WA: For a newly married Rod and Betty Harrington, the future is, at best, uncertain. But for the moment to Allison Mackenzie, there will seem to be no future. Only a sense of what might have been. Intro: Rodney and Betty drive back to Peyton Place and park on the east end of the square near the Pillory in front of the bank building. Written by Theodore and Mathilde Getto Directed by Walter Doniger Scene 1: In Rodney's convertible, Rodney and Betty talk and plan for the future. They talk about the reaction that their parents will have. He says he will be in the drug store (Calvin Hanley's Peyton Place Pharmacy). Scene 2: Dr. Rossi stops outside the Book Gallery and stoops to read a newspaper laying on the sidewalk. Constance and Allison walk up and the three go in the Book Gallery. Rossi tells them that he delivered his first set of twins, to Madilyn Thayer and husband. Constance offers Rossi coffee and sends Allison to the Inn for a dozen blueberry muffins. Scene 3: Allison goes over and talks to Betty, who is waiting in the convertible. Allison apologizes for not visiting Betty in the hospital. Betty tells her that she and Rodney went to White River the previous night and got married. Allison is visibly upset. Rodney comes back from the Peyton Pharmacy and speaks to Allison. Allison continues on to the Inn. He asks Betty what she told Allison. Rodney is annoyed that Betty told Allison about their marriage. Betty says, "We are married." Scene 4: Allison returns to the Book Gallery with the muffins and announces that Rodney and Betty are married. She only got a half dozen blueberry muffins. Allison says that Constance doesn't need her so she is going fishing. She leaves. Dr. Rossi and Constance argue. Rossi says, " what about your rod?" [Dorothy Malone reportedly complained that the script didn't allow her to argue and scream enough. She said she was tired of saying, "Yes, Allison", and "No, Allison." The writers complied with her request.] Scene 5: Betty comes home and hugs her father. Betty apologizes for not telling her mother they were eloping. Julie greets Rodney. George asks how the trip was. Rodney apologizes for not telling anyone sooner. Julie and Betty go upstairs. George has a rather strained conversation with Rodney. Scene 6: Upstairs, Betty and her mother talk in private. Betty confides to Julie that she didn't tell Rodney she had lost the baby following the accident. Betty tells Julie that she is worried about Leslie's reaction. Scene 7: At the Peyton Place playground, Allison is in sitting in a swing as Norman Harrington walks up. She asked where he had looked before he found her. Norman calls Allison Cinderella. Allison says she doesn't want to be serious about anyone or anything right now. They walk and they talk. Scene 8: In the Harrington house, Leslie goes upstairs to the bedroom to talk with Catherine. He offers her a cup of hot coffee. Catherine says that her silver will some day belong to Betty Anderson. Leslis corrects her saying, "Betty Harrington." Catherine says that her head hurts. She says that she thinks she is being punished. He says, what for. She says, "You know what." Leslie says," We don't talk about that." They are referring of course to the murder of Elizabeth Hanley Carson. Scene 9: Betty and Rodney arrive at the Harrington mansion. Leslie shouts and comes down the main staircase to hug his son. Leslie insincerely says, "Betty, welcome to our home. Your home." Betty says, "Thank you, sir." He said Catherine wanted to come down but she isn't feeling well. Leslie sends Rodney for the champagne that he and Catherine brought back from France many years ago. Leslie talks to Betty.
