Synopsis
Teaser
- A seance has been held in the great house at Collinwood, a seance that has suspended time and space, and sent one girl on an uncertain and frightening journey into the past, back to the year 1795. Fear of the unknown has turned others against her, and placed her very existance in peril. And the forces of evil, which have surrounded her fate, now threaten a deadly end to her journey.
Peter tries to talk Vicky into telling the truth at the trial. Victoria becomes hysterical trying to wake herself from the nightmare she's living. Trask convinces Nathan to testify again, this time he claims that Victoria had him under a spell. Vicky takes the stand and gives the real date of her birth. She tells of her journey from the future and offeres the book she brought with her as evidence. She is convicted of witchcraft and sentenced to hang. Victoria fainted after hearing this. Peter has the book for more evidence of Vicky’s innocence, Nathan comes in and they talk. More of the joke, “Mr. Trask,” and Trask correcting, “Rev. Trask.” It is Monday and Trask wants Nathan to testify that he was bewitched by Vicky and that’s why he helped Barnabas and Vicky. Nathan won’t say another word against that girl, he states.
As a child Vicky tells Peter she had nightmares and she would always wake herself up after the car crashed or the monster caught her or whatever and then wake herself up…uhm, why wouldn’t she wake herself up before the finale horror if she could? “It’s gone on for too long! It’s got to stop!!!” Peter slaps her.
Nathan is forced by Trask to re-testify with Trask leading him terribly and Peter not saying a word about Trask’s leading of Nathan. Nathan says, “Perhaps I’d been bewitched.” Peter cross examines Nathan about the first time he met Vicky and how Nathan tried to kiss her.
Vicky testifies that she was born in 1946 and was raised in a foundling home in NY. She left there in 1966 to be governess to a boy named David. She tells them she was in the drawing room and was knocked unconscious and found herself at the Old House, the house being 150 years younger. She tells them that everyone, even Nathan Forbes, has a counterpart there. Then they present the book! Natalie saw it and Josette saw it…The book was published in 1965 and is a history up to 1964 with photographs.
Trask cross examines Vicky and does a good job of making her look even more guilty, making her tell that the “meeting” that sent her to 1795 was in reality a séance where she and others tried to call up the dead! He even makes her admit she took part in séances before that time! Vicky tells the truth. Trask calls her a bride of the devil and that she flies through time.
The judges deliberate and after an hour it is 5pm and they still have not reached a decision. Trask tells Nathan he just tried to make him see the error of his ways, not blackmail him. Nathan has the urge to tell the judge everything about Trask. At 5:30 the judges return. Nathan hopes they free Vicky. The verdict is that they find her guilty and she will be hanged until dead. Vicky passes out.
