "Now! Now! The time is now!" Judah's head starts to smile as Julia gasps for air. Julia yells in pain and collapses to the floor. Nicholas stands over her unconscious body and laughs. As he continues laughing, Julia opens her eyes....and they are now the same red bloodshot eyes we have seen before....
Julia blinks a couple of times and stands up slowly. She looks around the room and then at herself. "What has happened?" she demands. "A mirror! Now, Nicholas! A mirror!" Nicholas answers "There has been a change in plans," but Julia demands a mirror again. Nicholas hands her a mirror and she is shocked when she looks in it. "We were not meant to possess this one, Nicholas! This was not in the plan!" Julia snaps. Nicholas answers "I told you that I have altered the plan. You are now the conduit of Judah's spirit. This is the way it must be!" Julia smashes the mirror to the floor and angrily says "We were meant to possess Barnabas Collins! Our destiny was decided upon long ago!" Nicholas answers "Destiny can be changed through the actions of men!" Julia scoffs. Nicholas continues "We will be much more powerful by possessing Julia Hoffman. You see, Barnabas Collins trusts her more than anyone else. Even more than his own wife." Julia frowns "Miranda.... oh, how I have longed to see her destroyed. To see her suffer and die slowly at my hands....these hands...." Nicholas laughs a little and says "You will have your revenge, Judah. Revenge on the woman who betrayed you twice...once as Miranda DuVal and again as Angelique in the guise of Valerie Collins in 1840." Julia smiles an evil smile, but then looks concerned. "She will suspect me in this guise," Julia says. "She already hates Julia Hoffman. Why did you change the plans? Having Barnabas Collins, the man she loves enough to betray her powers....having Barnabas destroy her was what we intended!" Nicholas answers "You will understand the reasons in due time." Julia snaps "Will our master understand?" Nicholas turns away as Julia continues "You have not consulted our master, have you Nicholas?" Nicholas answers that "our master will understand since the end result will be the same." Julia sneers "Perhaps you'd better make sure, Nicholas. Perhaps you'd better make sure." Nicholas thinks about this.
Stokes and Barnabas are having tea in the old house living room. Stokes tells Barnabas that he has researched "many different methods of reanimating lost souls" but has not found anything "foolproof." Barnabas insists that it must be possible somehow, "if Petofi did it with Daphne." Stokes agrees, noting that "Daphne had been restored to life before as well." Barnabas remembers and nods, as Stokes continues "Only that time it was from a spell cast my niece and David when they were possessed. I felt researching the spell they cast would prove more fruitful for our purposes." Barnabas asks "Then do you think it's possible? Will it be possible to restore Sarah?" Stokes says "I'm not sure. I'm also not sure of the risks in trying." Barnabas wants to know what he means, and Stokes answers "We don't know for sure that Sarah's memories will be intact. If they are not, she will have no idea who she is or how she got here." Barnabas answers "Perhaps that will be better," but Stokes replies "that means she will have no memory of you being her brother. She will have no reason to love you as her spirit does now." Barnabas is hurt by this prospect, and answers "Daphne had no memory of who she was, yet she was still attracted to Quentin." Stokes answers "There's no way of predicting. When David and Hallie brought back Daphne originally, she held all of her memories from the nineteenth century. By using the same spell, Sarah may carry her eighteenth century memories into the present." Barnabas smiles and says "Then she will know me as her brother." Stokes answers "Yes, she will. She will also know she is in the wrong place and time." Barnabas answers "We can take care of that later. After all, she will be comfortable with me here. And Vicky as well." Stokes asks "And what about David, when he returns from school? Or Maggie Evans? Or anyone else Sarah came into contact with as a spirit? Don't you seem Barnabas, you will have to explain to that little child why she is no longer dead. It will be a great shock to her. That is the risk we are taking." Barnabas looks at Stokes.
Nicholas tells Julia that there is no need to consult "the master" about their plans for Barnabas and Angelique. Julia answers "The bargain was to destroy the Collins family. It always has been. I have a feeling that you have altered these plans for your own agenda." Nicholas replies "And so what if it have? The result will be the same. Judah, you live again! Your powers have returned to you!" Julia answers "I cannot function within this body!" Nicholas answers "Think of it as a temporary arrangement. You only need to possess Julia Hoffman as long as it takes to destroy Barnabas." Julia snaps "And then what?" Nicholas smiles and says "And then you will move on." Julia answers "I only want to move on towards destroying all of the Collins family.
