The VO is delivered by Kate Jackson so something to look forward to in this episode. Gabe stabs Kendrick while Morgan searches for a key to unlock the drawing room door. He does and follows Gabe  through passages. Gabe finds Brutus Collins portrait to slash and burn. Morgan finds him and is putting out fire while Gabe escapes. Now Gabe is obviously insane so shouldn't the room be satisfied as that is one of the outcomes?
      Daphne tends to Kendrick says it is only a flesh wound. Catherine is jealous and says Bramwell is bitter. Gabe comes in on Daphne and then Bramwell chases him. Bramwell and Daphne are at the Old House and he asks if she loves him? Meanwhile Morgan is obsessing over Bramwell again. Daphne goes to tell Catherine she will marry and Catherine runs out to see Bramwell. He says she will not stop the marriage.  A action packed episode.

Flora goes into the room and it's Tim Braithwaite dead. He was Gabe's drinking buddy. They Question how did it happen?  I wonder also as this was a nice twist.
Melanie is in the drawing room thinking. Morgan is reading off the TelePrompTer. Melanie supposes that the spirts just want a human. Carrie Stokes arrives with a letter from Gabe. He says he was in room 1/2 hour until Tim came. Morgan wants Carrie to use her psychic power to find Gabe. Carrie says Gabe will find them. Flora decides to visit Justin's grave. A nice little trek through the cemetery is always fun and Joan does it well.. She finds Justin's gravestone broken and his spirit appears to Melanie. No rest and the lottery must be repeated.

Gabe has escaped from the tower using bedsheets. Naturally we do not see this happen nor the actor. Daphne sees Gabe riding by from inside the Old House where she tends to Bramwell. Daphne tells him when he was gone she grew up. Hint, hint, Bramwell.  Daphne reads His palm and see happiness.
Morgan tracks Gabe to the bar and the drunken man is ready to enter the room.  Catherine warns Daphne to stay away from Bramwell. Julia and Morgan take Gabe to the room and lock him in.

Flora holds a family meeting. Lottery will be that night. There are six whole actors in the scenes. Gabriel resists and Flora insists. All will draw slips and they do.
There is some good acting and Joan Bennett does quite well. The story not so much.

That answers my question. I was wondering if we would have to endure more Gerard.
Stella is dug up by Gerard and Kendrick. Flash to Melanie saying she did it to Flora. The digging duo is at the door and want answers as body is on Property. Melanie backs up the story and later falls apart running into Q screaming. Gerard finds Melanie at the makeshift grave and looks menacing.  Police arrive offscreen and question family. Gerard says he will help Kendrick. Thankfully this is his last day.  Q wants to hold a seance to talk to Brutus. Melanie possessed says lottery now and the plague.

Bramwell and Morgan fight and Morgan is knocked unconscious Julia throws Bramwell out and Catherine rejects him.
Melanie goes told Old House and talks to Josette. Josette takes TelePrompTer awards today. Melanie tells her of her attacks wants to find real family.
Morgan goes to Bramwell. Catherine comes in and stops their confrontation. Bramwell wonders if it is an obsession and should just kill Morgan.  Morgan wants a duel. Lots of talk of trying to stop it. Catherine threatens to kill herself if Morgan dies. Duel starts.

Melanie finds Stella tied up in the tower. Justin tried to kill her and she didn't die so Julia and Flora tied her up. Great Plan?  Q and Morgan talk endlessly about the Lottery. Q does mention he was in prison for 7 years and just got out. Now that is interesting, but will it go anywhere? Morgan wants Melanie put away as she has a spell Q locks her in.  Melanie's room is Quentin's haunting room. Gabe is drunk and can't attend the funeral.
Flora and Julia talk Stella and Julia will give her 5000 to keep quiet and leave. They find Stella has a fatal knife in her bosom and Melanie is outside the door to the lottery room ranting. I feel Shirley Jackson spinning.

We are now entering the strange and disturbing world of parallel time.  The narration goes on and on and I was taught you should show not tell. We finally get some action and Bramwell says she will know only misery as Morgan's.  Melanie and Q are in the East Wing PT room. I'm not sure it has a name in this time. Morgan comes in awaiting Catherine's arrival. Switch to footsteps outside Collinwood. It's Kendrick Young and he sneaks into the house in search of Info on his missing sister Stella. Melanie encounters him, they chat. He sneaks out with her help.  Morgan returns revealing Catherine never made it home and her carriage is outside
     Catherine is smiling on the bed fully clothed, Bramwell is buttoning his collar. They obviously had 1970's daytime TV sex. She tells it it does not matter and she loves and will marry Morgan who can give her the life she wants. Q comes to the Old House and takes Catherine back to Colinwood. She sleeps there and a woman stands over her with a knife. it is Melanie.
