Quentin Collins became interested in learning more about Barnabas after he witnessed Julia Hoffman from the regular timeline calling out for him in Angelique's room, and then Hoffman appeared behind him. A seance was then held to contact Barnabas, but the ghost of Joshua appeared. Joshua identified himself as the former master of Collinwood and Barnabas' father, but said they already knew all they needed to know about Barnabas. However, Joshua did mention that there was an evil presence somewhere on the estate that "is not living nor dead" and needed to be destroyed.
