Count Petofi causes Quentin to become temporarily blind.

Synopsis

Collinwood, the turn of the century, and in the great house there is an ominous air in every action. It is as if those who live here have lost their ability to tell what is evil and what is not. And so, Count Petofi offers to take all of Quentin's cares away, and for once, Quentin does not question Petofi's motives.

Petofi visits Quentin and, offering to take all Quentin's cares away, renders Quentin unconscious in an intimate ritual. The ritual is a mind switch. When Quentin wakes, Petofi's ring has been transferred to Quentin and he can not remove it.

Kitty, continuing to have Josette's memories, recognizes the ring as having been worn by her dead husband.

Petofi assures Beth that he will get revenge on Quentin for what he did to her.

Quentin experiences strange effects after wearing the ring. Petofi reminds Quentin that he will have to pay for the curse being lifted, and shows Quentin that subtle changes have appeared in the portrait, after which Quentin is temporary blinded by Petofi, in a display of Petofi's power over Quentin.

After returning to Collinwood, Quentin accuses Kitty of coming to Collinsport with the intention of marrying Edward for his money.

Petofi prepares for a significant ritual, for which he requires a night in undisturbed meditation.
