Nicholas sent Even on journey into the past with her lover. SLIDE 9 (From Episode 610; Broadcast 10/25/1968) Bewildered, Eve fled back to Adam's room only to find Nicholas awaiting her, demanding to know whom she had seen that disturbed her. Her answer was confusing, but it told him enough to know that Jeff Clark was involved. Needing to know more, he mesmerized her to send her back to her previous life nearly 200 years before. "Fix your eyes on the candle," he commanded, "and concentrate. You are moving back through the years - back -"
First Eve went limp, then she stiffened and cried out, "Peter!
I did it for us! For you and me I killed Philip - because
he would have killed you! I swear he would! Peter - don't look
at me that way - don't condemn me - I tell you I had to do
it! Peter -"

Sidebar to SLIDE 9 The workings of implacable fate lay behind Eve's confrontation with Jeff on the terrace. In the Collinsport of Colonial days grim tragedy parted these star-crossed lovers at the very foot of the hangman's scaffold. Jeff, whose name in that earlier incarnation had been Peter Bradford, saved Eve's life by confessing to a murder that she, not he, had committed.
Condemned to die on the scaffold, Peter heroically rejected Eve's
pleas to save himself by surrendering his soul to the powers of
witchcraft which she herself had embraced long ago. Thus an
innocent man died in ignorance of the fact that Eve's powers would
work on him even in death and that the two of them would meet again
after long centuries had passed.
