[[Joanna Mills|Joanna]] searches for her sister [[Daphne Harridge|Daphne]], who is being held captive by [[Gabriel Collins|Gabriel]].

== Synopsis ==

'''Teaser'''

: ''The great house at [[Collinwood]] in the year [[1840]], on a terror-filled night when a great search is being conducted. One is for [[Quentin Collins (1840)|Quentin Collins]] who has escaped jail with his friend [[Desmond Collins|Desmond]]. The other is for [[Daphne Harridge]], who has been abducted by [[Gabriel Collins]], and is being held prisoner in the abandoned [[east wing]] of Collinwood. In that same east wing, Gabriel has discovered a [[Parallel Time Room|room]], which exists in a [[Parallel Time|parallel band of time]], where people look the same, but lead different lives. He has been shocked to discover [[Gabriel Collins (PT)|his own counterpart]] in that world, and he is soon to learn that there is a dark and terrifying [[secret]] in that other [[Collinwood (1841 PT)|Collinwood]].''

Gabriel tries to enter the Parallel Time room, but the doors are locked.

'''Act I'''

Gabriel is finally able to enter the Parallel Time room, but it’s empty.

Quentin and Joanna return to their hideout near the docks. Joanna scolds Quentin for not getting on the boat, but Quentin refuses to listen to her. Leticia informs him that Desmond is not doing well. Quentin decides to go to Collinwood to search for Daphne, even though the police are searching for him, but Joanna convinces him to let her go in his place.

In the East Wing, Daphne tries to cozy up to Gabriel in an attempt to escape, but she eventually breaks down.  Gabriel decides he’ll give Daphne one more chance to “be nice” to him, or he’ll kill her.  After he leaves, Daphne attempts to use a candle to burn the ropes that are tying her to the chair.

'''Act II'''

Joanna returns to Collinwood and asks Gabriel if he’s seen Daphne, which he denies. He mentions Gerard is very concerned with Quentin’s escape, and is out searching for him with the police.  Joanna wonders if Daphne is somewhere in Collinwood.

Meanwhile, Daphne successfully burns off her ropes and finds a secret passage out of the East Wing.

Downstairs, Joanna tells Gabriel she is going to search the East Wing for Daphne.

After walking through the empty corridors of Collinwood, Daphne realizes she is lost.

'''Act III'''

Gabriel gets to the East Wing before Joanna does, and finds that Daphne has escaped. He finds the secret passage, and is nearly caught by Joanna, who has arrived just behind him. Joanna finds the burned ropes and a plate of food, and realizes that Daphne was being held prisoner.

In the secret passages, Gabriel closes in on Daphne.

Back at the docks, Leticia informs Quentin that Desmond is sleeping. Joanna still hasn’t returned, and Quentin wonders if something has happened to her.  Quentin again decides to go to Collinwood, but Leticia talks him out of it.

While searching for Daphne, Joanna stumbles upon the Parallel Time room.

'''Act IV'''

As Joanna watches, a parallel Gabriel talks with a girl named Melanie.  She asks him what happened to Stella, but a drunken Gabriel only has interest in talking about liquor that he keeps hidden around Collinwood. He points out the fact that she only has the Collins name because she was adopted, and she should never question a real Collins. This saddens Melanie, and Gabriel immediately apologizes for his behavior. Melanie again asks about Stella’s whereabouts.  Gabriel tells her “she went away,” which Melanie is skeptical of. Before closing the doors on Joanna, Gabriel reminds Melanie that most questions asked in Collinwood will simply go unanswered.

In the regular time band, Daphne finally escapes but is immediately recaptured by Gabriel.

== Memorable quotes ==

: '''[[Gabriel Collins (PT)|Gabriel (PT)]]''': [[Melanie Collins|Melanie]], haven't you lived here long enough to know that you can't ask questions around here? They're never answered. Things that happen, just happen.

== Dramatis personae ==

* [[Nancy Barrett]] as [[Leticia Faye]] / [[Melanie Collins]]
* [[Kate Jackson]] as [[Daphne Harridge]]

== Background information and notes ==

=== Production ===

* First appearance of character [[Melanie Collins]]. This was the sixth role played by actress [[Nancy Barrett]] in the [[Dark Shadows (1966)|original series]].
* [[File:1190-credits.jpg|thumb]][[:Category:Closing credits|Closing credits]] scene: Disused room in the [[east wing]] of [[Collinwood]].

=== Story ===

* '''[[INTERNAL MONOLOGUE]]''': [[Daphne Harridge|Daphne]]: (recalls [[Gabriel Collins|Gabriel's]] words, his voice) / Lost; [[Joanna Mills|Joanna]]: Daphne.
* '''[[TIMELINE]]''': Day 439 begins, and will end in [[1194]]. Daphne was being fed whilst held captive, (suggesting a significant amount of time has passed since she was captured in [[1188]]). Joanna has been gone three hours.

== Bloopers and continuity errors ==

* When [[Gabriel Collins|Gabriel]] gags [[Daphne Harridge|Daphne]] with a handkerchief, [[Christopher Pennock]] fails to tie it properly, forcing [[Kate Jackson]] to bite into the handkerchief to keep it from falling out of her mouth. After he leaves the room, half of the untied handkerchief falls into her lap while she pretends to make muffled screams.
* After Daphne discovers the secret door, she goes back into the room to get the candle. As she approaches the secret door again, the scraping door-opening sound occurs again even though she is not touching the door.
* When PT Gabriel is apologizing to Melanie in Act 4, he calls her "Melenia."
