WA: Most of the days of Lee Webber's life have been ordinary.
Today, he finds himself a man with a mission. For Lee has
learned that a woman who calls herself Ann Howard has
returned to Peyton Place. Now, Lee Webber must find her and
confront her.
Intro: Ada Jacks' Tavern. Shoreline Garage. Lee Webber walking on
the wharf toward the Cider Barrel.
Scene 1: As Lee Webber is going into the Cider Barrel, he almost bumps
into Ann Howard who is just coming out. Sandy Webber is
waiting tables and Lee asks her who the girl is. She reminds
Lee that she is not the social director. Sandy is obviously
not in a good mood. Lee asks Sandy why she got up early and
left. She said that she did not want to disturb him. Lee
asks what time Rodney usually comes in. They talk and argue.
Lee tells Sandy to find out about the girl the next time she
comes in. Sandy tells Lee that the girl is a doctor or
something at the hospital. Lee tells her that the girl is
Ann Colby, the girl who shoved Chris off the bluff. Sandy
asks Lee if he is sure. He says that he is going to make
sure. Lee leaves headed toward the Shoreline Garage.
Scene 2: Steven and Betty drive up to the mansion in Steven's
convertible. They talk a while before going into the house.
Steven says that if he is Peyton's son and if he is
re-writeing his will, he wants someone to remind the old man
of his obligation to Steven Cord. Betty gets out of the car
and goes in the mansion.
Peyton is sitting in the dining room at the table. Peyton is
reading the paper and Rodney is reading an automotive manual.
Peyton tells Rodney that he is revising his will. That is
why Wainwright has come from Boston. [Apparently from the
south].
Betty talks with Rodney about Wainwright and other things.
Rodney tells Betty that all ex-husbands need to be used.
Betty goes into the dining room and visits with Martin
Peyton. Peyton is still reading and eating breakfast.
Scene 3: Rossi brings his car to the Shoreline Garage. Lee is inside
operating a differential pulley [usually used for pulling
engines]. Rodney referred to this as a "hoist." Rossi
tells Lee that he is looking for Rodney. Lee says that
Rodney isn't there and offers to help. Lee asks if he is Dr.
Rossi and if he still works at Doctors Hospital. Rossi says
that he is and he does. Rossi says his brakes have gone soft
on him. Rossi asks for a loaner car. Lee says that Rodney
hasn't gotten one yet but offers the doctor his car. Rossi
leaves. Lee says to himself, "No problem at all."
Scene 4: Allison goes to visit Dr. Rossi in his office at Doctors
Hospital. Rossi examines her left hand and says that she is
making excellent progress. He allows that she must have been
following her exercise program. She is uncharacteristically
sarcastic and says that she has been doing her exercises, has
been maintaining her diet, and drinking 8 glasses of water
every day. Allison says that she is going around all day
having feelings. She is on the verge of tears all the time.
Rossi asks how Rodney is. She says that he is busy in his
garage all the time. Allison says that she is confused. She
has lots of questions. Like why doesn't being in love make
you happy? Rossi asks her why she thinks life should come in
a neat package. Allison wonders if maybe she was happier
when she didn't understand what was happening. Rossi says
that he wants her to come back in three months bubbling over
with happiness.
Allison starts to leave as Lee Webber shows up. Lee tells
the doctor that he needed a new master cylinder. Rossi asks
how much the repair charges are. Lee says that he will bill
him. when Lee Webber arrives. Lee gives Rossi his keys.
Rossi tells Lee that his keys are on the seat of his car.
[Remember, this is considered to be a small town.] Lee and
Allison leave.
Lee asks the nurse at the Information Desk about a "Dr. Howard."
He is told that Ann Howard is a therapist.
Scene 5: Allison goes to visit Ann Howard in therapy. They start to
chat and a young girl asks them not to make so much noise
talking. Allison and Ann go to another of the room and
continue to talk. Allison offers to help her in the therapy
room. Ann thanks her for the offer. Ann says that she has
to get the children back to Dr. Forbes. Allison offers to do
that for her. Allison leaves.
Lee comes in and introduces himself to Ann Howard. He says
that his name is Lee Webber. Chris' Brother.
Preview: In the Clarion, Allison talks with Elliot. Ann talks with
Lee Webber. Hannah talks with Betty.
AM: I wonder what will happen if I stay in Peyton Place.
EC: Why should there be any question?
AH: It is something I have to do, in my way.
LW: Then you're not going to let it rest?
AH: I can't.
HC: You're asking me to betray a confidence.
BA: You're Steven's mother.
HC: Stay away from this house. That is the best thing you
can do.
The storylines are deliberately misleading because Lee Webber himself
was the culprit who pushed Chris off the cliff.
Dr. Howard-actually Ann Howard, physical therapist-Susan Oliver.
Dr. Forbes is mentioned.
