WA:       The first snowstorm of winter is moving slowly across the

          in.  She doesn't understand how a person can get sentimental 
          over a picture a puppy and not care about a person, referring 
          to Elliot Carson.  [Even at this early point in the series,

          and talks to George.  George says, "Hold on, don't give an 
          inch."

          her a small sherry, she has to drive home.  Constance tells 
          Rossi that a woman was murdered in the beach house.  Rossi says 
          that was 18 years ago.  Allison's father is alive.  Rossi tells 
          her she must tell Allison.  She then adds that Elliot Carson is 
          Allison's father. 

Scene 7:  Across the street east from the Pharmacy, Allison sees Betty 
          carrying her suitcase.  She walks over and talks to her.  The 
          bus pulls up in front of the Interstate Bus terminal.  Betty

          MR:  But, his name was Elliot Carson then, and it's Elliot 
               Carson now.  And he is Allison's father.  I'm trying
