PEYTON PLACE Episode 292. 12-05-66 WA: The Peyton Place square is a crossroads. On the one side, it's the only logical place for a new mother like Constance Mackenzie Carson to show her new baby. For Constance, this presentation of Matthew Carson has added meaning. It is a time to put aside the dispair caused by the disappearance of her grown daughter Allison. And it is a time to put aside the tragedy of Ann Howard's death, the subject of a preliminary hearing on the other side of the square. And to put aside the sudden entrance into her life of a young girl, Rachel Welles, who her husband believes has knowlege of Allison. But today is Matthew's day. Intro: Eli is changing the population sign from 8867 to 8868. He is wearing a gray sweater and an apron. As he finishes, Constance comes around the corner in front of the Pharmacy, pushing the tram. She meets up with Eli in front of the Clarion. Scene 1: The "old coot with the walrus mustache" is taking Polaroid® pictures and is generally making a nuisance of himself. He asks Constance to go over to the bandstand to have her picture taken. He then goes into the Clarion to get Elliot and then helps Constance across the street. He holds up traffic annoying a lady driver. Elliot, wearing a black suit, comes out of the Clarion and stands by Constance for a picture. A boy named Newton tries to edge into the picture. Behind the old coot, Jack Chandler is seen getting out of his 57 Ford panel wagon and going in the side entrance of the police station on the east side of the Town Hall. Scene 2: District Attorney John Fowler is listening to a 5 inch reel-to reel tape recording of his own voice. His secretary Mary Ann, buzzes him saying that a Jack Chandler wants to see him. Fowler says he has to go to court but can see him tomorrow. Fowler relents and talks with Chandler. The farmer wants to see his niece, Rachel. Chandler says he doesn't want to cause any trouble. He further says that he is her only living relative. Fowler asks Marianne to get Dr. Rossi at the hospital. Using a pencil, she dials 6 digits on a rotary dial phone. Scene 3: In John Fowler's outer office, Chandler asks the secretary where a barber shop would be. She says, "Two blocks to the right, one to the left." Scene 4: Betty is talking with Steven as he prepares for the day. Steven can't find his wristwatch. He had left the watch on the table by the couch. Evidently he hadn't lusted after Betty the night before. Scene 5: Norman, wearing a suit, is waiting for Rodney, wearing a white shirt and tie, as their father, Leslie, joins them. Leslie expects Martin Peyton's name to be smeared in court today. He thinks the three Harrington men should make an appearance together. They agree to go. Scene 6: In the Peyton mansion, Hannah is waiting. She looks hatefully at the portrait of Catherine. One can only imagine what her thoughts are. Martin comes in and asks Hannah if she is all right. He asks further where she was last night. They prepare to ride to the courthouse together. Scene 7: Peyton's Rolls Royce limousine pulls up in front of the courthouse. Thomas gets out on the left, the driver's side, and goes around to offer his gloved hand to Hannah to help her out. Martin Peyton slides over and is helped only minimally to get out of the car. Scene 8: Rossi brings Rachel to the police station for a meeting with her uncle, Jack Chandler. Rossi wants the meeting to be supervised meeting. Fowler wants it private with police just outside the door. Scene 9: Reluctantly, Rachel talks with Chandler. She screams and the officer comes in. He checks with Rachel and exits. Chandler and Rachel talk some more. Preview: Steven examines Hannah on the witness stand. Rachel complains to Elliot. SC: To your knowledge, did she ever know that I was her brother? HC: Yes, she found that out. SC: When was that? HC: The day she ... SC: The day she what, Mrs. Cord? The day she what, Mrs. Cord? RW: I don't want to be around him anymore. I don't want to think about him anymore. Polaroid® camera. The name Mary Ann may actually be Marianne or even Marian. In any case, John Fowler's wife is named Marian. PREV HOME NEXT
