Gerard returns to Collinwood to alert Gabriel and Edith about his grisly find. Poor Ben, comments Edith--what a horrible way that was to die. At least he lived to a ripe old age, says Gabriel, unconcerned--more fortunate than some people--Gerard, how much time did you spend with the police? Several hours of questioning him, says Gerard. Where is the body? asks Edith. Gerard explains that they marked it down as a suicide, and the body is with the police--the frightening thing was, Ben looked like he'd cut his own head off. Edith says she doesn't want to hear anything more about it. The family must be informed at once, decides Gabriel--Edith, go find Carrie. Edith rises from her chair and says she can't do that--she can't break it to her! Find a way and do it now, says Gabriel--I'll have to talk to Father--that should be the high point of my day. Edith hurries out.[/spoiler]
Stokes' cottage - Hannah Stokes does Bruno's horoscope, which reveals, the stars are in opposition, the heavens are in turmoil--beware! she advises. Of what? he asks. Some alien forces at work against you, she says. Could this alien force be of the spirit world? he asks. I can only conjecture, she says, but my answer is yes. Can you anticipate my next question? asks Bruno. You want to know if it's the spirit of my niece, Angelique, she guesses. Well? he asks. You know as well as I do that the charts convey nothing of such a thing, says Hannah. This woman at Collinwood, posing as Alexis is Angelique, says Bruno, and I must have proof to end this uncertainty that's driving me out of my mind--that's why I brought you here tonight.[/spoiler]
