In the locked room, Elizabeth and Roger discover seaweed on the floor where Victoria saw Bill's ghost.

Synopsis

My name is Victoria Winters. Collinwood has a reputation for ghosts and spectres and the unseen widows who weep for their men missing at sea. I had always scoffed at these ghost stories until last night.

Victoria tells Carolyn of her experience with Bill Malloy's ghost. Elizabeth doubts Victoria's ghost story and denies that David's actions were 'a prank'. Victoria has decided to leave Collinwood. Roger concurs with her decision, because Victoria is 'clearly in danger' at Collinwood. Roger recounts to Elizabeth how he figured out David's scheme and reminds her of his son's attempted patricide (15). Elizabeth is upset at this and asks if lately there have been too many 'accidents' at Collinwood.

Carolyn goes to Victoria and begs her not to leave. Victoria asks if anyone missed her; Carolyn feels guilt. Carolyn tells Victoria about breaking up with Joe because he had plans with Maggie; Victoria reminds her of her cool demeanour towards Joe. Victoria tells Carolyn that she feels sorry for David because Collinwood has become his whole world and there's nothing he can do to get away from it.

Elizabeth worries about Victoria's sanity and asks Roger if he's ever seen a ghost. He's not sure he hasn't, and is sure Elizabeth can't say she isn't sure also. Roger suggests they look for ghostly evidence in the locked room.

Carolyn talks about her experience with Burke; Victoria wonders what Burke was celebrating.

Roger and Elizabeth go to the room and Roger recounts how he found Victoria after searching through 'miles of corridor'. He explains away Victoria's ghostly experience as a frightened dream. Elizabeth finds piles of David's things and realizes David's frequented the room and did what he did deliberately. Roger says David is a psychopath and that Victoria should leave for her own safety. Elizabeth asks if his beliefs have been influenced by Victoria's seeing Malloy's ghost. She points out the wet seaweed on the floor, which she believes substantiates Victoria's claim that she saw Malloy's ghost.

In the Drawing Room, Elizabeth believes Bill's ghost is restless and Roger scrambles to find alternative explanations. Elizabeth tries to convince Victoria to stay, as does Carolyn, but Roger again says she should leave. Victoria wants to consult David before leaving.
