Synopsis
Teaser
- 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 visa 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 Quintofin, Beth goes to Tim Shaw for help; her story sounds, of course (and despite Tim’s knowledge of Petofi’s power), like complete lunacy.
Barnabas tells Petentin that he must immediately use his will/power to re-switch bodies with Quentofin. Tim wakens Beth from a nightmare (from Episodes 855 & 856); he has brought Quentofin to ‘help’ her. (No better way to help someone than by bringing them the thing they’re terrified of. What a big helper.)
Quentofin becomes woozy and sits; this momentary lapse in his guard allows Beth to flee. While chasing Beth, Quentofin 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.

Bloopers and continuity errors
- There is a slight wardrobe discrepancy between the scene at the end of the previous episode, and the recap of the same scene at the beginning of this episode (before the opening title credit / theme music plays). In the last scene of the last episode, Beth is wearing a purple shawl; in the recap of the same scene at the beginning of this episode, her shawl is made of a fabric that has a red paisley printed pattern.
