          Martin Peyton.  Twisted and turned by his grandfather's 
          fiancée, Adrienne Van Leyden.  Tonight, Steven is 
          determined to find out whether or not his growing suspicion is

          Rodney Harrington.

          Rodney.  Steven dumps Rodney's bed.  He accuses Rodney of 
          knowing about the reason why Adrienne was brought to Peyton 
          Place.  They scuffle.  Rodney hits Steven. 
        
Scene 2:  On the square, steam is boiling out of the radiator of Eddie's 
          jalopy.  A kid asks Eddie how much he wants for this wreck.  
          Eddie Jacks goes up to Steven Cord's office.  He introduces 
          himself to Steven.  He has information about the background of 
          Adrienne Van Leyden.  Eddie says if Peyton marries, Norman and 
          Rodney will miss out on a fortune.  Eddie says, "Bye bye 
          money," and leaves.

          over.  He assists the old man walk down the stairs.  Martin 
          sits down to rest.  Elliot Carson rings the door chimes.  Mary 
          opens the door and shows Elliot in to see Peyton.  Elliot says 
          that weddings bore him.  Elliot wants more information about 
          the wedding for the Clarion.  Adrienne comes in and Elliot 
          introduces himself.  He gives her the third degree.  Peyton 
          asks Elliot to leave.  Adrienne puts Elliot on.  She tells 
          Elliot that she met Dr. Van Leyden while on a safari in Africa.

          her about Steven coming to talk to him.  Steven is watching. 
          The light blue Plymouth convertible looks like the one that

Scene 5:  On the wharf, Eddie gets a cup of cider and almost leaves 
          without paying for it.  The proprietor reminds him.  He goes to

          secretary to tell him that Mr. Jacks is calling.  He tells

          thanks him.

          satisfied with Rita's physical condition.  Norman explains how 
          his dislike for Eddie is causing a problem with Rita.  Norman 
          goes back to work. 

Scene 7:  Rodney and Betty are driving out in the country side.  They 
          park, get out, and walk over to a wooden fence.  Rodnny tells 
          Betty that she has been very quiet.  She tells a story about 
          her father.  Rodney suggests that Betty go to Boston and get an 
          apartment and not tell Steven where she is.  They sit on a 
          bench and continue to talk about their love-hate relationship.  
          She wants to get away from Rodney and Steven.  Rodney kisses 
          Betty.  They drive back to town.

          SC:  Now, you know how important this hearing is to me.  To us. 
               You've agreed to work with me.  I need your help. 
          BA:  Do you, Steven?  Have you ever really needed anything from 
               me? 
    
          EJ:  You've got it all.  There's only one thing that you 
               haven't got.  And that's somebody who cares about you. 
          MP:  You crawled back here because you smelled money.  My 
               money.
