Constable Carter investigates Roger's car accident. David grabs the wrench so that his fingerprints will plausibly appear on it.
Synopsis
- Victoria Winters:
- My name is Victoria Winters. On the surface, the day at Collinwood seems calm and serene. Nothing could be more normal than my preparing to teach a young boy his school lessons. Yet there is an undercurrent—a tension that is felt everywhere, a tension that reaches out and builds and waits to break free.
Roger tells Carter that there’s an attempted murderer on the loose; he pushes Liz aside when she comes to him with the news that Vicki’s letter from the Foundling Home could cause her trouble. David asks Vicki if she ever tried to kill anybody and what would have happened to her if she had. Vicki attempts to quiz David on the history of Maine. David wonders why Roger’s never liked him. Carter’s pissed that 12 hours have passed since Roger learned of the bleeder valve; David asks Liz why the brakes ceased funxioning and freaks out when he learns the cops are afoot. Roger and Liz outline the circumstantial case they have against Burke; Vicki says that Burke hasn’t ever threatened Roger’s life (in front of her). David overhears the grownups discussing Burke’s guilt. Carter has a background check performed on Devlin. David learns about the magick of Corroborative evidence and fingerprints. The really good Constable sets down the wrench and lets David stare at & then paw it. (What a feeb. No wonder he’s replaced by a sheriff.) Roger’s pissed and the Constable’s a moron. (Was this before evidence bags?)
Memorable Quotes
- Constable Carter: (in response to David's lack of reply to his greeting) "It's alright. He's probably just impressed with the dignity of my badge."

Notes
- The Collinsport Fly can be seen flying around the drawing room while Constable Carter asks his questions.
Bloopers and Changes
- The following exchange occurred between Roger and Elizabeth as Vicki was heading for the garage with the constable:
Roger: "Are you going to stay here?"
Elizabeth: "No."
- She then shuts the door. Presumably, Roger's line was supposed to be something like, "Are you going to come with us?"
