Upset with Reverend Trask's harsh methods, Barnabas Collins and Lt. Nathanial Forbes search the woods for Miss Winters. In confidence, Reverend Trask tells Countess duPres that he tied Miss Winters to a tree and left her there overnight, explaining that if the tree is dead in the morning, this will prove that Miss Winters is a witch. Overhearing this piece of information, Angelique sets out to make sure that the tree dies. Although she doesn't have any animosity towards Miss Winters, Angelique will do anything to keep the suspicion away from herself.
