[edit] Synopsis

My name is Victoria Winters. I have left the terrifying shadows of Collinwood to continue a search that has occupied most of my life; a search to discover the secret of my identity. I have just met a friendly and understanding stranger who might help me end that search. Back in Collinsport, Carolyn Stoddard is searching too; for love and understanding and peace of mind.

Joe thinks Carolyn is pretending to have a good time only; she claims the recent events at Collinwood are causing her nerves. She tells him about Vicki seeing Bill's ghost, which Joe disbelieves. Joe admits he's unsure of Carolyn now. Maggie and Sam enter and receive from Carolyn a dinner invitation.

Vicki tells Frank that a nurse at the Foundling Home was her fantasy mother until she got another job.

While dancing, Carolyn tells Joe she invited Maggie and Sam to their table because she wanted to demonstrate a lack of hard feelings. Sam asks Maggie how she feels about Joe and Carolyn.

Frank tells Vicki he'll help her even though Hanscombe is a popular name in these parts. He wants to see her again. Richard is ominous about Frank's enthusiasm for Vicki's 'lost cause'.

Maggie learns that Vicki's been in Bangor for a few days, and they all conclude that Malloy's ghost is proof that the Governess needed a vacation. Sam is worried about the story. Maggie worries that Vicki will be lonesome, and Carolyn spews that Burke is with her. Joe rightly stands up for himself and says he's not going to be Carolyn's sap. Maggie smiles.

Frank asks Richard about his attitude toward Vicki, and gets reminded that Vicki isn't their client: Elizabeth Collins Stoddard is.

Sam orders additional drinks; Joe returns after having dropped off Carolyn and Sam asks Joe to see Maggie home. He has to do something. Maggie and Joe again talk boats and share laughs.

[edit] Memorable quotes

  • Joe (to Carolyn): "You can't expect me to come crawling back every time Devlin isn't around. Now you'd better start understanding that right now!

[edit] Continuity and mistakes

  • It's slightly odd how Maggie (particularly Maggie who warned Vicki away from the spooky mansion in the very first episode) and Joe dismiss the notion of Vicki having seen a ghost in Collinwood when the entire town believes the estate is haunted.
  • A camera lens swings into view when Carolyn's party start to discuss Vicki and Burke having gone to Bangor.
