Stokes lets Jeff in, who tells him, someone picked up your phone but didn't say anything. Stokes suspects his home is haunted, but he's never in his reading encountered a ghost who used the telephone (this is prophetic, given what will soon happen). Jeff says someone was there, he heard breathing. Wrong numbers, says Stokes--I was out finding the herbs I told you about. He opens a packet and shows Jeff, telling him he advises against this. You promised to help me, Jeff reminds him. Stokes admits he is having second thoughts--the herbs can be dangerous, and mysterious things could happen. I need that, insists Jeff. Trapped between curiosity and knowledge, says Stokes, and suggests he discuss this with Vicki. The herbs can help me remember if I'm using Jeff Clark's body, but am really Peter Bradford--I need to know more, like how I came to this century-- then I could go back to my own (please, GO!). Stokes advises him to marry Vicki and consider it an unusual marriage--but most are, in one way or another. When Stokes' back is turned, Jeff munches some of the herbs. Stokes catches him and demands to know what he's doing--you must do it by the ritual, the only way it can be controlled, protests Stokes--you might have spoiled it! He orders Jeff to sit down, turns off the light, and lights a candle on the table.[/spoiler]
Moving on to yesterday's scene - and as the graphic I put up for the slideshow indicated, it plays very differently in the film from the way it's scripted. First up, the scripted version:
And now the way Scene 201 actually plays in the film:
Carolyn, in her mother's room, kneels beside her mother, who is lying on the floor. Julia joins Carolyn. I found her here, cries the blonde. Julia takes Liz' pulse, checks one of her eyes, then stands. Liz speaks to herself, asking, "Why can't I speak? Why can't I move? Why can't I somehow let them know?" Julia soberly informs Carolyn, "You mother is dead. The young woman immediately begins to sob against Julia's shoulder. Julia presses a comforting hand to Carolyn's head as Liz continues to talk inside her own mind: "I'm not! I'm not! I must move! I must make them hear! I'm not dead!"[/spoiler]
Before we leave the previous sequence, ...

Before we get to the scene that's come up in today's slideshow, we have one other scene to deal with first:
