Elizabeth and Victoria are at odds over David. Elizabeth is
having a hard time accepting David could ever attempt to kill his father, even
for a moment or two implying Victoria could have done it. Living in denial
often contributes to such naiveté, but eventually Carolyn talks some sense into
her and Elizabeth apologizes to Vicky for being difficult towards her. That is

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...
