Rodney and Betty return to Peyton Place, as a married

WA: For a newly married Rod and Betty Harrington, the future
is, at best, uncertain. But for the moment to Allison
Mackenzie, there will seem to be no future. Only a sense
of what might have been.
Intro: Rodney and Betty drive back to Peyton Place and park on the
east end of the square near the Pillory in front of the
bank building.

Scene 1: In Rodney's convertible, Rodney and Betty talk and plan for
the future. They talk about the reaction that their
parents will have. He says he will be in the drug store
(Calvin Hanley's Peyton Place Pharmacy).
Scene 2: Dr. Rossi stops outside the Book Gallery and stoops to read
a newspaper laying on the sidewalk. Constance and Allison
walk up and the three go in the Book Gallery. Rossi tells
them that he delivered his first set of twins, to Madilyn
Thayer and husband. Constance offers Rossi coffee and
sends Allison to the Inn for a dozen blueberry muffins.
Scene 3: Allison goes over and talks to Betty, who is waiting in the
convertible. Allison apologizes for not visiting Betty in
the hospital. Betty tells her that she and Rodney went to
White River the previous night and got married. Allison is
visibly upset. Rodney comes back from the Peyton Pharmacy
and speaks to Allison. Allison continues on to the Inn.
He asks Betty what she told Allison. Rodney is annoyed
that Betty told Allison about their marriage. Betty says,
"We are married."
Scene 4: Allison returns to the Book Gallery with the muffins and
announces that Rodney and Betty are married. She only got
a half dozen blueberry muffins. Allison says that
Constance doesn't need her so she is going fishing. She
leaves. Dr. Rossi and Constance argue. Rossi says, " what
about your rod?" [Dorothy Malone reportedly complained
that the script didn't allow her to argue and scream
enough. She said she was tired of saying, "Yes, Allison",
and "No, Allison." The writers complied with her request.]
Scene 5: Betty comes home and hugs her father. Betty apologizes for
not telling her mother they were eloping. Julie greets
Rodney. George asks how the trip was. Rodney apologizes
for not telling anyone sooner. Julie and Betty go
upstairs. George has a rather strained conversation with
Rodney.
Scene 6: Upstairs, Betty and her mother talk in private. Betty
confides to Julie that she didn't tell Rodney she had lost
the baby following the accident. Betty tells Julie that
she is worried about Leslie's reaction.
Scene 7: At the Peyton Place playground, Allison is in sitting in a
swing as Norman Harrington walks up. She asked where he had
looked before he found her. Norman calls Allison Cinderella.
Allison says she doesn't want to be serious about anyone or
anything right now. They walk and they talk.
Scene 8: In the Harrington house, Leslie goes upstairs to the
bedroom to talk with Catherine. He offers her a cup of hot
coffee. Catherine says that her silver will some day
belong to Betty Anderson. Leslis corrects her saying,
"Betty Harrington." Catherine says that her head hurts.
She says that she thinks she is being punished. He says,
what for. She says, "You know what." Leslie says," We
don't talk about that." They are referring of course to
the murder of Elizabeth Hanley Carson.
Scene 9: Betty and Rodney arrive at the Harrington mansion. Leslie
shouts and comes down the main staircase to hug his son.
Leslie insincerely says, "Betty, welcome to our home. Your
home." Betty says, "Thank you, sir." He said Catherine
wanted to come down but she isn't feeling well.
Leslie sends Rodney for the champagne that he and Catherine
brought back from France many years ago. Leslie talks to
Betty. He said he prided himself in knowing when to
retreat. Leslie says that he wants Rodney to be happy.
Rodney returns with the champagne. Leslie says that he
wants Rodney to finish college. Leslie then talks about
naming the baby. He suggests Leslie Harrington the second.
