Roger and Elizabeth have their row about David. He wants to
send David away, admitting that the boy might not even be his but Devlin’s!
Elizabeth has a plan and will force Roger into an elaborate lie, that David did
not remove the valve, that the car has a problem where this valve comes loose
from time to time. Sheriff Jonas Carter’s work on the case may be done, but
Roger forewarns Elizabeth that there will come a time where her protection of
David will backfire. I’m curious as to where the story goes from here. I
imagine Roger and his tension/dissension with the family will only worsen;
knowing that his son tried to kill him will continue suspicions, for sure.
Along with Roger and Elizabeth’s conversation, Sheriff Carter talks with
Fishing Fleet manager Malloy about the Collins, believing David (due to
suspicious fingerprints on the wrench) could be the one responsible for the car
crash. Burke’s name is cleared, but his presence as a nuisance and that his
imprisonment serves as a reminder that he was wronged by Roger, will not obviously
just go away. Roger and Elizabeth's hard discourse towards each other is everpresent. Roger is quite the asshole and the way he speaks about David with such a pessimistic tone only heightens Elizabeth's protection of the young lass.
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...
