When the moon rises, Quentin does not transform; he then returns to his room to find a portrait of himself as the werewolf. Amanda moves into Collinwood.
Synopsis
- The full moon is about to rise over Collinwood. This is the night that Quentin Collins has been dreading, but his most terrible dreams have never been as awful as this moment, for now, with the moon about to rise, Quentin Collins is trapped by the hated Gregory Trask, knowing there is no way to keep Trask from seeing him change from man to beast.
Trask torments Quentin as they wait for the moon to rise. Yet at moonrise, Quentin remains unchanged, and demands to be released. Trask, believing that he has recovered his written confession for the murder of Minerva, releases Quentin, but vows to destroy him.
At the Collinsport Inn, Tim Shaw and Amanda Harris continue to plot to use Trask's lust against him.
Quentin questions Petofi, who has just brought the portrait of Quentin to Collinwood, but Petofi will only reveal that his cosmic plan for Quentin is just beginning to unfold. Later, Quentin is aghast to see that the portrait has transformed into an image of the werewolf.
As Amanda is installed at Collinwood by Trask, her charms do not escape Quentin's notice; and afterward, Amanda's reluctance to go through with Tim's plan evaporates.
Memorable quotes
- Count Petofi (to Quentin): You must stop wasting time on these idle threats, which are merely foolish. You're too hot-blooded, Quentin. But you're also rather charming, which means there'll always be somebody who'll help you.
- Count Petofi: [Laughs.] You think I should be suspected of wanting to claim credit? Like a shopgirl taking credit for a sale? No, Quentin, my plan is cosmic. So gigantic, so complex that the full implications of it will not be clear to you for a long time yet.
- Amanda: Oh, uh, Mr. Collins.
- Quentin: You remember me.
- Amanda: Of course.
- Quentin: I appreciate the honor. I'm sure a girl like you has a lot of names to remember.

Bloopers and continuity errors
- In the teaser, after Trask says, "And in exactly one minute," someone coughs off-stage. Another off-stage cough occurs when, later, Tim Shaw says to Amanda, "I think there's several more things you'd like, my dear."
- When Quentin and Petofi enter the drawing room and as Petofi is pouring drinks, a boom mic shadow moves over David Selby.
- Over drinks in the drawing room of Collinwood, Quentin denies that Count Petofi is responsible for Quentin's failure to transform into a werewolf that evening. At one point, when Quentin is telling Petofi he's a fraud, Thayer David steps on David Selby's lines. Then they both seem to struggle to contain a giggle in the middle of Quentin's line of dialogue when Selby stumbles over the word "stamp": "If you were, you'd be claiming all the credit for it, putting the stamp of Petofi on me."
- Don Briscoe accidentally snorts when he plans what Amanda should say to Gregory.
- When Tim holds up the diamond bracelet that Amanda had thrown to the floor, there is a repetitive mechanical sound from off-stage.
- When Amanda picks up the phone in the drawing room to call Tim at the Collinsport Inn, the receiver is sitting loose on the credenza, not hung up on the main part of the telephone. Throughout the scene, the phone cord remains tangled in the phone even as Amanda uses it.
- When Amanda tells Trask her luggage is being sent over to Collinwood, there is a loud noise from off-stage.
