Synopsis Edit

Teaser

There is a storm raging over the Great House at Collinwood, a storm that cannot shut out the sounds of the widow’s wailing, for theirs is a legend that when death is near, the widows rise from the dead and commence their wait for the one who is to die.

Vicky stands at the cliffs of Widow's Hill and contemplates suicide. Professor Stokes and Elizabeth manage to persuade her that there is still hope and lead her back to the house. Carolyn and Chris return from a date and discuss the recent murder at the Blue Whale. Chris is more upset by the death than Carolyn expected.

When Liz and Professor Stokes lead Vicky back into the house, they decide to hold a seance to try and contact Jeff, for Vickyi's benefit. Carolyn is contacted by the spirt of a woman named Magda, who spoke of a curse before Chris abruptly stops the seance.

Memorable quotes Edit

Carolyn: The house seems so gloomy tonight

Elizabeth : I'll explain later.

Bloopers and continuity errors Edit

The exciting scene on Widow's Hill is nearly ruined by a loud "Oh!" from someone but we don't see who, probably Liz.
During the Widow's Hill scene, a boom microphone is over Elizabeth's and Stokes's heads. It moves away.
When Chris holds Carolyn's head to his own head, his face on the top of her head, his nose is running.
The credits sway from side to side.
