          Peyton offers, with strings, to let Leslie run the mill.  Steven
          proposes to Betty.
             
WA:       Tonight, Norman Harrington is taking his wife, Rita, to dinner
          at his grandfather Martin Peyton's house.  This afternoon it
          became apparent that Norman's brother Rodney will soon be free.

Intro:    Norman skips down the street past the Clarion to the apartment. 
          In a plastic bag, he is carrying a suit that he has just picked
          up from the cleaners.  We learn in scene 3, from Rita, that he
          had it pressed.

Scene 1:  Norman goes in the apartment and announces that he is home. 
          Rita is drying her hair.  Norman kisses her.  Rita says, "You
          wrecked my hair and you wrecked my nails."  Norman says, "Well,
          hurry up.  We have to be there in fifteen minutes.  But I'm in
          no hurry.  I'm going to leave here in about 10 seconds. 
          Starting right now.  10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1."  He opens
          the door and invites Betty in.  She removes her scarf and comes
          in.  She brings word that the dinner is off.  They talk only
          very briefly and Betty leaves.

Scene 2:  Peyton has changed his mind about dining with Norman and Rita. 
          He is talking with Hannah.  She asks Peyton why he decided to
          dine alone tonight.  Hannah asks Peyton why he chooses this
          moment to be so silent.  He says he has no reason to discuss it
          with her.

Scene 3:  At the Colonial Post Inn, Leslie asks Francis if she has a
          table for one.  Norman and Rita show up and Norman says,
          "Correction, make that three."  Norman explains that Peyton
          cancelled on them at the last moment.  Robert walks up and
          tells Leslie that he has a phone call at the desk.  Leslie
          takes the call and then returns to cancel out with Norman and
          Rita.  He apologizes and tells them to have dinner on him, to
          sign his name to the check.  He may be able to join them later. 
          Leslie rushes out of the Inn to a waiting Peyton Place Taxi
          Service cab and tells the driver, "Take me to the Peyton
          house."  He opens the door and gets in the back seat of the
          taxi.  They drive off.

Scene 4:  Dr. Rossi shows up at the Carson house and tells Constance that
          he had come to see Allison.  He tells Constance that Stella was
          released on bail.  He had furnished it as a goodby gesture. 
          Michael admits that he really came by to talk to her.  Constance
          says that it has been a long trial for him too.  He says he needed
          someone to talk to.  She observes that he cared a great deal for
          Stella.  Constance says that Stella had fooled a lot of people. 
          Michael says, "Stella is the latest chapter in a long line for me. 
          If there is a girl with a past, or a problem I will find her." 
          Constance says that he pointed her in the right direction. 
          Constance serves the coffee to Dr. Rossi. 

Scene 5:  Elliot and Eli are in the Clarion office. 

                STELLA CHERNAK REPUDIATES TESTIMONY.

          In the Clarion, Eli is critiquing Elliot's editorial.  Eli
          reads:

                "Our ostrich-like District Attorney"

                "Why did Fowler offer miss Chernak as a witness
                for the people?  Why did he, therefore, cause the
                trial to extend for months consuming thousands of
                dollars, expanding an incalculable amount of
                emotion.  Does the District Attorney wish us, his
                electorate, to believe he was manipulated by miss
                Chernak?  Does Fowler ask us to believe that he,
                a professional, was unable to judge miss Chernak's
                original statements, and put them in their proper
                context of family devotion and family anger?"

          Eli tells Elliot, "Kicking a dead horse won't bring it back to
          life, or its senses either."  Elliot says, "Fowler has too many
          strikes against him, to let him come up to bat again."

Scene 6:  The fireplace in the Anderson house.  Betty comes in slamming the
          door, and tells her mother that she is having a two-year-old
          temper tantrum.  Julie encourages Betty to go on the date with
          Steven.  Betty asks Julie to tell Steven when he arrives, that
          she is sick.  Betty says that she is waiting for Rodney to call. 
         
          The door chimes ring and Julie admits Steven.  She congratulates
          Steven on his court victory and goes upstairs leaving him alone
          with Betty.  Steven invites Betty for french champagne and other
          treats.  Betty is still angry.  She says that she had a bad day.   
          Steven says, "Betty, I won."  Steven tells her to go back upstairs,
          put on something nice, and he will be back in 15 minutes.  Steven
          kisses Betty.  He tells her again to go change, and leaves.

Scene 7.  Leslie is in the mansion talking with Peyton.  Peyton says that
          Leslie is greedy. Peyton says that Rodney is not used to running
          away.  He tells Leslie to play his hand or fold.  Leslie says,
          "I'll have to run the mill my way, to have a free hand."  Leslis
          says it will be difficult to explain it to Rodney.  Peyton says,
          "You'll find the words, Leslie.  You always have."

Scene 8.  Steven has returned.  Julie has gone to the movies.  Steven tells
          Betty that she is beautiful.  Steven and Betty drink.  Steven asks
          her if she would like to dance.  He turns on the radio, and tunes
          it.  They dance.  She asks him where he goes from here.  He says,
          "up."  She asks him what he wants.  Steven says, "To be king of
          the mountain.  Peyton Place first.  Then the County.  Western
          hemisphere.  Then the World.  And then you."  Betty says, "I'd
          love the Taj Mahal."  Steven proposes marriage to Betty.

          Betty tells Julie that Steven has proposed.  Schuster is ousted
          from the mill.

WA:       Rodney Harrington has been released from jail.  Now he faces
          another problem, the problem of being Martin Peyton's grandson.

Intro:    Rodney walks up to the door of the mansion, and knocks.

Scene 1:  Peyton himself opwns the door and Rodney goes in.  He comments
          that he is going from one cell to another.  Martin asks Rodney
          when he is moving in.  Peyton says that today would be fine. 
          Rodney says Martin trapped Leslie.  Rodney resents being trapped
          by obligation to his father.  Peyton suggests that Rodney go
          back to college.  Peyton says he wants Rodney exposed to family
          pride and power.  Rodney says he will live his own life and
          won't go back to school.  Rodney says that he will be his own
          man.  Peyton says, "Agreed, Rodney."  Rodney starts to leave.

          Betty appears and asks Rodney if he is coming back.  She
          reminds Rodney that he always valued his independence.  Rodney
          asks what she wants of him.

          Peyton comes over and tells her to back off.

Scene 2:  Martin Peyton telephones Schuster and asks if he has time to
          see him.  Schuster says that he does. 

          At the mill, Schuster discusses the situation with Julie.  He
          says Peyton is coming over to fire him.  He tells her he will
          resign.  Schuster refers to Peyton as the high command." 
          Mr. Schuster complains to Julie about the job he was forced to
          do at the mill with his hands tied behind his back.  Schuster is
          being ousted by Leslie so Martin can start a new manipulation
          plan but he doesn't seem to mind.  Schuster decides to dictate a
          letter-of-resignation to get the jump on Peyton.  It is
          Schuster's intention to return to New York.

Scene 3:  Constance and Allison go shopping at Les Femmes, next door to
          the Book Gallery, for maternity clothes.  Miss Byrd, the new
          saleslady, introduces herself.  She assumes the clothes are for
          Allison.  Constance tries on a maternity suit with the skirt
          backwards.  They laugh.  Constance rotates the skirt.

Scene 4:  Leslie is helping Rodney check out of the Colonial Post inn. 
          Leslie asks why Rodney didn't wait till after dinner to move. 
          Rodney tells Leslie he's moving in as a peace offering between
          his father and grandfather.  Schuster walks in and
          congratulates Rodney on being cleared.  Rodney apologizes for
          having Schuster's daughter being dragged in as a witness. 
          Schuster says that's okay he is just glad it is over.  Schuster
          belittles Leslie for allowing himself to be manipulated. 
          Schuster asks Rodney if he would like to move to New York.  He
          offers to help Rodney find a job to escape the manipulation. 
          He says there is no love, just strangulation, in the Peyton
          Family and that Rodney should escape.  Rod says he can't he
          owes his grandfather and father.

Scene 5:  John Fowler comes in the Clarion and thanks Elliot for not
          attending Marian's hearing.  Elliot comments that Marian did
          not receive a long enough time for running over Allison.  She
          received only a year's probation.  Elliot's editorial in the
          Clarion demanded John Fowler's resignation.  John says he will
          not be railroaded.  John says his term is up in two months and
          he hasn't decided if he will run for re-election.  John says he
          hopes Elliot takes a good look at himself like he had to take a
          good look himself, too.

Scene 6:  Elliot comes home and Allison says she heard about Marian's
          trial which was today.  Allison says that Marian has been
          punished enough.  She says Elliot shouldn't assassinate Marian
          the way he did John Fowler.  Constance comes in and shows off
          her maternity clothes.  Elliot turns and tells Allison she can
          write the editorial herself if she wants.

Scene 7:  Betty tells her mother Julie that Steven has proposed.  Betty
          speaks well of Steven, she's fond of him she says, but does not
          say she loves him.  Betty doesn't seem to trust the word "love"
          because of what happened between her and Rodney.  Julie
          congratulates Betty.  Betty says she will learn to love Steven. 
          Betty says, "I will learn."

          Leslie where he got his drink.  Eli gets a drink.  Miss Devon
          tells Rev. Bedford that Betty should have never worn white. 
          Bedford says that Betty is trying to make a new start.  He gets
          miss Devon a cup of coffee.  Leslie warns Julie that Betty will
          be getting a difficult father in law.  Norman and Eli are
          drinking together.  Steven and Betty cuts the cake.  Eli gives
          a toast and goes around filling glasses.  Rodney says Betty's
          wedding dress puts the past behind them.  Eli appears to be
          becoming sobriety challenged. 

          Theodore Dowell tells Leslie that Leslie will be working with
          Steven because of the job Steven has been offered.  Dowell is
          leaving town.  Dowell says that Peyton has just told him he is
          out.  Betty appears at the landing of the stairs and tosses the
          bouquet.  Allison catches it.  Steven thanks his mother for the
          wedding.  He tells her that she should have been a ringmaster
          for Barnum and Bailey instead of Martin Peyton.  The party

Scene 3:  Betty and Steven look at their new house before heading off on
          their honeymoon.  Steven promises Betty she can furnish the
          house any way she wants.  Betty says that she wonders why

          the livingroom.

Scene 4:  Hannah comes in the livingroom of the mansion.  Martin remarks
          that Betty is a beautiful girl and proper possesion for Steven. 
          Martin allows that Steven is in a race.  Hannah says there is
          no race because eventually Rodney will get everything.  Betty
          and Allison are compared:  Allison has no drive but Betty does. 
          Peyton tells Hannah that Allison could never provide what Betty
          will be able to.  Hannah says, "Don't let Betty's past, blind
          you to her virtues.  She has drive and ambition."  Peyton says,
          "What Rodney will never find in Allison."

          Therapist, Ann Howard arrives at Doctors Hospital.
             
WA:       For the newlyweds, Betty and Steven Cord, the honeymoon is
          ending.  The last few days have been predictably perfect and
          they look forward to the same perfection at home in Peyton
          Place.  But there, they will have to work for it.

Intro:    Stream.  Scenes around the city.  Hotel that looks like the
          longbranch.

Scene 1:  Betty and Steven are in their hotel room.  They kiss.  Betty
          wants to talk about decorating.  Steven tells Betty that he
          doesn't want her to continue working for Martin.  He says he
          watched his mother "bow and scrape" to him all his life.  And
          he will not watch his wife do the same thing.  Steven, "the
          Neanderthal," tells Betty to take up basket weaving and
          choosing wall colors instead.  Betty points out that Steven
          doesn't want her to work there because her Rodney lives there. 
          Betty soothes her jealous husband with a big smooch.

Scene 2:  [Humorously]  Norman is in front of the General Store lugging
          boxes as Ann Howard walks up and opens the door for him. 
          Norman thanks her.  She slithers across the town square and
          climbs upon the bandstand as Dr. Rossi drives up in his hard
          top convertible.  He is about to approach her when Rita walks
          up and says that Ann is pretty. She asks Rossi about his little
          black book.  He tells her all the names are crossed off.  She
          tells him that Ann had breakfast at the Peyton Place Pharmacy. 
          She tells Dr. Rossi that Ann takes her coffee with cream and no
          sugar and likes powdered sugar on her donuts.  [If you watch
          closely as Ann descends the steps of the bandstand, you can see
          that the Peyton Professional building is three stories.]

Scene 3:  Rita looks at the Grand Opening sign and goes in the General
          Store.  She talks with Norman about his going to college.  She
          looks to Eli for support but gets none.  Eli encourages Rita
          to keep nagging at him to stay in school.

Scene 4:  Ann Howard goes in the Book Gallery to look at the books and to
          talk with Constance.  Constance asks Ann if she has been in
          Peyton Place before.  Ann doesn't answer at first, then she
          asks if Constance has a street map of Peyton Place.  Instead of
          going over to the map rack, as a good salesman should, Constance
          tells Ann where to look for it.  Only then does Ann admit that
          she has been in Peyton Place previously.

Scene 5:  Rodney drives Allison over to the Shoreline Garage and proudly
          shows her his new business and introduces her to his mechanic,
          Lee Webber.  Rodney says he would have never bought the garage
          if Lee hadn't come with it, and Lee replies that he should have
          asked for a raise.  Rodney looks uncomfortable as he moans that
          he already has labor problems.  Rodney announces that the
          garage is their future and Allison looks doubtful.  Allison
          asks why Rodney bought the garage and he states that he needs
          to face the people who think he intentionally killed Joe
          Chernak.  Allison tells Rodney that is a weird reason to buy a
          garage.  Lee returns and announces, "Hey Rod, you're down a
          quart of oil."  Rodney replies, "Lets put it in later."

Scene 6:  Ann Howard is talking to a young girl in the physical therapy
          room as Dr. Rossi walks in.  The new physical therapist is Ann
          Howard and the girl is named Nancy.  Ann appears uncomfortable
          as Dr. Rossi talks to Nancy about her arithmetic.  Ann turns to
          Dr. Rossi and introduces herself.  Rossi says he had received a
          memo about her arrival.  Ann says that she heard he was very
          popular with the ladies, referring to the girls in the therapy
          room.  Rossi tells Ann that he and Nancy are going steady. 

          Ann relates that she had orientation from Nursing director
          Esther Choate the previous day and that this is her first real
          day on the job.  Ann compliments Rossi on his new hematology
          research lab.  He explains to Nancy what hematology is.  Ann
          goes over to work with another young girl, Jessica. 

          Rossi tells Ann that he noticed her on the bluff the other
          night.  Ann is reluctant to admit that she was there.  Even
          though Rossi is used to patients lying to him, he is confused
          by this obvious lie from a new co-worker. 

          Ann tells the doctor that she has been studying the records
          that Russ Gehring left behind when he was forced to resign. 
          Rossi says that he likes her technique.  Ann says that she is
          happy to be there because she has always wanted to work with
          children.  Rossi turns to talk with the other children as the
          scene and episode end. Dialog

          End of the Honeymoon for Betty and Steven.
             
WA:       Betty and Steven Cord have returned from their honeymoon to
          begin a life together in Peyton Place.  A life that will be
          greatly changed, yet not entirely.  For over Steven's protests,
          Betty has insisted on continuing working for Martin Peyton in
          the house that Mr. Peyton shares with his grandson, Rodney
          Harrington, Betty's ex-husband, and his housekeeper, Steven's
          mother, Hannah Cord.

Intro:    Betty and Steven drive up to the mansion and Steven rings the
          chimes.

Scene 1:  Hannah Cord greets Steven and Betty in the entry of the
          mansion.  Hannah tells Steven that a young woman called
          but didn't leave a message.  [Hannah doesn't realize that it
          was her own ersatz daughter.]  Rodney comes in and Steven
          congratulates him on acquiring the Shoreline Garage.  Rodney
          mentions to Steven that he will not be working there alone. 
          The garage came with mechanic Lee Webber.  Steven looks rather
          surprised and says that he knew Lee Webber when they were
          children.

Scene 2:  At the hospital, Constance tells Dr. Rossi that she is worried
          about Allison.  Ann is on the playground, wistfully watching
          the wee ones play.  Dr. Rossi saunters over and asks Ann out on
          a date.  She accepts but mentions she has an appointment.

Scene 3:  Allison shows up at the garage and finds Rodney under a car
          inspecting a transmission.  [Even Klick and Klack don't work on
          automatic transmissions.]  He shouts out to Lee that it needs
          replacing.  Lee looks it over and says it will be fine.  Rodney
          tells Lee to finish the job he is on, and then he goes in the
          back room to eat lunch with Allison.  Elliot drives up to the
          pumps to get some gas.  Lee Webber cops an attitude.  Elliot
          asks where Rodney would be and Lee comments that "the boss is
          lunching with a cute kid."  Elliot looks turned off.  Rodney
          comes out and offers Elliot a free lube job.  Allison gets in
          the car with her father and they leave together.  Rodney gives
          Lee the third degree about why he deliberately annoyed Elliot,
          Allison's father.  Lee snidely asks how he should know that
          they were father and daughter being that their last names are
          different.  [Lee comes across to your reviewer as the kind of
          mechanic who would leave fresh ashes in the previously clean
          ash tray, grease on the seats, tunes the radio to the wrong
          station, and smudges the rear view mirror.]

Scene 4:  Leslie enters the General Store and asks Eli to encourage
          Norman to attend college.  Eli ruminates over this as Elliot
          enters.  Elliot, Eli, and Leslie talk about Lee's bad attitude. 
          Leslie comments that Lee is an excellent mechanic and Rodney
          had better keep him because he doesn't yet know the business.

Scene 5:  Ann Howard enters Steven's office as he is chatting on the
          phone with Betty.  Steven comments on Ann's entrance and Betty
          displays a little jealousy.  Ann identifies herself as "the
          accused girl on the bluff, Sailors' Bluff."  They discuss the
          Chris Webber incident.  Ann states bluntly that she came to
          Peyton Place to clear her name, and that she firmly believes
          she did not push him.  Steven says it might well be impossible
          to learn what really happened 17 years ago.  Ann says that she
          must find out the truth even if she finds out she really did
          it, because the doubts are harder to live with than knowing the
          truth.  Ann wanders over to the square near the Pillory

          Allison questions her future with Rodney.
             
WA:       Seventeen years ago, Ann Howard was held responsible for a
          tragic accident, the blinding of another child.  Last night,
          she felt compelled to return to the scene of the accident, the
          bluff outside Michael Rossi's beach house.

Intro:    The wharf.  Dr. Rossi and Ann drive by the Shoreline Garage and
          Joe's Boat Repair.  They park and get out to go in the Cider
          Barrel.

Scene 1:  Charlie is at the front counter of the Cider Barrel Cafe on the
          wharf as Dr. Rossi and Ann come in to eat breakfast and talk. 
          Rossi orders two longshoremen's breakfasts.  They
          recall the previous evening when Ann missed dinner because she
          had passed out after Rossi gave her a tranquilizer.  Ann
          rambles on concerning her desire to find the truth about the
          incident at the bluff.  She tells him that she went to see
          Steven, but he turned her down.  Rossi warns her that her job
          as a therapist at Doctors Hospital could be threatened if her
          true reasons for coming back to town are revealed.  It has
          never been easy to keep secrets in Peyton Place.  Rossi says,
          "You know you can't keep a secret like that in a town like
          Peyton Place."  This disturbs her and she rushes out without
          eating her breakfast.

Scene 2:  Steven Cord drives over to the Shoreline Garage to talk with
          Lee Webber.  Steven begins making friendly overtures, reminding
          Lee how he liked to play with the Webber brothers and their
          friends.  He says he always wanted to be like Lee.  Lee doesn't
          buy this line and Steven gets back to the point inquiring about
          Chris.  Lee says that even after three operations Chris will
          always be blind.  But he will never be found on the town square
          selling pencils from a tin cup.  He won't become a charity case
          because Lee paid his full tuition for college.  Steven opines
          that if Lee hadn't paid Chris' way through college he could
          have owned the Shoreline Garage.  Lee sarcastically thanks
          Steven for getting his boss off the murder rap because now he
          has the pleasure and opportunity of working for Rodney.  The
          conversation ends on guarded terms and Lee is justifiably
          suspicious.

Scene 3:  In the Carson kitchen, Allison complains to her mother that her
          coldness (frigidity) might endanger her relationship with
          Rodney.  Allison tells her mother about the incident at the
          Shoreline when Rodney danced with Sandy Webber.  Allison says
          that confident girls like Sandy are a threat to her
          relationship with Rodney. 

Scene 4:  Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Hannah, who is pecking on the
          typewriter, begins to interrogate Betty on the motives for
          Betty going back to work.  She should be home, catering to her
          new husband's every need.  Hannah cryptically [inferentially]
          warns Betty that the town will gossip about her working in the
          same house [under the same roof] where her ex-husband, Rodney,
          lives.

Scene 5:  Rodney is sipping coffee at the Cider Barrel as Sandy drops in. 
          Charlie complains about Sandy quitting her job as waitress,
          twice.  Her clientele leaves, she asks for her job back, and
          the clientele return.  He is becoming tired of playing "ring
          around the counter, all over again."  Sandy begins to flirt
          with Rodney but he tells her to back off because she is
          Lee's wife.  Sandy picks up a rag and resumes her work at the
          Cider Barrel.  She has been out of town, she explains, but now
          she's back.

Scene 6:  Rodney returns to the Shoreline Garage and finds Lee tightening
          lug nuts.  Lee warns Rodney to stay away from his sweet, tender
          wife.  However, he does take the opportunity to goad Rodney by
          pointing out how beautiful Sandy is.  He tells a story about
          how he said "no" to Sandy when some fraternity boys wanted to
          make her Queen of the Dance or something.  She cried
          every night for about a week and he felt so guilty that he went
          out and found a college boy to pick a fight with.  Sandy hasn't
          had much of a life.  Lee says he's more patient now, but he is
          really warning Rodney that he better "look but don't touch "his
          sweet, tender wife."

Scene 7:  In the therapy room of Doctors Hospital, Ann is teaching a
          little girl to bend her fingers while playing the piano.  The
          little girl asks when her mother will be there.  Ann tells her
          in about an hour.  Steven Cord walks in and tells Ann that he
          will help her find out who really pushed Chris.  He admits that
          he went along with the rest of the kids seventeen years ago and
          accused her of pushing Chris off the bluff.  Ann was an easy
          mark because she was hysterical.  He says that he owes it to
          her to help.  Steven warns her that he might wind up proving
          that Ann really did the evil deed after all.  Ann walks back
          over to the upright piano, sits, and hugs the little girl who
          is tickling the ivories.

          Rita tells of her illness and her pregnancy.

WA:       Ann Howard is new to the staff at Doctors Hospital.  But she is
          not new to Peyton Place.  It's been 17 years since she was last

          reason to remember her well.

Intro:    Ann Howard walks past the Lobster shack toward the courthouse.

Scene 1:  Hannah is telling Martin about the return of Ann Howard. 
          Hannah says that she has become a lovely young woman.  Hannah
          tells him that Ann is now a physical therapist.  Martin
          comments it is only fitting that Ann would want to put people
          back together.  Hannah asks why she came back.  Peyton says the
          last thing they want to do is to put Steven on edge.  All they
          can do is wait and see what happens.

Scene 2:  In their new home, given them as a wedding present by Hannah,
          Steven recounts the incident to Betty.  Ann was only eleven. 
          Betty asks why he is telling her about the incident.  He feels
          guilty for going along with the children in blaming Ann.  He
          says it's a human problem, not a legal problem.  Steven is
          intrigued by the whole thing.

Scene 3:  Dr. Rossi and Ann Howard are walking on the wharf and encounter
          Rita.  He tells Ann that Rita is the girl who straightened out
          Norman.  Rita says that the whole town is looking for a girl
          for Dr. Rossi.  She is pleased to see the two of them together. 
          Rita says that she must go before she puts her other foot in
          her mouth.  Rossi tells Ann how Rita and Norman met and
          married.  He says that this is not the Hans Christian Anderson
          version.  This is the Grimm version.

Scene 4:  An upset Rita is and chatting with her mother in the living
          area back of the Tavern.  Rita informs her mother that she
          is pregnant.  Rita is distressed and talks about Norman's
          pride and his unwillingness to accept money from his father. 
          Rita bemoans her sad fate.  Rita agrees to see Dr. Rossi
          the following day.  [Back in those days, the typical wait to
          see the doctor was ten or twenty minutes.]

          Norman bursts in with flowers and announces that he wants to
          be fed.  Ada says she will cook and ushers Rita and Norman
          into the other room.

AJ:  And I'll take care of you for the next couple of years.
RJ:  It won't work.  You just don't know Norman.

RJ:  I want to have Norman's baby.  Some day.  Not now.
RJ:  I took a big chance marrying Norman.
RJ:  I thought if I could make him go to college, ...
RJ:  If I could just stay out of his way and make him happy.
RJ:  I never thought this would happen.

RJ:  If we have this baby, it will be too much for him.
RF:  He won't take help from his father, or you.

She sniffs.

NH:  I picked them myself.
NH:  This is a bribe.
NH:  Would it be too late for xxx to show Mrs. Harrington how to
     cook something besides hash?
NH:  There is a runmor around town that you can cook so well that
     all the gourmets of Europe will stop by this modest little
     tavern for a little morsel from the xxx from your charming
     little daughter.

Norman frowns.

Scene 5:  In the Shoreline Garage, Rodney is under the steering column of
          an old Chevrolet going through the motions of being a mechanic. 
          Sandy Webber comes in and begins doing a number on him.  She
          asks if Lee is around.  Rodney politely says no.  She sits on
          the front seat beside him.  She asks why he bought the place
          and inquires why he hasn't fired Lee yet.  Rodney asks, "Why
          should I?"  Sandy continues that Lee is no gentleman and that
          Rodney doesn't even seem to care.  Rodney calls her "Mrs. Webber"
          and says that a gentleman would always call her "Mrs. Webber." 
          Sandy mentions Chris and compares him to Rodney because they
          have both suffered.  Rodney with his trial and Chris with his
          handicap.  Rodney says that there is no comparison because the
          blindness of Chris continues.  [This is the setup for the
          return of Chris.]  Rodney asks why she came back.  Sandy says
          she misses him.  Rodney says that Lee will be back soon.  Sandy
          says she was talking about Chris.  About then, Lee comes in
          looking jealous of their exchange.  He says, "Hello Mr.
          Harrington.  Hello Mrs. Webber.  He gives Sandy a big kiss
          right after he tells her to leave.  Lee was showing off to
          Rodney.  Rodney says, "Put this in there."
                                                         
Scene 6:  In the Chandlery, Elliot is looking at a preliminary ad for the
          new General Store with Eli as Ann Howard comes in.  Ann advises

          decorate the apartment at Mrs. Hewitt's.  As she leaves the
          store she runs into Betty and Hannah and a round of
          introductions are made.  This is very uncomfortable for the
          distressed Hannah Cord.  Hannah offers Ann a ride to the
          hospital. [One half block east.] The limo drives up outside
          Doctors Hospital and Betty and Hannah get out. 

Scene 7:  Ann goes in the Clarion and asks Elliot if the story of her
          "Return to Peyton Place" is big news.  Elliot comments that

          promise her his support.  He wishes "good luck" as she leaves.

          Dr. Morton has no choice.
             
WA:       Michael Rossi is determined to be of help to Ann Howard.  In
          doing so, he finds he must threaten the order and purpose her
          job as physical therapist at Doctors Hospital gives her. 
          Now, armed with the knowledge that an anonymous "poison pen"
          letter attacking her has been sent to the Clarion, he
          confronts Ann Howard, not knowing that this letter was
          written by Hannah Cord.

          tells her that she must tell Dr. Morton who she really is,
          today.

Scene 2:  In the mansion, Peyton is looking at the newspaper and Hannah
          asks if there is anything new.  Peyton says, "No.  Just the
          usual murders, wars, plagues, insurrections all over the
          world."  Hannah agonizes over the arrival of Ann Colby Howard
          in Peyton Place.  Peyton orders her not to do anything about
          it.  But Hannah already has.

Scene 3:  Ann Howard starts to telephone Dr. Morton from the therapy
          room, but changes her mind and hangs up the phone.

Scene 4:  Dr. Rossi goes into Dr. Morton's office and knocks.  Rossi
          comes in and confronts Morton in defense of Ann Howard.  Dr.
          Rossi wisely points out that people in small towns should
          find better things to do with their time.  All that some
          people are going to do is dredge up the past.  Rossi says
          that Ann is a highly qualified physical therapist.

Scene 5:  Norman and Rita go to the hospital to find out if Rita is
          pregnant.  Leslie walks over and tells Norman that he is
          there for his annual physical.  He lectures Norman, in his
          own way, about going to college.  Norman tells Leslie that
          Rita is visiting Sally Bates, a friend from school.

Scene 6:  Rita and Dr. Rossi chat about the possibility of her being

          time.

Scene 7:  Rodney returns a motorcycle up to the Shoreline Garage, and
          is greeted by Mooney, the owner of the bike who has been
          waiting.  Rodney asks for $16.00.  Mooney says he wants to
          check it first.  He says he will be right back and rides off. 
          Allison walks up and begins to talk with Rodney.  She brought
          him lunch.  He asks how Constance is.  Allison says that
          everyting has changed between them.  She laments that "If
          they can't be close they can't be anything at all."  Mooney
          comes back and pays Rodney the $16.00.  He says that if it
          starts missing again he will be back.

Scene 8:  Eli enters the Clarion and finds Elliot typing away like
          Clark Kent at the Daily Planet.  He tells Elliot that he was
          given $40.00 for a rocking chair.  He expounds on the origins
          and evolution of rocking chairs to Elliot.  [He should have
          saved this treat for Paul Hanley who expressed a keen
          interest in rocking chairs in episode 49.]  They talk about
          the incident at the bluff and Eli says he felt partially
          responsible because the children played on the bluff out of
          curiosity over Elizabeth Carson's death in the cottage.

Scene 9:  At the Shoreline Garage, Lee and Steven rehash the incident
          at Sailors' bluff 17 years ago.  Lee is evasive when Steven
          recalls not being sure if Ann Howard had actually pushed
          Chris.  Sandy is in the background listening.  Steven
          questions Lee about his brother's early years.  Was he a
          clumsy child?  Did the other kids pick on him?  Steven calls
          Sandy "The President of my brother's fan club."  Steven
          leaves. 

          Sandy says, "You really spread it on with a shovel."  Lee
          gets edgy after Steven leaves.  Sandy wants to know why Lee
          decided to hide Chris away in Boston at the law school.  Lee
          gets upset and lifts his hand to slap Sandy.  Rodney
          intercedes, grabbing Lee's wrist.  Lee says, "You sure do
          know how to get involved in other people's business.

          Dr. Rossi gives Rita an ultimatum.

WA:       The world of Martin Peyton and Hannah Cord has been isolated
          and secure for many years.  Now, that world appears to be

Scene 2:  Peyton goes in the Shoreline Garage to talk with Rodney. 
          Peyton tells Rodney, "Get up out of there and show me around
          this grease pit."  Peyton tells Rodney that he envies him for
          the time he has left to live.  Peyton asks Rodney how he is
          doing.  Rodney tells Peyton that his margin of profit is
          about 30 percent.  Peyton tells Rodney that it appears that
          he has too much of his money tied up in inventory.  Rodney
          says that he bought the inventory at 50 percent of wholesale
          cost.  Martin leaves and returns to the limousine.  Hannah
          observes that he looks pleased.  He tells Hannah to call
          Attorney Wainwright in Boston.  He wants him down there that
          afternoon.  Hannah insists on knowing what Peyton plans to
          do.  He doesn't respond but tells Thomas to drive them home.

Scene 3:  Norman walks over to Rita in the reception area of the
          hospital.  Dr. Rossi walks up and invites them into his
          office.  Rossi tells them that Rita is not going to
          have a baby.  Rita says that she is confused.  Rossi tells
          Norman to sit down.  Rossi lectures.  Rossi says that Rita is
          run down.  She is undernourished.  Rossi gives her a
          container vitamins.  He gives her a menu.  Miss Choate comes
          over and gives him a note from Ann Howard.  Rossi asks if she
          has heard from Dr. O'Brien on Rita's x-rays.  Miss Choate is
          paged for extension 23.  Norman tells Rita that it is not the
          end of the world.

Scene 5:  Hannah comes down the stairs and tells Betty that she will
          bet the door.  She opens the front door of the mansion and
          greets Boston attorney Wainwright.  [This is the eldest
          Wainwright who looks somewhat like "Dr. Death."]  Hannah
          takes Wainwright's hat and escorts him upstairs toward
          Peyton's sitting room. 

Scene 6:  William John Wainwright [seventyish] knocks on Peyton's door
          and is invited to come in.  He tells Peyton he is glad to see
          him.  Peyton tells Wainwright to sit down.  Peyton does not
          use the name William or John.  He says that he wants
          a new will.  Peyton says that he wants no possibility of a
          raid on his estate.  Peyton tells Wainwright that Ann Colby
          is back.  Peyton tells Wainwright that he is blameless and
          rich.  Peyton says, "It's got to be possible."

Scene 7:  Betty goes in the livingroom of the mansion and when Hannah
          returns, Betty tells her that she is going home early.

          has Steven's best interest at heart. 

Scene 8:  Steven comes in the livingroom of their new home and gives a
          bouquet to Betty.  Steven says that he is taking her out to
          dinner.  They sip some champagne together.  Betty tells
          Steven that Peyton was with Wainwright a little while that
          evening.  He came to discuss Peyton's will.  She thinks that
          the change will hurt Steven.  Steven says that it won't be
          easy but it has to be done.  I have to know.  Steven observes
          that Rodney is living in the mansion.  Betty asks Steven what
          he really wants.  Steven says "acknowledgement."  Betty says,
          "Yes, it has to be done."  Steven hugs Betty.
