WA: Marsha Russell's former husband, Fred Russell, has died,
following surgery for a severe skull injury. And the man
Marsha had planned to marry, Dr. Michael Rossi, has been
arrested, booked, and jailed on a charge of suspicion of murder
in connection with Fred Russell's death. 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.
Intro: Marsha Russell drives over to the courthouse and goes in.
Rossi sits up in his cell, seeing Marsha approach, stands up
and puts on his suit coat.
Scene 1: In his cell, Rossi is standing and talking to Marsha. She
kisses him. They sit and talk about Rossi's dilemma. She says
that Carolyn will be all right.
However, Steven Cord joins them and tells them that bail has
been denied. Steven leaves. Rossi understandably is rather
disappointed.
Scene 2: Eli climbs the steps to Maggie's house, knocks, and is let in.
Eli again asks Maggie Riggs to marry him. She tries to take
her old ring off. It doesn't seem to budge. She says "Yes,
I'll be Mrs. Eli Carson." Joyfully, Eli announces to the
world, out the front door, that Maggie has agreed to become
Mrs. Eli Carson.
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. She says that Steven is too busy trying to get his
hands on the Peyton money to do justice to Rossi's case.
Scene 4: Dr. Miles and Steven are in the courthouse having seen Dr.
Rossi. Alma Miles greets Steven and then leaves.
Scene 5: Mrs. Miles invites her potential daughter-in-law, Vickie to
stay with them.
Scene 6: In his jail cell, Dr. Rossi is visited by his potential
step-daughter, Carolyn Russell. She sits on the cot and talks
with him. Carolyn apologizes for the way she acted at the
hospital.
Preview: Steven talks to Marsha Russell about Fred Russell's
philandering. Betty talks with Norman about the Peyton money.
SC: I thought your embarassment about Fred's adultery was over
by now.
MR: Steven, obviously I am not getting through to you.
SC: Are you still worried about this kind of testimony coming
out in court?
BA: Why should you let Steven walk off with what's yours?
NH: If you can't have the money you can't stand the thought
that Steven might get it.
BA: Can you?
