WA: Even though his fate is being weighed in a courtroom, tonight
Rodney Harrington finds he must come to Doctors Hospital to see
Allison Mackenzie. On the day of his arraignment Allison has
told Rodney she loved him. But now she no longer seems to
remember her feelings for him. Yet he cannot forget his
feelings for her.
Intro: Doctors Hospital. Rodney comes to visit Allison.
Scene 1: Rodney comes to the Information desk in the waiting room and
speaks to miss Choate. He asks to see Allison. She says it is
okay. Miss Choate tells Rodney that she is sure he didn't kill
Joe Chernak.
Scene 2: Inside Allison's room, Rodney finds Russ Gehring singing "Down
in the Valley." Gehring says he missed a guitar lesson that he
had already paid for. And that Allison is spoiled, bored, and
lonely. Gehring appears angry and leaves. Rodney talks with
Allison. She has forgotten a lot of the past.
Scene 3: As Rodney is leaving he sees John Fowler talking with miss
Choate. Fowler had wanted talk to Russ Gehring but he just
missed him. Miss Choate asks Fowler when Marian will return,
that they miss her. Rodney asks Fowler if he can speak to him.
He asks about the investigation of the hit-and-run of Allison.
Scene 4: At the Chernak house, Stella dumps some ice cubes in a bucket.
She writes a note, finds a pin, and attaches the note to the
front door [like a spider spinning a web]. Stella receives a
phone call D.A. from Fowler who instructs her not to listen to
the news or read the newspaper. He asks how things are going.
Rossi walks up and reads the note. "If it's worth dating,
it's worth waiting. Enter at your own risk." He goes on
in and calls for Stella. She asks if he found the note.
Stella comes in dressed to the IX's. They talk.
Scene 5: Steven comes to collect Betty at the Anderson house. She shows
Steven the subpoena she has just gotten. She had expected to
tesfify for the defense.
Scene 6: At the Italian Villa Restaurante, Rossi and Stella are drinking
wine and eating (refer to epi 168, 01-13-66). [Volare
is heard in the backbround]. The waiter brings some eel.
Stella tastes it before asking what it is. They have some more
wine. Stella asks Rossi if he had come from a large family.
He said they always had a big crowd around the dinner table.
He says he always wanted to practice in a small town. Stella
asks Rossi if he likes her. He replies that he does.
Scene 7: Steven and Betty arrive at the Italian Villa Restaurante, and
observe Dr. Rossi and Stella Chernak leaving. Stella wheedles
and invitation to go back to the beach house for coffee. Betty
becomes angry because Rossi was not only her friend but he was
Rodney's friend.
Scene 8: Rossi and Stella return to the beach house and elect to drink
some cognac instead of coffee. Stella observes that there
isn't too much of him in the house. Rossi tells her that the
beach house was furnished when he moved in. He helps her off
with her coat. Rossi lights a fire. He says that it is the
first one of the season. They talk at great length. Rossi was
within millimeters of kissing her. She asks why he didn't. He
says, another time and another place. He says that he can't
forget the trial and that Rodney is his friend and she is the
chief witness against him.

SC: Mike, once before I told you I was going to resign,
because you didn't trust me. This time it's because I
don't want anything to spoil what's good between us.
AM: Please, don't go now.
CM: But, I promised Elliot I'd have lunch with him today.
BA: Such a smug Dr. Righteous you are. When you decide
to take sides you really go.
