Rachel escapes from Chandler.
WA: Rachel Welles is safe. She is back in the Carson household
after a harrowing flight from Jack Chandler's farmhouse.
Chandler had abducted her, grabbed her as she walked out of the
night school class. Now Rachel must face an even tougher
adversary, herself. For she knows something about the
disappearance of Allison. Guilty knowledge she has
deliberately kept from the Carsons.
Intro: Theodore Roosevelt bears in Allison Mackenzie's old room.
Rachel is now in Allison's bed in the Carson house.
Scene 1: Constance comes in the bedroom to talk to Rachel. Rachel talks
about how much Jack Chandler hates the Carsons. Rachel tells
Constance that she wants to stay with them forever. Constance
says that they also want her to stay with them. Constance
talks about how Allison used to have terrible nachtmares.
She says that she knows Allison is coming back to us.
Constance asks Rachel to close her eyes and think of something
wonderful. She leaves Rachel's room and goes to her bedroom.
Scene 2: Elliot raises a window and then puts it back down. Constance
comes in the room. Elliot talks with her about Rachel. Elliot
says that he will stay there in the house until the police
catch Chandler.
Scene 3: Police Sgt. William Wilson Walker and police Sgt. Edward
Goddard are searching the Chandler farmhouse using flashlights.
They don't find anything of significance. [It makes one wonder
whether Massachusetts municipal police have county authority?]
Scene 4: Dr. Rossi comes to the Carson house to talk with Elliot about
Rachel. Rossi tells Elliot that Chandler had tried to Shanghai
Rachel to Mexico.
Scene 5: Dr. Rossi goes upstairs to Rachel's room. He goes inside
Rachel's room without knocking and goes over to her bed.
Rachel pretends to be asleep. Rossi places a Theodore
Roosevelt bear on the foot of her bed.
Scene 6: Lee Webber comes in the mansion very quietly. He goes in the
livingroom and talks with Martin Peyton. The portrait of Betty
is on display over the fireplace. Peyton says that their
argument is over. Peyton says he didn't call him there to fire
him. Lee pours a drink for Peyton.
Scene 7: In the apartment, Norman and Rita are rolling around in the
bed. Norman says he wants Rita to fight. In the background is
a telescope for amateur stargazing. It is 2:30 in the morning.
There is a knock at the door. Rodney has brought a
livingroom picnic. He has brought a clean table cloth,
a candle, cold cuts, and an old pickle. They frolic.
Scene 8: Betty comes in the livingroom to talk with Martin Peyton.
There is a very good camera shot of the portrait of Betty,
wearing the red dress and the pearls. Mr. Grayson had brought
the jewelry for Peyton and Betty to examine. Peyton introduces
Betty to Grayson as his granddaughter-in-law. [In
episode 357, 07-31-67, Peyton also introduces Betty to Adrienne
as his granddaughter-in-law]. Grayson first displays a
tiara. Next Mr. Grayson displays antique jade. Last at
Betty's request he shows a single star ruby watch bracelet.
Grayson mentions a jewelry designer Lesoro who crafted Mrs.
Peyton's wedding ring. [Mrs. Peyton was a Boston socialite who
was married to Peyton for only a brief time.]
Preview: Betty talks to Steven. Rachel talks to Constance. Rodney
talks to Steven.
BA: You've accused him of being incompetent. And wouldn't it
be strange if it really were?
RW: You think I lied to you about everything, don't you?
CM: What else can I think?
RH: The old man's will is the old man's business. I don't
care if he wants to take his money ...
SC: You win the daily double. His fortune and my wife.
RH: According to you.
SC: According to me.
Mr. Grayson, jeweler-uncredited.
Betty, Granddaughter-in-law to Martin Peyton.
Single Star Ruby Bracelet.
Lesoro-jewelry designer-only mentioned.
The mention of a mysterious ride to Boston mentioned in the story line
appears to be erroneous.
