Tom Winter convinces Jill not to leave.
WA: Tonight, Carolyn Russell is looking for an escape. A way out
of the intense pressure she feels. The pressure of her
mother's divorce. A simple opportunity presents itself. A
local rock band is playing at a nearby discotheque. And
Carolyn accepts a casual invitation to drop in. All in all, an
escape that is routine and acceptable. One that her mother
would approve. Except that the discotheque is located off the
wharf, very close to the Harrington Brothers Bike Shop, and Joe
Rossi.
Intro: A pickup truck with sideboards carrying a sign advertising the
Pillory Rock Band, rounds the corner and stops. Carolyn gets
in the back with two other girls. Joe walks up and almost gets
hit by Norman riding on a motorcycle.
Scene 1: Joe Rossi fusses at Norman. Rita sticks up for Norman. She
says that Norman was doing a road test. Rita invites Joe to
join them at the Shoreline. He says it is not his bag. But he
sees some girls going in and he decides to join Rita and
Norman.
Scene 2: Inside the noisy Shoreline teen hangout, Nancy is singing and
playing the guitar. Carolyn Russell is there with some of her
friends. Rita asks Norman to dance. Joe Rossi tries to cut in
on Dennis and Carolyn. Carolyn says she wants to continue
dancing with Dennis. Norman intercedes, Joe backs off and a
fight is averted.
Scene 3: At the manse, Jill is preparing to leave. Tom Winter walks up
and asks why she let Joe make love to her. Jill denies that
anything like that ever happened. Tom insists on knowing how
he failed her. Tom eventually talks her out of leaving. Jill
and Tom go upstairs as Susan watches.
Scene 4: In Betty and Rodney Harrington's converted barn-house, Betty is
trying to move furniture. She almost tips over a hutch. She
calls for help from Rodney. Rodney takes his sweet time coming
down to rescue her. He picks her up and carries her upstairs
to bed.
Scene 5: In the Russell [Carson-Mackenzie] house, Dr. Rossi is sitting
on the livingroom sofa as Marsha brings him a cup of coffee.
Marsha says that he is the first man that she has entertained
since her divorce. Marsha seems to have the same television
set that Constance Mackenzie had in this same room. Carolyn
comes home escorted by Jeff Kramer. Marsha greets Jeff by
name. Carolyn mentions that she noticed an ambulance
outside.
Preview: In the hospital, Jill cries as Tom comforts her. Carolyn talks
to Marsha. Steven talks with Rodney.
TW: Jill, don't cry.
CR: You can forget about daddy and go out with whomever you
like. If it's Dr. Rossi, that's just fine. But Joe Rossi
is off limits.
SC: I bug you. I always have. But now more than ever.
Because we both slept with the same woman.
RH: Get out.
