Blair approaches Angelique's coffin in the basement with a mallet and stake. He thinks that she won't suffer; that she will just cease to exist. He opens the coffin and finds it empty.


Blair vows to find Angelique and destroy her forever.

Angelique rises from a borrowed coffin. She calls to Barnabas, telling him it's time for them go go away forever. She calls him to come to her.


Eve notices that Blair looks concerned about something. He asks her if she knows about Angelique's disappearance. He says he has a score to settle with her, and he wants Eve to help him. She says she wouldn't lift a finger to help him.


Angelique wonders why Barnabas hasn't come to her. She thinks it might be Blair. She goes to the magic mirror and uses it to see Blair talking to Eve.



Eve tells him that Angelique has Barnabas under her spell. He tells her that Barnabas is gone. He has been sent to a hospital miles away. Blair realizes that with Barnabas out of the way, Angelique would be interested in Joe Haskell or Jeff Clark. Eve says she'll kill her if she tries to get to Jeff. She tells Blair that she wants him to help prove to Jeff that he's Peter Bradford. He asks how, and she tells him she wants him to send her back in time. He refuses, and tells her that he will destroy her if she drives him to do it. He sends her to watch Jeff. She asks if she's to stand by and watch while Angelique victimizes Jeff, and he says he doesn't care about Jeff.


In the garden, Vicki tells Jeff she's concerned about Barnabas, since Julia took him to Windcliff. She says when she was with him, he said no doctor could help him. Jeff tells her to let Julia worry about Barnabas. Jeff tells her he wants to get married on Friday. She asks him why so soon, and he says why not. She doesn't understand his sudden rush. He asks her not to ask him to explain why. She agrees and they kiss, as Eve watches. Jeff sees her and sends Vicki back inside.


He then asks Eve how long she has been watching him. She asks if he changed his wedding date because of her. Jeff tells her to stay away from him, and pushes her away.


He goes inside, and Angelique tells her not to follow Jeff. She says she came to see her so they can get better acquainted. She says they can help one another. Angelique says it's a shame Blair won't use his power to help him. She says that she can send her back in time. Eve doesn't believe her. Angelique says she needs her help to prove that Jeff is Peter Bradford. She says she can find proof in 1795, and upon her return it would allow her be with Jeff. Eve asks why she would help her, and Angelique explains that she hates Blair, and she needs protection during the day. Eve asks how soon she can send her back, and Angelique says she can do it tonight at midnight, but she needs to get Blair out of the house.


Eve returns, and Blair asks why she's not watching Jeff. She explains that Angelique won't find Jeff. She says she saw her in the woods, heading towards the hospital. Blair assumes she's going to see Joe, and tells her to go there. She suggests that he go instead. He says he'll deal with her when he returns, and leaves.


Angelique appears, and says Eve did well. She says she needs to find a medallion, and in no time finds it in his desk. Angelique turns down the lights, and tells Eve to sit in a chair. She says she will only have six hours in the past before she must return. Angelique uses a spell to send Eve back in time.



Our thoughts

John: Blair is having nothing but trouble with the ladies. I think perhaps he should have just gone with a race of manufactured super-men.

Christine: It's a lot of fun to see Angelique and Eve team up against him, and will be even more fun if he should find out about it. So, where is Angelique hiding away during the day? It almost looks like the Old House basement, but I don't think Barnabas keeps a coffin in there anymore.

John: Poor Vicki, catering to Jeff's every whim, and letting him get away with his silly antics without having to explain himself. Do they really expect to live happily ever after? I guess we'll see if the wedding happens this Friday.

Christine: I still think her trip to the past affected her brain and ability to use good judgement. I think she's only interested in Jeff Clark because he looks like Peter Bradford.

John: We've been introduced to a new means of temporary time travel. I wonder why Angelique even needed the medallion. Now that Eve has physically left the building, the question is, will Peter Bradford even recognize her?

Christine: The medallion is for dramatic effect since she's not supposed to have witchcraft powers still available to her, despite her ability to use the magic mirror. Peter may not recognize Eve by her appearance, but will probably know who she is by her overbearing personality.
