Quentin (David Selby) and Desmond (John Karlen) resign themselves to their fate as they approach the headsman's axe. Coming to the rescue is Valerie, aka Angelique (Lara Parker). Carrying the head of Judah Zachary, Angelique is able to convince the authorities that Gerard (James Storm) and not Quentin was the one possessed by the warlock Judah. Shot by Desmond, Gerard dies, but not before clearing Desmond and Quentin and apologizing for his deeds -- as Zachary's head turns into a skull. Meanwhile, in parallel time, Collinwood is visited by the former sweetheart of Catherine Harridge (also Lara Parker) -- Bramwell Collins (Jonathan Frid), who bears a remarkable resemblance to the "real" world's Barnabas Collins. This very busy episode of Dark Shadows originally aired on January 26, 1971.
