Death wreaks havoc at the great estate of Collinwood, as the renowned Devil's Son, Judah Zachary, inhabiting the body of Trevor Halliburton draws ever closer to the fulfillment of his oath to destroy the descendants of his hated enemy, Amadeus Collins. A beloved doctor has given her life rather than betray her friends to the wicked warlock. On this night, Judah Zachary will seek to realize his moment of triumph, and with the body of Trevor Halliburton, claim the spoils of those whom he destroys...
A door bursts open in yet another room and Trevor storms into the room. Liz Stoddard and Roger Collins were jarred out of their slumbers in the commotion. Trevor rushed over to Liz and demanded, "Where is she?" Liz looked up confused and weakly replied, "I don't know what you're talking about." Trevor was fuming as he shouted, "Your daughter! Where IS she? She has escaped from where I had he contained! Where would she go?" Liz, while obviously concerned about her daughter, was also quite pleased to see Judah not quite as sure of himself as he had previously been. "I don't know where is! Why don't you use your crystal ball if want to find her so badly!" Judah seethed inside Trevor and caused him to snarl as he leaned back and delivered a hard slap across Liz's face. "Leave her alone, warlock!" Roger called out in anger. Judah turned to Roger in anger and looked as if he would strangle the life from him. Then the anger subsided and gave way to amusement. "So the mouse does have a backbone after all! I will deal with you shortly!" He then turned back to Liz and said, "Out of the mouth of babes! What a fool I've been! Yes Mrs. Stoddard! I WILL use my crystal ball, as you call it! And when I do, your dear Carolyn...will DIE!" Roger and Liz exchange looks of horror.
Trevor walks over to the mirror on the table that he had used to restore
Adam's youth. He removed the Devil's Mark amulet from his pocket and held it
before the mirror and said, "Mirror! Cast away your reflection from this
room! Show me the place where Carolyn and Adam are! A haze forms over the
mirror and then clears to show Carolyn running through the woods. Adam
catches up with her and takes her shoulders into his hands. "Carolyn! Come
back to the house! If you don't, he will kill you!" Carolyn turned and
glared at him and said, "No! I won't go back! I'm going to get the police!
Trevor has to be stopped!" Adam looked at her with great concern and said,
"That man is not Trevor Halliburton! Judah has him under his control and he'll
kill you if he finds out you're gone!" Carolyn then said, "How long do you
think he will let me live? No, I'm going to stop him Adam!" Adam looked
completely frightened and said, "I don't want to lose you Carolyn... I... I'm..."
Carolyn looked at him wondering what he was trying to say and asked,
"You're what, Adam?" Adam drew close to her and said, "Carolyn, I'm... in love
with you." Carolyn's eyes widened as she became speechless. After a moment,
she rushed into his arms as three dramatic notes sound.
Adam holds Carolyn close and repeats that he loves her. Carolyn slowly looks up into his face as his own face draws nearer to hers. Her face softens as she yields to his kiss. "ADAM! You have betrayed me!" a voice thundered out from nowhere. Adam and Carolyn separate and look around in shock at the sound of it. A face appears in the sky against the trees, the face of Judah Zachary! "Adam looked up at the face in horror, finally seeing the true visage of the man called Judah Zachary. "I... Was going to bring her back!" he cried out trembling. The face of Judah Zachary snarled as he said, "So Carolyn, you are in love with the dead man..." Carolyn looked up at the face and cried out, "No, you mustn't kill him! He had nothing to do with my escape!" Judah laughed aloud and then said, "I called him dead man, NOT because I mean to kill him, but because that's what he is! Remember his stitches, Carolyn? A man sewn together from the parts of a dozen dead men, and then brought to life!" Carolyn looked at Adam with a horrified expression and cried, "NO, It CAN'T be true!" The head of Judah laughed and said, "You know in your heart it's true! You kissed a dead man!" Adam approached her to try to explain. Carolyn backed away slowly in horror. Adam's eyes grew wide as he cried out, No Carolyn!" She was backed up to the very edge of Widow's Hill. "No, stay away from me!" she cried out as he pleaded for her to come away from the edge. At that moment, a growling sound is heard. From out of the bushes came the werewolf, with eyes wide. He approached Adam slowly at first, and then made a mad lunge for him. The werewolf knocked Adam to the ground. Adam seized the wrists of the mighty beast with his own iron grip.
Barnabas places a bouquet of flowers on a fresh, unmarked grave. He rises and then reverently says, "Goodbye dear friend." Suddenly a scream is heard in the distance. Barnabas, Willie, and selena all look in the direction of the scream. Willie then turned back to Barnabas and said, "That sounded like Carolyn!" The three of them rush off into the woods in the direction of the scream. The sound of soft feminine crying is heard. Standing now over the grave was the form of a woman. She was dressed in a white robe, and a white hood covered her face.
Adam and the werewolf are locked in a life and death struggle on the ground. The struggle is going on so close to Carolyn that she cannot move. She stands on the very brink of Widow's Hill. Adam manages to throw the werewolf off of him just as Barnabas emerged from the trees. Upon seeing Barnabas, Carolyn let out another scream. The scream caught to attention of the werewolf and he turned to see Carolyn there. Letting out a guttural growl he charged at Carolyn. "NOOOOO!" Barnabas cried out in horror. He lashed out at the werewolf with the silver head of his cane. Carolyn's eyes grew wide as she lost her footing. She teetered there for a moment and then fell headlong over the cliff screaming as she fell. All grew silent. The werewolf had fled from the beating. Adam stared at the edge of the cliff in sheer horror. Through the mirror, Liz and Roger had witnessed the entire series of events. Liz was screaming at the loss of her beloved daughter. Roger also fought to choke back tears as he quietly said, "Kitten." Trevor roared with laughter and then turned back to the mirror, Willie and Selena had now joined Adam and Barnabas. Adam was on his knees wailing out Carolyn's name as tears streamed down his face. Barnabas placed a hand on Adam's shoulder and said, "Come Adam, there's nothing we can do now." Adam looked up at the aged face and said, "No, I will stay her with Carolyn!" Barnabas then said, "You can do no good staying here Adam." Adam stood up, towering over Barnabas and then said, "No! I won't leave her. We will always be together!" Something about that statement bothered Barnabas deeply. Adam walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked down brokenhearted at the crashing waves below. Then without warning he shouted out Carolyn's name as he hurled himself over the cliff after her. It happened so fast that Barnabas hadn't the time to intervene. Wild and ferocious waves beat the shore below as sad music plays out.

A door is seen at the top of a stairway in the East wing of Collinwood. The woman in white appears at the top of the stairs facing the door. She pauses a moment and then walks right through the closed door.
Eliot Stokes sits in the bunkhouse on the Collins estate in 1677. A troubled look is on his face. He stands up and paces about he room and says aloud with no one else there to hear him, "At the appointed day and the appointed hour; there shall come a shift in the balance of power. The signs are misleading, indeed it so, but will ultimately bring the defeat of thy foe!" He paced across the floor shaking his head in bewilderment. "I'm no closer to understanding it than when I first heard it." He again spoke as he rubbed his lip with his forefinger. He turned to walk back to the table when the woman in white materialized before him. Stokes was stunned for only a moment and then said, "So you have chosen to appear once again!" The woman pointed to the calendar. She placed the finger right on the 16th of July. Stokes seemed annoyed at her action and said, "Yes! I'm quite aware what day it is! But I'm afraid the mystery of your riddle has me at quite a loss of just what I am to do!" The woman then turned and approached him. She reached inside the robe and produced a book. "Judah's journal!" Stokes said with surprise. The woman opened the book to a certain page and then presented the book to Stokes. He put on his monocle and examined the page. "The James Murdoch incident!" he said with a look of puzzling. The woman then took the book back and turned to another section and gave it back to him. "Stokes eyed the section of writings she had turned to. "Judah's rescue by the coven of witches; It happened on this day." The woman nodded agreement. Stokes looked at her and said, "If I am to do what I must, I need to know..." He stopped in mid sentence as his eyes lit up. "Yes! I think I know what you want! I must find Desmond and Brutus, the time is drawing close!" He reached for his pocket watch and then looked puzzled finding it wasn't there. He looked at the woman, but she simply vanished from his sight. Realizing he could wait no longer, he quickly turned and left the room.
Elizabeth Stoddard wept over Carolyn's death. Trevor Halliburton removed the amulet from the mirror and it reverted back to reflecting the room they occupied again. Placing the amulet in his pocket, he then turned to Liz and said, "Your grieving will be over in just a moment! You and the mouse will soon be joining her and I... I will be Lord of the Manor! As the only remaining heir, the lawyer will inherit the Collins Estate, and I shall finally have my revenge! A heart attack! After you have found your brother dead! That's what the authorities will say when they find your bodies. Your poor grieving son in law will inform the sheriff! There will be a brief investigation, and they'll close the books on a tragic, but natural death!" Trevor then yielded a hideous grin and turned to Roger. Now, it's time to bid this world goodbye, Roger Collins!" He extended a hand in Roger's direction. Roger's eyes grew wide. He seemed to have troubled breathing. "NOOO!" a voice called out.
Trevor whirled around to find a renewed Barnabas Collins facing him. Before Trevor could react, the silver wolf's head cane struck him in the face causing a bloody gash to open. He fell to the floor as the cane rose high once again. Barnabas brought the cane down again hard, but Trevor rolled out of its way and sprang to his feet once again. He struck another evil grin and walked backward, away from the advancing Barnabas. "Ah yes, I should have known that the death of Adam would restore your youthful appearance! But it will take time for your vital organs to catch up! Time you DON'T have! For tonight... will be your last!" Trevor backed up against the table and then looked frightened having nowhere to go. Barnabas leaned back hard and made a swipe of the cane at Trevor who rolled out of the way. The cane struck the mirror and shattered it. Barnabas face went slack and his eyes grew wide as he dropped to his knees. "What's happening to me?" he cried out. Trevor laughed and said, "It's called suicide, my dear man! That mirror held the secret of your restoration! All I had to do was get you to destroy it to destroy yourself!" Barnabas clutched at his chest and froze for a moment, and then suddenly collapsed. The lifeless form on the floor began to deteriorate until all that remained was a skeleton. Trevor became hysterical with laughter as three dramatic notes sound.

Trevor stands sneering at Roger Collins. "Now, Mouse! You shall watch your sister die right before your very eyes. Granted; with your injuries, you won't be able to do anything to stop it. But if there's any man in there, you have to try." Roger looked on helplessly as Trevor seized Liz by the throat. The lights in the room flicker, the windows burst open and wind rushed in. Trevor spun around in shock at all the turmoil and saw standing in the middle of the room, a woman. She wears a white robe, a hood covers her head. "YOU! Who are you?" he shouted out. Trevor looked at the woman and said, "If you have come to save her life, you are too late!" The woman coolly stepped forward. Judah stands with a defiant look on his face and says, "I would see the face of the one who dares to withstand Judah Zachary!" (Dramatic music begins with a low rumbling cadence.) The woman lifts her hands up to her face. She takes the hood in her grasp and lowers it. Her back is turned toward the camera. (Dramatic music rises to a fever pitch as camera fades out.)
