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.
