Nicholas Blair shows up at Collinwood claiming to be Cassandra's brother.

Synopsis

A night of horror at Collinwood, for a woman who came to the great house two-hundred years ago as a witch has come again, and has placed a spell so that the mistress of the house imagines that she lives in the year 1795, and the agony of it, as always, is on the people who love her.

Roger is very worried about Elizabeth, and expresses his fears to Barnabas, who attempts to comfort him. Roger tells Barnabas about the family legend of the tower room, in which someone was locked away, and was surprised that Barnabas found Elizabeth there. He explains it away as intuition.

Julia informs them that although the poisen is an old, herbal poisen, Elizabeth will survive her suicide attempt. She is still worried about Elizabeth's mental health and advises Roger to send her to Windcliff.

Professor Stokes continues to tutor Adam, whose reading and speech have greatly improved.

Background information and notes

Bloopers and continuity errors

  • After Roger goes to see if Cassandra is at the door a stage hand's hand can be seen opening the main outside door as Roger, Julia, and Barnabas talk in the entry to the Drawing Room.
  • A stage hand can be seen walking near the chair as the credits begin. As if that is not enough: there is no credit for Thayer David. And even though Nicholas Blair appears at the very end, there is no credit for Humbert Allen Astredo. The credits don't seem to have M. Stranistavsky's name fit across the screen, and the Dan Curtis logo wobbles around.
