Vicky is missed in the present but is busy coping with the past. Abagail Collins, a witch burning enthusiast, is convinced that Vicky is a witch.
Vicky escapes through a convenient window and goes to Collinwood, which, unfortunately, is still under construction. She is met by Jeremiah Collins who looks like her dead fiancee but isn’t. Like Nathan Forbes, he is not repelled by her welcoming embrace. He convinces her to go back to the old house, assuring her he’d think of a story that would put Abagail’s suspicions to rest.
He tells them that Vicky is actually Phyllis Wick. He claims that the shock of the accident made her temporarily lose her memory. The episode concludes with Vicky getting a job as governess and Naomi being berated by her husband and sister-in-law for drawing air.

Hmmm…I’m convinced Vicky is a witch too. I’m also convinced that she IS Phyllis Wick (that disturbing similarity in their names…). Basically I’ll buy any alternate plot; they make as much sense as the real ones.
I liked every Dark Shadows plot except the Leviathan drivel toward the end of the series. That was terrible.
Poor Vicky, will no one believe in her innocence?
I agree about the Leviathan plot, Jeff. The dictionary tells us that leviathan indicates a sea monster or something really, really big. I don’t recall either of those definitions being meaningfully explored.
