Entirely set in Collinwood, this four character set has Elizabeth trying to convince Carolyn that this obsession with Burke and her anger with Vicky are ill-advised. Roger confronts his son, David, about the ghost of Malloy and what Vicky said about the experience. David tells Roger that Vicky knows something which is why Malloy visited her. David also tells him he is the one who killed Malloy, with Roger slapping him. David, of course, makes more out of it than it was, telling Liz Roger was trying to kill him. That slap, I must say, was all too real, and such an authentic-looking moment kind of had a bit of potency; the kid takes in right on the cheek. Roger wants Vicky gone, while Liz tells Carolyn that Ned Calderon once loved her. Ned proposed, Liz waited too late, stringing him along as Carolyn does Joe, and by the time she was ready he had moved on. Liz admits that Carolyn's father married her for the Collins fortune and title, although she did love her husband.

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...
