Sensation returns to Rodney's left hand.
WA: The Reverend Tom Winter has served his congregation faithfully
ever since he came to Peyton Place a year ago. But the Tom
Winter in the chapel, in the hospital, in the homes of the sick
and feeble, and the Tom Winter who finds himself on a road
behind Ada Jacks' Tavern, are two different people.
Intro: Tom Winter leaves the Shoreline teen hangout. He sees Jill
walking and watches her.
Scene 1: Tom calls out, "Jill." Tom tells Jill that she needs him, that
they need each other. Jill tells Tom that his wife needs him.
Jill says that she doesn't have the ability to help him. Jill
mentions the fact that Rossi told her about the job interview.
Jill tells Tom that she doesn't love him. Jill asks Tom to
leave her alone.
Scene 2: It is Sunday. The organ is playing in the sanctuary. Eli is
sitting beside Norman waiting for Rev. Tom Winter to make his
entrance. Eli says the Almighty doesn't keep records (about
children who fidgit in church). Rita says she didn't go to
church as a child. She continues that they are lucky that
Rodney is alive. Rita says she is there because she wants to
see Rev. Winter after the service. The reverend is late, in
fact he isn't there at all.
Scene 3: Eli gets up from the pew and goes in to see Mrs. Susan Winter.
Eli asks if Susan if Rev. Tom is sick. Susan says, yes, he is
sick. She didn't feel up to telling them. Eli insists that
the people should have the plain facts. Susan finally admits
that she doesn't know where Tom is. She says that he probably
is chasing after Jill Smith.
Scene 4: Eventually, Susan comes out and apologizes to the congregation
for her husband not being there. She says lamely that he has
laryngitis.
Scene 5: In the hospital, Norman goes in to see Rodney. Norman tells
him about selling two bikes, 250cc two stroke twin. Rodney
tells Norman to drop it. Dr. Miles and a nurse come in to see
Rodney. Rodney tells them that he has just felt something in
his left hand.
Scene 6: At Rodney and Betty Harrington's converted barn-house, the
phone rings and Betty answers. Betty talks to Rodney. Norman
holds the phone for Rodney. He tells her that some feeling has
returned to his left hand. She tells him that she'll be right
there. She hangs up and leaves the house.
Scene 7: In his law office, Steven has come in to work this Sunday
morning. Susan Winter comes into his inner office and talks to
him. She tells Steven that her husband, Tom, was out chasing
Jill.
The phone rings. Norman is calling. Norman tells him that
sensation has returned to Rodney's left hand.
Scene 8: Joe goes to the door of Dr. Rossi's beach house. It is Jill
and she is looking for Dr. Rossi. She was told at the hospital
that Dr. Rossi was home. The doctor comes in and asks Joe to
get lost. Dr. Rossi offers Jill a cup of coffee. Kelly is at
the Tavern being tended by Ada. She said that Tom Winter was
looking for her, and she needs a place to stay. Mrs. Thomas is
on her case. Jill does not want to tell the Child Welfare
Bureau about Tom.
Joe Rossi comes back in. Dr. Rossi says that he wants Joe and
Jill to get back together for the sake of the baby. Joe says,
"She's impossible, really impossible."
Preview: Carolyn talks to Marsha. Susan talks to Tom. Rodney talks to
Betty.
CR: You didn't get home until 3:00 o'clock this morning. But
if I come in 15 minutes past my curfew, I get the third
degree.
SW: Tell me what happened last night. I've always told you the
truth. I've never lied to you about my drinking.
RH: I may be the oldest man in this town with partial feeling
in my left hand and and zero feeling in the rest of my
body.
