What if the distraught and [spoiler]suicidal[/spoiler]Beth Chavez, instead of leaving the [spoiler]bottle of poison[/spoiler]where Jamison could walk in and see it plainly, had had the presence of mind to hide it somewhere before Jamison came in? Would Jamison's rejection of Quentin* have been averted, and the events of 1969 altered? Would Barnabas' i-ching journey to 1897 have been aborted? [spoiler]Would Beth have gone ahead and killed herself?[/spoiler]
* The reason we finally learn why Quentin's ghost haunted Collinwood in 1969 and sought to take over the body of Jamison's 20th. cen. lookalike, David Collins.
