Morgan locks himself in the room before Catherine can be taken there to spend the night.
Synopsis
- For over a century and a half, the Collins family has been haunted by a mysterious curse. To appease the evil spirit, one member of each generation has been chosen by lottery to spend a night in a mysterious locked room. All who have remained there have either died or gone insane. When Gabriel Collins drew the marked lottery slip he hired a villager to take his place, but the villager was discovered dead, and Gabriel roams the wood insane. Today the lottery has been held again, this time it is Catherine Collins who has been chosen.
Julia tells Daphne and Bramwell of Catherine's being chosen in the lottery. When they learn this they each try to dissuade her separately. Daphne pleads with her sister at Collinwood, but is interrupted by Morgan. Bramwell meets Catherine secretly at the gazeebo and pleads on behalf of their unborn child, but Catherine insists that she is saving both her and their child from the misery that the curse brings.
When the time comes for Catherine to enter the room, she finds that Morgan has locked himself in, determined to take his wife's place.
