Jeff asks Victoria to marry him. Adam becomes suicidal after he learns that he was created artificially, and that Carolyn does not love him.
Synopsis
- A gloomy day at the great estate of Collinwood, and to one girl it is a day filled with hurt and sorrow. For she has found out a sad truth: a good deed done selflessly, can cause as much agony as a malicious act.
A disheveled Carolyn comes downstairs and calls Professor Stokes. She is quite shaken and asks him to come to Collinwood immediately. She says she cannot go into Adam's room alone again. Jeff asks Victoria to marry him, and she happily accepts.
Stokes goes upstairs to talk to Adam. Adam professes his love for Carolyn and how he intends to marry her. Stokes sadly tells him that it is very unlikely. Adam believes Carolyn is afraid of falling in love, but Stokes tells him that is not the case. He finally tells Adam the truth about his origins. Adam does not take the news well, and orders Stokes to leave him alone. Despairing of ever winning Carolyn, Adam stabs himself.
Memorable quotes
- Professor Stokes: Miss Stoddard, are you much given to melodrama? No, I'll answer that myself.
- Victoria: Cassandra has left Roger.
- Professor Stokes: He has my congratulations.
- Professor Stokes: It simply means that the Queen is dead. Long live the King, if the Queen is truly dead which I now tend to doubt. Most disturbing news.
- Jeff: (to Victoria) Who do you love? Peter Bradford, Jeff Clark or both?

Bloopers and continuity errors
- The boom microphone can be seen at the top of the screen as Victoria goes to sit on the bench at the terrace.
- It was two months ago when Adam was created, (Adam was brought to life in 490, the passage of time suggested on-screen since then is closer to that of one month).
