[edit] Synopsis
- My name is Victoria Winters. I have come to Collinwood to unlock the echoes of my past, but the tensions of the present seem almost to obscure my search—tensions that fill the dark corridors, that wait in musty corners, and murmur behind the doors of unused rooms.
Vicki asks David why he attempted to murder Roger and shows him the bleeder valve. The little sociopath attacks her and she locks it in a drawer. She tricks him into leaving her room. Roger confronts the Sheriff; Vicki and David wait each other out on opposite sides of Vicki's door. Roger continues to confront the Sheriff and implies that the Sheriff is afraid of the now-rich Burke. He also implies he'll use the Collins influence to take Carter's job. Roger wants a search of Burke's room; Carter says only a psycho would keep the bleeder valve; David tries to run outside, telling Liz "he has to get away." He also accuses Vicki of trying to hurt him. David says that Vicki is going to make up stories about him and even says that Vicki will try to blame him for Roger's accident. David is ejected from the room and tells Vicki Liz won't believe her. Carter has obtained his Search Warrant but hasn't finished his sandwich. Roger attempts to join Carter on the search, and that's where Jonas finally draws the line. David attempts to eavesdrop on Vicki and Liz's conversation, where she recounts the last few minutes of the previous episode. Vicki tells her that she didn't try to hurt David, he tried to hurt her. Vicki tells Liz she was afraid of David. Liz says Burke caused the accident, and doesn't believe Vicki’s story of finding the bleeder valve.
