The SeanceEpisode Number: 11 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Wednesday December 15, 1976 Prod Code: n/a |
A rich widow, pressured by insurance investigators about the repeated disappearances of her jewelery, hires Charlie's Angels to solve the mystery. The girls get their first clue when the daffy old lady tells them that her dead husband manages her business affairs from the grave through a medium named Madame Dorian.
Kelly assumes the identity of a rich Texas widowed oil heiress; Jill becomes her friend from the Lone star state and Bosley, their French chauffeur. Unbeknownst to the others, Madame Dorian's male assistant hypnotizes Kelly as he had done with the previous widows - to get financial information from her. During the trance, Kelly reveals her true identify as a private investigator and the abusive matron who ran the orphanage where Kelly was raised.
Realizing that the con game has been uncovered, he programs Kelly to perceive Jill as a childhood "bogeyperson" so he can attempt a getaway. The hypnotized Kelly helps in his escape by keeping Charlie's team busy trying to stop her from killing Jill.

Sabrina: Kelly, will you give Jill the gun?
Kelly: (Pulling the gun away from Terrance.) Sure thing, kiddo. (Handing her gun over to Jill.) Now that was a performance.
Jill: You get my vote. It's the best performance in a situation trance I've ever seen. (All Angels smiling at each other leaving Terrance baffled.) (edit) Kelly: (After getting out of her car and pointing it at Terrance who's attempting to fight off Jill.) Leave her alone. Haven't you done enough harm, Beamish?
Terrance: What?
Kelly: You're evil Beamish?
Terrance: Wait. Kelly this isn't what I told you to do.
Kelly: (Walking towards Terrance who still has Jill in an arm hold.) I have to destroy you. That's the only way I'll ever be rid of you, Beamish. (edit) Kelly: (sobbing after she stopped her car from going into the rocks) Oh, Jill. Jill, I nearly killed you.
Jill: Oh, Hey, us. Kelly, you were here too! (edit) Terrance: Do you know who Beamish really is?
Kelly: Uh, Matron.
Terrance: Yes, but now she calls herself Jill Munroe.
Kelly: No...
Terrance: Yes. It's her cover name. And she's disguised, too. If you look very carefully you will see she is Beamish. (edit) Kelly: (calling out from the dressing room.) Jill, I have a funny feeling about this.
Jill: Oh, come on. You've checked out bunco artists before. I mean, Dorian is just going to do the old tambourine and trumpet routine. You'll be out of there in 20 minutes.
Kelly: If I have to come on about dear old dad, I'm going to mess it up. I just know it.
Jill: Most wonderful daddy any girl ever had. (glancing at Bosley.)
Kelly: It's a tough role for an orphan girl. (coming out of the dressing room with a lavender dress on.)
Jill: Wow! Some orphan!
Bosley: Right on. How much? (looking at the price tag) Right off! (edit)
