Uncle Roger,
I've always wondered why Prof. Stokes brought his niece, Hallie, to Collinwood in the first place after both her parents were apparently killed in a recent automobile accident.
I mean, Collinwood is the LAST place I would want to bring someone, who had just experienced such a tragic event!
After having just defeated Jeb Hawks and the Leviathans (not to mention discovering the Parallel Time room and learning of Barnabas and Julia's frightening journey to 1995), the professor should have taken Hallie to Boston, New York City or even the Mojave Desert rather than spooky, old Collinwood!
