suddenly Betty's world has come alive again.

3:00 that morning. Carolyn asks why there are two sets of
rules. One for adults and another for teenagers. Marsha talks
to Carolyn about her pressures. Carolyn leaves saying that she
wants to take a walk.
Scene 3: Jill is walking on the wharf toward Ada Jacks' Tavern. She
goes in the main entrance, past two customers, and back into

finds Mrs. Thomas holding Kelly. Mrs. Thomas says that Rossi
told her that Jill wanted to see her. Jill takes the baby.
Mrs. Thomas asks Jill why she left the Winter's home. Jill
says, "You talked to Dr. Rossi. You know all the answeres."
They chat. Mrs. Thomas goes out in the bar area and places a
call to a Dr. Markham from the pay phone. [Obviously not Dr.
Vincent Markham. He is in Peru.] She dials 7 digits. She
asks if Dr. Markham would be able to see a baby this afternoon
for a physical. Dr. Markham is a pediatrician at the hospital.

home temporarily. She is told that Dr. Markham can see Kelly.
Mrs. Thomas goes back in the living area to discover that Jill
is gone. Mrs. Thomas asks to use the phone again. Ada
consents.

Betty tries to convince Rodney that nothing happened. Betty
says that Steven insisted that she go for a drive with him.
Scene 5: In the Winter house, Susan is at Tom's desk talking on the
phone. She is asking someone if they have seen Tom. Tom comes
in, goes upstairs, and starts packing. She says that she
wondered where he was last night. He takes off his clerical
collar, and his shirt. Tom tells Susan he found out that Jill
