In the drawing room, Barnabas tells Angelique that he knows how he feels. Trask bursts in and calls out, "Die, witch!" before shooting her. Barnabas wrestles the gun away from Trask and says he should have killed him before. He drops him to the ground and calls to Julia. 

Angelique asks him to hold her, telling him she's dying. He tells her that he loves her. She dies in his arms. 

Trask starts to get up, and Barnabas grabs him. Trask runs upstairs and Barnabas follows him. He finds his way into a room and grabs a letter opener. He stabs Barnabas with it, but Barnabas sticks it in his belly. Trask wanders into the room in the East Wing and is transported into parallel time. Barnabas sees him, and then watches as he disappears when the room reverts to being empty.

Barnabas comes downstairs and picks up Trask's gun. He lays it on a table and kneels beside Angelique's dead body. He tells her that he was so often blinded by his fury, yet beneath his rage was a love as strong as hers.  

Julia comes in, and he tells her that Angelique is dead. He says Trask killed her before she knew that he loved her. He explains that she was his only love, and she never knew. She asks what happened, and he says Trask attacked him, and has disappeared into parallel time.

Desmond wonders where Leticia is. Flora says she doesn't know. She's just pleased that he is free. She chides herself for falling for Gerard's charm. She says that at least he brought them Leticia. Leticia returns and she and Desmond embrace and kiss. Flora leaves them. He asks where she has been, and she says she's been walking on the beach. He tells her that they're leaving Collinsport to get married in New York.

Barnabas tells Julia and Stokes that the police believed his story. He adds that Angelique is to be buried in the family mausoleum. Stokes says they must return to their own time. Barnabas asks how, and Stokes says they must ascend Quentin's staircase. He says they must return to Collinwood in their time to know if they've succeeded. He says it's 1971 there now. Barnabas wonders about what their visit has done to Collinwood in 1971. Desmond walks in and asks if they've gone mad, saying 1971 is 130 years from now. Julia explains that they came from the future. Stokes says they came down Quentin's staircase. He says they must be destroyed. Barnabas tells them they must leave him there. They're adamant that he must return with them. Desmond says that if Barnabas is staying for Valerie's funeral, he and Leticia can stay. Barnabas agrees to trying to ascend the stairs. 

Desmond is amazed to hear about the room in the East Wing, after hearing about the stairs. Barnabas says he must stop Trask if he tries to escape from parallel time. Desmond assures them that if he escapes, he will deal with him. He says he will tell no one the secret but Leticia and Quentin. They say their goodbyes. He asks how he will know if they made it, and Barnabas says he must assume that they have. As they ascend the stairs, Julia asks what they should do if they return to Collinwood in ruins. At the top of the stairs, Stokes opens the door and the three step through into disco lights. 

Barnabas, Julia and Stokes exit the stairwell. Collinwood is still standing, and Julia assumes they changed everything.

Two hours later, Barnabas dressed in 1971 fashions, Barnabas says they haven't seen a single person in the whole house. Stokes points out the refrigerator was full of food. Julia says there are no signs of the ghosts of Gerard and Daphne. Elizabeth walks in and tells them they're all late for opening of the historical center. She tells them to hurry. She says she returned to get Roger's speech. Julia asks if David and Hallie are there, and Elizabeth confirms it. Barnabas asks about Quentin and Carolyn, and she says they are there as well. She finds Roger's speech, and invites them to go with her. She mentions to Stokes that she found a journal from one of her ancestors, Flora Collins, in the West Wing that she's giving to the historical society tonight. Barnabas tells Julia that the ghosts of Gerard and Daphne never came there. He says the stairway is likely no more; destroyed by Desmond. 

Desmond chops at the staircase, wondering if Barnabas, Julia and Stokes made it back to their own time.

Leticia calls to Desmond. He comes upstairs and she says she was worried about him. He tells her to come with her to the East Wing. 

Leticia can't believe that Valerie is dead, and Trask is in another band of time. He tells her to wait until she hears the rest. He opens the door to an empty room. He stops her before she enters, and it suddenly changes. They see Trask, stabbed, calling for help. Leticia says that he's dead. She then sees Julia enter and call to Flora. Flora arrives and says it finally happened. What they've dreaded. Julia shuts the doors Desmond and Leticia are watching from. Flora says first poor Stella, and now this stranger. Julia goes back to the door and looks for anyone. She sees no one. She tells Flora they must get rid of the body. 

Melanie is looking for Julia. She calls to her mother. Flora appears and Melanie tells her that her father is dying. Julia says that the lottery will happen again before the week is over.

Our thoughts:  

John: While tending to her wound, Barnabas was applying compressions to Angelique's chest like he was ringing a bell to call a servant!

 

Christine: It's interesting that Barnabas has finally realized that he loves Angelique. Think of all the trouble he could have saved the family if he'd admitted it much sooner. 

                                                                                                                           

John: So for all intents and purposes, it looks like on this day we saw the 'finale' of Dark Shadows. Chronologically speaking, anyway. And lest anyone think that 1840 parallel time would continue with any relevance to the show, Trask has up and died, and his body already disposed of. At this point, I'm doubting we'll even see any more of our time band in 1840.

 
Christine: At least we know there are two happy couples, the kids will survive, and Flora will go on to flourish as a novelist. Perhaps she'll go exploring in the east wing and get the inspiration to pen "The Collins Lottery." 

John: I guess it's now safe to assume we'll ride out the remainder of the show's run watching this other soap opera play out. This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.

 

Christine: It is disappointing to be whisked away to a parallel past without spending some time with the present day Collins family.

Angelique prepares to stab a voodoo doll with another pin when Gerard comes into the room. He realizes that she is in fact Miranda. He tells her that she has used her powers for the last time. He tells her that she's clever for recognizing him as Judah. He brings how he was beheaded because of her. He grabs her and she refuses to look into his eyes. He forces her to look him in the eyes, and tells her that he taught her powers when she was a young girl. She says that she has learned more since then. He threatens to make her human again. He takes away the powers he bestowed upon her. He lets go of her, he gives her back the voodoo doll, and his handkerchief. She wraps it around the dolls neck and tries to strangle it. It doesn't work. He grabs her and leads her out of the room.

Barnabas returns to the East Wing where she sees someone Melanie speaking to her father, Justin Collins. She reminds him that she was adopted. He tells her that she saved his life. Catherine comes into the room and greets Justin. She asks if he's feeling better, and he doesn't respond. She shows her wedding invitation to Melanie, who asks if she's inviting Bramwell to the wedding. Melanie explains that he's coming back. Catherine says that if Morgan wants it, Bramwell will be invited. Melanie shows Justin the invitation and he freaks out. Melanie sends Catherine to get his medication. Justin tells Melanie that Catherine must not marry Morgan. He says no strangers in the house... he mentions 'the room'... and says no one must know. Melanie tells him they will not have the lottery again. He tells her to close the door so they can talk. She does.

On the other side of the closed door, Barnabas wonders what room he was talking about. 

Gerard assures Dawson that Miranda is harmless. He doesn't want to keep her there. Gerard tells him that Quentin will soon be dead, and people will think that Judah Zachery is gone. He promises to return to Miranda to give her his full attention once Quentin is dead. Dawson asks for permission to kill her if she tries to escape. Gerard encourages him to try to keep her alive. Gerard tells her that he'll see her after the execution, and leaves. Dawson tells her not to try to escape.

Leticia visits Desmond in his cell. He asks her to promise to give a letter to Flora that changes his will so that Leticia will get his inheritance. She tells him Flora has gone to get the governor. He says they found a law allowing them to execute a warlock's follower without a trial. He tells her that had they made it to Boston, he would have married her. She asks him to marry her in his cell. He tells her that it would be too dangerous. They might say she was part of their coven and arrest her. He refuses. She asks him to say the words so they'll know in their hearts. She says her vows aloud, and he does the same. They kiss. 

Barnabas visits Quentin in his cell. Quentin says he deserves to die for allowing Gerard to fool him. Barnabas assures Quentin that he will rescue Daphne, and run Gerard out of Collinwood. He says that Quentin will be avenged. Quentin says that he's more concerned about Desmond. And then he expresses concern for Tad. He asks Barnabas to try and convince him that he's not guilty, and that he was not afraid to die. 

Dawson tells Miranda that she should have tried to fight Judah Zachery. She tells Dawson that she never used her powers to get a man, and that she could have gotten him. She goes to kiss him. He tells her that he almost believed her for a minute, but he knows how desperately she wants to escape. He says he's more afraid than he is attracted to her. He says there's nothing she could do to help Quentin or Desmond anyway. She asks why he won't let her go then. He tells her that she won't turn Judah against him, but when he turns away, she clocks him with a candlestick. Miranda realizes that he's dead.

Gerard counts down the minutes to Quentin's execution. Leticia comes in and calls him Judah, saying he killed Gerard. She pulls a knife and he disarms her. As he leaves, he tells her that she is no longer welcome in the house. 

Desmond and Quentin share a last moment together. Quentin tells him that what he minds the most is that Desmond got caught up in everything. The guards come for them, and Quentin leaves first.

Leticia tells Barnabas that she tried to kill Gerard, but nothing can save them now. He asks her where Valerie is.

The executioner practices on a log, slicing it in half. The guards bring Quentin out, and Gerard, who is there as a witness, tells Quentin that he wouldn't miss this for the world. Desmond watches as they lead Quentin to the executioner. 

They start to blindfold him and he refuses it. He says, "When I was born, I saw the light of day. And when I die, I want to see the dark of night." He gets into position beneath the executioner. 

Our thoughts:  

John: I love how people just decide to tune into parallel time as if it were a separate soap opera that they could pick up and follow on demand... I have to admit that I was surprised at this late date to see another new face. I was sure that Justin Collins would have been portrayed by Louis Edmonds.

 

Christine: Honestly, I'd love to see one of the characters standing at the door to parallel time with a bag of popcorn just once! The fact that Louis Edmonds is not playing the role of Justin Collins, in addition to the copious amount of pasty makeup he's wearing, might indicate that he has a short expiration date. 

                                                                                                                           

John: And just like that, Mirangelique is stripped of her powers? It's amazing how characters are so suddenly gifted with previously unused powers where the story calls for it!

 
Christine: It looks like he gave her a Barbie knockoff to test that her powers were gone. Perhaps that's why the spell didn't work!

John: You'd think they could have at least had the executioner raise the axe before the episode faded to black...

 

Christine: If you look closely while Quentin's head is on the chopping block, you'll see the pole swing back as it had been raised, though I suppose you were expecting the cliche blade in the air. It is still a chilling moment. Do you think heads will roll tomorrow, or will something completely ludicrous happen to save the day?

At Widow's Hill, Samantha calls for Gerard. Joanna appears and tells her that she's not the only one capable of forgery. She tells Samantha that she didn't fail that night on the hill; just as she will not fail. Samantha asks how she looks the way she does. Joanna says that she controls how Samantha sees her. She then tells her that she will now see what her body looked like after her body washed ashore months later. Joanna's face is replaced with a skull. Samantha screams and steps off the cliff. Joanna looks over the cliff and smiles.

Gerard comes downstairs and finds a note to Samantha on the floor. He reads about Widow's Hill as Joanna comes in. He asks if she's seen Samantha, and Joanna says not since their encounter earlier. He shows her the note. She points out that it's from him, and he clarifies that it's not his writing. He asks if she's sure she hasn't seen Samantha. She confirms it, and he leaves the house. 

Julia tends to Desmond. Quentin tells her that she should go back to Collinwood. She says Desmond should rest for another 24 hours. He tells Quentin to leave without him. Quentin says they'll all leave together. 

Daphne finds Joanna in the drawing room. They hear the front door, and see Gerard has returned, and is carrying Samantha's dead body. 

Daphne points out that the deaths keep adding up. Daphne asks how he found her. He says he went to Widow's Hill looking for her after he found a note supposedly from him asking her to meet him there. He says someone else wrote the note. Daphne asks who would do such a thing, and Gerard says it will raise more suspicion about Quentin. Daphne says Quentin is not responsible for Samantha's death. Gerard says he must go to Trask's funeral chapel and prepare for Samantha and Edith's services, pointing out that a servant found Edith's body in the East Wing. He leaves, and Joanna tells Daphne that Samantha stood in the way of she and Quentin. She says that now they can be married. Daphne says she's worried about Tad. 

Quentin is shocked to hear Samantha is dead. He laughs, and says he doesn't believe it. Joanna tells him that Gerard thinks he's the prime suspect. Quentin says that they have to get away as quickly as possible. He tells her that they'll need a carriage in the morning. He says they'll go to Boston to get Tad. He says the next time Gerard sees Tad, he'll be 21 years old and the master of Collinwood.

Julia returns to Collinwood. Gerard asks her if she's been treating another patient. She says yes, and he asks if her patient is Desmond. She says she has not been treating Desmond. He asks who she's been treating, and she says he doesn't know him. He asks if she knows the penalty of aiding and abetting an escaped prisoner. He says she's the logical choice to help Desmond. She points out that Quentin would know how he thinks, and not contact her for that reason. She goes upstairs. 

Daphne goes into the East Wing, and opens the door to parallel time. She sees Julia Collins go to the window with binoculars. She's watching Samantha meet Stella's brother. He says he will not leave town until he finds out what happened to his sister. Daphne then sees Samantha talking to Julia, asking what really happened to Stella. She says that she wasn't happy so she just left. She then closes the doors that shut Daphne out. 

Joanna finds her and asks her if she's been watching the other room again. She says she doesn't understand parallel time. Daphne says the people seem just as unhappy as everyone in their own time. Joanna tells her that tomorrow morning, she and Quentin are leaving Collinsport forever. 

Gerard watches as Julia leaves Collinwood in the middle of the night.

Julia arrives at the docks where Quentin and Desmond are hiding. She tells him that Gerard is asking questions. He asks if she was followed, and she says she wasn't. There's a knock at the door. It's Daphne. She tells Quentin that she wants to stay with him until it's time to go. He asks her to marry him, and she agrees. They kiss, and do not notice Gerard outside the window, eavesdropping on them.

Our thoughts:  

John: I'm sorry, Samantha would have popped like a balloon when she hit the rocks below Widow's Hill. That haphazard make-up just makes it look as if she needs to wash her face.

 

Christine: It does look like she was trying to put on makeup while riding in a carriage. Unlike other folks who've landed on the rocks below Widows' Hill, Samantha was discovered relatively quickly, so there was probably not sufficient time to have her look appropriately battered. At the very least they could have shredded and dirtied her pristine clothes.

 

John: Well, at least we know Tad is 'safe' in Boston... since we haven't seen hide nor hair of him since everyone in Collinwood started turning up dead.

 
Christine: The body count might seem to suggest we'll be leaving this time band behind very soon.

John: How is it that Daphne can not only see someone in the room in parallel time, but also see (not to mention hear) what Julia is watching through her binoculars?

 

Christine: I don't know that she gave any indication that she knew what parallel Julia was looking at, though I was rather focused on wondering whether or not it's the first time we've seen binocular view on the show.

Lost in the secret passages of Collinwood, Daphne finally finds a door that leads outside. She steps out and is grabbed by Gabriel. She screams, and he tells her that no one will hear her. As he chokes her, he hears his father's voice, and sees his ghost. Daniel tells him that he will kill no more, and he says that his time has come. Gabriel runs away from Daphne's unconscious body. Back in the house, he encounters his father's ghost again, which assures him that he will die this night. Around every corner, he s confronted by his father's ghost. 

Daphne comes to and gets up.

Gabriel returns to the East Wing and goes into the room where he observed parallel time, and begs for the room to change and take him away. His father's ghost appears, telling him that wherever he goes, he will follow him.

Daphne runs in the front door of Collinwood and finds Joanna. She says Gabriel killed Edith, his father, Randall... and will kill them all. She adds that he can walk. 

Gabriel tries to get away from his father, but he cannot. He goes out onto the roof, and complains to his father's ghost that no one loved him. Daniel's ghost tells him that he must die, and Gabriel falls through a banister on the roof. His dead body lies in the grass down below.

Daphne tells Joanna they aren't safe. She says she must go to Quentin. Joanna tells her that Quentin has escaped, and he's with Desmond. She asks why he didn't leave. Joanna says he was worried about what Gerard might do to her. Daphne tells her how she thought Gerard had killed Edith because she found what she thought was his cufflink. 

Julia finds Gabriel's dead body.

Daphne tells Joanna that she came to kill Quentin, and she might have done it. She says she doesn't know what to do. Julia returns and is glad to see Daphne safe. Daphne warns her about Gabriel, and she says she he's dead outside. Daphne explains that he could walk, and he was a murderer. Julia says that someone needs to let Quentin know that Daphne is safe.

Quentin tells Desmond that he sees someone coming. Desmond moans in pain. Quentin says it must have just been fishermen. Joanna comes in and tells him that Daphne is safe at Collinwood. 

Quentin asks Joanna when Gabriel found out he could walk. She says he told Daphne he could since he was a child. Quentin says he thought he ruined his life. He asks why he took Daphne, and she says he was going to use her to barter with Gerard. He wants to go to Collinwood, but she reiterates that it's not safe. Desmond reminds him that Gerard is in the house, and Samantha would turn him in if she saw him. Quentin tells Joanna to have Daphne meet him under the parapet in an hour. Joanna leaves, and Desmond tells him to be careful. 

Joanna tells Daphne that Quentin will meet her in an hour. She tells her that she knows Quentin doesn't love her now. His love was her reason to live, but she'll find another now. Julia suggests that Daphne get some rest, and she goes upstairs. Joanna tells Julia of the strange events she observed in the East Wing. Julia casually explains that she witnessed a separate time band that exists in that part of the house. She asks Joanna to describe what she saw. Joanna says she saw Gabriel talking to a woman named Melanie who looked like Leticia Fave. She says an employee, Stella, had disappeared, and Melanie was trying to find her. 

Julia goes to the East Wing to check out parallel time. She sees someone who looks like Willie/Will/Desmond, who tells someone that looks like Julia that his name is Kendrick Young, and he has come to see his sister Stella. He asks if she's a Collins, and she says obviously. He asks where his sister is, and she says she doesn't have the faintest ideas. She adds that his sister was flighty and didn't follow orders. She adds that she left yesterday, saying that she didn't like it in Collinwood. He doesn't believe her. She says they are well rid of her, and she has nothing else to say about her. She tells him to close the door on his way out. He tells her that he intends to find out what happened to his sister. The doors are slammed, and when Julia opens them again, the room is empty.

Quentin meets Joanna outside the house. She tells him that Daphne is in the East Wing waiting for him. She tells him to be careful, noting that Gerard and Samantha just returned. 

Daphne is in the East Wing when Quentin arrives. They embrace and kiss. She says they can't stay, and they step into an empty room. Daphne realizes where they are and says it's not safe for them to stay in the room, but before they can leave, the room is suddenly furnished. She tells him that they're trapped in another time!

Our thoughts:  

John: Gabriel had to work really hard to push himself through that breakaway banister! Do you think we weren't supposed to notice that he went from leaning to the banister on his right to one on his left when they cutaway? I'd love to know the explanation behind that. Of course he probably should have gone down to the basement and tried Quentin's time-traveling staircase instead...

 

Christine: My guess would be that Daniel can be seen in the shot when he leans on the right, but the fall looks better on the left. 

 

John: I had to laugh when Joanna referred to herself in the third person and told Quentin that Joanna was safe, and then adding that Daphne is safe! Glad to see she's come to terms with things, and isn't about to wig out again. Good for her!

 
Christine: I'm wondering if Julia's counterpart may be responsible for Stella's death after all, with the way she was dismissing Kendrick's concerns. 

John: So Daphne and Quentin have crossed over into parallel time. Honestly, how can that be a bad thing for either of them? And how long before Barnabas, Julia, Stokes, and other do the same? Do you think we'll ever return to 'normal time' before the show comes to an end in April?

 

Christine: I suppose it could be a bad thing if they have parallel counterparts, since it's been established that two counterparts can't coexist in the same time. It's possible the others may not make the journey to parallel time. I'm not sure we'll find our way back to the original time band. 

Whoops!

Joanna goes into a room, and doesn't see Gabriel hiding in the shadows, prepared to kill her. She leaves. 

Joanna comes downstairs. Gabriel wheels into the foyer and asks if she found her sister. She says she did not, and he tells her that he'll let her know if he sees her. She says she wanted to help Quentin. He asks why, and she says she thinks he would try. He says he's in mourning, having just lost his wife. She asks about the East Wing, asking if anyone goes in there. He says no, and she says she heard someone open a door last night. He says it might have been a ghost. She tells him that she doesn't believe in ghosts, and leaves. 

Quentin tells Joanna he's glad to see her. He says there isn't anything anyone can do for him. He adds that the worst thing is that Desmond is also in jail, and likely to be found guilty as well. Joanna says they can take Desmond with them. She tells him she bought a pistol. She says if he can break out, she will have everything worked out. She says there's a boat they can take to go to England. He asks about Daphne. She says he can decide if he wants to see Daphne when they get to England. She asks why he hesitates, and he says if he does, it will be an admission of guilt, and he's worried about Tad. He tells her that he doesn't know how, but he'll get to the boat. He then asks her to tell Desmond the same. Then she has to go to Collinwood to tell Daphne, or Leticia if she's not there. 

Leticia and Joanna are at the docks, and she's very excited. She suddenly has a feeling that it's not going to work. She says that something is going to happen, and they'll never get on the ship. Joanna tells her not to say that. Leticia says she's not ever going to see Desmond again after tonight. Joanna invites her to join them. She realizes Joanna is going with them, and asks about Daphne. Joanna says that they love Daphne, but Quentin belongs with him. Leticia realizes that she hasn't told Daphne. Joanna reiterates that Desmond wants her to come with them. She doesn't believe it. She says she'll be there when they come, and says she has to run an errand.

Gabriel tells Leticia she doesn't know where Daphne is, and suggests that she may have made an enemy. He points out that Gerard is also missing. He tells her about Daphne's confrontation with Gerard in Edith's room. Leticia points out that Gerard is fond of Daphne, but admits he has a temper. Leticia says they have got to find them. He says he can't help with his legs. 

The clock strikes 11, and Quentin calls the guard, complaining about his stomach. The guard comes into the cell and Quentin knocks him out with a karate-chop to the neck. He takes his keys and leaves. He goes to Desmond and lets him out. The guard wakes and grabs Quentin. They struggle, and in the melee, Desmond is shot. Quentin knocks the guard out again, and helps Desmond out of the jail.

Quentin tends to Desmond, who tells him to go with Joanna. Quentin tells her that they're taking Desmond with them. Desmond calls for Leticia. Leticia arrives and tells Quentin that Gerard has Daphne. She's then upset to see Desmond shot. She tells Quentin that they can't take Desmond. He says he can't go either, because of Daphne. Leticia goes to get Julia to treat Desmond. Quentin tells Desmond that they almost made it. Joanna asks Quentin if he's talking about Daphne. He says he's got to go to Collinwood. Joanna asks if he can forget about Daphne, and he says he can't. He tells her that he realized in jail that he couldn't live without Daphne. Joanna says she understands, but asks him to get on the ship. He tells her he'll take her to the ship. 

Leticia returns to Desmond, and tells him Julia is coming. She asks if his pain is bad. He says no, but she doesn't believe him. He says it's not when he holds her hand, and tells her that she shouldn't be there. He says they could have gone to England together. She didn't realize that he wanted her to come with them. He tells her that he loves her. She tells him that she loves him, too. They kiss.

Gabriel hears his voice in the East Wing. He sees himself in parallel time, talking to Stella. He asks if she likes Brandy, and she tells him she never touches spirits. He asks if his mother laid down the ground rules of the house, and based on her reaction, realizes that she has. Stella asks why she has to lock her door at night. He says that people in the village says they're proud. He warns her that if she stays, she'll end up like them. He tells her that he's going to go pick a lock on the cabinet that holds the brandy. 

Stella goes to shut the door, and asks the person Gabriel can't see if they've been hiding behind the door all this time. She then asks why they have a knife in their hand. The door shuts and she screams. Gabriel pounds on the door and tries to get in.

Our thoughts: 

John: I had to laugh when Gabriel told Joanna that he'd let her know if he sees her wife! Poor Gabriel has wives on the brain!

 

Christine: I had to play that again to make sure I heard him right. Quite the Freudian slip!

 

John: If breaking out of jail were so easy, why hadn't Quentin escaped by now? Of course, if you're not going to use a more debilitating attack, he should have at least a) disarmed the guard and b) locked him in the cell. Clearly he's not an experienced escape artist. It should come as no surprise that they won't all be sailing off to England to live happily ever after. Of course, if they had, I assume that it would have meant those four actors were being written out of the show, and this was their swan song...

 
Christine: It still gives Quentin the opportunity to try and vindicate himself somehow, or at least take care of Gerard while he's out.

John: Gabriel finally got to tune in to parallel time, perhaps just in time to see Stella get her groove back. At least his parallel-time counterpart appears to be yet another unsavory character. We'll see if we find out who her (attempted?) murderer is tomorrow.

 

Christine: I hope it's Julia. Her last parallel counterpart was pretty wicked, so hopefully this one shall be too. It looks like they are already drawing us in to parallel time, wondering why the family has to lock their doors at night, who hides behind doors with knives, and if Gabriel will successfully nab himself some brandy and behave badly.
