Now Marsha hurries into the courthouse building to see Dr. Rossi, and to try to ease the burden of what she is convinced is a false accusation.

Scene 3: Susan Winter goes in to Ada Jacks' Tavern to talk to her ex-husband Tom. She says that Rossi needs to dump Steven, and get an expensive lawyer. She says that her father will be glad to help.
