Dirk attacks Barnabas but Barnabas chokes him down. Laura tells Dirk, "He and the original Barnabas Collins are one and the same." She talks of a "strange, dreamy boy with surprisingly sad eyes." She tells Dirk she was fond of him. Laura commands Dirk to search the Old House; Magda is at the Cottage, not there. Dirk finds the coffin in the cellar and finds it empty.
