| - One evening, Quentin experienced a traumatic nightmare in which he envisioned himself as his own ancestor, Charles Collins. Quentin flew into a frenzy and unwittingly attacked Gerard. The two wrestled about in the hallway until Carlotta and Quentin's wife, Tracy, broke them up. Later, Carlotta ordered Gerard to kill Quentin’s friends, Alex and Claire Jenkins. He tried to kill Alex by driving his car off of the road, and then he went to the Jenkins cottage in an effort to kill Claire. He attempted to break his way inside, but Claire shot at him with a gun. Although he was hit in the face, it was only a glancing shot, and he was able to get away. Soon after, Gerard kidnapped Tracy and took her in his pickup truck to an old, wooden bridge. Gerard felt that Angelique abandoned him in favor of pursuing Quentin, so he decided to take his anger out on Quentin's wife. Quentin Collins managed to track them down and the two men fought each other once again. Tracy came up behind Gerard and bludgeoned him across the back of the head with a sturdy, lead pipe. Gerard fell off of the bridge onto the railroad tracks below where he died.
