     David is reading the history of Josette Collins, when Vickie comes looking for him and he hides from her. He reveals some of his life with his fighting parents.
     Patterson surprises Roger, who knew nothing about Matthew’s attack on Burke, when he comes to call. I wonder why he doesn’t know and is it important?
     David accuses Vickie of trying to hurt his friend Burke, runs out and into his father who has returned home.
Roger has decided to befriend his enemy and sweet talks Vickie. He also sweet talks David. It becomes apparent that David has a plan to get rid of Vickie. The whole exchange between the two is really quite amusing. 
     Carolyn and Vickie chat. She is mad at Joe because he had to work and she wanted to go on a lunch date. She doesn’t want to marry him now, but then he calls and asks her to dinner. All is forgiven.  The spoiled child side of her is definitely dominate today. Really quite an enjoyable episode.

     Roger says he will talk to Burke alone and then goes on to say he has nothing to add about the trial and Bill’s demise.
     In a total change of pace, Vickie is writing a letter to herself. She reveals to Elizabeth she started writing them a a lonely child in the foundling home. Elizabeth looks distressed when Vickie says nothing much happened to her until she came to Collinwood. She still wants to find her parents. Elizabeth says, “ Isn't it enough, to know that you are here now?” Vickie misses what Elizabeth has implied.
     Downstairs, Roger says he was home later than he was and gets Vickie to back him up. Burke is furious that his plan didn’t work. Does all this drama over a few minutes really matter? There would have to be some witnesses or evidence to back it up. Even if Bill was pushed, anyone could have done it. Burke implies that he will be back to take over the great house.

     Carolyn confronts Mother over Maggie’s visit and telling her that Burke is capable of murder. Matthew lurks at the Blue Whale as Burke walks in and grabs his arm. Their talk ends in a schoolyard scuffle and then the sheriff enters and send them to his office. 
     In the office, there is much ado about Bill. Burke keeps insisting it’s murder.  Patterson send Matthew out in the Hall and lectures Burke to mind his own business. Burke is sent to his hotel and Matthew is to no longer bully Burke.
      Meanwhile, in the Drawing room, Elizabeth revisits what Burke is saying about Roger. Carolyn resists believing Burke is a bad boy. There is a knock on the door and Elizabeth expects Matthew, but it’s bad boy Burke.
     

     Sam and Burke talk in Burke’s room about why Sam left the party. Sam wants to settle things. Vickie has also left the so-called party and Roger confronts her about what went on. Vickie reveals they talked about the manslaughter.  Roger recites his version which Vickie points out differs from Burke’s.
     At the Hotel, Burke and Sam go on and on about the manslaughter and Bill.  Burke feels Mallory’s death was murder.  Burke has come to conclusion that Roger is guilty.
     At Collinwood, Roger wants Vickie to believe he left the house later than he actually did. He tries to talk her into taking a job in Florida. She goes upstairs and he leaves. 

  Guess who’s coming to dinner? Vickie, our heroine in her Nancy Drew guise.  Before this we are treated (?) to David Ford holding the chalkboard with cigarette dangling in hand. 
     The action starts with Maggie and Vickie arriving at the Evans cottage. Vickie finds a painting that looks like her and becomes obsessed over it. Then she tells Maggie about seeing the ghost in the doorway at Collinwood I’m liking their interaction so far, but dreading the arrival which has been spoiled by the opening shot.
     Burke storms into the sheriff’s office and demands answers. I’d like to see the Sheriff haul him off to a cell and say,” until you get a grip on yourself, you’ll be staying here.”
     Sam arrives and reveals that the picture is of Betty Hanscomb who died before Vickie was born. Sam remembers the accident. Burke was really drunk and drove off with Roger and Laura. A man was killed in hit and run. Is this the first time Laura’s name is mentioned? The seem to always refer to her as David’s Mom or Roger’s wife.  Then Burke shows up uninvited at the little dinner party.

Sam is at the Blue Whale.  Surprise! Joe comes in and gets a beer and joins Sam for some daytime drinking as the plant is closed. Sam grills Joe about where Sam went in the sea. Joe leaves to take Carolyn for a ride when the sheriff comes in. George takes Sam to his office and Sam sticks to the know nothing story.
At Collinwood, David studies tide charts with hopes of pinning the death on his beloved father. Carolyn joins him and he reveals he finds Collinwood fun. “What other kid gets to live in a house full of ghosts.”   He says he has lots of friends.  Joe arrives and helps with the charts.  David answers the door to the sheriff. 

     It is revealed that the restaurant is on Main Street.  And here is where we pick up the story as Maggie and Burke chat. Bill gave Burke his start on the boats. Maggie realizes she has to break the news of Bill’s watery demise.  Burke goes out in the hotel lobby to use the mysterious moving phone booth.
     Burke leaves. Enter Vickie. She has come for lunch with her new pal Maggie. They rehash their first conversation when Maggie warned her from the people and place of Collinwood. Vickie needs answers to her past!
     Burke goes to Patterson. He is told not to leave town.  Burke tells about the meeting with Roger and Sam. Mallory’s watch stopped at 10:45.  Now the sheriff does not seem to consider that the watch may have been purposely stopped at that time or that it could have broken while being banged about in the water. Malloy drowned and suffered a blow to the head. They are unsure then he was dealt the blow. Should the Sheriff really be sharing this with Burke?
     Maggie offers a free lunch to Vickie. They talk of Lobster rolls and clam chowder.  I don’t recall it being on the reader board menu; maybe it’s on the printed one?
