          Rita is found. 
              
WA:       Rita Jacks, trying to apologize to Norman Harrington, 
          retraces in her mind the stormy path of their romance.  
          Joe Chernak, anxious to cause trouble for them, because he 
          was turned down by Rita, considers his next destructive 
          move.  Neither Norman nor Rita, at this moment, have any 
          Idea what far reaching complications Joe's anger will 
          bring.  Complications that are sure to involve all of 
          Peyton Place. 

Intro:    Rita walks up the stairs to the apartment.  She gets no

          went away to for a while.  Stella talks with Joe about his 
          stealing a car.  It appears in later episodes that the rather

          Doris: Are you saying that Elliot Carson whote that letter 
                 as a personal, vindictive attack because we fired 
                 his daughter? 
          David: You fired her, not me.

          AM:    You said that you hate David Schuster.
          EC:    Now just a minute.  That letter was not meant as a 
                 personal attack.  No more than your defense of Mr.  
                 Schuster was a personal one.

          MR:    Dr. Markham recognized the stability and gave me the 
                 opportunity to do something about it.  He wants me
