House of Salt and Sorrows

Morella’s pregnancy is progressing quickly. The doctor says she’s having twins, and the family sends for a midwife to ease her pain and concerns. Soon, Eulalie’s suitor Edgar arrives at Highmoor Manor. Annaleigh is shocked to see him, but he insists on talking about the night Eulalie died. Camille joins the conversation, sending for tea. Edgar explains that he and Eulalie were in love and they planned to elope. Eulalie told him that she uncovered a secret and was in danger, so they needed to hurry. Camille is polite but disbelieving; Annaleigh says she knew Edgar was Eulalie’s fiancé based on the lock in her pocket watch. Edgar explains he was rowing his boat to meet Eulalie that night and saw a shadow on the cliffs behind her. He believes Eulalie was pushed, as does Annaleigh. Camille claims he’s insulting their family with his lies, and Fisher comes in to escort him out. Edgar yells for Annaleigh, but she’s frozen in shock.

Afterward, Annaleigh states she believes Edgar. Camille thinks he’s lying and trying to get money, as Eulalie was the original heir. She then cries, stating Edgar at least looked past their curse, as she herself will likely never find a good husband.
