Nathan shows his true colors by locking poor Millicent in her room, not letting Daniel see her, and nastily threatening the poor little guy.
Peter and Vicki find refuge at the Old House, where Ben helps them. Although almost no one who knows him would think Ben a gentleman, he shows his true colors by apologizing diffidently to Vicki before cutting away the sleeve of her gown so he can dress her wound. He says the ball went clean through, but there's no exit wound. His soldiering experience comes in handy yet again when he cleans the wound and wraps it with a strip of cloth, tying the ends together in a rough field dressing. Ben says he was wounded in the war. Couldn't they have given the poor guy a Purple Heart? Maybe they did, and he had to sell it to get money for food. Sad.
Poor Daniel comes looking for Ben, who hides Peter and Vicki in the secret room under the stairs where a long time from now, Matthew Morgan imprisons Vicki. Daniel spots the entirely unconvincing blobs of red wax/bloodstains. The circmstances could hardly be worse, but he and Vicki have a happy reunion.
Ben tells Peter and Vicki that the most secure place is about twenty minutes’ walk away. He means the mausoleum, of course. Strangely, Eagle Hill Cemetery has crept closer and closer to Collinwood since the show began, when it was said to be five miles outside of town. (Of course, they could have run there in twenty minutes if they could all do five-minute miles.)
Daniel returns to Collinwood and to a suspicious Nathan, who asks if he's seen Vicki. Daniel shows his true colors by denying knowing anything, then runs away.
Vicki has an awful dream, screams herself awake, then realizes that the dream is coming true!
