The werewolf attacks Beth, but Barnabas is able to scare it off with his silver-headed cane.
Synopsis
- The year is 1897 at the great estate of Collinwood, and this night a new horror hides in the forests surrounding the house. As the full moon signals an evil transformation, a child has disappeared and one woman knows who and what may be tracking him as he runs from anyone who tries to find him.
Jamison goes to see his mother and asks her to make up with his father. Laura tells her son that Edward would never forgive her. Jamison begs his mother to keep him away from the school, and she invites him to go away with her.
Edward and Barnabas save Beth, who faints. The werewolf watches them. Jamison goes to the cottage. They talk about Quentin leaving. Jamison seems to talk fondly of Quentin and Laura thought he now hated Quentin. The fire in the fireplace is very high. Laura tells Jamison that where she wants to take him and Nora, time is different, there is no time and people there pay no attention to time. She tells him there the sun is always shining and it is always warm. It is filled with special people. She wants to leave tonight with him.
Edward believes the wolf ran like a man. Barnabas thinks Jamison could be with his mother.
Laura has the scarab out and calls to Nora. Edward interrupts her. He tells her Jamison is missing. Laura says, "You do have difficulty with Jamison and Nora, don’t you? One of them always seems to be slipping away from you."
Beth hears howlings. Barnabas comes in to Collinwood and asks Beth, "Where's Quentin?" Edward calls the police. Barnabas will go to the Cottage. He has no idea that Quentin is the werewolf. He thinks Quentin might be there. He wants to settle Laura tonight. Jamison feels ill. Barnabas goes to the Cottage and finds the scarab. Laura catches Barnabas there and takes the scarab back. Jamison is delirious. Barnabas takes him out. Laura threatens him that he will pay for this.

- Laura: Where I will take you, there is no time.
- Barnabas: A werewolf at Collinwood. It must be connected somehow to Chris Jennings.
- Laura: You do have difficulty with Jamison and Nora, don't you? One of them always seems to be slipping away from you.

Bloopers and continuity errors
- In the reprise of the previous episode's final scene with the Werewolf perched on a rock above Beth, Louis Edmonds stands on the right side of the screen with his back to the camera. He steps out of the shot just as it switches to another camera angle.
- Louis Edmonds flubs when he tells Laura not to lie to him, "If you're Laura... lying... Laura."
- Jonathan Frid flubs his line when he grabs Jamison to take him out of the cottage. He says something to Laura/Diana Millay like "Remember, you have got no mind," or "Remember, you dot no mine." [Addendum: I believe he makes reference to Laura's powers, then says, "You have not known mine."]
- There is a long pause during the conversation between Diana Millay and Jonathan Frid. [Addendum: It seems what happened is that David Henesy missed his cue to come out of the bedroom. The dialogue picks back up when he appears.]
- The credit for Robert Costello vanishes, re-appears and then the roll starts.
