Quentin's spirit takes possession of Jamison.
Synopsis
- In the great drawing room at Collinwood, a man lies dead, cut down in mindless fury by the woman he wronged. Quentin Collins is in his coffin, mourned by his sister, Judith, and his brother Carl. But even in death, there is no peace for Quentin Collins.
Jamison is upset after finding out about Quentin's death; he later claims that Quentin is not dead. Carl finds that Quentin's spirit has taken possession of Jamison. Rachel awakes after a strange dream only to find Quentin as a zombie sitting in a rocking chair in her room.

Background information and notes
Production
- Vaseline is used on the lens filter during the dream sequence.
- A new orchestral version of "Shadows of the Night" is heard during the sequence when Quentin is in his coffin and Jamison is in Quentin's room, becoming possessed.
Story
- DREAM SEQUENCE: Rachel searches for Jamison.
- In the dream, Carl holds a giant timepiece.
- TIMELINE: Day 285 begins, and will end in 728. 1:20am: Carl finds Quentin’s coffin closed.
Bloopers and continuity errors
- The coffin lid has very visible strings attached to it.
- John Karlen flubs, "You don't like...private... you don't like strangers to discuss private matters..." He also stumbles over saying the word "considerate." A minor flub later when Carl is telling Jamison to turn the gramophone off: “You’d better shut that machine right now..."
- When the "Shadows of the Night" music starts up during the close-up of Quentin in his coffin, the recording is distorted, starting at a slow speed. The music is also distorted when the scene shifts back to Jamison. [Not necessarily a blooper. Gramophones had to be cranked often or they would wind down.]
- David Selby's eyes blink while Quentin lies in the coffin during the scene with Jamison playing "Shadows of the Night."
- In Act II, as Judith and Rachel are descending the stairs, a boom mic shadow can be seen on the wall underneath the landing.
- There is a loud bang during Rachel's dream.
