While playing a small trick on Dr Gordon, Vicki causes him to break a lense on a piece of his equipment. Saying that he now needs to go to the city to replace it Jenny says they will go the next day as there's people passing through that she wanted to visit with. Manfred is helping out by getting some suitcases down from the loft when a pile of them fall on him hitting him in the head. The next day after Dr Gordon and Jenny leave Vicki tells him he's expected to fix the roof. Manfred acts very strange and Vicki takes that as trying to be lazy so she climbs the ladder to the roof. When asking Manfred to pass a hammer, he acts like he does not understand her and just takes the ladder down trapping her on the roof. Mr. O'Riley rescues her from the roof and spins her a tale of ghosts and spirit possessions. She can't find Manfred anywhere. When she goes to the general store she finds him leaving with a strange old lady that two ladies claim is a witch. Vicki follows to 'rescue' him. He gets hit in the head again and returns to his normal self. The 'witch' is just a lonely German lady, whom Manfred had befriended because she could only speak German.
