WA: Today, this small New England town is covered with a snow fall
that seems to muffle all the sounds of quiet desperation. Rita
Jacks Harrington and her husband, Norman, want to shout.
Although Norman stepped into a bitter argument between Lee
Webber and the blind Chris Webber, only to be accused of
intrding. The irony has left a bitter taste.
Intro: Rita walks past the Shippers Office toward the Tavern carrying a
chowder pot, with a bail. Children are in front of the tavern
building a snow man. Norman gets hit by a snowball.
Scene 1: Norman knocks the head off the snowman with a snowball. He then
runs the children off, saying that he is mean and this is his
territory. Norman replaces the snowman's head. The children
throw snowballs at Norman. Norman and Rita continue to walk.
Rita is returning the chowder pot to her mother, Ada, from the
Harrington's party last night. Rita asks Norman is he is still
bothered about last night. He admits that he is. Rita goes in
the Tavern.
Scene 2: At the mansion, Mary, carrying a folding rule, has just given
Betty a width dimension, 46 inches, as Rodney comes down the
stairs. Rodney asks Mary where his duffle bag is. She tells
him that it is at Norman's. Betty asks Rodney where he is going
to live. Rodney explains that he is going to live on the wharf.
And that it will suit him just fine. Betty says it sounds
comfortable and that he will have more freedom. Rodney says,
"The parade of beauties won't have so far to walk." [This is
possibly a reference to Sandy Webber.]
Scene 3: At the Book Gallery, Constance is talking on the phone to Dr.
Michael Rossi in New York City about Matthew. He will be back
in a couple of days. She allows that he deserves a rest. She
says they all miss the doctor very much. Elliot and Rachel
come in with Rachel pushing the pram. Constance says that they
just missed Dr. Rossi. Rachel wants to know when Dr. Rossi is
coming back and if he asked about her.
Scene 4: In front of the Pharmacy, Rodney talks to Rachel, who is
attending to Matthew in the pram. Rodney asks if he can push
the pram. They go in the Pharmacy, Rodney pushing the pram and
Rachel following. All the patrons at the soda fountain counter
turn around to look. Rodney and Rachel sit and talk. Rodney
asks Rita to heat a bottle of milk and then feeds it to Matthew.
Scene 6: Police Sgt. William Wilson Walker comes in to Ada Jacks' Tavern
to bring the gun license to her. After he leaves, Ada opens
the drawer and finds the gun missing from its holster. She
tries to think what could have happened to it.
Scene 7: Steven comes to visit Peyton in his hospital room. Peyton wants
some advice, legal advice. Steven complains about being pulled
away from a conference. Peyton says the police consider the
fire at the mansion to be arson. Steven says that he has no
desire to see Hannah Cord in jail. Peyton offers Steven his
legal affairs again.
Scene 8: At the tavern, Steven talks to Ada about the missing gun. Ada
allows that she thinks that Lee Webber took the gun. [Ada is
wearing two different colored strings of beads.] Ada says that
Lee has the morals of a garbage pail. Steven leaves and Mario
[Freddy] rudely asks for a beer.
Scene 9: Steven Cord walks over to the Lee Webber house and rings the
bell. The scene ends with his finger on the door bell button.
Preview: Chandler talks with Rachel. Eli talks to Elliot. Leslie talks
to Betty.
JC: You keep your mouth shut about where you found their
daughter's bracelet, or ...
RW: If you ever touch this child, I'll kill you, Jack Chandler.
Eli: Are you concerned about Rachel, or the girl herself,
or only for what she can help you find out about Allison?
LH: You have the power if you want to use it. Remember,
you can't hurt the father without also hurting the son.
