Detailed Synopsis

A pregnant woman runs away from a group of men carrying farm implements. She comes to a large abandoned building 50 miles from Boston, and her crystal necklace shines in the light. She enters the building and is followed by the men and then jumps to her death out a window. A pregnant Jane Brooks wakes up from a nightmare and then stares at herself in the mirror. Leslie walks through the same building the woman ran to and stares out of the broken window the woman jumped out of. She is surprised by Gary Witchery|Gary, who gives her a cup of coffee and tells her he thinks she has been working too hard. She then reads from a book on Witch's Light written by a German author. Jane buys a toy for her brother, and as she is walking home, she is almost crushed by a falling I-beam, but is saved when the Woman in Black shines her crystal into her face, causing Jane to stop just short of being crushed. Tommy Brooks is playing with a ball when the Lady in Black picks it up and hands it back to him. The Lady in Black then tells him that Jane bought a present for him. Leslie thanks Gary for coming with her to take photographs for her book and when he starts talking about their relationship, she quickly changes the subject. Gary brings up how Leslie is still a virgin and she asks him to drop the subject. Jane asks Rose Brooks why she wants to buy a house, which is the same one the woman committed suicide from, and Rose tells her it is the perfect place to turn into a club. Freddie Brooks tells her the architect cancelled and she finds a new one, Linda Sullivan. The Lady in Black appears to Linda and when Jon answers the ringing phone, Linda takes it from him. Linda then agrees to meet with the Brooks. Leslie continues to read from her book on Witch's Light and Gary tries once more to have sex with her, but she tells him to go to his sleeping bag. The Lady in Black gently rocks a baby carriage while speaking in German. While searching the building, Leslie sees a reflection of the Lady in Black in the glass of the broken window the woman jumped from. Tony Giordano tells the Brooks that Jerry Giordano will be the one taking them to the island with the building. On the wall of the office is an enlarged and framed photo of a Boardwalk property tile from the Monopoly game.
