Quentin and Magda find the urn that keeps Laura alive.

Synopsis

Collinwood before the turn of the century, a time of bizarre and frightening events. The two Collins children, Nora and Jamison, have been sent away to school against the wishes of their mother, a strange, mysterious woman only recently returned to Collinwood. Angered by the separation from her children, she has vowed that they will not spend another night in the school. Only moments after her vow was made the school mysteriously caught fire.

Trask and Rachel get everyone else out of the Hall before it burns down. Jamison and the other children, all of whom seem to come from families that do not want them, are sent to Rockport. But Nora comes home with Laura. Quentin offers Laura a brandy and she refuses. He has one. Laura has hidden the urn (with her flame) in the post at the gazebo. The post has a celestial sphere with an arrow through the sphere. She drops her snake twisting bracelet near it. Putting dirt on the flame in the urn makes Laura weak and can eventually kill her.

Memorable quotes

Background information and notes

Production

Story

  • Unlike with the previous Phoenix storyline, Laura was not in the fire herself as she was when she tried to take David in early 1967.
  • Judging by its external appearance, Worthington Hall is the same building as the one that was/will be occupied by Eric Lang in the present day. It is later stated in 737 that the fire gutted the building, which would account for its differering internal layout when occupied by Lang.
  • Quentin is fascinated by the fact that fire has played an important part in Laura's life for the past year.

Bloopers and continuity errors

  • The fire at Worthington Hall is not one of the most successful special effects. The blue screen shows the house to be a cutout, a cardboard model, with fake flames behind it.
