Dr. Joe Bradley takes Laura Brooks to lunch at the Inn.
WA: The small world of Peyton Place has become a big and
frightening world for George Anderson. A man in deadly fear
of losing the two things he loves most, his wife Julie and his
daughter, Betty.
Intro: Leaves blowing. A tree and a picket fence.
Scene 1: George Anderson tries to make an insurance sale in the square
by the bandstand. His potential client, Sam Hosmer, tells him
maybe next year. George suggests next year at 10:00 o'clock.
Sam walks off.
Dr. Rossi drives up, takes his medical bag out of the back
seat, and talks with George. He asks George how he is. George
mentions the tranquilizers that Rossi gave him. George walks
off.
Dr. Rossi then walks over and talks to Constance in front of
the Book Gallery. She is putting up a SALE sign.
Constance asks Dr. Rossi if he ever had any New England fish
chowder. She invites him to dinner. He leaves. She goes
inside her store and he heads for his office.
Scene 2: Constance talks to Eli Carson. Eli says that Elliot may be
home for Christmans. He feels faint and asks to sit down.
Allison comes in and talks to her mother. She talks to Eli and
asks what his son, Elliot, is like. Allison says that she
feels that Elliot is coming home.
Scene 3: Dr. Joe Bradley takes Laura Brooks to lunch at the Colonial
Post Inn restaurant. He tells her that Bob Morton and her
husband Donald Brooks, assisted him in his last operation which
was on Matthew Swain. He goes on to say Catherine died of
shock on the operating table. He wants her to tell Dr. Rossi
that suspensions don't last forever.
Scene 4: In Rossi's office, the phone rings and Rossi talks briefly to a
Mrs. Putnam. He explains that he is still seeing patients and
that he is referring his surgical patients to Dr. Burris. He
tells her that he can see her tomorrow at 10:00. Laura relays
to Rossi that Joe Bradley told her that suspensions don't last
forever. She tells him that Dr. Bradley's last surgery was on
Matthew Swain. Dr. Bradley asked her to lunch to pump her for
information. She says that five years ago when she asked her
Husband about that operation, he changed the subject.
Scene 5: Outside, the Interstate Bus pulls in. Matthew Swain gets off
and he goes over to talk with Allison. She gives him her story
for the Observer column. The story concerns Elliot's return.
He tells Allison to tell her mother he will be in to see her
later. Allison goes in to see her mother.
Scene 6: Dr. Rossi talks to Matthew Swain. Swain tells him that Dr.
Morton took care of him after Dr. Bradley's surgery five years
ago. Swain tells Rossi that Dr. Bradley probably had a
prolonged illness, and was away for a year or so. Tuberculosis
or something like that. Swain tells him that stirring things
up is not the way to get his hospital privileges back.
Scene 7: George Anderson takes a bottle out of the cabinet, which
appears to be the cabinet the small TV is sometimes on. He is
drinking as his wife, Julie appears on the stairs. She has
presumable walked down the stairs. She comes on down and they
talk at length and she starts to go back upstairs. He accuses
her of preparing to go see Leslie. He says he's going to teach
her a lesson.
Scene 8: Julie goes to the Peyton Mills to talk to Leslie, and as she's
entering Leslie's outer office, the phone rings and she starts
to pick it up and answer it. Leslie comes in and she hands him
the phone. Leslie deals with a difficult customer. She talks
with Leslie about Betty, Rodney, and George. Leslie asks Julie
to come back as his secretary. She asks Leslie to give George
his sales job. Leslie reminds Julie that George quit but tells
her he would do anything for her. They talk about the will and
the codicil. He again asks her to come back to the mill as his
secretary.
Scene 9: George Anderson walks around on the street and goes home. He
begins drinking again. Julie comes down the stairs and talks
with him for a while. She tells him that she went to see
Leslie. This starts an argument. George says that he is going
to teach her a lesson. He attacks her. She picks up the
telephone and clobbers him with the base of the telephone. He
collapses [Almost like the wicked witch of the west]. She
calls the hospital and tells the operator that she needs to
talk with Dr. Rossi.
Preview: Julie talks to Betty. Dr. Bradley tells Rossi to leave the
laboratory. Rossi grabs him by the lapels and speaks roughly
to him. Allison asks her mother, "Are you in love with Dr.
Rossi. Constance says, "Why do you ask."
BA: How did it happen?
JA: He was drunk.
BA: He's been drunk before.
JA: Not like this. I was afraid he was going to kill me.
JB: I'd like you to leave the laboratory. I've got
work to do.
MR: Now you listen to me. I'm fighting for my
professional life. Do you understand that? Do you
think I'm going to take this lying down?.
AM: Mother, are you in love with Dr. Rossi?
CM: Why do you ask?
AM: It's a natural question.
