Synopsis

My name is Victoria Winters. In the past week three attempts have been made on my life by an unknown assassin. A man who has already killed once. I have just learnt that man's identity.

Vicki has learned that Matthew killed Bill Malloy and that she won't be allowed to leave. He says the only way she won't talk is if she's dead. She tries to reason with him, stating that killing her won't free him. He doesn't want to kill her. He purports that Malloy's death was accidental and a struggle resulted in the death. Matthew relates his story, including hiding when Roger saw Malloy's body. Vicki continues to attempt to reason with Morgan.

Frank frets and goes over and over in his mind (and aloud) the recent happenings. Frank posits Vicki must still be on the grounds. Sheriff Patterson orders more men. They haven't searched the woods yet because the woods are too hard to search sans extra men. Liz says there are three houses plus greenhouses, barns, and sheds on Collinwood.

Vicki continues to try to convince Matthew that her murder will lead to his guilt. She says only four people ( Mrs. Johnson, Matthew, Liz, and David) are at Collinwood. He reveals his attempts on her life and claims to have only been trying to scare her (103 and 104). Matthew plans to kill Vicki and stash her body in a cove. Vicki's tears prevent her murder temporarily.

Liz worries that Vicki might have stumbled into a cove or cave or something and won't be found for days. Liz realizes that Matthew knows the grounds best but hasn't reported back; he's usually quite prompt. She calls him. He refuses to answer, knowing it's Liz. The cunning Matthew believes she'll think he's out looking for Vicki and he prepares his lie for the night. Frank worries that whoever has made the attempts on Vicki's life is responsible for her disappearance. Frank asks who may have benefited from Malloy's death. Liz admits that Malloy died on the outs with the Collinses. She reveals he was about to cause trouble for the family. Frank reveals that the manslaughter case might have come into play in Malloy's death and Vicki's resultant disappearance. They eliminate Roger and Sam, who are being held/watched by the police, as suspects. Frank asks if anyone would want to protect Liz — someone close who would kill for her. Does Liz know anybody like that?

Matthew admits to killing a dog (mercy killing). He promises not to let Vicki suffer. Vicki tells him she'll struggle, which will implicate him. Matthew begins to strangle Vicki when Liz bursts into the cottage. Vicki reveals, "He killed Bill Malloy and he's trying to kill me!"
