18 December 2008
A young woman in white is out horseback riding near her father's estate. On a ridge she sees a maniacal black figure. A middle aged woman who screams and then pursues her back to the house. She backs off as the young woman gets to her destination. The young woman is to be married soon to an accountant. As her father and fiancé try to comfort her, a handsome young man comes to the door to see her. Apparently, he is quite taken with her but has been told to stay away. There is obviously a spark still there. The father eventually pulls a gun on him. The father is a dominating figure and always gets his way. The rest of the episode is about the future results of these actions. We have two figures of the same person at different times in their lives; yet they are in the same time dimension. We get to see what will happen and it is not pretty. Quite a good episode with a lot of unanswered questions about what can be and what will be.
