Don't try bringing either of them back again." Chandler says, "I get your message, Mr. Harrington." Leslie says, "Make sure that you do." After some discussion, Leslie tells Chandler that he may be able to find him a job at the mill. Scene 6: Ada and Sandy walk to the back door of the tavern. Sandy is carrying her two suitcases. They go in and Ada calls it the "Peyton Place Plaza." Ada ushers her to the room that used to be Rita's bedroom. Ada advises Sandy to put as much space between her and Lee as possible. Sandy admits that she is interested in Rodney Harrington. Lee knocks on the door and pushes his way in. He is accompanied by two of the bar regulars. Ada tells him that normally he would be pointed to the front entrance, but the whole place is off-limits to him. Sandy says, "I'm not your wife anymore." Lee tells Sandy that it takes a year to get a divorce. Lee leaves. Scene 7: There is a knock on Dr. Rossi's office door. The puppy comes in followed by Rachel. Rossi is looking in the file cabinet. Rossi explains that the puppy was the runt of the litter. Rachel puts the dog on top of the file cabinet. Rachel says it is wonderful that he has been made head of the hospital. Rossi corrects her, that it is chief-of-staff. Rachel asks if that is the reason he came back. He says that is one of the reasons. [The real life reason for his absence was a brief minor illness.] Rossi tells her that they need to get their relationship straight. He is too old for her and he can only be a friend. He only wants to clear the air. Rachel says that he stirred up a lot of dust. She leaves. Preview. Rodney talks with Sandy Webber. Elliot talks with Eli. Ada talks sternly to Jack Chandler.
