WA: For the past few days, Peyton Place has been engaged in a public quest, the search for the missing Allison Mackenzie. But this morning, Chris Webber has a quest of his own. He must find out what part his brother, Lee, played in Allison's disappearance. For only in that manner will he know how much of the blame he must place upon himself. MEL: Lee has been re-jailed because he talked with Allison, a potential witness in his murder hearing. One of the conditions of bail was not to have any contact with potential prosecution witnesses. Allison was last seen at the end of episode 263. Intro: A Police car drives up in front of the courthouse. Chris goes into the jail to visit his brother, Lee.

He has come to see Rodney at the Shoreline Garage to close out Ann Howard's account on the car he sold her. They go inside the garage and Rodney asks, "That was April, wasn't it?" Rossi says "Late April." The bill is $83.00. Rodney says it isn't necessary for the bill to be paid. Rossi says its necessary for him.
