PEYTON PLACE Episode 213. 05-03-66 Rossi urges Ann to confess to Dr. Morton. WA: This morning, Betty Anderson and her new mother-in-law, Hannah Cord, went into town on a shopping expedition. For Betty it was routine. But for Mrs. Cord it brought a culmination of a lifelong fear. MEL: Dr. Rossi wants Ann Howard to admit that she knows she didn't push Chris Webber off Sailors Bluff 17 years ago. Elizabeth had been killed and Elliot was in prison at the time Chris was pushed. Intro: The limousine returns Betty and Hannah to the mansion. Scene 1: Betty and Hannah Cord return to the mansion after their shopping expedition. Betty goes upstairs. Hannah tells Martin that she saw Ann Howard. Hannah is wringing her gloved hands and Peyton tells her to get a grip. He says that they must sit tight and see what Ann will do. Peyton says, "Do as I say, leave things alone." Scene 2: At Doctors Hospital, Dr. Rossi warns Ann Howard about problems that lie ahead and that she really must tell Dr. Morton the reason she has returned to Peyton Place. Scene 3: Rita collapses in the Pharmacy. Norman carries her upstairs to the apartment. She tells him that she is okay. Scene 4: Betty is at home decorating and performing her other wifely duties. Steven arrives home and Betty complains that she looks a mess. Betty talks about how she thought she always had to look perfect for Rodney. Steven nuzzles her and says she always looks perfect. Scene 5: At the apartment, Rita finally confesses to Norman that she "thinks" she may be pregnant. Norman says that he will quit school. Rita counters that she would rather work instead. Rita wants Norman to take her mother's money and stay in college. Norman says he doesn't want to. Rita agrees to go see Dr. Rossi. Scene 6: Hannah Cord goes in the Peyton Professional building and slips an ominous note under the Clarion door. She has no intentions to follow Martin Peyton's advice or instructions. Scene 7: Rodney and Allison greet Elliot as he is going in the Clarion. They swap some trivial chit-chat about no good movies playing and where they had eaten. Elliot discovers the note that Hannah had left and looks grim as he reads it. Scene 8: Rodney and Allison go in the Cider Barrel and Allison informs him that she is ready to get married. Rodney says he wants to arrive first like Steven before he takes a wife. [Is the garage business an idea of a possible arrival?] Allison insists that she doesn't want to wait any longer to get married. Constance enters the diner, sits in another area, and orders a banana split. Rodney and Allison get up to leave and Constance tells them how happy she is to be "pigging-out" due to her pregnancy. Scene 9: Elliot drives out to the beach cottage to show Dr. Rossi the ominous note that Hannah Cord slipped under the door of the Clarion. It is a contrived note about how therapist Ann Howard is a threat to handicapped children because of the accident she purportedly caused seventeen years ago. Dr. Rossi partially defends the substance of the note, saying parents of handicapped children are often quite sensitive about their children's caregivers. Elliot and Rossi expect turmoil for Ann Howard when her story finally comes out. Preview: Allison talks to Rodney. Dr. Rossi talks to Dr. Morton. Lee talks with Sandy. AM: Everything has changed between us hasn't it? If we can't be close, then we can't be anything at all. Isn't that so? MR: As professional men, is it fair for us to condemn miss Howard for the rest of her life? Can we judge her, try her, sentence her? Can we? LW: Knock it off, Sandy. SW: I beg you. PREV HOME NEXT
