Sebastian experiences a vision and warns against going to Daphne's room.

Synopsis

Teaser

The great estate of Collinwood in 1970. Julia and Barnabas wait for the first signs of the catastrophe that now is to happen. But the three people who know that ghosts stalk the house are caught in the evil spirits' spell. The children will not tell from fear, but Quentin Collins does not out of love. Love for a strange, sad governess from the past. This night, Gerard has planned a trap, and Quentin thinks Daphne will finally tell him why she came back to Collinwood this time.

Quentin goes to Daphne's room, but she is not there. Instead, Gerard appears behind him and prepares to strangle him with a piece of rope.

Act I

Julia catches Quentin's in Daphne's room and Gerard disappears. Quentin claims he heard someone walking through the West Wing, but didn't see anyone. Julia can feel Gerard's presence in the room, but feels they should stay in the room to see if anyone appears. Quentin gets upset because he feels that Julia and Barnabas are accusing everyone at Collinwood of knowing something about the impending disaster. He quickly changes the subject to Gerard and asks Julia if there is a connection, and possibly love, between Gerard and Daphne. Julia finds his question most curious and asks why he cares. Quentin says he only wants to know for future reference before hastily leaving the room.

The next morning, Elizabeth reads through her horoscope for the day and wonders who the enemy is that will become a friend. She calls Sebastian and asks him to come to Collinwood immediately, but Sebastian says he is "all booked up," even though his planner is empty. Elizabeth finds this suspicious, but Sebastian finally agrees to stop by at around 8pm. After hanging up the phone, Sebastian tells himself he doesn't want to see Collinwood ever again.

Act II

Quentin returns to the West Wing and wonders why he continues to come back to Daphne's room, but he decides he doesn't care if Julia catches him and he only wants to see Daphne. He enters the room and finds the rope that Gerard used to try and kill him on the floor. He begs Daphne to appear to him, but she doesn't. He puts the rope on the bed and leaves.

That night at 7:45pm, Roxanne tells Sebastian that he had better get going to Collinwood, but he doesn't want to. Sebastian admits that he lied through Elizabeth's entire horoscope, and everyone at Collinwood is in grave danger. Roxanne offers to go to Collinwood with him to help him deal with Elizabeth.

At Collinwood, a drunken Quentin leaves the drawing room as Sebastian and Roxanne arrive to meet with Elizabeth, however Elizabeth only wants to speak to Sebastian, and leaves Roxanne in the foyer with Julia. Julia is struck by the resemblances between this Roxanne and the one from Parallel Time.

In the drawing room, Sebastian isn't sure who the "enemy" is, but decides to "have a vision" to help Elizabeth, while Roxanne and Julia eavesdrop. In his vision, Sebastian sees Daphne's room in the West Wing and notes that the room has not been used in over a century. He says the room belonged to a teacher, before he begins to panic and exclaims no one must go into that room. When he comes to his senses, Sebastian tells Elizabeth that the enemy may not be one of the living.

Act III

Later that night, Elizabeth tells Julia and Quentin of her meeting with Sebastian. Julia tells Elizabeth that the room Sebastian saw is in the West Wing. Elizabeth wants to go there, but Quentin thinks it's a bad idea and might trigger the disaster. She gets frustrated and goes to the West Wing anyway. After she leaves, Julia tells Quentin he must be the one to deal with Sebastian and find out everything he knows.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth enters Daphne's room.

Act IV

Elizabeth notices the room feels cold, and Gerard appears in the corner.

Back at Sebastian's house, Sebastian regrets telling Elizabeth about the room and says he doesn't want anything more to do with the Collins family. He hates himself for not telling Elizabeth about the impending catastrophe, but Roxanne tells him everything is going to be alright.

Quentin catches Elizabeth in Daphne's room. Elizabeth tells Quentin she knows something terrible is going to happen at Collinwood and that her horoscope is wrong. She remarks to Quentin about the scent of lilacs, followed by an overwhelming sense of evil when she entered the room. She runs out of the room in a panic to find Julia.

Elizabeth rushes to the drawing room and calls for Julia, saying they must get the children out of the house, but she opens the doors and finds Gerard instead.

Memorable quotes

Elizabeth: You seem depressed tonight, Quentin.
Quentin: Without reason.
Elizabeth: There's always a reason.
Quentin: Oh my, how analytical we have all become probing each other's moods. Well, I think I'll probe the meaning of some book in my room.

Sebastian: The enemy may not be one of the living.

Julia: (of Daphne's room, forcefully) Elizabeth, you will not go into that room.
Elizabeth: (shocked) Julia, you sound like me when I'm talking to David.

Roxanne: (to Sebastian, of Elizabeth) She could have endowed a foundation for you.

Roxanne: Oh, Collinwood seemed so perfect.
