Barnabas vanishes in front of Trask, promising to deal with him as he did Trask's ancestor. Barnabas appears behind the book case where his coffin is now hidden. It is 2:35 and the body was discovered one hour ago. Edward talks to the sheriff on the phone. Trask returns and tells Edward, "Barnabas Collins is a vampire." Edward acknowledges that this must be the case, because it explains so much. Edward does not want the police involved, because "no one must know the secret." Barnabas rises. Magda tells him what happened and that she will help him.
