WA:       Gus Chernak moves slowly and solemnly to his final resting 
          place.  Perhaps it is only chance that the procession passes

          standing trial for killing Gus Chernak's son, Joe. 
          
MEL:      Allison cuts her hair on Rodney's 21st birthday.  Stella is 
          recalled in the next episode after Dr. Rossi testifies.

Scene 2:  In the courtroom, with Judge Irwin A. Jessup presiding, John 
          enters peoples exhibit twelve, a voluntary signed statement by 
          Rodney Harrington, witnessed by Sgt. Edward Goddard.  Steven 
          objects and is overruled.  John reads from Rodney's statement.

Scene 4:  Russ Gehring is finishing up with another patient, Jordan, as 
          Allison wheels in.  In her wheelchair [fauteuil roulant], 
          Allison casually mentions to Gehring that the driver that 
          hit her was a woman.  Gehring tries to get her to use her 
          crutches, not the wheelchair.  He is rough with her so Allison 
          screams for a nurse.  Her hair is still long at this time.  
          A contract dispute was the real-life reason for Mia Farrow 
          cutting her hair.

          Stella.  She quotes Rodney as saying, "Tell your brother that 
          I'm going to take care of him."  I said is that a threat.  
          "That's exactly what it is.  When I catch up with your 
          brother, I'm going to finish him off.  I'm going to kill him."

          MF:  You're not making it easier for me.
          JF:  Do you think it's easy for me?  You think that just because 
               I'm willing to make an effort to save our marriage, I have 
               no pride as a man? 
                                                 
          SC:  You have worked closely with miss Chernak.  Is that correct?
