Rachel moves in with the Carsons.
WA: Tonight, Rodney Harrington convinced Rachel Welles that she
should accept the offer made to her by Constance and Elliot
Carson to move into their home, his own second home when his
own life centered around Allison Mackenzie.
Intro: Rodney drives Rachel to the Carson house.
Scene 1: Rodney and Rachel talk for a while still in the car. Rachel
says that Mr. Carson doesn't believe her. They get out of the
car. Rodney escorts Rachel to the front door and rings the
Carson door Chime. Constance seems surprised but welcomes
Rachel into the house. Elliot welcomes her also. Rodney says
he can't stay. The three go up to Allison's bed room. Rachel
expresses concern that Elliot doesn't want her. Rachel picks
up some of Allison's toys and dolls. Then she picks up
Matthew. Constance excuses herself to fix coffee. Elliot
thanks Rachel for changing her mind.
Scene 2: Rachel pushes the pram around the square. The townsfolk gather
to look at Matthew. She heads for the General Store.
Scene 3: In the General Store, Eli has just put some wood in the stove
as Rachel goes in to see him and to show him his grandson. Eli
says that stove sitting is a lost art. They play the almanac
game. Eli says that Iceland is one of three countries that
doesn't have an army. As Rachel is leaving, Norman comes into
the General Store. Norman asks Eli if he is a betting man.
They talk about snow. Norman says he bets it will snow
tomorrow. Eli goes outside to test the air and make a few
scientific observations. Norman and Eli walk across the street
to the square and to the bandstand. Norman repeats that it
will snow tomorrow.
Scene 4: Lee goes into the Cider Barrel to annoy Sandy. He asks her if
she has noticed that "on a clear day you can see the Shoreline
Garage" from there in the Cider Barrel. Sandy is drying
glasses and mugs. He orders coffee. The sign says Coffee
10 cents. Another sign says Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich
20 cents. Lee asks if Sandy is coming home after her
shift. Lee says that the only man who congratulated him was
Martin Peyton. He pays, says, "Keep the change," and leaves.
Scene 5: The phone rings in the Carson livingroom and Rachel answers.
It is Rodney calling from the Shoreline Garage. He asks her
how she is getting along. Matthew starts crying. Rodney asks
Rachel for a date. She says, "Not tonight." Rodney says,
"Another time."
Sandy Webber comes into the Shoreline Garage while Rodney is
still on the phone. When he hangs up she starts hitting on
him. Sandy inquires of his grandfather Peyton. Rodney reminds
her that she has a husband. He asks her to stay away. Sandy
says, "If being married means having a life together, I'm as
single as you are." Sandy looks out the window and sees Lee
ride up on his motorcycle and talk to a lady wearing a black
coat, white hat and white gloves. No plot follow up on this.
Scene 6: Lee comes into the hospital and asks miss Choate, who is caring
for Mr. Peyton. Steven comes in and Lee asks how the old man
is doing. Steven and Lee walk up to Dr. Fielding's office.
Lee introduces himself to Dr. Fielding. Fielding doesn't tarry
long. Steven gets a drink of water. Lee gets a drink of
water. Lee asks Steven what was in the box that he gave the
doctor for Mr. Peyton. Steven tells Lee he hates him. Lee
says, "Want to go another round like we did at the Shoreline."
Preview: Steven talks with Betty. Lee talks with Chris. Leslie talks
to Rodney.
SC: No bargains, remember that.
BA: I just want you to be sure. That's all I ask.
Because when you've taken the first step, there's
no turning back.
LW: I wanted to talk to you this morning but you left so
early. What was your hurry?
CW: I can't stand being in the same room with you.
LH: There's a new world and Steven Cord's creating it. We
can't let that happen, Rod. We both lose. Both of us.
