PEYTON PLACE Episode 321. 03-21-67 Elliot searches the farmhouse. WA: Rachel Welles has returned to the farmhouse where she was raised, the farmhouse owned by Jack Chandler. She has returned out of a driving determination to find something that will lead to certain knowledge of Chandler. His life and his habits and throw light on the disappearance of Elliot Carson's daughter, Allison. Now having broken into the house, she finds a belt buckle, an initialed belt buckle. Perhaps it is the sort of thing that can open up Chandler's past. Intro: Rachel walking around carrying a candle in a candlestick. She searches in drawers and boxes. She finds a belt buckle. Written by Ann Marcus and Lionel E. Siegel Directed by William J. Hole, Jr. Scene 1: In the basement, Rachel holds the buckle near the candle and reads the initials, J F. She starts back up the stairs and Chandler appears from out of almost nowhere. She asks him what he is doing there. He says that he lives there. He asks her to come back up stairs to talk. She tries to get away from him. He tells her that she is not going back. When she gets the chance, she hits him on the right side of his head with the candlestick and runs away. [see episode 325]. Scene 2: Rachel Welles apparently ran over to the Burrows farmhouse as Mr. Burrows is now driving her back to town in his old car. Rachel is sobbing. As they are chatting, Mr. Burrows allows that he has heart trouble and his wife was upstairs in bed, too sick to move when they heard her. He says that the Carsons are fine people. Scene 3: Elliot Carson shows up at the farmhouse with a flashlight and begins looking around. There is a photograph with presumably Chandler and aunt Lucy in the foreground. Elliot finds the candlestick on the floor and notices that the candle is still warm. But Chandler is nowhere to be seen. Scene 4: Mr. Burrows drops Rachel off at the front entrance of Doctors Hospital. [Mr. Burrows looks like the stereotypical farmer. He looks a bit like Pa Kettle and a little bit like the one armed man in "The Fugitive."] Rachel graciously thanks him for the ride and he wishes her good luck. She runs up the main steps of the hospital and goes directly to Dr. Rossi's office. Rossi asks Rachel if she had gone to Jack Chandler's farm. Rachel wants him to call the social worker, Mrs. Franks. She tells the doctor that she has been to Hastings Valley. Rossi thinks that she did go to the farm. The Burrows were too sick to stay with. Rossi hugs and comforts her like a daughter, but almost like a girl-friend. He says she can sleep on the couch in his office. He gives her a sleeping pill and water. She lies down and he covers her with a blanket. She pleads for him to stay. But he won't. He tells her good-night and leaves. Outside he asks Miss House the duty nurse for a file box. Scene 5: Elliot pounds on Chandler's door at the Boarding house. No answer. Eli opens his door. Neither knows where Rachel is. Elliot goes in Eli's room and has coffee. Elliot says that Norman suggested that she might have gone back to the farm. Elliot tells Eli that he went to the farm and that somebody had been there. Constance calls Eli's room to say that Rachel is safe. Scene 6: At Ada Jacks Tavern, Rodney comes in and asks for half a cup of coffee. Black will be fine. Ada advises Rodney to be careful. She refers to Sandy Webber. She says that Lee can't give up his desire for Sandy. Sandy comes in the bar wearing an attractive turquoise blue dress. Rodney tells Sandy he wants to go to White River instead of the Shoreline because he's had a rough day. Scene 7: Dr. Rossi is sitting on a couch outside his office. Rachel is still sleeping inside his office. Elliot walks up and says that someone had broken into Chandler's farmhouse and made a real mess. He tells Rossi that his house will be Rachel's home. About this time Rachel screams and Elliot and Rossi go into Rossi's office to calm and comfort her. Rachel falls asleep again and Elliot leaves. Rossi continues to wait outside his office. Preview: Rachel talks to Rita. Elliot talks to Leslie. Lee talks to Rodney. RW: I called the mill today. He didn't go to work. Maybe I killed him. EC: You're still the same old leopard, aren't you? Same old spots. LW: Maybe someday I can do the samething for you, with Sandy. RH: There isn't anything you can tell me about Sandy, I don't already know. Miss House-Duty nurse. Mrs. Franks, social worker-uncredited. [see episode 301]. Mr. Burrows is the husband of Mrs. Burrows who came to Doctors Hospital to warn Dr. Rossi about Jack Chandler and to give the doctor five dollars for Rachel to use for whatever she wishes. Guy Raymond played the role of Mr. Burrows. He had a bit part in The Reluctant Astronaut starring Don Knotts. PREV HOME NEXT
