PEYTON PLACE Episode 294. 12-12-66 Steven learns of his true parentage. WA: Elliot Carson has taken advantage of the long court recess to satisfy his curiosity about Jack Chandler. He has questioned Chandler's niece, Rachel Welles, and found her deliberately vague and evasive. But her attitude has only strengthened Elliot's determination to learn all he can about the man who seeks permanent custody of this frightened girl. Intro: Leaves on the ground. Car drives up in front of the courthouse. Elliot gets out and goes up to the entrance. He watches as a Police car drives up and Rachel gets out and goes in the courthouse. Elliot follows her in. This is possibly the only good view of the north side of the bank building and Doctors Hospital. Scene 1: Constance is inside waiting. Constance and Elliot talk briefly with Rachel. Rossi walks up and talks briefly with Rachel. The police had brought Rachel back to the police station to be interviewed by a Mrs. Franks, Child Protective Bureau agent. Elliot and Constance talk with Rossi. Constance asks Elliot if Chandler may retain custody. Rossi talks with Rachel. Rossi goes inside the courtroom and sits. He turns around and sees Rachel. He gets up and takes her to the jail waiting area. Scene 2: Back in the courtroom, Lee is sitting at the defendant's table. Steven continues to question Hannah Cord on the stand. Peyton interrupts the proceedings. The Judge, Irwin A. Chester, tells Ralph, the bailiff, to remove Mr. Peyton. Ralph starts to remove the old man, but the judge relents and lets Peyton stay. Hannah says, "I would have been Mrs. Martin Peyton except for Catherine." [Hannah Cord's testimony monopolizes the majority of this episode]. Steven ends the examination by saying, "Mrs. Cord, no--further--questions." Preview: Leslie talks to Hannah. Steven talks with Betty. At the Inn, Rodney talks to Leslie. LH: It's quite possible, isn't it, that Lee Webber wasn't there, and that you pushed that poor unfortunate girl. SC: Not now. BA: When? Tomorrow, when it's over. SC: It won't be. BA: It will be. RH: You can't use me to make your bargains anymore. And you can't make me love her any more or any less by dragging her memory through the garbage heap. Judge Irwin A. Chester-Jon Lormer. Mrs. Franks, Child Protective Agency-only mentioned Ralph the bailiff-Gino De Agustino. PREV HOME NEXT
