Justin feels compelled to go to the locked room.

Synopsis

Collinwood in Parallel Time, and the fate of all who live at the Great House depends on Justin Collins's struggle to live, for when he dies one member of the family, chosen by lottery, must spend the night in a mysterious room. A night which will bring death or madness to the unlucky man. But if he survives the curse will be ended. So the family waits, hoping Justin's time has not come. But their only assurance is that no one has seen the specter of the Woman in White - a figure who always appears before the death and the lottery to come.

Justin Collins is near death. Gabriel is scared that he might be chosen in the lottery and considers ways to get out of it. Justin, mad, feels compelled to go to the locked room. Justin collapses and dies. Morgan plans to hold the lottery as Justin instructed.

Bloopers and continuity errors

Either the Old House (1841 PT) never existed when Brutus Collins was alive in 1680 and Collinwood was already existing  -OR- the lottery curse did follows the Collins family from the Old House (1841 PT) to Collinwood after the move in 1797 -OR- was there even a different house in 1680 before the Old House (1841 PT) was built since I do not remember it's construction date? I wonder what room Brutus Collins is referencing when the lottery curse started in 1680? How did the Collins family negotiate with the lottery curse entity in 1797, after the move to Collinwood to have the curse moved to Collinwood Tower room? I know this is the 1841 PT but the main events in all timelines seemed to be consistent, so we have to assume the move from the Old House (1841 PT) to the new Collinwood was 117 years after Brutus Collins 1680 letter.
