... graphic for Scene 202 -
- was made by somewhat cropping a version of this still -
(Click here for a 880X700 version)

Stokes keeps trying the door, then leans his back against it, staring at the fire spreading around his room. Quentin's image continues to laugh at him. Stokes, desperate, grabs, a candlestick and smashes the mirror, covering his eyes to protect them from the class. Miraculously, the fire goes out. Stokes stares around himself, asking for a moment, when Roger knocks at the door. Stokes assures him, I am NOT all right. Roger jiggles the doorknob. Stokes lets him in. I heard laughing, and a crash, says Roger--the mirror! I just received an answer to my ultimatum, says Stokes and I'm not surprised--if I were a ghost, which I will be someday, I wouldn't let words drive me away from his room, not even the words of the exorcist. Roger insists there are no ghosts and begs Stokes to tell Liz the spirits are gone (why should he need to, if there ARE no ghosts?). That's too dangerous, objects Stokes--Amy and David can't be left alone tonight. Roger, following him out of the room, says no, Professor, you aren't to leave the room until you agree to keep silent about this latest trick of your imagination.[/spoiler]

In the cottage, Quentin and Alex find a sobbing, terrified Claire who tells them that Gerard attacked them and abducted Tracy.

as Claire, lies sobbing on the floor. Her face is
bruised, her hair disheveled. The room shows signs
of a struggle. Suddenly O.S., the SOUND of the
front door opens. As Claire looks up in fear,
Quentin and Alex, a little worse for wear, ENTER.
Alex quickly crosses to her as Quentin looks for
Tracy.
QUENTIN
Where's Tracy?
And that's when yesterday's quote -Page 96/Scene 202 - Claire: 'It's Gerard...he's got her. He tried to kill us...he tried to kill us...'
- comes up,

Morgan walks into the drawing room and pours himself a drink. Explain what you meant by that, demands Daphne. I think it's quite obvious what I meant, he says. I don't think it's obvious at all, says Daphne--I don't know where Catherine is. Do you know where Bramwell is? he asks. No, she says. Do you think it's possible they might be together? he queries. Is that something you know or just suspect? she asks resentfully. He sips his drink and says, it's a very real possibility--you see, the week I was possessed, your husband took advantage of me--he saw Catherine every day!--that doesn't seem to surprise you very much--or maybe you didn't know anything about it. No, I didn't KNOW anything, she says. Then why aren't you defending your husband? he asks. I don't think it's necessary! she says, if you're implying that Catherine and Bramwell have been unfaithful, I don't believe it! You don't or won't? he demands. I think the things you said are shocking, accuses Daphne--do you really believe Catherine could be unfaithful to you? Morgan thinks that over--you're right, he says, I must never think anything like that--I'm sorry--but I'm no less angry at Bramwell[/spoiler]
NoDS Scene 83might have been had Keith Prentice been cast as shop owner Gregory and DC had actually shot it. But alas... (Scene 83 lasts from initial Reply #144 through Reply #156.))
