Steven searches for answers concerning his heritage.
WA: It has been a matter of hours since Michael Rossi learned of
the violent death of Ann Howard. And for the first time he
is alone. Alone with the nightmare of his loss. Alone with
the hunger for retribution. Now to feed that hunger, he has
gone to pay a call on the one person who hated Ann.
Intro: Rossi drives over to the Webber house. He gets out of the
car and knocks.
Scene 1: Sandy opens the door. Dr. Rossi insists on seeing Lee. He
asks Lee where he was in the afternoon. Sandy intrudes. Lee
is sorry for what happened to Ann. But he is also sorry for
what Ann did to Chris. Rossi accuses Lee of trying to kill
Chris. He also accuses Lee of killing Ann. Rossi tells Lee
that the police picked up Chris walking on the beach. Rossi
slugs Lee.
Elliot arrives with Chris. Lee tells Elliot to get Rossi out
of there. Lee asks Chris what he was doing on the beach.
Elliot tells Lee to get Chris out of those wet clothes.
Scene 2: Rodney shows up at the mansion and asks Steven if anyone had
called him. Steven says, "About what?" Rodney tells Steven
and Betty that Ann Howard fell off the bluff. Betty wants to
get Steven a drink. Steven declines. He asks if Ann fell.
Allison found her at the base of the bluff. Chris Webber was
found walking on the beach. Allison was searching for Chris
on the beach. Rodney says he wants to go home. Steven asks
why Chris was walking on the beach.
Rodney tells Steven that he had seen Ann Howard earlier in
the day. Ann had come to the mansion to talk with Hannah.
Steven talks about Hannah and Ann, mother and daughter
meeting after 28 years. Rodney says that they should talk
the next day. Rodney says he wants him to know that he is
deeply sorry. Rodney leaves.
Steven says that things would have been different if they had
grown up together. Steven tells Betty that he will make
Martin and Hannah pay.
Scene 3: Chris and Lee talk at the Webber house. Chris says that Ann
was a very nice human being. Chris asks Lee how he reacted
when he found out that Ann was dead. Sandy joins them.
Chris mentions the night that Lee almost kicked in Ann's
door. Chris mentions that Allison found Ann's body.
Scene 4: At the apartment, Rita offers Rodney some coffee and ice-box
cookies. Rodney talks with Norman and Rita. They talk
about Ann, Lee, Peyton, and Mrs. Cord. Rodney says that Ann
ran from the mansion. Rodney says there is something missing
about the story of Ann and Steven.
Scene 5: At the mansion, Hannah is sitting in an easy chair reading
the Clarion newspaper as Peyton walks up and begins
interrogating her. Hannah tells Peyton that Rodney doesn't
respect him any more. Peyton says he heard Hannah leave. He
asks where she went and what she said to Ann Colby. Hannah
doesn't want to talk about it. Peyton asks why she is so
upset. Peyton asks Hannah how she explained her failure as a
mother. Hannah says she told Ann that she hated Brian Colby.
That he had taught art in a girls's school and that Colby had
an affair with Catherine. Peyton says that now Colby will go
to Steven and fit the last missing piece in the puzzle.
Peyton looks at the Clarion headline and calls to Hannah:
GIRL PLUNGES TO DEATH OFF BLUFF
Peyton asks if she told him the whole story. Hannah says that
she went for a walk. Peyton says that he doesn't believe her.
Hannah says that she had nothing to do with Ann's death.
Hannah leaves. Peyton picks up the phone and tells chauffeur
Thomas to bring the car around to the front door at once.

to Hannah.

brother and I want to know the truth.

somebody did.
MP: What makes you so certain no one ever has?

death, may heaven help you, you'll pay for it.
