PEYTON PLACE Episode 429. 05-09-68 Eddie Jacks leaves town on the bus. WA: Tonight Dr. Michael Rossi, accused his young brother, Joe, of coming to Peyton Place, not just to hide, not just to pick up a relationship with his brother, but to force Dr. Rossi to pay for leaving the family home so many years ago. Dr. Rossi's anger touched off an explosion, an explosion inside of Joe. Intro: Dr. Rossi is seen through the windows of the beach cottage walking to the front door. He unlocks the door and goes in. Scene 1: Dr. Rossi tells Joe that he just wants to know the truth. The point is that Joe thought the police were going to lock him up because of his fight with Eddie Jacks. Joe says that he could have run off. Joe mentions the warehouse and Rita. Joe tells off his brother. Joe prepares to leave. He carries his duffle bag to the door. Michael tells Joe that he can stay. Scene 2: Eddie comes into the Tavern area from a back room, wearing a very nice looking suit. He has a bandage on his right forehead from the fight with Joe Rossi. Rita comes in the front door. Eddie greets her, calling her princess. Rita tells him that she does not want Eddie to go to the police. She says that if he goes to the police then she will have to go also. Rita says that Joe never laid a hand on her. Rita leaves. Eddie drinks a cup of coffee. Scene 3: In the Carson home, Elliot is on the phone. He says there is no answer so the baby sitter must be on the way. They talk about getting rid of the clothes. Constance doesn't understand why Rossi didn't tell them the truth, that it was not Allison's child. Elliot hears a car drive up. Constance says that she thinks that Kelly knows she is leaving today. Constance goes to get Kelly as the door chime rings. The baby sitter is Laurie, the Cider Barrel Laurie, the tall blonde. Laurie says the room is locked but Constance doesn't open it. Elliot goes up to find the door still locked. Scene 4: Ferris wheel is revolving, on the square, across from the pillory. In front of the Chamber of Commerce Building and the bank. No one riding. Tom and Susan drive by the pillory, turn left and park. They get out of the gray station wagon. Susan Winter calls out, "Oh, Mr. Cord" to Steven. Susan tells Tom that she can save him the trouble of checking on the luncheon at the Peyton house by riding over there with Steven. Steven comes over and agrees without enthusiasm to take Susan to the luncheon. Eli comes over to talk with Tom Winter. He says he needs a man's opinion because the women are so traditional. Tom's mind is elsewhere, so Eli excuses himself and goes back to work. Scene 5: Rita comes in the Tavern talking a blue streak, knocks and calls through the door to her father. She opens the door but her father isn't there. Ada is sitting on the bed. Rita listens as Ada reads the farewell note from Eddie. "Princess, like the man said, that I'm ever late. I wanted to help you. I wound up hurting you. I guess I just got started too late with you and your mom. And I've been running out of the money ever since. Even a pure bred sucker like me can see it's time to quit. So put everything you have on Norm. He's got what it takes to make you a winner. Pop." Ada sums up her thoughts by saying, "I never cared for that fast talking, slowing working, no good bum." Scene 6: Eddie, carrying a suitcase and an overcoat, walks up to the Interstate Bus and hands the driver a large bill, possibly a twenty. The driver asks, "Where to?" He says, "As far as it will take me." He tells the driver he wants a one-way ticket. The driver tells him to get on, he is behind schedule. Eddie gets on the bus followed by the driver. The bus pulls out. Eddie waves goodbye to the town. He still has the bandage on his forehead. It wasn't explained what happened to his jalopy. Eddie drove his jalopy in the previous episode. Ada drives a large Cadillac. Preview: Joe talks to Jill. Tom talks to Susan. Constance talks to Jill. JR: What about me? Twenty bucks a week. I mean that entitles me to something. JS: It's called child support. That's what it's called. TW: Mr. Cord is not being too cooperative. That may be your one problem, Susan. Mr. Cord may just be too discrete to suit your purposes. SW: Anything for sweet charity. CM: Don't try to do it alone. Find someone, Jill, who loves Kelly, as much as you do. Interstate Bus driver. In real life, Dan Duryea is terminally ill. Duffle can also be spelled duffel. Both are correct. Duffle is a heavy fabric. PREV HOME NEXT
