PEYTON PLACE Episode 186. 02-24-66 The jury visits the wharf where Joe Chernak died.

Intro: Stella is walking along observing the jury. She stops in front of the tavern, and Ada comes out and stands by her. Scene 1: The jury is visiting the wharf. They ask a few questions then board the school bus waiting to take them back to the courthouse. [In some states, but certainly not all, jurors are permitted to ask questions]. Stella talks to Ada. She says, "No matter how you add it up, Rodney killed my brother." Scene 2: Steven leaves Rodney and enters Ada's. Stella, already there, comes over and begins talking to Steven. She begins to talk about the jury. Steven tries to ignore her. She continues to annoy him. He asks if she ever looked into the laws regarding perjury. Scene 3: With cheery Christmas-like music in the background, Betty goes into the Pharmacy to see Rita. Betty congratulates Rita. The pharmacist, Mr. Courtney, comes over. Norman comes in and kisses Rita. Betty greets Norman as "Rita's husband." As Betty leaves, she runs into Rodney. Betty does an imitation of Martin Peyton. Scene 4: Steven, talking on the phone, looks out of his law office window and sees Rodney talking with Betty. Scene 5: Eli comes into the hospital and greets Dr. Rossi. Rossi is wearing a suit, who gives him the terrific news that Allison is walking again. Eli says that is wonderful. Rossi tells him that the argument between Elliot and Russ Gehring caused Allison to get up. Scene 6: Eli knocks and goes in to see Allison who is painting again with her right hand. He says he is not going to bring her another thing-a-ma-jig. Eli says he can't be good old Eli Carson, Allison's friend anymore. He is Elliot's father. He tells her how much he enjoys being her grandfather. She says they can still be friends. Scene 7: Marian comes into the hospital to see Allison and apoligize to her, but runs into Russ Gehring [her amant, or amante]. Allison walks up and asks if she is Mrs. Fowler. Marian asks to talk with Allison. Marian goes in Allison's room, and asks for her forgiveness. Allison asks Marian if she had been coming from somewhere else, she would have stopped to help. Marian says she doesn't know. Scene 8: Allison comes out of Treatment Room 3 and talks briefly with Dr. Rossi. Rossi talks to Allison about her anger at Marian, Rodney, Elliot, Constance, and at him. Rossi wants her to face her anger and get well. Scene 9: Steven closes his briefcast puts on his coat. Leslie comes in and they talk about Detective Lawrence. Steven hopes Lawrence finds Jensen in time. Leslie is angry with Steven. Steven says he has an appointment. Scene 10: In the Clarion office, Elliot tells Jerry, the composer, to remake page three. Jerry says, "We've already ... You're the boss." Steven asks Elliot to bring Allison to court the next day. Elliot doesn't think he should. Elliot doesn't want to risk Allison's health. Steven says Rodney needs her help. Steven leaves. Elliot tells Jerry again to remake page three. Scene 11: Constance goes in to see Allison in her hospital room. Constance tells her not to continue sleeping or she will be up all night. That sleeping is a form of escape. Constance talks about watching Allison grow up. She has always been proud of Allison.

Allison says she will be an intruder, that her mother and father will finally have a legitimate child. Preview: Stella talks to Rossi. Elliot talks with Constance. Betty talks to Martin Peyton. SC: It sounds like a professional brush-off, doctor. The medical equivalent of Siberia. MR: ... EC: She had a father, a real one. Not a cardboard one. Why didn't you let her have it. CM: You are blaming me. BA: You promised to stay out of the courtroom. MP: Unlike human beings, promises are made to be broken. BA: Mr. Peyton, don't cheat the clock at Rod's expense. Judge Irwin A. Jessup-Curt Conway. Ralph Courtney, the new pharmacist-uncredited. PREV HOME NEXT
