Chandler tells Lee to leave the money at the boarding house. Lee leaves. Harrington comes in and speaks to Frank, calling him by name. Leslie and Chandler glare at each other and Lee leaves. MEL: [One reason why Lee is confident that he would be hired is because Peyton congratulated him when the murder charges against him in the case of Ann Howard were dropped. It always seems strange that Peyton did this, because he couldn't forsee Thomas' getting married and resigning his chauffeur position and Lee applying for it. In a sense, the congratulations were really for Steven Cord and his legal abilities. Some things just seem to work out for the better.] Scene 5: Steven and Betty are talking in their bedroom in the Peyton house. Betty tells Steven that he is upset about the Boston trip. Steven is annoyed that Peyton had to show her the house where Steven grew up. Betty says, "I am your wife." Steven was never proud of being the child of a domestic.
