Betty and Rodney are married. Hannah surprises Steven Cord.
WA: Steven Cord has been tricked. On the assumption that he was
about to be given information on the sale of the Peyton mill,
Steven accepted a ride with William Kennerly, Jr. one of Martin
Peyton's Boston attorneys. Now, Kennerly has ordered his taxi
to stop in secluded spot outside town and Steven has been
informed he has an appointment. An appointment with an unknown
visitor.
Intro: A yellow Peyton Place Taxi Service cab driving on a narrow road
just outside of Peyton Place.
Scene 1: The cab pulls over and William Bill Kennerly, Jr. tells Steven
that he has an appointment.
Steven goes over to the limousine and says, "Mother." He talks
with Hannah Cord. She says she still thinks of him as her son.
Hannah tells Steven that Martin is in a Boston clinic. She has
been in the south of France. She hands Steven the bracelet
from the portrait to give to Betty. She tells him that Peyton
sent the message for Steven to leave Betty and Rodney alone.
Hannah says it is too late for Steven to respect her.
Scene 2: In the manse, Susan is about to take another drink as the door
chime rings. She admits Marsha and Carolyn. They have come to
see Tom Winter. Marsha says that she saw the cars but she
didn't realize he had a wedding today. Tom says, "The grooms
don't always show up, but I think its a good idea that the
preacher is there, just in case." Marsha and Carolyn
wait in the living room.
Scene 3: Inside the Wayside Church sanctuary, organ music is heard and
the wedding ceremony commences. Steven comes in late and
trades glances with Susan. Eli has escorted Ada to the
wedding. Norman, Rita and Dr. Rossi are there, also. The
wedding goes off without a snag.
Scene 4: Outside the chapel, Rodney helps Betty into the convertible.
Norman says, "Lets go get the loot." Steven walks over and
gives Betty a small package. Betty tries to refuse it and
tells Rodney to drive off. Susan goes over to Steven and says,
"Hey, loser, you buying?" He says, "Why not?"
Scene 5: Marsha and Carolyn Russell are still waiting in the living room
of the manse. Marsha runs her finger across the piano keys.
Rev. Tom Winter returns and she tells him that she and Carolyn
had a talk and they will not have to bother the Reverend any
more. They have arrived at a compromise. They are not
leaving, now, and when the time comes, Carolyn will not be such
a drag about it. Marsha and Carolyn thank Rev. Winter and
leave.
Scene 6: At the Inn, Steven and Susan are drinking. Steven asks if Tom
owns a gun. She says no. Susan asks what he was doing. He
says, the same thing he is doing now. Susan almost expected
Steven to do the "If any man thing." Steven says, "She's
mine." Steven says, "I thought I was crazy." Susan says, "Maybe
we both are."
Preview: Rita talks with Norman. Rodney talks with Betty. Marsha talks
with Carolyn.
RJ: Norman, All this money. $50,000, look. We got all this
money from grandfather Peyton.
RH: Let's start fresh, huh? Let bygones be bygones. Is that
what he said?
BA: We have to believe that he meant what he said for our own
sake.
RH: Then what did he crash our wedding for?
MR: What can you possibly see in him? You're not going out
with him.
CR: I am going out with him.
