Beth, having learned of Quentin and Count Petofi's switch, looks for help but cannot avoid tragedy.
Synopsis
- Collinwood in the year 1897. On a dark and terrible night such as this not long ago the notorious Count Petofi masterminded an act of evil that threatened the future of the entire Collins family. Using his legendary powers, Petofi successfully transferred his own mind into the body of Quentin Collins and vice versa. On this night a young woman who loves Quentin is on the verge of discovering the horrible truth.
After suffering an apalling revelation about Quentin (Petofi), Beth goes to Tim Shaw for help; her story sounds like complete lunacy.
Barnabas tells Petofi (Quentin) that he must immediately use his will/power to re-switch bodies with Quentin (Petofi). Tim wakens Beth from a nightmare (855, 856); he has brought Quentin (Petofi) to 'help' her.
Quentin (Petofi) becomes woozy and sits; this momentary lapse in his guard allows Beth to flee. While chasing Beth, Quentin (Petofi) collapses. Horrifying screaming ensues. Quentin's Theme plays mystically over the woods as Quentin is reunited with Quentin, and Petofi is again Petofi. Sadly, Beth is unaware of the switch and teeters perilously close to the edge of Widow's Hill.
