Mordecai Grimes is scheduled to testify at Quentin's witchcraft trial.

Synopsis

Teaser

Collinwood in the year 1840, an estate filled with fear and anxiety. For though the sudden appearance of Joanna Mills at Quentin's trial for witchcraft proves to the judges that he has not been trafficking with the dead, Joanna herself brings torment for two women. Samantha is terrified, convinced that she killed Joanna seven months before. And Daphne, responding both to Gerard's induced dreams and Joanna's appearance, realizes how much Joanna loves Quentin.

At the Collinsport Jail, Daphne tells Quentin she can’t see him anymore, because Joanna is still in love with him. After Quentin tries to convince her otherwise, Daphne confesses that she is planning to marry Gerard.

A short time later, he meets with Carrie in the woods.
