Note: The
episodes’ official numbering includes skipped numbers for pre-emptions, in
accordance with their numbering system (so that one could look at the number of
an episode and know what day of the week it aired on). I have elected to number
the episodes by what episode it actually is, but I will note the official numbering also.
This is the 138th episode, but the official number is 141.
My name is Victoria Winters. The stranger who has come to Collinwood has created fear and indecision for every member of the Collins family, but the gravest indecision rests in the mind of a small boy.

Vicki greets David and asks
him whether he slept well.
He has. No bad dreams.
Vicki’s glad he’s not afraid of his mother anymore (he guesses not); she really loves him.
David guesses she does, but he has ways of finding out. He declines to say what they are.

David guesses she does, but he has ways of finding out. He declines to say what they are.
He’s drawing a picture of the
phoenix.
Finding out David has already
had breakfast, Vicki says she’ll get a cup of coffee and they can get an early
start on his schoolwork.
She asks Vicki to let David off of his schoolwork, just for today.
She knows she shouldn’t be asking this, but she’d like to spend the day with him, just the two of them.
Laura tells David she’s glad
he agreed. He says he’s glad he doesn’t have schoolwork. She asks whether that’s
the reason he agreed, and he says not the only reason.
He asks her whether she
believes in ghosts. He does. He’s not afraid of them. She’s glad, because he
should never be afraid of anything, and she wants him to remember it always.
Vicki goes to visit Maggie,
who was being tempted to look at the portrait again.
Maggie says she’s been cleaning up after her father, and she’s happy he’s gone for a morning walk—because the Blue Whale doesn’t open till noon.

Vicki says she might not have
her job for much longer because Laura Collins will probably take David away.
Maggie is interested to hear that’s why Laura is back. She thinks Roger will
all right with getting rid of David. She wonders whether Roger seems nervous or
under pressure since Laura’s been back. Vicki says she didn’t know Maggie was
so interested in Roger.
Maggie says she isn’t; she’s
just worried about her father, and he seems worried about Laura. Does Vicki
think Laura really came back only for David?
Maggie says Laura seems nice,
but she can’t help feeling she’s somehow behind the weird things happening
lately.
David takes Laura to the old
house. He tells her his friends the ghosts are there. She thinks it must be his
lunchtime. She’s not scared, is she? he asks.
He calls to Josette to
introduce them.
Laura doesn’t like any of
this.
David wonders why she’s so
anxious to get back.
Then David gets an idea. The
ghosts don’t appear to two people at one time. If he leaves Laura alone, maybe
Josette will appear. Over Laura’s objections, he leaves her to try the
experiment. The portrait of Josette begins to glow.
When David comes back, the
glowing stops. Laura tells him that Josette didn’t appear.
Vicki asks Maggie what
mysterious things are happening, and how they involve Laura Collins.
Maggie tells Vicki about Sam’s
reaction to Laura and how it started to affect his work.
She tells about the strange
painting he’s working on. Maggie finally shows Vicki the picture.
Sam comes home and finds the
cover off of the painting. He is not happy with Maggie.
Vicki tells him it’s her
fault.
Sam tells her not to tell
anyone about it. He admits he’s compelled to paint it.
It started a few days ago,
after he saw Laura Collins.
David shows Laura his phoenix
drawing, and she’s very pleased with it.
He asks whether she knows any
other stories.
She says she’ll tell him lots
of stories when he comes to visit her, back in the place where she came from.
He asks if it’s far away. A long way, she says. Farther than a hundred miles.
Is it hard to get there? he asks. She says, no, it’s easy. “All you have to do
is want to go.”
Sam stares at his painting.
