PEYTON PLACE Episode 308. 01-30-67 WA: Today, this small New England town is covered with a snow fall that seems to muffle all the sounds of quiet desperation. Rita Jacks Harrington and her husband, Norman, want to shout. Although Norman stepped into a bitter argument between Lee Webber and the blind Chris Webber, only to be accused of intrding. The irony has left a bitter taste. Intro: Rita walks past the Shippers Office toward the Tavern carrying a chowder pot, with a bail. Children are in front of the tavern building a snow man. Norman gets hit by a snowball. Scene 1: Norman knocks the head off the snowman with a snowball. He then runs the children off, saying that he is mean and this is his territory. Norman replaces the snowman's head. The children throw snowballs at Norman. Norman and Rita continue to walk. Rita is returning the chowder pot to her mother, Ada, from the Harrington's party last night. Rita asks Norman is he is still bothered about last night. He admits that he is. Rita goes in the Tavern. Scene 2: At the mansion, Mary, carrying a folding rule, has just given Betty a width dimension, 46 inches, as Rodney comes down the stairs. Rodney asks Mary where his duffle bag is. She tells him that it is at Norman's. Betty asks Rodney where he is going to live. Rodney explains that he is going to live on the wharf. And that it will suit him just fine. Betty says it sounds comfortable and that he will have more freedom. Rodney says, "The parade of beauties won't have so far to walk." [This is possibly a reference to Sandy Webber.] Scene 3: At the Book Gallery, Constance is talking on the phone to Dr. Michael Rossi in New York City about Matthew. He will be back in a couple of days. She allows that he deserves a rest. She says they all miss the doctor very much. Elliot and Rachel come in with Rachel pushing the pram. Constance says that they just missed Dr. Rossi. Rachel wants to know when Dr. Rossi is coming back and if he asked about her. Scene 4: In front of the Pharmacy, Rodney talks to Rachel, who is attending to Matthew in the pram. Rodney asks if he can push the pram. They go in the Pharmacy, Rodney pushing the pram and Rachel following. All the patrons at the soda fountain counter turn around to look. Rodney and Rachel sit and talk. Rodney asks Rita to heat a bottle of milk and then feeds it to Matthew. Scene 6: Police Sgt. William Wilson Walker comes in to Ada Jacks' Tavern to bring the gun license to her. After he leaves, Ada opens the drawer and finds the gun missing from its holster. She tries to think what could have happened to it. Scene 7: Steven comes to visit Peyton in his hospital room.
