Roger, in an exterior shot, walks across the dock to his office. Roger calls Burke worried about Malloy. In the conversation a random reference to David’s gift from Burke. Roger feels it’s inappropriate due to David’s imagination.
Back at the mansion, Elizabeth asks Matthew how he could have pushed Bill out to sea. Matthew says he thinks Bill drowned and he did it to protect Collinwood.
Burke bursts into Rogers office. Roger is evasive as usual. Dart’s get thrown during the conversation. Burke says Roger owes him five years. Are we supposed to feel sorry for Burke? He was wronged, but he’s using Carolyn and David to get revenge. He reminds me of Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights in that respect. Except there is no great love in his life. If that had been Elizabeth, who had chosen to go a safer route (or so she thought) to marry Paul over a younger and poorer Burke, it would have added more dimension to the story.
George, the new sheriff, comes to Collinwood. He questions Matthew. Elizabeth summons Roger home.
George wants to question him.
