[edit] Synopsis
- My name is Victoria Winters. An attempted murder has made the house on Widows' Hill the center of a web of confusion - a web that draws on many people and draws them closer to its core; a young girl tormented by increasing doubts and uncertainties; a man wavering between the opposite poles of instinct and fact.
Carolyn has a lunch date with Joe after a shopping spree; she and Maggie speak lightly (interesting) and she asks if Carolyn's meeting Burke. Maggie thinks that Sam's somehow wrapped up in things. Carolyn denies it. The Constable wants to talk to Burke; Carolyn says she's sick of the whole mess, especially Burke. Joe tells Carolyn about a boat he wants to purchase in a few months with a partner, Jerry Gerse. Burke stops by to chat and is treated coolly by Joe. Burke is reminded of his revenge speech 10 years ago against Roger Collins. Burke admits he's holding a grudge, but denies wanting to Kill Roger. Carter tells Burke that his fingerprints were on the/a wrench; Carter doesn't know anything. Burke relates his side of the events of last night (aka, eleven episodes ago). Much time is expended talking about wrenches. Burke points out that if he HAD removed the bleeder valve, he wouldn't have gone through with any plan to kill Roger after Vicki saw him, nor would he have stuck around in town after the fact. Maggie tells Carolyn that Burke wants to see her in his room... with the Constable. Burke asks her who invited him to Collinwood last night. Carolyn tells Carter that SHE visited Burke, unplanned and uninvited, SHE insisted he take her home, and SHE insisted he stay to visit the family. Carter says that doesn't prove anything. Carter leaves but Carolyn stays. Carolyn tells Burke off because of Burke's portrait; she believes he lied to her about his plans, which he claims have changed. Burke tells Carolyn that he didn’t take the bleeder valve. Someone calls Burke about a secret plan.
