Learning from Victoria of what transpired with Burke at the Evans cottage, Roger is angered but relieved that Sam stayed on his side, but furious that Burke contradicted it. The nightmare that he has feared might come back to haunt him has, and he feigns confidence (in an arrogant manner) which makes the naive Victoria all the more confused.
Sam and Burke meet privately too, and Burke threatens to expose Sam for lying on the stand. It's obvious that one word against the other will keep this from being resolved without someone paying deeply for lying, and Victoria finds herself drawn in more than she wants to be. Roger makes Victoria an offer that includes no Widows Hill, no ghosts and no pressures. But Roger doesn't get the answer he wants, and Burke decides that one possible suspect in Bill's "murder" is innocent.
The confrontations between the two different parties are very tense, with Alexandra moltke standing up firmly and strongly to the nefarious Roger. It is also obvious that Burke comes to believe that Sam is almost as much of a victim as he is, twisting the tide on the cliffs of gothic intrigue.
