[[Nicholas Blair|Nicholas]] summons the [[Ghost|ghosts]] of those whose body parts were used to create [[Adam]]. == Synopsis == : ''The great house at [[Collinwood]] holds a new and dangerous [[secret]]. Only two people in the house know of the strange [[Adam|creature]] who has been given refuge in the long closed-off [[west wing]]. But another [[Nicholas Blair|man]] is determined to find out where the creature is and to use him for his own evil purposes.'' Carolyn is uncomfortable with Adam's affections. Carolyn tells Stokes that Adam tried to kill Harry. Professor Stokes tries to get Adam to focus on learning and not to become too fond of Carolyn. Professor Stokes questions Julia about Adam, but she is guarded with her answers. Nicholas summons the ghosts of the men whose bodies were used to create Adam, he finds that Adam is at Collinwood. == Memorable quotes == : '''[[Timothy Eliot Stokes|Professor Stokes]]''': There are times when even a momentary loss of self-control could be dangerous. ---- '''Professor Stokes''': A humorless man, [[Nicholas Blair|Mr. Blair]], is an incomplete man. ---- '''Professor Stokes''': [[Adam]], you must be careful not to...not to like her ''too'' much. '''Adam''': Why? '''Professor Stokes''': Oh, dear me. If only I’d had the foresight to marry and raise a family, I’d be equipped to answer that most annoying of all children’s questions. Why indeed? ---- '''Nicholas''': Nameless, miserable spirits lying in violated graves, hear me. Listen to my command. Come to me, and help me if I am to help you. Maimed and suffering spirits robbed after death in the name of false creation, I speak as your benefactor! And I command you...make your presence known to me! == Dramatis personae == * [[Grayson Hall]] as [[Julia Hoffman]] * [[Thayer David]] as [[Timothy Eliot Stokes]] * [[Nancy Barrett]] as [[Carolyn Stoddard]] * [[Robert Rodan]] as [[Adam]] * [[Humbert Allen Astredo]] as [[Nicholas Blair]] * [[David Groh]] as [[Ghost]] of One-Armed Man (uncredited) * [[Duane Morris]] as Ghost of Headless Man (uncredited) == Background information and notes == === Production === * This episode was recorded out of broadcast sequence. The previous episode to be recorded was [[545]]. === Story === * [[Carolyn Stoddard|Carolyn]] makes up the cover story of [[Timothy Eliot Stokes|Professor Stokes]] being in her [[Elizabeth Collins Stoddard|mother's]] private library looking at a first edition of ''{{w|The Federalist Papers|The Federalist}}'' to explain his whereabouts to [[Julia Hoffman|Julia]] at [[Collinwood]]. * '''[[TIMELINE]]''': Day 222 begins, and will end in [[545]]. It is morning. Yesterday, [[Adam]] attempted to kill [[Harry Johnson|Harry]]. It was the "other evening" when Professor Stokes questioned Julia about Adam. == Bloopers and continuity errors == * [[Humbert Allen Astredo]] flubs a line at the end of the teaser: "I wonder what you could told me...tell me about a man named [[Adam|Adam.]]" * At the beginning of Act I, when [[Timothy Eliot Stokes|Professor Stokes]] says "a humorless man," there is a squeaking noise off-stage. * When Professor Stokes and Adam discuss meeting other people, they step on each other's lines. * A [[Boom microphone|boom mic]] shadow is seen as Stokes opens the [[drawing room]] doors after discussing [[Barnabas Collins|Barnabas]] and Adam with [[Julia Hoffman|Julia]]. * When [[Nicholas Blair]] leaves [[Collinwood]] after his talk with Stokes and [[Carolyn Stoddard|Carolyn]], as he walks out of the front doors, we see the raw wood backing of another set. ==External Links == <span class="">[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0867990/?ref_=tt_ep_nx Dark Shadows - Episode 544 on the IMDb]</span> [https://darkshadowseveryday.com/2014/12/14/episode-544/ Dark Shadows Everyday - Episode 544 - The Facts of Life][[Category:Dark Shadows episodes|0544]]
