WA: Betty Anderson has begun a frightening search for the portrait of Martin Peyton's daughter. A portrait which has mysteriously disappeared from its revered position in the house. To Betty, the disappearance of the portrait confirms her suspicions of intrigue in the Peyton world. Intrigue that could affect her husband, Steven Cord. MEL: Rodney learns it was Lee who pushed Chris off Sailors' Bluff. Intro: Betty is in the basement of the Peyton mansion looking at portraits. Scene 1: In the cellar of the mansion, the person who grabbed Betty's wrist was Rodney. He's shocked to see the slashed likeness of his mother and for a moment assumes that Betty did it. Betty soon convinces him that she didn't do the dirty deed. She begins to recall all the strange happenings in the mansion. Rodney tells her that she must mind her own business. Scene 2: Dr. Rossi pulls his car up by the petrol dispensers in front of Shoreline Garage. Rodney is nowhere to be seen and Lee Webber ambles out trying to look pleasant. Rossi quickly sizes up Lee and calls him a "rough character" for attacking Steven Cord at the Shoreline. He tells Lee to leave Ann Howard alone regarding her search for the truth of Chris' accident. Lee spouts back that they better leave his poor nervous little blind brother alone. They shout back and forth on this topic for a while. Rossi drives off without filling his tank. Scene 3: Meanwhile back at the Peyton Square, Ann Howard spots Allison and Chris and quickly ducks into the Pharmacy. Allison follows Ann in, leaving Chris sitting on a bench. Allison orders sandwiches and chats with Ann, asking her to join her and Chris for lunch. Ann relates her sordid tale of being accused of shoving Chris off the bluff. Allison wanders out of the Peyton Pharmacy without getting her sandwiches. Scene 4: Allison approaches Chris who is still sitting motionless on the bench and tells him she changed her mind about the sandwiches. He notes that she sounds upset but agrees to go eat at Guidos, a restaurant on the wharf and feed crumbs to the gulls. Scene 5: Steven shows off his new office to Ann and tells her that he would like to talk with Ann's father, Brian Colby. Steven says Ann's father convinced everyone she was a nervous little girl who was capable of pushing a boy off a bluff. Ann confides to Steven that her father didn't want her to come back to Peyton Place. Scene 6: On the wharf Elliot and Norman have a rambling conversation about boats and dreams of sailing away. Connie comes up to them and Elliot realizes his dreams have come true. He has gotten Constance pregnant again. She has purchased a compass as a gift and Elliot says already he found his destination in life. Scene 7: Martin and Hannah arrive at the mansion and Martin waves his newly revised will around like a trophy. He brags that Ann and her father can't threaten it.

He becomes very ominous, warning Betty to "Get out of the House." Preview: Chris talks with Lee. Ann talks with Steven. Rodney talks with Leslie.
