PEYTON PLACE Episode 239. 07-04-66 Ann Howard shows up at the hospital. WA: Seventeen years ago, Ann Howard was accused of causing the blindness of young Christopher Webber. She has lived most of her life trying to control her grief and her guilt. Tonight, talking to the same young man, Christopher Webber, she disturbed him to the extent that he walked away from her, fell, and seriously injured himself. Ann Howard has come the full circle. Intro: Outside the main entrance of Doctors Hospital. Ann drives up and goes in the hospital. Scene 1: Sandy confronts Ann in front of Doctors Hospital and tries to block Ann's entrance. [At this point in time, Sandy believes that Ann pushed Lee seventeen years ago.] Ann goes on in and attempts to get information about Chris at the Information Desk from a duty nurse. The nurse avoids giving out any information. Scene 2: In Peyton's hospital room, Hannah asks Peyton how long he intends to play sick. Peyton asks Hannah if she is worried about the bill. Peyton apparently has enough clout to be admitted to the hospital even without physical symptoms. Hannah tells Peyton that she doesn't want to face Steven's questions alone He tries to calm Hannah by repeating to her the story that he told Ann. He said that the sketches of Catherine were in Brian's trunk because Brian was Catherine's art teacher. Hannah laughs at this weak and phony story. Dr. Rossi enters, and weary of Peyton's shenanigans, tells him to pack his bags. He says, "This is not a luxury hotel for pampered guests." Hannah gloats, now she won't have to face Steven's tirade alone. Peyton says he is leaving the hospital to avoid Rossi's questions. Scene 3: At the newspaper office, Allison tells Elliot that she is worried about Chris. Elliot tries his best to fake some sincere sympathy. Elliot states that Chris doesn't have the same armor as everyone else. Allison says that she admires Chris for being able to tolerate his blindness. They go a few more rounds and then Constance and Elliot leave the Clarion. Allison slams the door behind them. Scene 4: Steven and Betty are home and Steven moves in for his questioning. He picks up on Hannah's successful ploy to keep her from a confessing and asks why she and Rodney were together. Betty weakly confesses that they were discussing the "slashed" portrait. Steven accuses Betty of dating [fraternizing] with Rodney. Betty vehemently denies it saying, "It wasn't a date." Steven says he is going to his office. She asks him not to leave. Steven cooly states that he was being "polite." He then goes into a jealous frenzy and storms out. Predictably, Betty calls Rodney and sobs that Steven is misunderstanding their little chit-chats. Rodney tells her that she had better "fess up" and "spill the beans" or her marriage will be over. Scene 5: At the apartment, Rita heaps pity on Rodney for having no girl. She always has someone to talk to in the Pharmacy. Rita says that she doesn't know what she would do without Norman. She mentions that Rodney was the big hero in Peyton High school and she was always the outsider. She never imagined his being alone. She wonders how Rodney survives the lonely nights. Scene 6: In the hospital, Lee is reading as Sandy comes in bringing Lee some cigarettes. When Lee asks what took her so long she explains that she ran into Ann Howard. She asks Lee why he is so upset about Chris and he tells her that he is all "banged up" and wishes that Ann would leave Chris alone. Sandy and Lee wonder if Chris should go back to Boston. Dr. Morton is paged. Scene 7: Ann Howard once again is at the reception desk. She makes a phone call concerning Chris. They continue giving her no info at all. Since she works there in the hospital she should know the rules. Scene 8: Dr. Rossi enters and rants at Ann. Why did she go to the wharf and upset Chris? Maybe she wants to remember everything but he doesn't. Does she not know when to quit? She had better stay away from his patient, Chris. He's doing a great imitation of Steven Cord. Rossi stalks off. Scene 9: Lee has overheard and enters just in time. He makes his usual smirk and says, "Your on your way out, Lady, all the way out." Preview: Peyton talks to Rodney. Hannah talks to Betty. Chris shouts at Ann Howard. MP: Trust me, Rodney. Have faith in me. Take my hand, Rodney. Trust me. HC: You didn't belong here as Mrs. Rodney Harrington. And you don't belong here as Mrs. Steven Cord. CW: Get out. Get out of my life, now. Anne "Ann" [Colby] Howard-Susan Oliver. Chris Webber-Gary Haynes. PREV HOME NEXT
