Joe wakes up from his drunken stooper with a hangover and
regret for things he might have said (he doesn’t remember his accusations towards
both Carolyn and Elizabeth), but insistent that he will not apologize for
anything pointed towards Burke Devlin. Meanwhile Victoria meets with Burke,
wanting to know why he has been investigating her past and curious if this has
turned up anything new. Perhaps even a romance could be starting as Burke, with
money and connections, agrees to help investigate possible links to the Collins
family, who the “mystery anonymous source” that told Roger she would be a good

the foundling home so that Vicky could be well taken care of. Clearly Burke is

middle of a hostile environment, caught between two rivals. But if Burke could
get her answers to a mystery that has been denied her for 16 years, that could
offer much in the way of a possible relationship down the road… Maybe there is a way for Vicky to reach the end of the rainbow after all.
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...
