PEYTON PLACE Episode 327. 04-11-67 Rachel visits Jack Chandler at the boarding house. WA: Steven Cord, as a young man who lived most of his life unaware of his true heritage, now that he knows he's the grandson of Martin Peyton, he's determined to claim the dignity that comes with the Peyton dynasty. The authority, and the money to use the authority. But Steven saw Martin Peyton crudely put down another grandson, Rodney Harrington, as a means of placing Steven in favor. Steven is determined to make sure that Rodney understands the rules of war. His rules of war, not Martin Peyton's. Intro: Steven walks along the wharf toward the Shoreline Garage. Scene 1: Steven goes in the Shoreline Garage to talk with Rodney. Rodney sits down at the typewriter to make out a bill. Steven apologizes for what their grandfather said to Rodney the previous evening at the family dinner at the Colonial Post Inn. Steven says that Peyton was rude. Rodney says that Steven doesn't have to act as mediator. They talk about living at the Peyton house. Steven says he always gets a kick out of just dropping by the garage. He leaves. Scene 2: Lee Webber sees Steven and asks if he can take him somewhere. He tells Steven that he dropped the old man off at the mill. They swap barbs. Steven tells Lee to get off his back. Steven walks off. Scene 3: Betty comes in the Book Gallery and speaks to Matthew, calling him Slugger. [Later in the series Susan Winter calls Fred Russell Slugger.] Rachel is running the store and introduces herself to Betty. She tells Betty that this is Matthew. Betty warns Rachel about Lee Webber. Rachel asks Betty if Lee killed Ann Howard. Betty says she thinks so. Betty said that she was never close to Allison. Scene 4: Lee sees Chandler on the wharf and asks for the five dollars he won on the bet about becoming chauffeur to Martin Peyton. Chandler says he's short right now. He evidently didn't know that Lee was the driver of the car that he left the puppy in. Chandler asks Lee how he met Rachel. Lee said that somebody left a puppy in the car. Lee invites Chandler in for a drink. Lee asks Chandler if he put the puppy in the limo. Chandler leaves. Chandler calls Lee a jailbird. Lee wants Chandler to set up a date for him with Rachel. Chandler grabs and threatens Lee. Lee says that Chandler has awful strong feelings for just her uncle. Scene 5: In the bedroom, in a rented Tux, Elliot Carson is practicing a chamber-of-commerce speech. Rachel's puppy, named "Puppy," brings the "JF" belt buckle to Elliot. Rachel said that she had found it and that the puppy liked to play with it. Rita is now watching. Constance is wearing a snazzy black evening gown. Elliot examines the belt buckle. Rachel takes the puppy in the nursery. Rita is staring at Rachel. Rachel had found the belt buckle in Chandler's farmhouse, in Chandler's work clothes. Scene 6: Mary admits Leslie into the mansion and asks him to wait while she checks to see if Peyton will see him. Peyton is in the livingroom wearing his red smoking jacket. Leslie asks Peyton if he has changed his will, dis-inherited his sons. They argue. Leslie says that Rodney will grow with his influence. Peyton says, "My chauffeur's wife has more influence over your grease-monkey son than you do." Leslie is furious. Lee comes in and asks if everything is ok. Peyton asks Lee to escort Leslie to the door. Lee ushers him out. Peyton dismisses Lee, "Goodnight, Webber." Scene 7: In Mrs. Hewitt's boarding house, Chandler is packing his suitcase as he hears a subdued knock at the door. It is Rachel carrying three books. She says, "Hello, Uncle Jack." She asks if she can come in. She says she can only stay for a minute. He says that she can stay as long as she likes. Preview: Rita talks with Norman. Elliot talks to Lee. Leslie talks with Betty. RJ: If I'm going to die, I'm going to die. NH: You're not going to die. RJ: Then stop treating me like you're afraid I might. EC: I was sent to prison for something I didn't do. You were turned scott free for a crime, that as far as I'm concerned, you committed. LH: I have to know what's in that will. BA: You let go of me.
