1968: Professor Stokes vs. Angelique Collins
Episode #508
Aired 6/5/68
Written by Sam Hall
Directed by Lela Swift
In a desperate attempt to end Cassandra's Dream Curse, Professor Stokes, seeking his own dragon a la St. George, attempts to insert himself into Carolyn Stoddard's dream. Once in the Dream Chamber, he will confront the witch: Angelique Collins.
ANGELIQUE: Ben Stokes!
ANGELIQUE: I should know you.
STOKES: As I do know you. You are Angelique Collins ... and I, Timothy Stokes.
ANGELIQUE: You are Ben to me.
STOKES: Ben was ignorant. I am not.
ANGELIQUE: I can make you as ignorant as he was!
STOKES: I do not trust your eyes.
ANGELIQUE: Why are you so interested in saving Barnabas Collins?
STOKES: Shall I simply say I loathe injustice. (Angelique laughs.) That amuses you. I suppose injustice does.
ANGELIQUE: Do you know what he is? Do you know everything he has done?
ANGELIQUE: I do not believe that you are not Ben Stokes. I could tell by your hand. I remember his well. I told his future many times.
ANGELIQUE: Go to the door. You will have helped me, not stopped me.
STOKES: Cassandra Collins!
ANGELIQUE: I know no Cassandra Collins.
STOKES: You are Cassandra Collins!
ANGELIQUE: Your heart is beginning to beat faster ... and faster ...
ANGELIQUE: You are mute! You cannot speak!
STOKES: Have you no new tricks, Cassandra? You've grown very lazy!
STOKES: Nothing will stop me, now that I know who you are ... and what you are.
ANGELIQUE: You have not won, Ben Stokes. You will never win. (Fade out on Angelique's fiendish laughter ...)
