Gerard finds Leticia sitting in a chair, staring into the fire at Rose Cottage. Do you feel a little better? he asks. Look who wants something now, she says. I can't hide it, he admits, I do. And what might it be? she asks. I'll be honest, he says--the suspense is killing me--I must find out what the future holds for me! She looks at him and asks, "You want me to tell you?" Yes, he says forcefully, then adds, "Please." You weren't willing to help me at Collinwood, she says, I don't believe I'll help you now. I would help you, he says but you wouldn't tell me anything--I'll help you now, if you want to say anything to me. It's all right, luv, she says, I don't need your help now--you'll just have to manage your little problem by yourself. Now, you don't mean that, he says. Yes I do, she insists--you haven't treated me right, Gerard.[/spoiler]
Bruno is a brilliant pianist, says Roger, or Angelique never would have encouraged him. He gazes up at Ang's painting--her taste in music, as everything else, he adds, was exquisite, thanks to me. You won't stop deluding yourself, will you? asks Liz. It's no delusion, says Roger, Angelique and I shared something very special--our minds met and changed each other--yes, Angelique was my very own creation, that's why I understand her sending for Bruno. Sending for Bruno? questions Liz--Angelique is dead, she can't send for anyone. Chris enters--hello, Cousin, he says to Liz. Bruno is back, says Liz, if you haven't heard. I have, says Chris. You manage the estate for Quentin, says Liz, there must be some way of stopping Bruno from moving into the cottage. Moving in? asks Chris--I'd assumed he was merely passing through. No, says Liz, he plans to stay, says he belongs here. He never belonged here, especially not now, says Chris. You'll do something about it then, says Liz.Of course, Chris assures her. Quickly, says Liz warningly--Quentin will be back with his bride soon! Roger laughs evilly--you make me laugh, Liz, talking so earnestly, trying to put together a plan to protect Quentin and his little bride from big bad Bruno and all the others--and it's all useless. Whatever you felt about Angelique, says Chris, you must remember Quentin is bringing Mrs. Collins back. Roger gazes up at Angelique's portrait, and repeats what Chris said--don't you realize that Mrs. Collins never left, not for a moment. Chris and Liz look at the portrait, too. Roger asks to be excused and exits the room, smiling. He walks toward Barnabas and Roger, standing out in the hall, seeming as if he's going to literally bump into Barnabas--and the room abruptly changes back to dark emptiness. Roger and Barnabas gaze into the room.[/spoiler]
Philip waits down in the shop. Megan comes downstairs--he won't leave, she says--he won't go! Did she explain it was to his advantage? asks Philip--it would be safer. I explained exactly, and he was contemptuous, she says. Did you lock him in? asks Philip. No, she says, he doesn't like being locked anymore, besides, there's no point--no lock will hold him. She looks at Philip's face and says, "You ARE frightened of him, aren't you? Yes, admits Philip, frightened of him upstairs and of those who are hunting him--and I'm sick to death of the whole situation!--Megan, I don't know how we got into this, but do know now is the time to get out--if he won't go, we must, right now. Run and leave him? asks Megan, disconcerted. Leave him, everything, get out with our lives and consider ourselves fortunate, says Philip. Maybe I consider myself fortunate having what I have here, she says--maybe I can't leave him.[/spoiler]
