Jenny escapes; Barnabas and Judith plan to use Quentin as bait to trap her.
Synopsis[]
- Collinwood. The year is 1897, and Barnabas' desperate journey to the past to find two secrets and save two lives is endangered again. For in a house on the estate, Barnabas has a mad prisoner, a prisoner who in time could tell him much, but a prisoner who also could tell much about him.
Barnabas mentions his friends living in London instead of saying England. Jenny pushes Judith and runs out. Barnabas runs after her…and loses her. She hides from him. Jenny goes to the drawing room windows of Collinwood. Judith questions Barnabas and notes about Jenny's madness, "Her madness in some strange way is almost logical." Jenny was docile before Quentin returned. Judith stops Barnabas just as they start their search for Jenny. Judith tells him she is not really very trusting. Meanwhile, Jenny goes up the foyer stairs at Collinwood and comes right at the camera.
Beth warns Quentin. Quentin agrees to let Beth handle Jenny. He will leave for now until Beth does that. They kiss. Judith and Barnabas come in. Quentin mocks their ability to handle Jenny. Barnabas allows Judith to be extremely rude and undermining to Beth. Barnabas and Judith want Quentin to be bait to catch Jenny. Quentin tells Barnabas, "Cousin, you're making this into a comedy." Barnabas will hide in the curtains as Jenny arrives. Quentin says, "You know, I never expected to have to count on you, Cousin Barnabas."
8:15. Quentin has his rope. A half hour goes by and Barnabas thinks it is not going to work. Barnabas also admits to Quentin that he tires of the music. Barnabas mentions that Jenny might be with Laura Collins. Jenny goes to Beth's room and finds a knife from the kitchen there. Quentin goes to Beth's room with Beth. Jenny hides. Beth has feelings for Jenny but she's also against Jenny because of how Beth feels about Quentin. Quentin smiles that they have to get rid of Beth's conscience. Beth had to be nice to Jenny and it felt strange. She really meant it but on the other hand… Beth and Quentin kiss. Jenny sees this and comes out of hiding, raises the knife at them…

- Barnabas: I think so.
- Judith: I try to pretend that we're nicer than we actually are...but then something always comes up that makes me face the truth.
- Quentin: (about Jenny) When I'm not after her, she's after me.

- Beth: Quentin, please go!
- Quentin: ...that I demand a woman that has no other interests but mine. Having come from a divided family, I want complete attention.
- Quentin: (mocking Judith and Barnabas) You know, if I were ever a prisoner, I'd want you both as jailers.

- Joan Bennett steps on Terry Crawford's line when Beth greets Judith in the drawing room in Act I.
- David Selby flubs; he says "maul it over" instead of "mull it over". [David Selby's native southern accent may have slipped in in this line.]
- Jonathan Frid flubs the line about Jenny referring to the children as if they are real. He also stumbles when telling Quentin their plan to lure Jenny by playing Quentin's gramophone: “You will be playing your gramophone. It seems that one of the melodies...which you play, is...is very much to her liking.”
- Terry Crawford flubs the line about feeling the way she does about Quentin.
