[edit] Synopsis
- My name is Victoria Winters. Here in Collinwood, I sit in a quiet room teaching the son of a frightened man—a man who seems to be impelled by constantly growing fear.
Roger claims to be at Sam's to have his portrait done; Bill jokes. Roger leaves; Bill compliments Sam's late wife. Carolyn gets a call from Burke about her ring and arranges to meet him at 12:30. Bill switches from coffee to booze, he's a man after Sam's own heart. Bill plies Sam with liquor. Roger and Burke encounter one another at the restaurant, where he notices Carolyn's ring (a gift from her Uncle Roger on her 16th birthday). Roger takes the ring and forbids Burke from seeing Carolyn. Roger shows up at Collinwood and cancels Carolyn's date. Carolyn meets with Burke and they play mind games. Carolyn calls home and says she won't be home soon. Before passing out, Sam admits he's the thin line between Roger living in Collinwood and prison stripes.
