PEYTON PLACE Episode 215. 05-09-66 Norman ignores Rodney's advice. WA: Ann Howard, the newest member of the staff of Doctors Hospital, has taken a gamble. She deliberately withheld facts about her past when she applied for her appointment. And against Dr. Michael Rossi's advice, she has refused to correct the omission. Intro: Ann Howard walks by the Information Desk and into Dr. Rossi's office, and back to the Information Desk. She looks at a schedule on a clip board and walks to the lab where Dr. Rossi is working. Scene 1: Ann is angry at Dr. Rossi because he talked with Dr. Morton about her. She says that Morton wants to see her. She reminds Rossi that he promised not to tell Morton about her. Rossi explains that Morton already knew, because he had received a copy of the poison pen letter that was given to the Clarion. Rossi tells her that she should have gone to Morton before. Scene 2: Dr. Morton ushers Ann into his office and confronts her with the incident alluded to in the letter. Ann says the incident happened 17 years ago and she deserves to keep her job. She says she went into physical therapy in order to make up for what people say she had done. He says that an unsigned letter carries little weight. Instead of firing her, Dr. Morton puts her on probation. Ann thanks him and leaves. Scene 3: Norman and Rita drive to the Pharmacy and chat for a moment outside before going in. Rita thanks the girl who is running the Pharmacy for filling in for her. Norman chats with Allison about his going to college. Norman tells Rita that he is taking her out to dinner that night. He excuses himself and leaves. Rita and Allison chat for a moment. Betty enters greets Allison and then chats with Rita about decorating her new house.

Allison says that it is funny how their lives have changed in just one year. Betty tells Allison goodbye and leaves. Scene 4: Elliot and Constance walk over to the bandstand across from the Peyton Professional Building and begin to discuss Allison. Elliot tells her that he is worried about Allison, and wishing he had always been there for her. Elliot wonders aloud if Allison and Rodney consider themselves engaged. Scene 5: Norman comes into the Shoreline Garage and asks Rodney if he can work nights at the garage. Norman tells Rodney that he is worried that Rita is pregnant and discusses their grim future if she is. Rodney asks Norman when he will study. Norman says that if he doesn't work more, they will be living on canned beans. Scene 6: Steven and Betty are in their suite at the Inn as Ann Howard calls. Ann tells Steven that someone wants to run her out of town. Steven tells her that he will meet her in the bar at the Colonial Post Inn in a couple of minutes. Betty is annoyed as usual. After completing the call with Ann, Steven talks briefly with Betty about Lee Webber. Scene 7: At the Inn, Steven tells Ann that he had intended to call her. He comments that when he went tot he garage, Lee was quite civil, rather out of character. Steven has apparently fallen for Lee's act. Ann wants to pursue the case all the way and gives Steven a "retainer" fee. Scene 8: At the mansion, Martin Peyton scolds Hannah Cord for writing the poison pen letter that she slipped under the Clarion door. Hannah says that she typed the letter on plain bond paper and it can't be traced to her. She says that she is living in fear that Steven will discover that Ann Howard is actually his twin sister.
