Carolyn may be wavering in her support of Burke. Malloy
confronts Burke over his knowledge of private detective, Wilbur Strake, and,
like Roger in the previous episode, makes accusations about his wanting revenge
against the Collins, not to mention, his possible cause of the car wreck. The
secret of Victoria’s past as it relates to Elizabeth is once again addressed
(appropriate considering I had just made a recent comment about how Victoria’s
storyline had been practically written out and forgotten) and Mrs. Stoddard
once again will not allow this topic to occupy her time, evading questions directed towards her. You can see that Elizabeth is beleaguered
by the Roger car crash, mentioning that she wants Carolyn to pack up and leave
before the dirt starts to come out into the open. Burke is certainly prepared
for anything Malloy hurls at him, even claiming that he’s in the area on
business, eyeing another cannery not too far from Collins Port (a devious grin
implies he relishes the thought of competing with the Collins in the fishing
industry). Of course, Burke proclaims his innocence, takes all the accusations
almost in stride, and seems ready for whatever his accusers have to dish out.

He escapes out the back door while the others were in the living room and heads to Collins Port Inn where the letter is kept but the owner will not give it over to him. The letter is Maggie's and she will have to give permission before Sam can get his hands on it. Malloy's death looms large and will not go away--especially as long as Burke steamrolls throughout Collins Port, pissed off and unrestrained. He wants to know Sam's connection to the wrongful conviction and isn't about to just forget his presence at the meeting that night. Maggie just cannot believe that her father had anything at all to do with Malloy's death; Sam and Malloy were fr...
