the residents of Collinsport realize Victoria has not gone to Bangor as planned
Synopsis
- My name is Victoria Winters. Months ago I came to Collinwood to begin a new life only to find I may die here. I am held captive in a secret room in a deserted old house, and the inhabitants of Collinwood have only begun to suspect I'm missing.
Carolyn's car is missing, so they assume she drove to meet Joe despite it's not being like her. Liz worries. Joe shows up, saying he hasn't seen Carolyn in a week.
Burke and Carolyn have spent the evening on a date. They mostly talk about the worry their *whatever* would arouse at Collinwood, and Carolyn plans to say she spent the evening with Janet Fisher should anyone notice she left. Burke asks if Vicki's knowledgeable about their date, and she tells him about Frank Garner. He purports not to be jealous and they get closer physically.
Joe learns of Liz's attempts to locate Vicki. Joe calls his friend Maggie, who's been at the Diner all day and hasn't seen Vicki. Joe and Mrs. Johnson begin to question Carolyn's dress obsession if she was just going out with Vicki. Joe insinuates she may be out with... someone else. Liz allows him to search for her... there; both hope he doesn't find her.
Burke and Carolyn continue whatever they're doing; she says she's not sure of his feelings because of her Collinsness. Joe shows up and is infuriated when he finds Burke and Carolyn together. He admits Liz sent her because she's worried; he tries to take Carolyn home and he and Burke scuffle. Joe says Carolyn's not worth fighting over and finally spills the beans. Burke learns Vicki is missing and decides immediately to go to Collinwood; Liz tells Frank there's been no progress. The trio comes home; Liz orders Carolyn to her room. Liz and Burke talk. Liz asks Burke to leave Carolyn alone; he wants to help find Vicki. They begin to discuss the case; Liz is stunned when Joe finds Vicki's suitcase, and Burke realizes that the governess is still at Collinwood.
