Lee applies for job as chauffeur to Martin Peyton.
WA: Rachel Welles has left the home of Elliot Carson and his wife
Constance. She has long known that the man who calls himself
her uncle, Jack Chandler, has a connection with the Carsons'
missing daughter Allison. Yet, if she reveals this explosive
information, to anyone, she and the Carsons face the violence
of Jack Chandler. As a result she must go through the motions
of deciding she must leave the Carson house because she's being
interrogated constantly by Elliot Carson.
MEL: Between episodes 318 and 319 Lee Webber is hired as Martin
Peyton's chauffeur. Dr. Rossi calls on Rita.

Written by Ann Marcus and Lionel E. Siegel
Directed by William J. Hole Jr.
Scene 1: Rachel gets out of the car and goes up to the apartment of
Norman and Rita. Constance explains to Norman why Rachel has
come to visit. Rachel and Constance hug and Constance leaves.
Rachel still has her puppy with her.
Scene 2: Rodney is working on a red car as Leslie comes in. Leslie
wants to know why Rodney has moved out of the Peyton house.
Leslie says he heard about it from his ex-wife, Betty. Leslie
says, "I'm proud of you son. I always will be. Now why don't
you go after what you want, so you can be proud of yourself,
too." Leslie leaves.
Scene 3: In Ada Jacks' Tavern, Leslie Harrington calls Ada over to his
table. He asks her about Rita and Norman. He gives Ada $50.00
to buy something nice for Rita to wear. He tells her he gave
Chandler a job at the mill. She knows Jack Chandler is Jack
Forrest. Ada says, "Come off it Leslie. You know Jack
Chandler. Don't give me that. Why did you hire him, Les?
You've been laying guys off at the mill for the past year."
He avoids answering and leaves.
Scene 4: At the Colonial Post Inn bar, Chandler is talking with Frank,
the bartender. Lee comes in and sits down by Chandler. The
bartender is rude. He says to Lee, "You must be lost." Lee
shows him some money. The bartender brings his drink and gives
him five minutes to drink his drink and leave. Lee shows
Chandler his manicured fingernails. Lee has cleaned himself up
and is wearing a suit. He tells Chandler he is going to get a
job as Martin Peyton's chauffeur. Lee talks with Chandler and
makes a $5.00 bet about getting the job. 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. Mary comes
to their door and speaks to Betty. Mr. Peyton wants them to
join him for coffee. The door chimes ring.
Scene 6: Mary goes to the door and admits Lee Webber. Steven comes down
the stairs and starts to throw Lee out. Peyton shows up in his
wheelchair and tells Steven to let Webber in. Peyton and Lee
Webber talk. Lee applies for the job as chauffeur. Peyton
talks with Lee Webber. They leave for a demonstration drive in
the limousine.
Preview: Elliot talks to Chandler. Norman talks to Rossi. Peyton talks
to Steven about Lee.
EC: I want to know why you are hanging around.
JC: I haven't committed any crimes.
EC: Since when?
NH: She's too worried. I told her it's not good for her.
Is she all right, doctor?
MP: Lee Webber killed my granddaughter.
SC: Well then, why bring him here?
MP: Now we'll have to make our own justice. Won't we
Steven.
