WELCOME, GORDON RUSSELL! According to one trivia page, this was his first script. I do like the voiceover he gave AM, which concerns "those at Collinwood who wear many masks."
Julia and Dave Woodard all but get into a shouting match because Julia won't give him a good reason for her what he refers to as her "unmedical activities." Julia tells him she's on the verge of a great discovery, and whoever helps her will share in the glory. But she is trying to protect not just Dave but also Sam, Joe, and Maggie herself. Please trust me just a little longer, Julia pleads. Lately she seems to be asking a lot of people to do that.
Poor Sarah is crying because she's lost her friend Maggie. Maggie Evans is dead, David tells her. No, she isn't, Sarah insists. I just don't know where she is. David asks her home for supper, but she says, People don't like it when I come. One wonders how many people at Collinwood she's tried to approach in her unique loneliness over the years--and how many of them she unintentionally frightened. With utter matter-of-factness, she tells David, You know all about leaves. I know when people are alive or dead.
Burke and Julia meet for the first time, and he's just as skeptical as Elizabeth was, especially given the yarn that Julia spins for him. She's saved from further questioning by Vicki, who burst in announcing that she's fallen in love--with a house by the sea.
Although she's uneasy, Sarah comes home with David, who leaves her in the foyer to tell everyone he's brought a friend home. But when everyone follows him out to the foyer, Sarah has gone. But Vicki finds her little cap lying on the floor.....
