Eddie Jacks leaves town on the bus.
WA: Tonight Dr. Michael Rossi, accused his young brother, Joe, of
coming to Peyton Place, not just to hide, not just to pick up a
relationship with his brother, but to force Dr. Rossi to pay
for leaving the family home so many years ago. Dr. Rossi's
anger touched off an explosion, an explosion inside of Joe.
Intro: Dr. Rossi is seen through the windows of the beach cottage
walking to the front door. He unlocks the door and goes in.
Scene 1: Dr. Rossi tells Joe that he just wants to know the truth. The
point is that Joe thought the police were going to lock him up
because of his fight with Eddie Jacks. Joe says that he could
have run off. Joe mentions the warehouse and Rita. Joe tells
off his brother. Joe prepares to leave. He carries his duffle
bag to the door. Michael tells Joe that he can stay.
Scene 2: Eddie comes into the Tavern area from a back room, wearing a
very nice looking suit. He has a bandage on his right forehead
from the fight with Joe Rossi. Rita comes in the front door.
Eddie greets her, calling her princess. Rita tells him that
she does not want Eddie to go to the police. She says that if
he goes to the police then she will have to go also. Rita says
that Joe never laid a hand on her. Rita leaves. Eddie drinks
a cup of coffee.
Scene 3: In the Carson home, Elliot is on the phone. He says there is
no answer so the baby sitter must be on the way. They talk
about getting rid of the clothes. Constance doesn't understand
why Rossi didn't tell them the truth, that it was not Allison's
child. Elliot hears a car drive up. Constance says that she
thinks that Kelly knows she is leaving today. Constance goes
to get Kelly as the door chime rings. The baby sitter is
Laurie, the Cider Barrel Laurie, the tall blonde. Laurie says
the room is locked but Constance doesn't open it. Elliot goes
up to find the door still locked.
Scene 4: Ferris wheel is revolving, on the square, across from the
pillory. In front of the Chamber of Commerce Building and the
bank. No one riding. Tom and Susan drive by the pillory, turn
left and park. They get out of the gray station wagon. Susan
Winter calls out, "Oh, Mr. Cord" to Steven. Susan tells Tom
that she can save him the trouble of checking on the luncheon
at the Peyton house by riding over there with Steven. Steven
comes over and agrees without enthusiasm to take Susan to the
luncheon. Eli comes over to talk with Tom Winter. He says he
needs a man's opinion because the women are so traditional.
Tom's mind is elsewhere, so Eli excuses himself and goes back
to work.
Scene 5: Rita comes in the Tavern talking a blue streak, knocks and
calls through the door to her father. She opens the door but
her father isn't there. Ada is sitting on the bed. Rita
listens as Ada reads the farewell note from Eddie.
"Princess, like the man said, that I'm ever late.
I wanted to help you. I wound up hurting you.
I guess I just got started too late with you and
your mom. And I've been running out of the money
ever since. Even a pure bred sucker like me can see
it's time to quit. So put everything you have on Norm.
He's got what it takes to make you a winner. Pop."
Ada sums up her thoughts by saying, "I never cared for that
fast talking, slowing working, no good bum."
Scene 6: Eddie, carrying a suitcase and an overcoat, walks up to the
Interstate Bus and hands the driver a large bill, possibly a
twenty. The driver asks, "Where to?" He says, "As far as it
will take me." He tells the driver he wants a one-way ticket.
The driver tells him to get on, he is behind schedule. Eddie
gets on the bus followed by the driver. The bus pulls out.
Eddie waves goodbye to the town. He still has the bandage on
his forehead. It wasn't explained what happened to his jalopy.
Eddie drove his jalopy in the previous episode. Ada drives a
large Cadillac.
Preview: Joe talks to Jill. Tom talks to Susan. Constance talks to
Jill.
JR: What about me? Twenty bucks a week. I mean that entitles
me to something.
JS: It's called child support. That's what it's called.
TW: Mr. Cord is not being too cooperative. That may be your
one problem, Susan. Mr. Cord may just be too discrete to
suit your purposes.
SW: Anything for sweet charity.
CM: Don't try to do it alone. Find someone, Jill, who loves
Kelly, as much as you do.
