Elliot Carson and Leslie Harrington have met, at long last, and must confront each other. Intro: Outside of the Peyton Place Town Hall and Police Station. Written by Rita Lakin and Peggy Shaw Directed by Ted Post Scene 1: In the interrogation room, Leslie tells Elliot that it was very decent of Elliot to track him down in Europe. Elliot responds that someone had to do it. Leslie says that Elliot is looking healthy and trim. Elliot says that men grow with responsibility. Leslie tells Elliot that he read Elliot's letter-to-the editor. He says that the sense of power makes a man grow. Elliot says he has influence, but no power. Elliot suggests accusingly that Leslie would like for him to run editorials critical of John Fowler and the District Attorney's office. Scene 2: Elliot walks out of the police station toward the Book Gallery. He walks past the pillory. A car speeds past. Elliot looks both ways and crosses the street.
