Quentin is surprised to see Jenny, his wife.
Synopsis[]
- Collinwood in the year 1897. The strange and terrifying events of that year are gradually being revealed to Barnabas Collins. He must unravel a mystery of the past in order to save the life of a young boy in the present. Before this night is over, he will learn of the existence of the strange woman in the great house, a woman plagued by madness. And this madness may change the course of history.
Beth mentions Judith is searching for Jenny. Judith has already searched the West Wing and is now searching the East Wing. Barnabas discovers Dirk outside, and he lies, claiming that Jamison is missing. Barnabas claims there is no way for the boy to get into the cellar and that the door to it was locked. Jenny went crazy and deliberately kills Quentin.

Bloopers and continuity errors[]
- When Barnabas and Quentin are talking in the Old House, there is off-stage coughing.
- In the cottage, Beth tries to light a candle, unsuccessfully; even so, the lighting brightens on her face as if she had done it.
- When Quentin discovers Beth in the cottage, he says, “How did you know to look for me here?” Beth replies, “I didn’t.” David Selby then seems to forget his lines. He says, “I see… uhhh…” and then looks toward the teleprompter before continuing.
- Dirk lies and tells Barnabas he is searching for Jamison when in fact he's searching for Jenny. Barnabas offers to join the search. Dirk says other family members are out looking, and maybe they've already found "her." Although not a blooper, since Dirk is looking for a woman, it's odd that Barnabas doesn't catch this and question him. [Addendum: There's no reason not think this was a blooper.]
- Jonathan Frid flubs a line when talking to Dirk:" "Then you...not telling me everything."
- When Dirk discovers Quentin’s body in the cottage, a shadow passes over Dirk on the left. This is likely Jonathan Frid taking position at the door.
