          Lee Webber goes to court.  Rodney proposes to Allison.
     
WA:       Chris Webber has just seen his brother Lee, arrested in
          connection with the death of Ann Howard.  Chris is convinced
          that the arrest, indeed, the entire case against his brother,
          was triggered by Allison Mackenzie.  Allison came to the
          Webber house, thinking she would be able to talk to Chris, to
          apologize to him.  But now, seeing him, she can't.

Intro:    Chris walking on the wharf toward his house.

Scene 1:  Allison is about to leave the Webber house as Chris arrives
          home.  Chris senses Allison but thinks it is Sandy.  Sandy
          opens the front door.  Allison says that she is just leaving.
          Chris tells Allison that she broke her promise to him.  That
          she admitted that Chris knows that Ann did not push him off
          the bluff 18 years ago.  Chris orders Sandy to make him some
          coffee.  Chris emphasizes to Allison that he told her Ann was
          innocent in confidence.  Allison says that there are some
          things more important than promises.  Chris tells her that he
          has never loved anyone before.  Allison says that she is
          sorry. Chris says for leading him on.  He says that he
          thought she preferred him to the rich, handsome, Rodney
          Harrington.  He says that Allison is incapable of loving
          anyone.  That she is incapable of feeling.

Scene 2:  In the hospital lab, Dr. Rossi is looking through a binocular
          microscope as Elliot Carson enters.  Rossi thanks Elliot for
          coming to the police station.  And asks Elliot to thank
          Constance too.  Elliot tells Rossi that Lee Webber has been
          booked on suspicion in the death of Ann Howard.  Allison said
          she saw Chris driving on the beach road on his motorcycle. 
          And that she saw Lee throw away a whiskey bottle.  Rossi asks
          why Allison didn't mention the whiskey bottle during the
          first interrogation.

Scene 3:  In the courtroom, Lee Webber asks the bailiff for permission
          to speak with Sandy.  Sandy tells Lee that Allison saw Lee on
          the bluff.  Irwin A. Chester is presiding.  Judge Chester
          recommends W.J. Bill Anderson of the firm Anderson and Evans
          as Lee's attorney.  Lee asks Judge Chester if he can speak to
          Steven about representing him.  Lee asks to talk with Steven
          Cord.  Lee wants Steven Cord to represent him. He wants someone
          who will fight for him like Steven did for Rodney Harrington. 
          Steven says that he is not interested.  Lee says that there is
          no evidence against him.  Lee says that Ann Howard went from
          Peyton Place to a mental home.  Lee asks what makes Steven so
          sure that Ann didn't kill herself.  Judge Chester announces
          that court will resume.  The hearing is set for Thursday the
          23rd at 1:00 p.m.

Scene 4:  Dr. Rossi climbs the steps to the boarding house.  Mrs. Hewitt
          is vacuuming a carpet as Dr. Rossi comes in.  She says that she
          wants to give Rossi the key to Ann's apartment.  Rossi talks
          with Mrs. Hewitt about Ann's things that are still in her
          apartment.  She gives Dr. Rossi the key to Ann's apartment.

Scene 5:  Norman and Rita meet up with Dr. Rossi on the wharf.  They
          invite him to dinner.  Norman is there to select lobsters for
          dinner that night.  Rossi says that he has to get started on
          his research project again.  Norman tells Rita that Rossi is
          cool as a cucumber.  Norman says that he heard that Rossi was
          planning to marry Ann Howard.

Scene 6:  Steven Cord talks with Betty about Lee Webber and the murder charge. 
          Steven speaks of the gaul of Lee Webber.  Steven tells Betty that
          the court appointed Bill Anderson.  Steven says that he is not
          sure that Lee is guilty, but that Lee would lie to his grandmother
          on her death bed.  However Steven is thinking about representing
          Lee.  Ann was a strong person but she had an Achilles' heel, a fear
          of the past.  She had spent time in a mental institution because of
          her obsession with the bluff.  Steven says, "You can heal the wound, but
          you can't take back the experience."  Steven tries to convince
          Betty that it is possible that Ann may have committed suicide. 
          Betty allows that Ann Howard and Mike Rossi had been planning to get
          married.  Steven replies that they weren't married yet.  And that
          Ann's first marriage was a complete disaster.  Steven says, "In the
          law books, we would be listed as Siblings, not in fact, but in blood."

          depending on him.

Scene 3:  A policeman, jailer, ushers Lee Webber into the lawyer's
          conference room.  Lee implores Steven to represent him. 
          Steven asks if this is the new, honest, Lee Webber.  Lee
          admits that he pushed Chris 17 years ago because he was
          jealous of Chris.  And for 17 years has blamed Ann Howard. 
          He hated Ann because she kept trying to find out the truth. 
          He lost the only person in the world he cared for.  Lee says
          he wants Steven to trust him and to defend him.  Lee asserts
          that he didn't kill Ann Howard.  He tells Steven that he
          forced Sandy to give him an alibi.

Scene 4:  Dr. Rossi is in the beach house, drinking.  He picks up a
          piece of broken glass from the fireplace.  He goes over to
          hang up his tie and happens to look out the window and sees
          Allison standing at the bluff.  Rossi goes out and shouts to
          her.  He brings her in the cottage and asks her what she was
          doing.  She says that she was thinking.  She wanted to be by
          herself.  Rossi tells her that she is acting irresponsibly. 
          She almost collapses and he leads her to the sofa.  He says
          he will call Constance.

          comes in and is told by Constance that Allison is upstairs.

          wants to take Allison to the hospital for the night. 
          Constance tells Allison and the three go to the hospital.

Scene 6:  Eli goes back in the General Store.  Norman asks how Allison

          Constance asks Elliot to search for Allison in New York City.

WA:       Rodney Harrington has ended his night-long search for Allison
          Mackenzie.  Like a man lost in the desert, he has wandered in
          every conceivable direction until he was unable to distinguish
          one place from another.  And now he must return to the Peyton
          house.  A house he can no longer call home, carrying with him
          the feeling that he has somehow caused Allison's flight.  But
          there are others in this house who know the sting of guilt and
          failure.

Intro:    Rodney drives up, gets out of his convertible, and goes in the
          front door of the mansion. 

Scene 1:  In the house, Rodney finds Martin Peyton asleep in the living
          room.  Rodney speaks and wakens Peyton.  The old man asks him
          where he looked and why Allison ran away.  Peyton suggests that
          Rodney may be blaming himself.  He tells Rodney that he is not
          at fault.  Rodney says that he loved Allison.  Peyton says that
          that was not enough.  Peyton mentions that Leslie insists that
          the murder of Elizabeth Hanley Carson was committed by
          Catherine.  Peyton says that he is an old man and that he feels
          that Allison is gone for good.  Hannah appears at the
          top of the stairs and joins the discussion.  Rodney thanks
          Peyton for waiting up, and retires to his bedroom. 

Scene 2:  Now Hannah talks to Peyton.  She talks about Steven defending
          Lee Webber.  Peyton tells off Hannah.

Scene 3:  Elliot goes across the street to the police station and talks
          with Sgt. William Wilson Walker. He asks to talk with Lee
          Webber.  Walker says no.  As Elliot is leaving, he runs into
          Steven Cord and asks permission to see Lee Webber.  Steven says
          he can not allow it.  Steven says that Lee has a right to a
          lawyer and to a fair trial.

Scene 4:  Elliot goes in to see District Attorney John Fowler.  Fowler
          tells Elliot why he asked the judge for Lee's bail to be
          revoked.  That Lee had talked with Allison.  Lee said that
          Allison didn't make any sense.  Fowler said that Lee gave him
          the technicality to have his bail revoked.  Lee said that
          Allison acted as though she were high on something.  Fowler
          says that Elliot can read Lee Webber's statement and that is
          all.  Elliot starts to leave in a huff.

Scene 5:  At the Webber house, Chris is talking with Sandy about putting
          up with Lee for 17 years.  Chris asks Sandy if she wants to
          maintain that Lee is a clean cut guy who has had bad luck. 
          Chris tells Sandy to face the truth.  Chris says that Lee is
          probably back in jail.  Chris says that Lee has to be punished
          for what he did to Ann Howard.

Scene 6:  Chris crosses the street from the square to the Book Gallery. 
          He finds the door locked so he knocks.  Elliot walks over from
          the square and tells Chris that Mrs. Carson is at home.  But
          Elliot unlocks the door and invites him in the Book Gallery and
          they talk.  Chris talks about Elliot's trying to keep Allison
          and him away from each other.  Chris says that if Elliot hadn't
          interfered, then Allison might not have left.  Chris says that
          Elliot fixed it so Allison would have no one to turn to.  Chris
          leaves. [This is one scene where Chris does not have a close
          call with a passing motorist.]

Scene 7:  Constance comes in Allison's room and finds Betty is looking at
          one of Allison's lifesize dolls.  Betty talks to Constance
          about losing Rodney's baby.  She says that she would like to be
          there when Constance' baby arrives.  Elliot comes in the front
          door and calls out.  Constance tells him that they are upstairs
          in the nursery.  Elliot complains about the lack of action of
          the police.  Constance asks Elliot to go to New York City to
          search for Allison.  Elliot at first says it is impossible, but
          eventually agrees to do it.  Constance tells Elliot that Betty
          can stay with her.

WA:       Betty Anderson [Cord], occupation, housewife.  But today, she
          is actively employed.  While Constance Mackenzie's husband is
          in New York, Betty has been staying with her, taking care of
          her book shop, for Constance is soon to have a baby.  Betty's
          husband, Steven Cord, occupation counselor-at-law, now

          heavy world.  But this morning in Peyton Place, Betty Anderson
          attempts to lighten it.
   
MEL:      This is the first of 247 episodes in color.  Allison Mackenzie
          had disappeared between episodes 263 and 264, only a few days
          earlier.  The bail for Lee Webber was revoked and he was
          re-jailed after having spoken to Allison.  She had been a
          potential witness against Lee.  [The sci-fi series Star Trek
          debuted 09-08-66, four days earlier.  A number of guest actors
          in "Star Trek" also appeared in Peyton Place, commencing with
          the train conductor in episode 1.  Two regular cast members of
          Star Trek had minor roles.  Scotty as Thomas the chauffeur, 
          and Uhura as a nurse in Boston Memorial in episode 234. 
          "The Fugitive" was in the midst of a four year run at this
          time.  It made the transition from B&W to color.  Bewitched
          made the transition to color also.  It ran from Sept. 17, 1964
          to July 1, 1972.  Kasey Rogers who played Julie Anderson in
          Peyton Place, played the role of Louise Tate in "Bewitched". 
          About this time, "Gilligan's Island" also made the transition to
          color.
       
Intro:    A couple is sitting on a bench, in the square.  There are
          several children playing.  Betty drives up in her light blue
          four-door sedan, parks in front of the Book Gallery, crosses
          the square, and goes into the Peyton Place Bank and Trust
          Building, also referred to as the Chamber of Commerce building.
       
Scene 1:  In Steven Cord's outer office, miss Nolan has just poured a cup
          of coffee as Betty comes in.  Betty intercepts the cup of
          coffee and carries it into Steven.  Without looking to see who
          it is, Steven says, "Thank you, miss Nolan."  They playfully
          engage in a little husband-wife banter.  Betty sits in Steven's
          lap.  After a few moments, Chris Webber barges into Steven's
          inner office to complain about Steven representing Lee.  Steven
          dismisses [excuses] Betty from the office by saying, "See you
          at lunch."  Betty leaves without acknowledging Chris.  Chris
          angrily demands to know why Steven is representing Lee.  Chris
          recalls that Steven was on the bluff when Chris plummeted to
          his blindness.  Steven says that Lee had previously admitted to
          him that he, Lee, had pushed Chris off the bluff 17 years ago.
   
Scene 2:  Meanwhile, back at the Peyton mansion, Hannah Cord is sorting
          through the contents of the late Brian [Cord] Colby's trunk. 
          Martin Peyton comes over to observe and to impose his wisdom
          upon her.  Hannah tosses an artist's pallette into the
          fireplace.  Peyton asks, "What madness is this?"  Hannah says
          that she doesn't want any of Brian's papers to fall into the
          wrong hands and that she wants to destroy any evidence that
          Brian ever lived.  [Typical of any grieving widow who had gone
          through Hannah's experiences.]  She burns a sketch of
          Catherine.  [Rachel Welles, who appears a few days later would
          most likely have described Hannah as being bereft].  Hannah
          tells Peyton that he is cruel.

Scene 3:  Sandy Webber comes home to find Chris sitting on the sofa
          brooding.  She asks Chris if he has had lunch and if he would
          be interested in going fishing.  Sandy says that she had a bad
          day today.  She dropped a pot of coffee and gave a woman too
          much change for a five dollar bill.  Chris asks Sandy why she
          hasn't been to visit Lee since he has been in jail.  And he
          asks if she thinks that Lee murdered Ann Howard.
   
Scene 4:  Rodney is working in the Shoreline Garage as Norman and Rita
          come in to visit.  Rodney totes an automobile battery over to
          the car that he is working on.  Rita tells Rodney he is just
          like Dr. Rossi.  That Rossi is working day and night trying to
          forget about Ann Howard.  Rodney is working day and night
          trying to forget about Allison.  Rodney responds that Allison
          needed him.  Rita tells Rodney that "We need you."  Rita says
          she knows that Allison will be back.  [Wishful thinking.] 
          Rodney hugs Rita. 
   
Scene 5:  At the Carson house, Betty is cooking hamburger patties and is
          putting food on the table for Constance.  They all sit down to
          eat.  Because Constance is expecting, she is eating rabbit food.
          Constance complains about the diet she is reluctantly trying
          to follow.  Betty counters that she has gained 5 pounds after
          she married Steven.  [A lot of women let themselves go after
          getting married.  However, some travel a lot farther than
          others.]  Betty says she misses her mother.  [Julie had left
          Peyton Place shortly after episode 252.]  Betty confides in
          Constance that she was always envious of Allison.  The phone
          rings and Betty offers to answer it.  Constance says it may be
          Elliot so she goes to the livingroom to pick up the phone.
       
Scene 6:  From his New York City hotel room, Elliot is calling Constance. 
          The scene switches back and forth between the hotel room in New
          York City and the Carson livingroom in Peyton Place.  Elliot
          says that he has checked in with the New York City police, the
          hospitals, and the publishers.  Constance has a white phone and
          Elliot is using a black phone.

Episode 270.

          Matthew Carson is born.
   
WA:       Eli Carson plays a waiting game.  He has come to the White
          River Airport to meet his son, Elliot, returning from New York,
          where he has been searching for his daughter, Allison.  If time
          is on his side, Elliot will be in Peyton Place for the birth of
          his second child.  Now Eli can only wait impatiently for the
          plane to land.  Eli knows that if the modern miracle of speed,
          can out-race the age-old miracle of birth, every moment will
          count.
         
Intro:    WHITE RIVER AIRPORT.  An airline captain is leaving the
          terminal building.  A ramp is being moved to the airplane. 
          Passengers are coming off plane.  Elliot is the eighth person
          to get off the plane.
       
Scene 1:  Eli meets Elliot.  Elliot is concerned.  Eli calls Elliot a
          "chowder head."  Elliot almost forgets the luggage.  Elliot
          says that he wants to drive.

Scene 2:  At the hospital, Steven walks up to Betty and miss Choate.  The
          nurse is overly sweet to Steven.  Elliot rushes through the
          double doors to the Information Desk in the reception area, and
          asks Betty if he is on time.  Elliot is becoming hyper. 
          Eli tries to calm Elliot down.  Eli talks about his wife [Ruth]
          and the time when Elliot was born.  Eli tries to convince
          Elliot that the baby could be a girl.  Elliot finds it
          extremely difficult to imagine.  [This was before sonograms
          became common for pre-natal gender identification].  Dr. Rossi
          comes out to announce the birth of an 8 lb. 2 oz. healthy boy.

Scene 3:  Betty picks up the phone at the Information Desk.  Martin
          Peyton has telephoned Betty at the hospital.  He had tried the
          Carson house and got no answer.  Peyton wants her to come to
          the mansion alone, tonight.  He insists.  He expects her to
          come over after she sees Mrs. Carson.  He abruptly hangs up, as
          is his custom.  Steven says that he wonders what the old man
          wants.  Steven tells Betty to spy on Peyton while she is
          there.  Steven reminds Betty that he is Lee Webber's lawyer.
                 
Scene 4:  Elliot comes in to see Constance as she is being rolled to her
          room.  Elliot kisses Constance and Eli thanks her for his new
          grandson.  There was no indication what-so-ever of a recovery
          room.

Scene 5:  Rossi comes out of Maternity into the corridor carrying a metal
          clip-board.  Betty congratulates Dr. Rossi on the successful
          delivery.  Rossi excuses himself.  Betty opines that Rossi is
          still very lonely.

          Elliot knocks on Constance' door and asks the nurse if he can
          see Constance again.  The nurse bruskly informs him that he
          will have to ask the doctor.  She goes back in and shuts the
          door.  Eli allows, "She's about as personable as a wash basin,
          a steel wash basin."
       
          The nurse tells Dr. Rossi that she has gotten Constance into
          her bed.  Rossi tells the nurse to admit Elliot.  She gives
          Elliot a dirty look and walks off with her nose in the air.
     
Scene 6:  Elliot comes in to visit Constance again.  He kisses her in
          deep appreciation.  Elliot says that, "God gave us Matthew to
          replace Allison."
       
Scene 7:  Steven goes over to the Peyton County jail to confer with Lee
          in his cell.  Lee is playing solitaire.  [Back in those by-gone
          days, people actually used playing cards for solitaire.  Bill
          Gates had not yet taken charge.]  He says he thinks he has this
          one beat.  Then Lee says that he is just a born loser.  Lee
          asks Steven if he has seen his brother, Chris.  Steven says no. 
          Steven does not want Lee to worry about anything except how he
          impresses Judge Chester.  Lee mentions "Goldilocks Harrington." 
          There is no jury in a hearing of this sort.  Lee says that "The
          basement of Martin Peyton's mansion is not much better than
          that shack I have down on the wharf."  Steven tells Lee that he
          is not going to put Lee on the stand to testify.  Lee,
          accusingly, asks if Steven plans to see that he is convicted. 
          Steven calls for the guard.  Lee threatens to come back and get
          Steven if he is pulling anything on him.  Steven asks, "How
          and when?"  Lee holds up a very dark three of hearts. 
       
Scene 8:  Meanwhile back at the Peyton mansion, Betty is pouring sherry. 
          He tells her that he has missed her.  Peyton is seen through a
          glass darkly.  But Betty comes over to him, face-to-face,
          bringing him his drink.  He says that he is surprised that
          Steven let her come over that late at night.  Peyton commends
          her loyalty.  He says Steven is very lucky to have her.  Peyton
          tells Betty that the reason he called her over is that he does
          not want Steven to defend Lee Webber.  He tells Betty that he
          had asked Rodney to talk to her about this but Rodney refused. 
          Peyton insists that Steven must not defend Lee Webber.  Betty
          says this is "business, not personal."  [As Michael Corleone
          says in the "Godfather" movie].
       
Scene 9:  Elliot is sitting by Constance' bed as Dr. Rossi comes in to
          check on her.  Rossi tells Elliot it is time to go.  Rossi says
          he has broken every rule in the hospital.  Elliot kisses
          her and leaves.  [Back in those days, non-patients were
          considered a huge nuisance, only to be tolerated during brief
          specified visiting hours].  Dr. Rossi takes Constance' pulse. 
     
Scene 10: In the hospital nursery, a masked nurse is tending the
          newborns.  Rossi takes Elliot to the nursery viewing window. 
          Elliot says, "Mike, which one?"  Rossi hands Elliot a card
          which reads "CARSON."  Elliot holds up the card and the nurse
          brings Matthew.  Matthew lets out a loud cry.  Elliot inquires
          why his son is crying.  Elliot wants Matthew put back in his
          crib.  Rossi signals the nurse that they are through looking so
          she puts Matthew back in his crib.

WA:       Dr. Michael Rossi, still deeply affected by the death of Ann
          Howard, has been summoned to the office of the Peyton County
          District Attorney, John Fowler.  Dr. Rossi has found himself
          maneuvered by both Fowler and Steven Cord, counsel for the
          defense of Lee Webber, accused of Ann's murder.  Placed
          squarely in the middle, Dr. Rossi is an angry man.
       
Intro:    Children throwing beach balls around in the square as Dr. Rossi
          drives up in his gold, hard top convertible.
       
Scene 1:  District Attorney John Fowler, in his office in the courthouse,
          receives a call on his multi-line speakerphone.  He asks Rossi
          about the relationship between Ann Howard and Hannah Cord.  And
          that Steven has subpoened his mother as a witness for the
          defense.

Scene 2:  The door chimes sound, Peyton slams down the newspaper, and
          using two canes, begins to rise from his easy chair to answer
          the door.  Rodney appears and says the he will get it.  Rodney
          ushers in Dr. Rossi.  Rossi says that he wants answers from
          Peyton.  He doesn't acquire many.  Rossi leaves and Rodney goes
          in to the livingroom to talk with his grandfather.
       
Scene 3:  In Lee Webber's jail cell, Steven prepares his client for
          court.  Lee shows Steven that he has a hole in his sock. 
          Steven summons the jail barber, and tells Lee to wear a plain
          dark tie in court.  The barber comes in Lee's cell and prepares
          to clip.  Lee takes off his suit coat and throws it on the
          fold-down cot.
                 
Scene 4:  In the police station squad room, Rossi and Elliot confer. 
          Rossi wonders out loud why Hannah has ignored the subpoena. 
          She hopped the first plane out of White River for points north. 
          Doctor Rossi refers to Peyton sitting up on the hill in his
          "gilt-edged mansion."
   
Scene 5:  District Attorney John Fowler enters the courtroom.  Betty
          follows him in, sits in a spectator seat, and discusses the
          case with him, at some length.  Fowler says that Steven grew up
          with a "tyrant."  Betty says that someone had to defend Lee
          Webber.  Betty tells District Attorney Fowler that
          professionally he is putting himself in a "very awkward
          position." 
       
Scene 6:  Constance is tending to Matthew as a rather strident nurse
          comes in to announce Rita.  The nurse takes baby Matthew from
          Constance and Rita comes in to visit.  Rita tells Constance
          that Matthew is beautiful.  Rita has brought a present for
          Matthew.  Constance asks Rita, where she found it.  Rita said
          that she had made it.  Rita sews.  Constance and Rita agree
          that Rita is ready for a child. 

Scene 7:  The principles enter the courtroom.  Lee calls to Chris. 
          Steven urges Lee to sit down.  Rossi comes in and sits directly
          behind John Fowler and to the right of Rodney Harrington.  The
          hearing begins with Judge Irwin A. Chester presiding.  Owen
          Gates, Coroner of Peyton County, is sworn in.

WA:       The Peyton County Courthouse.  The preliminary hearing
          continues.  The prosecution seeks to prove that a young woman
          named Ann Howard, died a violent death at the hands of Lee
          Webber.  Today, District Attorney John Fowler finds himself
          locked in a struggle with defense counsel Steven Cord, over the

MEL:      Rita asks Constance for a job caring for Matthew.

Intro:    A clerk brings a file from the police station to John Fowler.

          He asks when was the last time the doctor saw Ann Howard. 
          Rossi said the talked to her in the morning and later talked
          with her on the phone.  Rossi says that Ann told him she had an
          errand.  Rossi says that when Ann left the Peyton house, she
          was crying.  She then went to Rossi's beach house.  Steven got
          Rossi to admit that he at first had thought that Ann might have
          leaped from Sailor's Bluff.  Fowler objects to a question about
          Ann's medical record.  He is overruled by Judge Chester.

Scene 2:  Rita goes to the hospital to visit Constance.  Constance is
          knitting when Rita comes in her room.  Rita is there to ask her
          for a job caring for baby Matthew when Constance goes home from
          the hospital.  Constance asks Rita if she has talked with
          Norman about this.  Rita says that she knows that it will be
          okay with Norman.  Constance says she has already made
          arrangements with Betty.  Rita prepares to leave and assures
          Constance again that she is really good with babies.
     
Scene 3:  At the courthouse, Rodney talks with Dr. Rossi about his
          testimony.  Rodney asks why the doctor changed his mind.  Rossi
          says he didn't change his mind.  Rossi says that he was just
          trying to tell the truth.  Rodney says that Rossi is beginning
          to sound like Lee's lawyer.  Fowler comes out of the courtroom
          and is summoned to the phone.
       
          Fowler picks up the phone and talks with Deputy Knox.  The
          deputy had been sent to the airport to serve a summons.  He
          tells John that Hannah has a one-way plane ticket to Boston and
          then from Boston to New York.
     
Scene 5:  In the General Store, Norman and Rita prepare to go camping. 
          Eli gives them two aluminum mess kits on the house. 
          [probably WWII surplus].  Eli assures Norman that the mess kits
          won't rust.  Rita tells Norman that she had talked to Constance
          about taking care of Matthew.  Norman tells Rita that she will
          throw their plans out the window if she starts taking care of
          the baby.  Norman asks Rita to go for a drive.  He drives and
          she walks.  Norman says they are still to young to start a
          family.
       
Scene 6:  In his parlor, Peyton, in his motorized wheelchair, asks John
          Fowler about a chess problem.  Fowler allows that he isn't much
          of a chess expert.  Fowler asks Peyton about Hannah's journey. 
          He asks Peyton if he knows where Hannah is.  Fowler says he is
          asking as a favor.  Peyton retorts that he didn't know that he
          owed Fowler a favor. 

          Hannah suddenly appears.  Peyton asks sternly, "What are you
          doing here?"  John Fowler reappears.  He warns Hannah that if
          she fails to appear in court, she will be charged with
          contempt.  Fowler asks Hannah the purpose of her journey. 
          Peyton tells off Fowler.  Fowler excuses himself to leave. 
          Peyton tells Fowler that Hannah has been in agony.  Fowler
          leaves.

          Peyton berates Hannah, "You fool.  You consummate fool." 
          Hannah berates Peyton.  Peyton tells Hannah he won't allow her
          to take on the witness stand.  She retorts that she doesn't
          recall asking his permission.  Peyton orders Hannah to go to
          her room.  She goes upstairs.  Peyton mentions John Fowler, Sr.

WA:       Since Allison Mackenzie's disappearance several weeks ago,
          Rodney Harrington has felt totally alone.  Yesterday he found
          someone who felt just as alone.  Someone he could talk to. 
          Someone who would understand.  Lee Webber's wife Sandy.
               
Intro:    On the wharf, Rodney walks past Joe's Boat Repair shop over to
          the Webber house.  Sandy is working in the kitchen listening to
          latin dance music on the radio.
       
Scene 1:  Sandy invites Rodney in the house.  Rodney asks if Chris is
          home.  Sandy turns off the radio.  [Sandy evidently agrees with
          Martin Peyton's contention that music should not be used as a
          background.]  She asks him if he would like some lemon-ade. 
          Rodney gives her a check purportedly for "special" work Lee had
          done before he was fired.  Sandy asks why the check is made out
          to Chris.  Rodney says he has to go.  He assures her that Lee
          earned it.  She offers him a lobster salad.  She refers to the
          chauffeur as Jeeves.  She asks him to set the table. 
          She goes over to an antique General Electric® refrigerator
          and takes out the lobster salad.  They find themselves close to
          each other and embrace.  They kiss each other.  Neither
          is the agressor.  It just happened. The attraction is mutual.
       
Scene 2:  Steven Cord goes to visit Lee Webber in his jail cell.  Lee is
          doing push-ups.  He says he does 100 every day.  Lee wants to
          know why Chris is going to testify against him.  They discuss
          the trial.  Lee complains that he lost count of his pushups. 
          As he leaves, Steven tells Lee that he stopped at 87.
     
Scene 3:  At the Carson house nursery, Eli and Elliot are painting the
          nursery.  The room was pink and they are going to paint it
          either summer sky blue or robins-egg blue for Matthew.  They
          agree on robin's-egg blue.  They talk about Allison and her
          bracelet.  [This is before Rachel was found.  An obvious
          set-up.]
       
Scene 4:  Sandy goes to visit Lee in his jail cell and tells him that she
          brought him cigarettes, shaving cream and magazines.  Lee
          kisses her.  She promises to bring shaving cream or anything
          else that he needs next time she visits.  He tells her that he
          missed her.  Lee tells her that he needs her.  Sandy tells Lee
          that Rodney brought them a check for back pay he was owed.  Lee
          insists that Rodney paid him every cent he was owed.  He
          wonders what else happened.  Sandy admits that she and Rodney
          kissed, once.  Lee fusses at Sandy.  She screams for the guard.

Scene 5:  Norman and Rita are setting up the camp tent south of Mr.
          Peterson's turkey farm.  Norman talks about Allison.  He said
          they came up here all the time.  Norman said he ran away.  He
          took Allison with him.  He talks about the abandoned cabin. 
          Rita says she knows that Allison will be back.  They snoop in
          the cabin and come upon Rachel.  An owl hoots.
     
          NH:  Don't worry.  It's just an owl. 
          RJ:  What's that? 
          NH:  It's Allison. [not so].
          RJ:  She's asleep.  Norm.
          NH:  Come with me if you're scared. 
          RJ:  Norm, Allison never had a dress like that.
