[edit] Synopsis
- My name is Victoria Winters. There are sections of Collinwood that have been closed off for more than fifty years. Dusty rooms and dark, haunted corridors. Rooms that no one ever sees. No one but a tormented boy. A boy that has taught me that a secret hiding place can be more than just a child's playroom. It can also be a prison.
Vicki is trapped and continues to call out for help; Carolyn's looking for her raincoat and she's ready to hit the town. Carolyn's going out solo, sans Joe, but doesn't care to discuss it with Liz. She tells her finally that Joe had another date; Liz reminds Carolyn of her previous wild actions (42) and says it's high time Joe didn't jump when Carolyn snapped. The world doesn't revolve around Carolyn Stoddard, according to Liz. Carolyn storms out, threatening to see Burke.
Sam calls Maggie and learns of her plans with Joe; he tells her not to walk into a hornet's nest. At The Blue Whale, Burke is drinking alone until Sam joins him and they promise not to talk about Bill Malloy. Burke's been drinking heavily. He laments not having friends; Sam tells him you can't declare war on a whole town and then expect to make friends in it.
Carolyn goes out, telling her mother she only cares about Carolyn tonight; Liz has noted that Vicki's coats are present and expects help with the search. Vicki fails to escape through the window and sits dejectedly on a cot.
Sam and Burke are drunk and friendly and they talk about Collinwood's ghosts. Burke wants to spare Vicki and laments that Malloy's not drinking with them. Sam catches him, then joins the lamentations. Sam admits to Burke that he thinks Malloy was murdered. They sing Bill's favorite song--"What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor?"--and Carolyn enters. They'll hope she'll harmonize with them; Burke hurts Carolyn's feelings by asking about Vicki. Sam remembers he has to eat, and lets slip that Maggie's got a man in the cage. Carolyn alarms Burke with her green eye.
Vicki wakes up when she hears a voice. The ghost of Bill Malloy appears and tells her get away from Collinwood before she is killed! The ghost leaves, and Vicki finds wet seaweed on the floor.
