VOICEOVER (Nancy Barrett):  "The great house of Collinwood stands in the 20th century as it did in the 18th ... a silent witness to the tragedies of the Collins family then and now.  For time has been suspended here, and the clock's hands have stopped as a result of a seance ... and the girl who is missing, whose journey to the year 1795 began in this room ... at this table ... that girl now is about to die ..."

"Convicted of witchcraft and sentenced to hang ..."

 

And now, two minutes in time are parallel.  During one tick of the clock in 1968, months have passed in 1795.  Now, only seconds remain ..."

"One woman still stands at the gallows, her death nearer and nearer.  And two moments in time are parallel ... and the great clock suddenly starts again ..."

"The members of the seance stare in horror and disbelief, for where Victoria Winters sat there is a stranger who was on her way to this estate 170 years ago ... a stranger to all except one man, who lived then as well as now ..."

Barnabas demands to know:  "What are you doing here?"  But Phyllis Wicke has already begun to choke ...

Vicki returns, screaming, while Phyllis has taken her place at the gallows in the past.  

Julia explains that she is a doctor.  Liz:  "Miss Hoffman!"

Julia commands someone to fetch smelling salts.  Carolyn volunteers.  Julia:  "Shall I trust you, Carolyn?"  Carolyn:  "Why shouldn't you?"  And she flounces away.

Roger wants to search the house for the missing Mistress Wicke.

Vicki begins to revive ...

Vicki, upon seeing Barnabas:  "Millicent was right.  She said you weren't dead.  I'm so glad!"

Julia:  "You're always in such control of everything and everybody.  It's quite interesting to see you when you aren't."

While Barnabas decides that Vicki may never speak again ...
