: ''The great house at [[Collinwood (1970 PT)|Collinwood]] in the dark and frightening world of [[Parallel Time]], where each life has been affected by the evil doings by a woman who calls herself [[Alexis Stokes]], but who is actually [[Angelique Stokes Collins|Angelique Collins]] returned from the grave. On this night, [[Will Loomis]] comes to the [[tower room]] of the great house, hoping to find [[Quentin Collins (1970 PT)|Quentin Collins]], who is hiding from the [[police]].''

Angelique finds Will searching, and tells him that she really is Angelique. Angelique forces Will to jump to his death after he refuses to tell her anything about Barnabas. Angelique warns Barnabas that she will find out his secret. Julia is able to awaken Roxanne, at the same time Angelique passes out.

'''Act I'''
+
Angelique enters the room, much to William's surprise. William tries to excuse himself, but Angelique shuts the door and locks it. She confesses that she is really Angelique and reminds him of "all the nights they used to spend with each other" and she kisses him.
+
At Loomis House, Barnabas and Julia leave the secret room after working on the unconscious woman. Julia admits that it's getting more and more difficult for her to fool Angelique, but will keep doing her best. Suddenly, Barnabas senses that William is in danger, but can't go to help him because it's almost dawn.
In the tower room, William continues to turn down Angelique's advances, which surprises her. She demands to know everything about Barnabas, but William manages to resist telling her anything.
Angelique tells William he isn't leaving the tower room until he tells her what Barnabas' secret is, and he gradually starts to lose his mental stability. He climbs up on a window ledge and tells her he will never betray Barnabas. He opens the window just as Julia arrives and William jumps out the window, falling to his death. As the two begin to run downstairs, Angelique stops and wonders how Julia knew she was in the tower room. Julia makes up a story that she heard voices and followed them, but Angelique shrugs off her story and decides to run off anyway. After she leaves Julia wonders if Quentin is hiding somewhere in the West Wing.
The two run to the courtyard and investigate William's dead body. Julia notes that his spinal cord snapped on impact and he died instantly. Angelique is shocked by her diagnosis and asks if she has a medical degree.

'''Act III'''

+
Julia is again able to lie her way out of Angelique's questions. The two head inside to report William's death.
+
+
At Loomis House the following night, Barnabas rises from his coffin and heads upstairs. As he is about to open the secret room, Angelique surprises him. Barnabas demands to know why she is in the house, and Angelique says she came to "pay respects to the widow." Realizing that William is dead, Barnabas grabs her and asks what he did to her. Angelique tells him he died so he wouldn't have to reveal Barnabas' secret, and she intends to find out what that secret is.
+
+
Later, Barnabas tells Julia he feels guilty about William's death, but Julia deduces that Angelique would have killed him eventually regardless because he knew too much. The two move the body to the basement of Loomis House, and Julia begins an experiment to bring Angelique's life force back to life. After a few moments, Barnabas feels the experiment isn't working and Julia decides to try again later. After Julia leaves, Barnabas talks to the body, wondering if he made a mistake by trying to bring her back to life. As he touches her face, she opens her eyes and sits up. As she rises, Angelique collapses in the foyer at Collinwood.
