PEYTON PLACE Episode 206. 04-14-66 Therapist, Ann Howard arrives at Doctors Hospital. WA: For the newlyweds, Betty and Steven Cord, the honeymoon is ending. The last few days have been predictably perfect and they look forward to the same perfection at home in Peyton Place. But there, they will have to work for it. Intro: Stream. Scenes around the city. Hotel that looks like the longbranch. Scene 1: Betty and Steven are in their hotel room. They kiss. Betty wants to talk about decorating. Steven tells Betty that he doesn't want her to continue working for Martin. He says he watched his mother "bow and scrape" to him all his life. And he will not watch his wife do the same thing. Steven, "the Neanderthal," tells Betty to take up basket weaving and choosing wall colors instead. Betty points out that Steven doesn't want her to work there because her Rodney lives there. Betty soothes her jealous husband with a big smooch. Scene 2: [Humorously] Norman is in front of the General Store lugging boxes as Ann Howard walks up and opens the door for him. Norman thanks her. She slithers across the town square and climbs upon the bandstand as Dr. Rossi drives up in his hard top convertible. He is about to approach her when Rita walks up and says that Ann is pretty. She asks Rossi about his little black book. He tells her all the names are crossed off. She tells him that Ann had breakfast at the Peyton Place Pharmacy. She tells Dr. Rossi that Ann takes her coffee with cream and no sugar and likes powdered sugar on her donuts. [If you watch closely as Ann descends the steps of the bandstand, you can see that the Peyton Professional building is three stories.] Scene 3: Rita looks at the Grand Opening sign and goes in the General Store. She talks with Norman about his going to college. She looks to Eli for support but gets none. Eli encourages Rita to keep nagging at him to stay in school. Scene 4: Ann Howard goes in the Book Gallery to look at the books and to talk with Constance. Constance asks Ann if she has been in Peyton Place before. Ann doesn't answer at first, then she asks if Constance has a street map of Peyton Place. Instead of going over to the map rack, as a good salesman should, Constance tells Ann where to look for it. Only then does Ann admit that she has been in Peyton Place previously. Scene 5: Rodney drives Allison over to the Shoreline Garage and proudly shows her his new business and introduces her to his mechanic, Lee Webber. Rodney says he would have never bought the garage if Lee hadn't come with it, and Lee replies that he should have asked for a raise. Rodney looks uncomfortable as he moans that he already has labor problems. Rodney announces that the garage is their future and Allison looks doubtful. Allison asks why Rodney bought the garage and he states that he needs to face the people who think he intentionally killed Joe Chernak. Allison tells Rodney that is a weird reason to buy a garage. Lee returns and announces, "Hey Rod, you're down a quart of oil." Rodney replies, "Lets put it in later." Scene 6: Ann Howard is talking to a young girl in the physical therapy room as Dr. Rossi walks in. The new physical therapist is Ann Howard and the girl is named Nancy. Ann appears uncomfortable as Dr. Rossi talks to Nancy about her arithmetic. Ann turns to Dr. Rossi and introduces herself. Rossi says he had received a memo about her arrival. Ann says that she heard he was very popular with the ladies, referring to the girls in the therapy room. Rossi tells Ann that he and Nancy are going steady. Ann relates that she had orientation from Nursing director Esther Choate the previous day and that this is her first real day on the job. Ann compliments Rossi on his new hematology research lab. He explains to Nancy what hematology is. Ann goes over to work with another young girl, Jessica. Rossi tells Ann that he noticed her on the bluff the other night. Ann is reluctant to admit that she was there. Even though Rossi is used to patients lying to him, he is confused by this obvious lie from a new co-worker. Ann tells the doctor that she has been studying the records that Russ Gehring left behind when he was forced to resign. Rossi says that he likes her technique. Ann says that she is happy to be there because she has always wanted to work with children. Rossi turns to talk with the other children as the scene and episode end.
