Angelique enters the empty parlor and examines a toy soldier she had concealed in the pocket of her dress. When Jeremiah Collins comes downstairs, she inquires about the toy soldier and learns that it once belonged to Barnabas Collins. Jeremiah offers to return it to the playroom, but Angelique asks to keep it a little while longer. After he leaves, Angelique secretly conspires to use the toy soldier to make Barnabas suffer.
