Scheming to gain control of the Collins wealth, Gregory Trask and Evan Hanley plot to drive matriarch Judith Collins insane by taunting her with the spirit of Minerva Trask.

When Jamison Collins is possessed with the spirit of the dying David Collins from 1969, Count Petofi promises to save the boy if Barnabas reveals how to travel to the future.
