Synopsis
- The light of a new day has never been more welcome to those who live at Collinwood. For they have just been subjected to a night of terror. They know now that this great old house is haunted by the spirit of an evil man. They will soon learn that this spirit will never rest until everyone who bears the name of Collins has been driven from the house.
Julia and Elizabeth are convinced that the children must be possessed; Professor Stokes agrees to help. Ned threatens Chris that he had better see his sister (Sabrina). A disembodied hand tries to stab Elizabeth with a letter opener; Stokes plans to perform an exorcism on Collinwood.
Chris and Julia visit Sabrina Stuart and find that she has been in a state of shock for the last 2 years (since she last saw Chris). When Sabrina sees Chris, she climbs out of her wheelchair and falls to the floor reaching out to him.
Memorable quotes
- Liz : There is a ghost in this house and he's taken possession of the children and he's using them to terrify the rest of us.
- Julia: There are two ghosts.
- Julia : Mrs. Stoddard, would you have believed me if I had told you there was a woman who was a ghost in your house?
- Liz : Before last night, perhaps not, but I believe you now.
- Stokes: I don't know yet what I"m going to do.
- Chris : I don't know I don't know what he's after. I don't know what he wants with me. I don't know.
- Julia : If you want any peace of mind, you've got to find out why they are here.
- Stokes : I am now convinced, Mrs. Stoddard, that every life in this house is in danger.
Dramatis personae
- Joan Bennett as Elizabeth Collins Stoddard
- Grayson Hall as Julia Hoffman
- Thayer David as Prof. Stokes
- Roger Davis as Ned Stuart
- Don Briscoe as Chris Jennings
- Lisa Richards as Sabrina Stuart
Background information and notes
- The narration now says the ghost of the man is an evil man, not lumping both ghosts together as evil.
- First appearance of Lisa Richards and the character Sabrina Stuart.
- The hotel room Chris and Julia meet Ned and Sabrina in is the same one that Jeff Clark used.
Bloopers and continuity errors
- The shadow of the boom microphone quickly passes over Liz's head in the opening scene. Shortly after, a crunching sound can be heard.
- The Cottage set seems smaller. (This could be due to the angle of the camera in which this episode was recorded.)
- Elizabeth has been aware of the secret panel leading from the drawing room to the west wing for years. (Previously, she seemed to be unaware of its existence, otherwise why would she have gone to the trouble of keeping the 'official' door to the west wing locked in early episodes.)
