[edit] Synopsis
As Victoria Winters awaits her execution in 1790, she discovers both her reason for being sent into the past and the vampire curse that has been placed on Barnabas Collins. Angelique claims several more victims, including the young Sarah Collins. Barnabas asks his father to destroy him, but Joshua Collins is unable to drive a stake through his son's heart and instead chains him inside his coffin. As Victoria is hanged, she is returned to 1991, where she recoils in horror upon seeing Barnabas.
[edit] Expanded Version
The 1993 MPI Home Video release of this episode included scenes not shown in the original televised broadcast re-edited into the episode:
- Julia Hoffman has a brief discussion with Maggie Evans following her exorcism of Angelique.
- Joshua Collins, Peter Bradford, and Ben Loomis are seen returning to Collinwood on the morning after Abigails's death. They discover that the house is deserted.
- Intercut with Victoria Winters' hanging and Angelique's attempted murder of Phyllis Wicke, Barnabas Collins receives a visit from Sarah, and she informs him that Victoria is about to be killed. This scene explains Barnabas' sudden appearance at Collinwood in the final sequence.
[edit] Memorable Quotes
- Victoria: Oh my god... Vampires are supposed to be immortal, aren't they?
- Peter: Yes, that is what the legend says. Why?
- Victoria: There's a man in my time... He's very much like Barnabas. He said he was his descendant, he said he was named for him.
- Peter: A Barnabas Collins?
- Victoria: Yes. I thought he was falling in love with me. What if I am Josette's reincarnation two hundred years from now? Josette and I talked about it. We both felt the same thing.
- Peter: Victoria, if you are right about this...
- Victora: It explains why Angelique wants to destroy me.
- Peter: And Barnabas... is a vampire...

[edit] Notes
- This is the final episode of the series. Although the story ends on a cliffhanger, no further episodes were produced. A postscript based on second season story projections was included in the "Dark Shadows: Resurrected" companion book:
"After her return from 1790, Victoria was unable to clearly recall her experiences from the eighteenth century. She did, however, retain fragmented memories which alternately fascinated, puzzled, and haunted her. She resumed her romantic relationship with Barnabas, who remained fearful that Victoria's knowledge of the horrors from 1790 would someday resurface and jeopardize their future together."
