David, the little bastard, has been caught. He is trapped
and must figure a way out of the situation regarding the bleeder valve. In a
scuffle for the valve, Winters finally locks it away, but David will try to
convince Elizabeth that she is out to get him, tell lies, and frame him. It
might work considering David is her nephew and all. David is quite the
versatile, think-on-his-feet child because he comes up with a way to get the
valve out of the drawer. So Elizabeth doesn’t believe her, Carolyn finds the
car mechanics book that David was studying in Vicky's drawer, and Vicky now sees the whole picture
(David offered her the book “as a present”). I laugh at these developments
because to think a kid could be this good and adapt on the fly so well is

Burke interrupts what could have been a decent dinner between Maggie, her father, and Vicky, and he's sore, agenda-driven, and pointed in defending himself, while also demanding answers...answers Sam is willing to flee to protect. Sam's only link to Burke at all, besides Roger himself, is the letter he wrote to Maggie. 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...
