Whilst Nathan tries to contact Clarity for the reasons she was haunting Peter Hare Charlotte discovers sabotage on the farm, and Peter's tormentor, the exiled Jack Langtree, is suspect. School-teacher Martha Enderby tells Nathan she is concerned for Alice, a young girl who was about to elope with Langtree and takes Nathan to the woods where he is living, only to find that Alice is dead. When cornered Langtree denies her murder, leading to a surprising confession from Martha which endangers Charlotte, who is now fearful for her unborn child.
