Victoria searches for David in the basement when she meets Matthew Morgan, who warns her to stay out of the basement and mind her own business. Elizabeth shows concern for the locked room in the basement. Matthew explains to Victoria that 18 years ago Elizabeth offered him the job as caretaker after firing all of the Collinwood staff. Elizabeth talks with David, who is concerned that Victoria's presence will keep his mother (Laura) away. Elizabeth tells David that his mother is ill and that is why she cannot be with him. Victoria asks Elizabeth why she was hired and what she might know about her past. Elizabeth tells Victoria that she knows nothing about her past, and doesn't appreciate being interrogated.
