Quentin threatens Judith, demanding to know where Jenny is; he plans to kill her when he finds her. Jamison is to be sent to Worthington Hall that night, but he goes missing.
Synopsis[]
- Collinwood. The year is 1897. Barnabas Collins must end the curse which started here in the past. And on this night, he waits while a man who resembles a long-dead enemy attempts to draw a man's spirit from a possessed child and place it in the cold, dead body where it belongs.
After Trask finishes his ceremony, Quentin and Jamison return to normal. Trask tries to intimidate Jamison into agreeing to go to Worthington Hall. Quentin threatens Judith, demanding to know where Jenny is; he plans to kill her when he finds her. Jamison runs away from Collinwood.
Memorable quotes[]
- Judith: I simply think we must give the Reverend Trask a chance.
- Barnabas: So-called Reverend Trask.
- Judith: What do you mean by that?
- Barnabas: I find it difficult to believe that any church would claim him. I'd wager that if you had him investigated, you'd find that his title comes from some obscure sect that he himself founded.
- Judith: You’ve only been in this country a few weeks. You seem to have formed a surprising amount of opinions in that time.
- Barnabas: If I’d only been here a matter of a few hours, I would have thought it idiocy to assume that a praying bigot could turn a zombie into a man.
- Quentin (to. Rev. Trask): Who are you? Judith, some new flunky?
- Judith: Quentin, you owe Reverend Trask a great deal.
- Quentin: Reverend. Well, have you told him I never pay my debts?
- Barnabas (to Quentin): You dabble in…odd things. Perhaps one of your interests resulted in this.
- Rev. Trask (to Jamison): Do you want to grow up to be the disappointment to your father that you’re going to be?

Story[]
Bloopers and continuity errors[]
- In the reprise of the previous episode, Barnabas is no longer wearing his overcoat.
- At the beginning of Act I, when Judith is pulling on the drawing room door to slam it back closed, she accidentally lets go of the doorknob and has to grab it again.
- Joan Bennett flubs a line in Act I: "You've only been in this Quen...country a few weeks."
- A yellow "X" made of tape to mark the spot for blocking can clearly be seen near Jamison's shoulder as he collapses to the floor.
- Jonathan Frid flubs his line in Act I: "Because I care...of the effects that...that all this is having on poor Jamison."
- When Trask and Jamison begin their talk in Jamison's room, when they're talking Jamison missing his pony, there is a lot of off-stage noise, including footsteps.
- The following time is given: 9pm as Jamison tells Judith about Gregory. However, this conflicts with the 9pm time given in the previous episode as it would appear to still be the same night.
- In the drawing room, when Trask tells Jamison to tell Judith "what you told me," Joan Bennett glances at the teleprompter two or three times.
- Right before Jamison says, "No, you're lying! You're lying!" to Trask, Jerry Lacy smiles, looks to the teleprompter, and starts mouthing some words.
- Toward the end of the episode, as the grandfather clock strikes 10, the top of someone's head moves past the bottom of the screen, perhaps Jonathan Frid taking his place to begin the scene. Then, as the camera pans to Barnabas facing Judith, Joan Bennett lowers her head to signal Jonathan Frid to say his line (Frid's back is turned to the camera so can't see his cue).
- After Trask knocks on the door and as Judith heads toward the staircase, a boom mic shadow can be seen moving across Barnabas's head.
- Barnabas tells Trask, “An authority of our family brought in...someone who knew about witches," the line likely being "brought in an authority on witches." Then he looks at the teleprompter before going on to say, "His name was Trask too." The line should have been “brought in an authority on witches.”
