Gerard finds a note on dead Trask. The skeleton one that is, the live one looks pretty ghastly also. The letter is from A. Trask puts things together and comes up with Angelique and Barnabas is a Vampire. Gerard overhears Julia and Barnabas talk and they suspect he is up to no good.
Back at  the Great House, Carrie learns Gerard took Ben's diary and she feels he has become harsh. Julia finds her sad in the drawing room and learns about the diary.
Trask has a gun with silver bullets and Gerard has the plans for the Old house which show a secret room behind the bookcase. Now how stupid would it be to put the secret room in the plans and how surprising that they would be in the main house.  Gerard goes with gun to Old House, pulls it on Julia and Barnabas comes in at 2 PM.  Well, sort of surprised. I had forgotten this plot point, but  on this watching I could see it heading in that direction.

At the long, long trial, Samantha reads Q's diary about Johanna. Obviously, the marriage was forced?arraigned? But Sam Hall's unfinished writing does't tell. Samantha has said she never loved him so why the venom about Johanna?
Dawson calls Daphne and she testifies to the seance. Samantha's testimony was stricken from the record as it was not about witchcraft. Samantha Accuses Daphne of being in love with Q who will soon be dead. Daphne has another Gerard dream and wakes up not remembering, but then recalls a room and find it.

Samantha comes in and says Daphne is unfit.  Then Q And Desmond talk.  Tad is looking into the fire and Samantha comes in. he is worried about Q and wants Samantha to go to court.  Then Q and Daphne talk once again about Johanna.
The trial is called to order and we learn the prosecutor resigned. We hears voices but see no people in the courtroom beyond the main actors. Charles Dawson is the new prosecutor.  Samantha is called to,the stand and testifies they have been married 16 years and he was involved in the occult all the time. She says she saw a spirit and Daphne did also.

Leticia, Flora and Desmond talk about witchcraft. Flora and Carrie are at the cemetery after the funeral and someone watches Carrie. It is a young man. We learn that her father was Amos Stokes and mother Martha Bradbury and he is Jeremy Grimes, the son of the dreaded Mordaci Grimes. He wants to walk Carrie home.
Leticia finds out there was a vampire in 1797 and they never die. Jeremy wants to see Carrie again and she agrees. Leticia reads Carries Palm and it's not good.  Flora talks vampires with Barnabas and Leticia and wants a seance which conjures up the great love Roxanne.  So now there is an instant love story in the Romeo and Juliet vein, but Carrie has been a mainly missing in action character among many and does one care? She has apparently found a cross your heart bra during her time off  of maybe the one that Jane Russell used to hawk.

Gerard is the heir until Tad is 21. There is just so much wrong with this and so many other options. If Daniel had been under a spell, it might be plausible, but there was never any indication of that. Then there is the fact that Daniel has been portrayed as loony tunes. Q gets everything back if he is free. Gabe gets nothing as he was provided for by Daniel's wife.
Gerard wants a witchcraft charge against Q. Charles helps him plan Mrs. Wards death and she collapses in Q's cell.

Gerard tells Valerie that Q gave Gerard the coin while Gabe fawns all over Daniel. Barnabas comes in and argues with Valerie over Q.  Another letter for Daphne and she runs to Gazebo where she ends up kissing Gerard. Barnabas pleads Q's case to Daniel and Daniel agrees to think on it. Gabe comes in and demands will.  Daniel tells him he wallows in self pity. Gabe stands up and says he's been able to,walk for years and he killed Randall Drew. Daniel clutches his heart and collapses.  There should be more of this and less Gerard. It would be so much better if this will would disappear and the previous one where Samantha is in charge is in effect.

Gerard and Gabe discuss Q. GerRd knows the heir in the new will and hints it's Gabe who falls for the ploy.
Valerie slaps Lazlo and is furious her plot failed and she is worried about Judah. She suspects Gerard as she should. She gets Lazlo to steal his watch fob.
Mrs Ward brings Q a letter and Daphne arrives and they share a romantic ? kiss through the bars. The not is from Johanna. They talk of the talk of witchcraft and kiss some more. Later Daphne dreams of Mrs Ward and Q who is to be executed. This is just awful, even if the Maine Supreme Court didn't overturn a conviction as ludicrous as witchcraft in 1840, there are higher courts.
Gerard makes Valerie see Q in the flames from the watch fob spell. This is even more ridiculous. Angelique, the queen of deception doesn't even ponder being fooled but a warlock more powerful than she.

Voiceover Virginia Vestoff.  Q. finds Randall in a no show face scene. Trask comes on them and takes Q at gunpoint to police.
Samantha walks in on Gabe who gleefully tells her about Mr Grimes. Trask comes in and tells Q killed Randall.
The constable will investigate. He talks to Gabe who pretends to protect Q, but spills the Johanna sordid saga and Q vowed to stop Randall. Constable Ward puts Q under arrest for Murder!!!  They really should have focused more on Samantha, making her like a cat on a hot tin roof.
