WA: Night in Peyton Place. A restless Sandy Webber is alone once
again, without her husband.
MEL: [In episode 302, Hannah torches the portrait of Catherine
Peyton, a copy of the one originally painted by Brian
Cord Colby, setting the mansion on fire and almost
killing Martin Peyton. If you haven't seen that portion of
the series yet, you should, of course, try to disregard this
comment.]
Intro: Rodney walks along the wharf to his boat and goes aboard.
Sandy approaches.
Scene 1: Sandy goes over and asks Rodney to take her along for a ride
on his boat. She says that she hates sunday. He tells her
to go home. She settles herself in by Rodney's boat. She
begins to do a number on Rodney and he says he doesn't want
what he can obtain so cheap. Sandy says, "Hey, wait a
minute. Don't call me cheap." She says that big old
wavy-haired Rodney is afraid of Lee. She asks him if Lee is
"tougher than Joe Chernak. You know, the one who was going
to beat you up from here to Boston. Only you killed him
first." He tells her again to get off the boat. She
continues. This teasing finally gets to Rodney and he grabs
the hair at the back of Sandy's head and gives her a big
forceful kiss. Sandy walks away pleased with herself, that
she is making progress.
Scene 2: Meanwhile, over at Ada Jacks' Tavern, Elliot is talking with
Ada. Eli starts to sneak out but is spotted by Elliot. Eli
goes over and asks Elliot if he had been fighting with
Constance. Elliot says that is not the only reason a man
goes in a bar. He starts talking about sailing. Eli says a
man has the right to get off somewhere by himself. And even
to take his father. Elliot says that he has never felt more
guilty.
Scene 3: Chris Webber taps his way to the Clarion for the purpose of
placing an ad for a reader. He knocks and goes in. Chris
asks if they are still open. While there he meets Allison
Mackenzie. He immediately picks up on her "little girl
voice" and asks her if "Daddy is letting her play editor of
the Clarion." Allison offers him a chair. Chris says, "I
came to take an ad." Chris asks for her help in phrasing it.
Allison says that she may be able to save him the price of an
ad. Allison begins to read to him. It is apparent Chris is
charmed by her voice and he gets into a "face feeling"
session. He tenderly announces that she "Well, you have a
clear face, perhaps a little serene. And the eyes feel blue.
Did I embarass you? You are not homely, you're not pretty,
but beautiful." Allison asks If she can read without his
going to sleep that she can have the job. Allison asks if he
can tell what she looks like. Allison gets the job as reader
to Chris.
Scene 4: Steven Cord and Betty are entertaining Martin and Hannah as
dinner guests at their new house. Peyton asks to see the
rest of the house. He gives Betty a trinket. Betty kisses
Martin Peyton. Hannah asks Steven if he is happy. Hannah
observes that she and Steven were never close. Hannah tells
him that she raised him hard so he could stand up
against Martin Peyton. She says that everything she did for
him was to make him a man. Martin asks about the ongoing
investigation for that unfortunate girl [Ann]. He
shows great interest in the whereabouts of her father, Brian
Colby. Peyton tells Steven that Betty has taste as well as
beauty. Peyton asks Steven what he hopes to accomplish by
the investigation. Peyton asks if Brian Colby is in Peyton
Place. Steven says no. Peyton asks Steven to go outside and
tell Thomas that he is ready to leave. Betty says that she
will get their coats. Steven goes outside.
Scene 5: Dr. Rossi and Ann Howard are dining at the beach cottage. He
compliments her on her cooking. He says that he is going to
throw away his chef's hat and apron once and for all. She
tells him about her failed marriage to Jack Howard. She
tells Rossi that she met Brian Cord in college. She needed a
strong man and he needed a strong woman to lean on. But they
were too young. Ann alludes to the song They try to tell
us we're too young. "But stories about nervous
breakdowns and talk about accidents on bluffs didn't make her
a strong enough person."
Scene 6: Hannah and Martin leave Steven and Betty's house, near the
wharf. Steven compliments Betty, telling her that she was a
perfect hostess. He relates to Betty how he used to think he
might possibly be Martin Peyton's son. He now knows that he
is not Peyton's son but wonders why Hannah is acting so
strange. He knows it has something to do with Ann Howard.
Betty looks devastated as she turns off the lights for bed
time.
Scene 7: Returning to the mansion on the hill, Thomas tells Peyton
good night. Hannah and Martin argue about the "Ann Howard
situation." Martin tells Hannah that her uneasiness about
the fact that Ann is Steven's sister, makes her look foolish.
Martin goes up to his bedroom while Hannah goes over to glare
at the portrait of Catherine. She picks up a letter opener
from the writing desk and slashes the portrait.
[In episode 284, Peyton announces, "I'll just have another
one made, and another, and another."]
