Jamison asks her if she wants to go back to the school with Rev. Jamison wants to leave with their mother, but Nora wants her to stay with them at Collinwood. In the East Wing, Nora and Jamison try to get out of the room, but Edward has locked it from the outside and told them to stay there. Laura asks when Barnabas became the Master of Collinwood and could Edward be so inhumane to refuse a dying person her last request. When she tells him she wants a fire, he tells her he cannot because Barnabas forbid it. Laura tells Edward she is cold and he says he will get her a blanket.

When she awakens, she is sure Edward brought her here so Jamison could see her, but Edward says it was merely the closest room. Laura is in Jamison's bed, talking in her sleep. Edward tells Barnabas to call for a doctor, but Barnabas says she will die before a doctor can arrive. Edward refuses to allow it and Laura faints. After Barnabas leaves she tells Edward she is leaving and he will never see her again, but first she wants to see the children. Edward agrees to let him instruct the servants to this effect when Laura enters, demanding to speak to Edward and for Barnabas to leave. Barnabas says he must believe she does have supernatural powers and that under no circumstances must any fire or flame be lit in the house tonight. Edward believes Laura is insane, but not supernatural. In the drawing room, Edward and Barnabas discuss the children, who are safely hidden, and Laura. Angelique notes Laura has little time to complete her mission and getting angry will only use up valuable energy. This is how Angelique was in two places at once. Laura is confused because she saw Angelique burn up, but Angelique explains she expected Laura to try and destroy her, so she made a doppëlganger for Laura to destroy. Laura enters Jamison's room to wake him, but finds only a pile of clothes, and Angelique in the corner, laughing at her. Only Barnabas Collins is aware that the safety of Jamison and Nora is vital to the whole future of the Collins family.

One determined to snuff out the lives of two young children, the other equally determined to save them.

Teaser A violent conflict rages within the great house of Collinwood between two supernatural forces.
