Kelly's birth certificate arrives.
WA: Young Joe Rossi has told his brother Dr. Michael Rossi that he
is the father of the baby Jill Smith brought to town. It was a
claim made in anger. Still the doctor knew it could be true.
Intro: Joe Rossi walks away from the Shoreline Garage along the wharf,
then he goes up the steps to the apartment house to see Jill.
Scene 1: Joe goes in Jill's room and asks her where the baby is. She
refuses to tell him where Kelly is staying. They talk for a
while and he roughly kisses her. Jill claims that the baby
isn't hers. They argue. Joe insists that he wants the truth.
Scene 2: Joe is working on the Receiving and Shipping loading dock
as Eddie is standing in the way, interfering with the loading
of 55 gallon drums. Eddie's overcoat seems to have a purple
tinge. Joe asks Eddie again to move. Eddie says that he is
there to talk with Norman. Norman comes out talks with Joe and
Eddie. Joe introduces himself. Eddie says that he wants
Norman to come home around lunchtime.
Scene 3: Rita is reading as Ada knocks on the door. Rita ignores the
knock but Ada comes on in anyhow. Ada says that Rita looks a
mess. They are both wearing purple. [Like Eddie Jacks
overcoat]. Rita counters that Norman likes her without makeup.
Ada talks to Rita about her losing the baby. They have a
lengthy mother-daughter talk.
Scene 4: Rodney goes to the Peyton house and talks with Steven about
baby Kelly's birth certificate. Steven is sitting at the
dining table drinking coffee. Steven says that it arrived this
morning. He said Rodney should have called before he came
over. Steven shows the birth certificate to Rodney but says he
can't keep it, because it belongs to the Carsons.
Scene 5: Constance is tending Kelly as Elliot comes home. She closes a
photo album, probably of Allison or Matthew. Elliot says he
needs to go to the courthouse. Elliot talks about Matthew
sensing the fact that another baby is taking up his mother's
time. Constance takes the birth certificate out of the
envelope and says it is odd that Allison listed her mother's
maiden name as Mackenzie. It was Swain, like
Matthew Swain.
Scene 6: In the General Store, Eli is tending Matthew as Jill comes in.
Eli lets Jill hold Matthew a while. Eli says that Matthew has
had a busy day. Elliot, Constance, Kelly, and Steven Cord walk
out of the courthouse and across the way. From the General
Store, Jill says sarcastically, "There goes the new family."
Scene 7: Steven comes in his office and finds Betty. She talks to
Steven about Kelly's birth certificate. He tells her that she
will have to go to the courthouse to see it. They talk about
the impending marriage of Betty and Rodney. Steven says the
meeting at the courthouse was a preliminary meeting.
Preview: Rossi talks to Joe. Jill talks to Steven. Betty talks to
Rodney.
MR: You lied to me about everything. You're going to level
with me now. You understand? 100%. You're going to tell
me everything. Who you're running from and why. And what
it has to do with Jill Smith.
JS: You used me. You saw a way to break up what Rod had going
with your wife and you used me. That's the only reason
you talk to me. Isn't it?
BA: I said I would make a home for Kelly. But there's only
one thing I can't do, not ever. I can't love her.
