PEYTON PLACE Episode 287. 11-16-66 WA: Rachel Welles, in a single violent moment has shown those people closest to her, how deeply she fears to return to the custody of her guardian. A single violent moment and Rachel has forced Dr. Michael Rossi to take her back to Doctors Hospital where she knows she will be under his care and his protection, at least for the time it takes to examine and bind her wound. To the young Harringtons, the incident can only add to their guilt, their feeling of responsibility, too loosely taken. To Dr. Rossi, the incident pulls him irretrievably into the life of this frightened young girl. Intro: Rachel picks up a surgical knife and stabs herself in the wrist, and arm. Scene 1: Dr. Rossi asks Rachel if she has had stitches before. He injects novocaine into the cut so it won't hurt. Rachel compliments Dr. Rossi on his sewing skills. She says that Chandler married her aunt Lucy just to get the farm. Chandler sometimes used his belt on Rachel as punishment. Rossi asks if the cabin where Norman and Rita found her is what she refers to as that special place. Rossi asks Rachel to tell him everything that happened. When Rossi gets through bandaging Rachel, he hugs her. Rossi promises Rachel that she won't have to go back to the farm with Chandler. Scene 2: Rossi, Rachel, Rita, and Norman go out in the hospital corridor. Rossi asks miss Choate to take Rachel to the second floor and get her settled. He goes to the phone and asks the operator to get Steven Cord for him. Rossi again asks miss Choate to take Rachel to the second floor. Miss Choate takes Rachel to the elevator. [The elevator was just an ordinary door in the early B&W episodes. A water fountain has been added to help clutter the corridor and a "Quiet Please" sign has been posted above the fountain.] The operator tells Rossi that Steven Cord is at Ada Jacks' Tavern. Scene 3: Rossi goes to the phone and talks to Steven Cord. Steven asks how to go about getting a restraining order against Jack Chandler. Steven says he is tied up with Lee Webber's preliminary hearing. Steven suggests contacting Ted Dowell who he says is much more of an authority than he is in matters like that. Scene 4: In the backyard of the Carson house, Eli talks to baby Matthew about the seven seas and the actual thirteen seas. Four great oceans, Pacific, Indian, Artic, and the Atlantic. Elliot complains to Constance about Eli talking to the helpless baby all afternoon. Eli promises Matthew that he will build him a boat when he gets older. Scene 5: Betty is sitting at the desk, writing a letter, with her left hand. She moves a pillow, adjusts the poker chips on a table and goes to the door. Steven comes in and stumbles. He shows signs of being sobriety challenged. She seats him on the couch. Betty asks if he would like her to fix him something and if he would like to talk. She tells him that she went shopping today. Not for antiques, for houses. She mentions the Boison's place out on the ridge is for sale. It needs work, carpets, and drapes, but has a terrific view. Steven tells her that he went to Ada Jacks' Tavern. Betty says that Ada called her. Steven will have to cross examine Peyton. She tells Steven to let it all out. Preview: none Miss Collins, nurse.
