Rossi takes Carolyn to the lobster market on the wharf.
WA: Tonight, Lew Miles is fighting the clock. In a very short time
his father, Dr. Harry Miles, will fly to New York City,
suspicious of Lew's activities there months ago, convinced
that Lew is in serious trouble as a result. Now, Lew must make
a decision, whether to rush to the airport and stop his father
and tell him the whole story, regardless of the implications,
or let him go, hoping and praying that he uncovers nothing.
Intro: Lewis Miles walks In the snow over to the Walker house.
Scene 1: Lew rings the chime and police Sgt. William Wilson Walker opens
the door and invites him in. He asks to see Joanna and
compliments Walker on his new TV set. He says it has a good
picture. Sgt. Walker tells Lewis that he has had it four
months, and that Lewis hasn't been over for a while. Lewis
then talks with Joanna Walker. She presses him for what
happened in New York. Lew leaves.
Scene 2: From a pay phone booth on the wharf, Lew calls the airport and
asks the operator to page his father on flight 21. He
apparently intends to fess up. He is too late. The plane has
already left.
Scene 3: Eli drives up in a white over blue car, stops, and gets out.
He goes around to the other side and helps Mrs. Riggs out.
From the skates they are carrying, it is inferred that they
have been skating on The Pond. There was no actual
scene of their skating. They agree to call each other by their
first names. [As our readers probably remember, The
Pond had a lot of meaning in Betty Anderson's life. This
is where Betty acquired Rodney's spermatozoan.]
Scene 4: Eli and Maggie drive up in front of the General Store go
inside. They chat about the kids skating on the Pond and that
she took a minor spill. Tom Winter comes in the store to get
some supplies. Maggie remembers where she had seen Tom Winter.
Eli tries to stop Maggie from talking about the church. She
then start talking about her late husband. Tom's bill comes to
$1.94. He charges it. She continues to ramble on. Tom Winter
leaves and Maggie Riggs rambles on. Coffee. 2 pounds of
sugar. A few cans of pork and beans. [Although Martin Peyton
is obviously a very religious man, it appears that Peyton Place
does not pay their clergy very well.]
Scene 5: At the Peyton Place high school, the children are moving from
class to class, in the narrow halls. Jeff Kramer talks with
Carolyn. [At this point in time, major infractions were talking
in class, chewing gum, and expectorating on the floor].
Scene 6: Chuck Atwell drives Rodney home to his and Betty's house near
the Shoreline garage and helps him in the house. Atwell helps
Rodney remove his coat. They chat briefly and Atwell leaves.
Scene 7: At the Colonial Post Inn, Betty is sitting at a side table,
drinking coffee and reading a copy of the Peyton Place Clarion.
Susan comes into the restaurant to eat. Susan asks Betty if
she would like to have a drink. Betty declines. Susan annoys
Betty with her talk. Betty receives her check. Betty asks
Susan about Steven. Betty leaves. The waitress comes over and
Susan asks her for a little more vodka in her tomato juice.
[Our spiritual authority assures us that the correct way to
order is as follows: "I'd like a tomato juice and vodka. Easy
on the tomato juice."]
Scene 8: Dr. Rossi takes his prospective step-daughter, Carolyn Russell,
to Charlie's Lobster and seafood market. Tommy Magnuson asks
them if they have made up their minds about the lobsters. He
assures them that the lobsters will be ready when they return
from the Cider Barrel.
Scene 9: In the Cider Barrel, Fred Russell is waiting for Carolyn.
Rossi goes back to Tommy Magnuson's Lobster Market. Fred has a
lengthy talk with his daughter.
Preview: Rodney talks with Betty as Chuck Atwell comes over. Betty says
that she can not live this way. Fred asks Jeff if Carolyn is
seeing Lew.
RH: Don't press me. This is hard enough.
CA: Mrs. Harrington, we've got to be going.
RH: Nobody said this was going to be easy.
BA: I know that, but I can not live this way.
FR: What are you trying to tell me? That my daughter and
Lew Miles are seeing one other. Is that it?
JK: That's it.
Tommy Magnuson, lobsterologist-Charles Thompson.
