WA: Allison Mackenzie is convinced that the attack her father

letter-to-the- editor. It appeared in the columns of the
Clarion, signed openly, Elliot Carson.

Scene 1: Allison is returning from the Italian grocery store and
stops on the square to talk with David Schuster. Schuster
talks with Allison about how much he loves Italian food.
He says he hasn't had a good italian dinner since he came
to Peyton Place. Allison tells Schuster that she and
Rodney are going to have a clambake. David Schuster says
that he wishes he could go along on the clambake. She
tells him what she smelled at the grocery store. Strings
of garlic, peppers, sausages, and cheeses.
She says they are picking up the clams on the wharf. In
front of the Peyton Place Real Estate office, She
apologizes for her father's letter-to-the-editor. Elliot
walks up and joins them. Allison asks for her sack of
groceries back. Schuster offers to carry them to the door
of the Book Gallery for her. Schuster asks Elliot if he
has a minute, he would like to talk with him. Elliot says
that he has all the time he wants.
They go in the Chandlery and talk. He would like to talk
with him.

They discuss the mill and its workers. Schuster employs
the perjorative phrase gold-plated migratory bird that
Elliot had used in his letter-to-the-Editor. Elliot tells
Schuster that he is going to be the new editor of the
Clarion.
Scene 2: Kenneth goes in to see Rossi before he leaves for
Pittsburgh. He thanks Rossi for calling him about his
brother. Kenneth allows that Vincent is a proud man.
Kenneth mentions the $100,000 again. Rossi asks if he is
leaving by helicopter. Kenneth borrows a pen from Rossi
and writes a $10,000 check to Doctors Hospital and tells
Rossi that he wants Rossi to determine how the money is
spent.
Scene 3: Dr. Vincent Markham has gone to the Morton house and is
talking with Claire. Vincent tells her that he is going
back to Peru, that his brother is financing the project.
She apologizes for trying to stopping him from going back.
He asks her where she belongs. She says right there in
Peyton Place. She asks when he is leaving. He admits that
he did receive the letter that she sent, that he knew
she was going to divorce him. He admits that it was the
letter that brought him to Peyton Place. She mentions
going to his hotel room.
[This must be what she did in Miami. Refer to episode 56].
Claire says, "Vincent, if you could walk those 6 feet
now?" He does. They talk. They hug. They come this
close to kissing.
Scene 4: Stella is on the square as Dr. Rossi walks up. He opens
the refuse container for her. [He could have refused to
open the refuse container for her.] She thanks him. The
fire station is seen in the background. The south doors of
the fire station are open but no firetrucks are in sight.
Two old biddies are sitting on a park bench in the middle
of the square.
Scene 5: Stella goes in the Pharmacy and orders a "Green River."
Rita says, "What?" Stella explains, "A lime and soda."
She asks Rita, "What ever happened to Calvin Hanley, did he
retire?" Rita says, "He died last winter." [in episode
48]. Steven is there at the counter and asks her, "Do you
feel like you never left." He recognized her immediately
but she didn't recognize him at first. Then she does. He
tells her that he took his degree in law. She counters
that she took hers in bio-chemistry. Steven asks if she
made Phi Beta. Stella laughs.
Steven introduces Stella to Rita Jacks who is working at
the soda counter. Steven tells them that his mother is
working for Peyton. Stella says that her mother is working
at the Schuster house. Stella says that Joe returned last
night. Steven tells Stella that they really must have
dinner some time. Steven apologizes to Rita for saying
that she was dating Norman.
Scene 6: On the wharf, Norman tries to strike up a conversation with
Mr. Kent, his new employer. Norman has an idea for a
better scraper for scraping barnacles. Kent isn't
interested. He says he has cheap tools, cheap labor, and
no overhead. He hands Norman a key and tells him to lock
up. Kent says he will see Norman the next day.
Joe Chernak walks up and asks Kent for a job. He suggests
that Joe try Atwaters Canvas. Joe asks, "Who'd you get?"
Kent says, "Norman Harrington." Kent leaves. Joe then
tries to pick a fight with Norman. Joe picks up one of
Norman's wrenches. Joe begins to annoy Norman by talking
about Rita. Norman orders Joe to get out. Norman tells
Joe that Rita is through with him. Norman is provoked into
hitting Joe. They fight. Norman comports himself fairly
well, but Joe is definately the victor.
