Victoria receives a letter informing her that a private detective has investigated her background. Malloy confronts Burke about the accident.
Synopsis
- My name is Victoria Winters. The early morning mist rises from the sea at the foot of Widows' Hill. The great house sits quietly on its crest and the events of a shattering night seem almost like a vague memory of a forgotten dream. But it was no dream and there's no forgetting that a man had almost been killed.
In the Collinwood Kitchen, Vicki and Carolyn eat and talk about recent events. Vicki believes Burke; Bill accuses Burke and says he’s filled with hate. Carolyn hopes Vicki’s right, or she’ll feel guilty for bringing Burke to Collinwood. Vicki relates a story from the Foundling Home to assuage Carolyn’s opinion. Vicki learns that Wilbur Strake investigated her. Vicki uses logic and accuses Liz of knowing something about her past; Burke learns of the chain of gossip.
