Joan Bennett VO. Apparently even while working his magic on Amanda Harris, Gregory was also getting to Fall River (not Massachessets, presumably, that's pretty far), and saving the soul of a Mrs. Curry, as Tim reports to Judith.
Duelling murder plans! Judith considers swooning over the thing they're about to do, decides against it, must go on with it... I liked that. Gregory's starts with Aristede's attempt on Judith, interrupted by Garth. Judith starts her attempt minutes later, tricking Greg into drinking a mickeyed brandy. (The weak point in the plan, though I'll guess he drinks secretly.)
Gregory wakes in Quentin's room, or the anteroom, which is even now serving as the whole bedroom, even though we saw the skeleton in the inner room. Tim takes a huge risk, being in the room, without his gun even being drawn yet. I forget how, but Trask must go to sleep again, because next time he wakes up, the last couple bricks are being put in.
I wish I could be shocked by this, but I've been thinking of it almost every time I've seen Trask in 1897. (One problem I realize I have now is that 90% of my DS viewings now have taken place in the last decade, whereas in the 1960s I only saw them once. DS now fails to bring back early childhood memories, of back when no doubt I was shocked by the bricking-up, because it's now a 21st century show for me. And it was old news in all those recent viewings.) Anyway, if it were me, I'd just push the brick back out every time Tim pushed it in. It would get embarrassing, a sort of comedy act, Tim putting it in over and over, Greg pushing it back out... The rest of the bricks and mortar have hardened though, I guess that's what matters.
