This ep. marks David Selby’s first opening voiceover, even though he doesn’t speak on camera: Collinwood in the year 1897, where Barnabas Collins has returned to save a life in the present. Barnabas's mission is in jeopardy, for Quentin has died before his time and returned as a zombie. And his spirit has inhabited a child. Now Barnabas must try desperately to lure the spirit from the child into the unthinking body.
Angelique prevents Quentin from returning to his grave.
Great work by David Henesy channeling Quentin.
The fog from the cemetery leaks into the drawing room at Collinwood, where Judith awaits the outcome of Barn's second attempt to dezombify Quentin and restore Jamison.
Welcome (I suppose) Gregory Trask and his mutton-chop whiskers. He gives Judith quite a spiel about his precious Worthington Hall. Jamison is still channeling Quentin. Judith is mortified (LOL) when zombie Quentin returns with Barnabas. Barnabas almost gives himself away when he instantly pronounces Trask's name, even though they've never met, but Judith is much too distracted to really notice.
Trask starts his ceremony but won't allow Judith or Barn to watch. I assume this was a Friday episode--what a cliffhanger it must have been!
