Episode 277.
10-12-66
Rachel is brought to Peyton Place by Norman and Rita.
WA: For Norman Harrington, the backwoods country, some miles from
Peyton Place, holds happy memories. For it was here in days
long past that he and Allison Mackenzie used to play. Now
Norman and his wife, Rita, relive a youthful adventure. A
mysterious adventure filled with shadows and rustling leaves.
Intro: Carrying a large flashlight, Norman along with Rita, are
approaching an old abandoned log cabin.
Scene 1: Inside the cabin they find Rachel, but don't know her name yet.
It is later learned that her aunt died less than a week ago.
She is wild and unwilling to talk. They chase her. They
struggle and Rachel falls from the loft and is knocked out.
Rita says that she is injured. This justifies their taking her
into town. Elsewise it would have been a kidnapping.
Scene 2: Back at the Carson house, Eli and Elliot are still painting the
nursery for Matthew. [Evidently Jerry the typesetter is
tending the newspaper and the Chandlery is closed.] Betty
calls from outside the window. Elliot asks Eli if Steven is
with Betty. He isn't. Elliot tells Eli that he almost took a
swing at Steven for not allowing him to talk with Lee about
Allison. Betty comes in and compliments them on the paint job.
Elliot thanks Betty for staying with Constance and letting him
go to New York to look for Allison.
Betty has come to pick up some things to take to the hospital
for the new baby. And a dress for Constance to wear when she
comes home. Betty says she wants to have children, but not
right away. She asks Elliot what kind of father he thinks
Steven will be. Elliot evades answering the question.
Scene 3: Sandy arrives at the front door of the Peyton house and is
admitted by Mary. Sandy introduces herself as "Sandy, Sandra
Webber." Mary offers to let Sandy wait in the livingroom.
Sandy says she will just wait by the front door. Sandy
requests to see Rodney. Peyton calls to Mary from the dining
room and asks who the visitor is. Mary tells him that it is
Sandra Webber. He asks Mary to bring him some hot coffee.
Sandy Webber and Martin Peyton play a brief game of
peek-a-boo around the corner. Rodney comes down the
stairs and talks a while with Sandy in the living room. She
observes that there should be a picture over the fire place.
Rodney informs her that his mother's portrait had been there.
She tells Rodney she is so mixed up. Rodney is not too
helpful. Sandy is afraid that Steven will get Lee off. Rodney
asked if she had walked all the way over to tell him that. He
offers her a drink. She tells Rodney that she has been to
visit Lee in his cell. Rodney tells Sandy to wait for him in
the car.
Martin calls to Rodney from the livingroom and asks him if that
was Lee Webber's wife. [This is an accusation in the guise of
a question.] Peyton asks what she was doing there. Rodney
says that she needed to see him. Martin says she is being
indiscrete. Rodney allows that this is the way the lower
classes are. Indiscrete but honest. The chessboard is turned
the wrong way in this episode.
Scene 4: Betty, sitting in Steven's car, observes Rodney driving Sandy
Webber in his convertible. Betty sits up in reaction. Steven
comes out of the Peyton Place Banking & Trust Co. building and
asks Betty if that wasn't Sandy with Rodney. She tells him it
is strange. Steven says it is not strange, but incredible.
Steven gets in the car. Betty kisses Steven. Steven tells
Betty he wants to own her. They drive off.
Scene 5: Norman storms into the hospital reception room and tells miss
Choate at the Information Desk that he needs to see Dr. Rossi.
He then bursts into Dr. Rossi's office much to the doctor's
annoyance. Rossi says that he is off duty and he told the desk
that he didn't want to be disturbed. Norman tells Dr. Rossi
that "the girl" has Allison's bracelet. At this point in time,
Norman doesn't know Rachel's name.
Scene 6: Rossi tries to talk to Rachel. He asks another doctor if he
had gotten anything out of her. Rita quotes Rachel as saying
that it is her bracelet. Rossi asks Rachel who will come for
her. Rachel says "Nobody will call." Rachel grabs some
surgical scissors. Rossi gets a hammer-lock on Rachel and
makes her drop the scissors.
Preview: In the Peyton Place Pharmacy, Rodney talks with Steven Cord.
Elliot talks with Rachel.
RH: What do you want out of this?
SC: I want to find out how she died.
RH: Suppose you find out.
SC: What will you do then?
EC: This bracelet. It's my daughter's. I know, because I
gave it to her. Do you want to tell me where you found
this? How did you get this?
Rachel Welles--Leigh Taylor-Young.
