WA: Today, the Rev. Tom Winter united Rodney Harrington and Betty Cord in marriage, in the presence of the bride's former husband, Steven, and of his own wife Susan. While the other guests lingered to offer their congratulations, Steven and Susan escaped to the Inn. There, over a drink, each made a frank admission to the other. Steven that he will never under any circumstances give up his claim to Betty. And Susan that she will drive her husband to admit he is a man before he is a minister. She will put Tom's human frailty to the test even at the price of moving his young secretary, Jill, into their home. Intro: Steven is walking Susan home. They were having drinks at the Colonial Post Inn, following the wedding of Betty and Rodney. Scene 1: Tom Winter is in the chapel, collecting wedding programs that have been left behind by guests. Susan begins to help him tidy up. She admits to Tom, "I was a bad girl." She admits that she shouldn't have run out on him after the wedding ceremony. She tells Tom that he should have his secretary doing the cleaning up. She further suggests to Tom that Jill should be moved into the spare room in the parsonage with them. Scene 2: In their room at the Colonial Post Inn, Betty is admiring her reflection in a mirror. She calls to Rodney to help her with a button. He comes over and helps her. Betty is dressing for a party. Rodney is annoyed that Steven delivered Martin Peyton's gift for them. There is a knock on the door and Betty says, "Come in." A waiter comes in with a bottle of champagne and uncorks it. Three violinists follow him in and begin to serenade the happy couple. Scene 3: Ada is tending bar as Norman and Rita come in the Tavern. Rita asks Ada if she wanted a church wedding for Rita. Norman asks Ada if he could help her by working in the bar. With the mill being sold, he will need a job. Ada asks if he has discussed this with Rita. Ada hands them the receipt for the $50,000 from Peyton. Ada says that Eddie wanted to make sure that Rita's future was secure. Scene 4: As Norman and Rita are leaving the Tavern, Steven comes in. He walks over to the bar and dumps a sachet full of rice on an octagonal table. Steven tells Ada that Rodney and Betty did not appreciate Steven Cord coming to the wedding. He was not invited. Scene 5: Steven walks over to Betty and Rodney's new converted barn house. He slowly walks past an elevated water tank and goes into the partially converted barn through a Dutch door. He picks up an automobile trouble light and looks around. He goes upstairs. He picks up a large poster of Rodney and Betty, apparently placed there by Norman. He throws it on the floor. This barn house is located very near the Shoreline dance hall and cafe and the Shoreline Garage. Scene 6: Marsha Russell is talking on the phone with Mr. Bateman, the real estate agent, and she tells him that she needs a house for two or three months. Bateman suggests the Robinson house on Elm and the Carson house on Seaberry Lane. The door chime rings.
