Jeremiah appears in a dream with a warning for Victoria about Barnabas. Julia struggles to protect Victoria as Barnabas' paranoia grows. Visiting Victoria, he attacks her to protect his secret.

Victoria buys a portrait of Angélique, much to Barnabas' horror. He sneaks into Collinwood at night and burns the canvas, which magically restores itself to the taunts of Angélique's laughter.

Professor Stokes, a descendent of Ben, arrives at Collinwood to research his ancestor. He is intrigued by Angélique's painting and offers to buy it from Victoria, but is outbid by Roger.

Vicki is haunted by visions of the past. As Barnabas and Vicki are driving to elope, a man with a familar face steps into the road in front of them. Swerving to avoid him, the vehicle crashes.

The accident leaves Barnabas and Victoria in hospital. Victoria meets the man who resembles Peter - Jeff Clark. Dr. Lang, whilst treating Barnabas, uncovers his secret and exposes him to sunlight.

When the sunlight does not destroy him, Barnabas is stunned to realise that Lang's treatment has ended his curse... for now. The portrait of Angélique bewitches Roger and dispatches him to kill Lang.

Jeff is torn between Victoria and the mysterious hold Lang exercises concerning his past. Victoria visits the mausoleum to see if the secret room exists and finds Jeff has been drawn there also.

Victoria's visit to the mausoleum uncovers new memories of the past. Barnabas senses his curse returning. Lang vows to expose Jeff as recovering from criminal insanity if his friendship with Victoria continues.

Roger's infatuation with the portrait continues when he disappears with it into the night. Victoria breaks off her engagement with Barnabas. Lang sends Jeff to steal a dismembered arm as his experiment begins.

Mrs Johnson is unhappy when her criminal son Harry arrives for a visit. Dr. Lang offers to give Barnabas the appearance of Jeff Clark, winning Vicki's love and freeing him from the curse.

A possessed Roger attempts to kill Dr. Lang with a spear, but is stopped by the entrance of Julia and Barnabas. Meanwhile, the missing portrait of Angélique returns to Collinwood.

Shockwaves resonate through Collinwood when Roger introduces his new wife, Cassandra. Barnabas recognises her as Angélique wearing a dark wig. Elizabeth demands that the marriage be dissolved.

Elizabeth begs Cassandra to leave Roger. A troubled Victoria knows Casandra's true identity. In private, Cassandra confides to the portrait of Barnabas that she intends to ensure that his curse continues.

Barnabas obtains a talisman from Stokes to protect Lang, which successfully disarms Cassandra's magic. Lang reveals the body he intends to house Barnabas' life force in to end the curse.

A wary Barnabas considers Lang's proposal. Julia's suspicions grow. Jealous of Victoria's growing rapport with Jeff, Barnabas decides that he will undergo the experiment if it will give him Jeff's face.

Tony confronts Carolyn and then Barnabas about the night that he saw both of them at the Old House. Cassandra places Tony under her power to help her. Angelique comes to Barnabas in a dream and tells him that she will turn him back to a vampire at through a dream curse.

Dr. Lang drugs Jeff and plans to use his face for Barnabas’ new body. Cassandra starts the dream curse, she chooses Maggie to be the first to have it. In the dream Maggie is beckoned by Jeff to a room which has several doors, she opens a door and finds a skull. Dr. Lang prepares to cut Jeff’s face off.

When a distressed Victoria visits Lang in search of Jeff, Barnabas realises how deeply she loves him and reconsiders his plan. However, Lang believes that Jeff must die to protect their secrets.

Barnabas enlists Julia to hypnotise Jeff and curb his threat. Julia is horrified when Jeff reveals the truth of the experiment. Terrified after seeing Lang's creation, she is determined to inform the police.

A truce is reached when Lang agrees to spare Jeff, if Julia keeps her silence. Julia finds herself an uneasy player in Lang's experiment. Tony is sent to Lang's house by Cassandra to take Stokes' talisman.

Lang needs a new assistant to replace Jeff, so Barnabas decides to bring Willie Loomis back from Windcliff. Maggie passes the dream on to Jeff in a conversation, which he has himself when he sleeps.

Barnabas asks Julia to arrange the release of Willie Loomis from Wyndcliffe Sanatarium. Barnabas and Julia visit him there and release him, inspite of Julia's objection to Barnabas' plans. They then take Willie to the Old House, where Barnabas tells Willie that he is not allowed to leave the house unless Barnabas is with him or he has permission. Willie does not obey and goes to the Evans Cottage. He scares Maggie, who is still upset about what she thinks he did to him. He chases her around, but the arrival of Joe scares him off. Joe asks Maggie who it was and Maggie tells him to just hold her in his arms. Joe comes to the Old House and talks to Barnabas about Willie returning. As Joe leaves, Willie moves out from behind the column and pretends to shoots at Joe, laughing maniacally.

Julia argues successfully that Willie is not stable enough to assist Lang. Lang becomes the unwitting recipient of the dream while trying to gain Jeff's assistance, which sees him confronted by his unfinished creation.

Dr. Eric Lang works on his creation but can't keep his mind off his dream. Julia enters in the same fashion that she came in during his dream. Eric tells her the dream. Barnabas tells Willie to give Elizabeth a note saying that he will be leaving and that Adam Collins, a cousin from England (really Barnabas in a new body) will arrive to take his place. When Willie arrives at Collinwood, only Cassandra is home. She tries to get the letter, but Elizabeth's car pulls up in the driveway before she can.
