Lee Webber finds Rachel's puppy.
WA: The slow and quiet turn of the season from winter to spring has
gone unnoticed by at least one resident of Peyton Place. Today,
Jack Chandler holds Rachel's small dog in his hands. He has held
the dog in his possession for some time, ever since he picked him
up outside the home of the Elliot Carsons. Exactly why he picked
him up is locked deep inside his instinctive feelings about Rachel.
Feelings which are now shared by Lee Webber, for an entirely
different reason. Webber is determined to win back his wife, Sandy.
Intro: Chandler walks west along the street past Les Femmes and the Book
Gallery, holding Rachel's puppy. He is about to pass the Clarion
as a police car drives by. He quickly puts the puppy through the
front right window of Peyton's limousine which Lee Webber has parked
in front of the Clarion. Lee Webber, whistling, comes out of the
General Store with a brown paper sack full of purchases. He almost
brushes shoulders with Chandler.
Scene 1: Lee puts the sack through the middle window and finds the puppy
on the front seat of the Peyton limousine. He talks briefly to
the puppy and gets in the limousine. Chandler is seen watching.
Lee gets in the limousine and drives off headed east past the Book
Gallery.
Scene 2: Dr. Rossi without his medical bag goes in to see Peyton. He tells
Peyton that since he is now Chief-of-Staff of the hospital, he has
decided to turn Peyton's case over to Dr. Fielding. Peyton
threatens to withdraw support from the hospital. Rossi tells him
not to make threats. He asks Peyton why he hired Lee Webber, the
man who killed Ann Howard, Rossi's fiancée and Peyton's granddaughter.
Scene 3: In the Carson home, Rachel picks up the phone and answers it. Lee
Webber is calling from the Peyton mansion, to say he has found her
puppy. He asks her to come over to the Peyton house, where he works
and lives, to get it. He tells her that his name is Lee Webber.
He again tells her to come over and he will give her the puppy.
Scene 4: Leslie drives over to the Shoreline Garage and goes in. Rodney has
one foot on his desk and is reading the sports page. Leslie asks
Rodney to go have lunch with him. Rodney says that he has already
eaten. Rodney asks Leslie if he needs his gas tank filled. Leslie
asks Rodney to go to New York with him to learn how the mill business
is run. Leslie says he wants to share what he has learned with Rodney.
They talk about Martin Peyton, Sandy Webber, and Steven Cord.
Scene 5: Norman comes into the apartment, with the brown paper sack full of
groceries, and finds Rita asleep on the sofa. Rita wakes up and offers
to fix lunch for him. Norman says he doesn't want her to strain herself.
Constance, carrying baby Matthew, knocks and Norman lets her in. Rita
holds the baby for a short while and hands him back to Constance. Rita
agrees to baby-sit Matthew that night about 7:00. Rita says she is not
ill, she is just tired. Constance says she should probably talk with
Dr. Rossi first. Rita thanks Constance and Constance leaves. Rita
says to Norman, "Thanks a lot."
Scene 6: At the General Store, Eli is checking out Mrs. Linden, the saleslady
from the Les Femmes botique. She has purchased $7.31 of merchandise
including a mop. Elliot peeks through the window. Mrs. Linden leaves.
Elliot comes in to ask Eli to help in investigating Chandler. Elliot
has gotten the personnel records on Chandler from Leslie. Eli first
says to leave it alone, but eventually agrees to help.
Scene 7: At the mill, Leslie comes into his office and his current receptionist,
miss Harris, tells him Mrs. Cord is waiting to see him. He tells Betty
that he will not release the reports without a written request. Betty
says she will tell Peyton and she starts to leave. Miss Harris tells
Leslie that the reports are on his desk. He gives the reports to Betty
and she leaves. Leslie dictates memo number 424 concerning Kennerly
and the Peyton estate. He asks miss Harris to get all the papers on
the Peyton estate and bring them to him.
Scene 8: At the mansion, Lee Webber is tending the puppy as there is a knock on
the front door. He goes upstairs through the livingroom and opens the
door. It is Rachel, who has come for her puppy. He points to the door
bell button and tells her to ring, not knock. Lee sits on a footstool
in the livingroom and brushes the tips of his shoes. She tells him that
if he gets that on the rug, it won't come out. Lee says that they can
get another rug. She asks if Mr. Peyton is there. Lee tells her that
Peyton is getting some sack time. She asks where the puppy is. They
talk. He asks if she is Rodney's girl. Rachel says she is not Rodney
or anybody's girl. Lee says he wants to take her out on a date. She
asks for her puppy. Lee opens the door to the basement and they go
down where the puppy is. Rachel sees the puppy and runs over to it.
Rachel tries to give Lee the $10.00 reward from her purse. He doesn't
accept it. He wants to go out on a date with her. Rachel is frightened
and tries to run out. Lee stops her and forcefully kisses her. She
runs up to the livingroom through the double doors. Lee vaults the sofa
and catches her.
Betty comes in the front door which helps Rachel to get away from Lee.
Lee offers to give Rachel a ride home. Rachel declines. Betty comes
in and Lee grabs her chin with his right hand putting his thumb on the
center of her chin. Lee tells Betty that nosy girls are ugly girls.
Preview: Rodney talks to Steven. Peyton talks with Leslie. Jack

you are.
