Quentin awakens from a nap and finds another letter from Joanna sitting on the table. He wonders where the notes are coming from. Trask arrives and Quentin asks if he remembers Joanna Mills. Lamar doesn't remember her, and instead questions him about Barnabas Collins and the disappearance of his father 45 years ago. Lamar has become suspicious of Barnabas's story, because there is no record of the death of the "original" Barnabas that Julia gave him. Quentin dismisses all of his claims and leaves, while Lamar gazes at the portrait of Barnabas in the foyer. Valerie happens upon Lamar in the foyer and is taken aback by his resemblance to Reverend Trask. She introduces herself, and Lamar is shocked to discover that Barnabas is married. He quickly excuses himself and leaves for the village.
