Nora asks her father not to send her and Jamison away to Worthington Hall.
Synopsis[]
- Collinwood in the year 1897: Barnabas Collins has gone back in time, hoping to unravel the mysteries of the past in order to save the life of a young boy in the present, but his progress has been impeded by several obstacles, including the appearance of old enemies who would like to destroy him. But his severest handicap is one he has long been familiar with, for back in this time, Barnabas Collins must suffer the terrible curse that was placed on him so long ago. Once again he is a creature of the night, one of the living dead.
Barnabas bites Charity Trask and puts her under his spell. Edward returns home and is told Jamison has run away. Quentin asks Edward where Jenny is; however, he refuses to tell. Quentin discusses Laura Collins (Edward’s wife) who apparently left Collinsport with him a year earlier and Quentin relays that he last saw her in Egypt. Nora draws a picture in Egyptian hieroglyphics that say her mother is coming home; later she sees her mother in the flames of the fireplace.

- Nora: We're happy here at Collinwood.
- Edward (to Quentin, regarding Jenny): I understand a great many things, including her desire to kill you.
