Synopsis
Teaser
- A séance was held in the Great House of Collinwood, a séance which sent Victoria Winters back on an uncertain and frightening journey to the past--back to the Collins family who lived in the year 1795, where a strange, haunted honeymoon follows a marriage which cannot logically be explained.
At the Collinsport Inn, Jeremiah Collins and Josette du Prés have recently eloped. Both are still marked with pitchforks on their hands, and both are deeply in love. Neither are aware that their love has been engineered by the witch Angelique Bouchard.
Act I
Later, Josette wakes and sits by the fireplace. She imagines hearing André du Prés and Barnabas Collins' voices, both accusing her of betrayal. Jeremiah wakes, and Josette tells him they must go back to Collinwood. She breaks down in tears, feeling enormous guilt over her actions. Jeremiah tries to comfort her but Josette pulls away, not wanting her new husband to touch her. Unable to bear the unhappiness she has caused, Josette insists on Jeremiah returning them both to Collinwood tonight. Jeremiah reluctantly agrees. Josette notices the pitchfork mark on her hand has disappeared.
Act II
The following morning, André visits a despondent Barnabas to clear the air of secret thoughts running rampant throughout the house. Barnabas still refuses to believe that Jeremiah and Josette might have run off together. André comforts Barnabas, giving him assurance that Josette loves him and how all she wanted was to marry Barnabas. Joshua Collins interrupts, declaring that Jeremiah and Josette are the victims of witchcraft. He informs them that Natalie du Prés and Abigail Collins have found evidence pointing toward Victoria as the witch. Barnabas defends the governess, and is aghast to learn that Reverend Trask has been summoned from Salem to determined whether Victoria is a witch or not. Unwilling to see Victoria persecuted, Barnabas threatens to put an end to the entire matter. But Joshua warns his son to mind his own business, otherwise he too will be considered an enemy. Barnabas glares at his father.
Act III
That afternoon, Jeremiah and Josette return to the house and Jeremiah sends the servant Riggs to fetch Joshua. Like Josette, Jeremiah's pitchfork brand has also vanished. They both have clearer heads; they admit to feeling no love for one another. At that moment, André and Joshua come in. André embraces his daughter, while Joshua demands an explanation from his brother. But Jeremiah is at a loss for words.
Act IV
Jeremiah finds his voice, shocking Joshua and André with the news that he and Josette are married. The two older man round angrily on Jeremiah, who concedes that both he and Josette are unwelcome. Joshua, however, refuses to tolerate the scandal that would erupt if Jeremiah and Josette stayed in the village. He insists on the newlyweds remaining at the house. Barnabas returns from the shipyard and is devastated to learn of the marriage. Choked with emotion, he confronts Josette and Jeremiah, neither one offering an explanation for their actions. Barnabas grabs Jeremiah's glove and slaps his uncle across the face, demanding a duel between them. Joshua insists there will be no duel, and Josette begs Barnabas not to go through with it. Barnabas, however, determines to fight his uncle to the death.
