Quentin tries to bully Magda, but she isn't having any. She predicts he will soon meet a woman--with a knife!
Jenny has been moved to some underground room at Collinwood. She complains to Judith about the lack of sunlight in the Tower Room, but this room doesn't even seem to have a window. It's pitiful to see how tenderly she looks after her "babies." But she goes into a rage when she hears Quentin's Victrola music.
Judith offers to pay Dirk more if he'll do some extra work, and he agrees immediately. Dirk and Judith arrive at the door to Jenny’s room as Judith finishes her explanation. Now you can see why you can’t tell anyone, she says. Beth knows? Dirk asks in some surprise. Not answering his question, Judith tells him, We need someone to handle Miss Jenny with force if necessary. Mr. Quentin must not know she is here. As they stand in front of the door, Dirk is still thinking of Beth knowing all about it, long before now. He repeats, Beth knows everything. Why are you concerned about that? Judith asks. Dirk replies lamely, I just thought I knew everything about Beth, that’s all. [Nice bit by Roger Davis here--restrained, for once.]
Judith tells Quentin that the name of his future murderer begins with "J." He immediately thinks of Judith, of course.
Meanwhile, Jenny manages to bash Dirk on the head and escape. She opens the door to the inner of Quentin’s rooms and walks about. She starts with fright when she sees the gramophone, backing away from it. She moves to the roll-top desk. There she finds a large, shiny knife with a bone handle. She holds it up, smiling broadly, and calls, Quentin! Quentin! She plunges the knife toward us as she starts her hunt....
