Victoria is almost killed by a car whilst walking back to Collinwood.

Synopsis

My name is Victoria Winters. Instead of being a home Collinwood has turned into a chamber of horrors for me. At least I expected to be safe inside my locked room, but at Collinwood locks don't seem to fulfill the function for which they were designed. Last night someone definitely entered my room. Only my screams frightened away the intruder.

Victoria tells Elizabeth of her night fright; Elizabeth tells Victoria she'll have a new lock put on and give Victoria the only key. Elizabeth thinks it was a prowler but Victoria disagrees. Elizabeth questions David, whom she believes this time. Elizabeth tells Matthew that someone attempted to get into Victoria's room, which he disbelieves. Matthew suggests a bolt for Victoria's door. Victoria calls Burke and gets reminded that he's in Bangor. Then she calls Sam in order to talk to Maggie. Sam confesses that he was the one who wanted to talk to her. He tells her to meet him this evening, in order to tell her about the portrait. Victoria gives Sam a transparent message. Elizabeth tells Victoria no one went through the locked-off wing. Elizabeth calls the Cannery, but Roger's not there. When he comes home, he gets yelled at. Roger posits that Victoria's either crazy or has dangerous information after running through her laundry list of recent events. Matthew comes in after Roger tells Elizabeth that Victoria thinks she has information that has to do with Malloy's death. Roger scoffs that Victoria's bolting herself into her room. Roger thinks Victoria should leave Collinwood again; he's upset that she's in town.

Victoria meets Sam at the Blue Whale and has a drink. Sam tells Victoria he lied to get her here and didn't know anything about B. Hanscombe. Victoria learns that Sam knows the information she gave to Maggie. Sam is desperate for any information that Victoria has; she tells him to discuss it with Burke. She leaves.

Two miles outside of Collinsport, Victoria is nearly run over by a car! She comes home frantic, telling Elizabeth that someone tried to kill her. She relays the story, which happened half a mile from Collinwood. Elizabeth asks if she should call the Sheriff; Victoria says she has nothing to tell him. Elizabeth scolds Victoria, saying that if she's in danger, she oughtn't be walking alone. Victoria thinks Roger may have attempted the hit-and-run. Victoria calls Burke, who's back, and tells him of the attempt on her life. Elizabeth medicates Victoria and gets her to lie down.
