[edit] Synopsis
My name is Victoria Winters. Barely twelve hours have passed since Carolyn Stoddard and I had thought the tragic legend of Collinwood had become a reality. And that we had seen a dead body lying at the foot of Widows' Hill. Twelve hours that have brought no answers either to me or to her.
At noon, Carolyn gets up and drinks some lukewarm coffee. Liz gives her the watch which Joe found (it's still running!). Liz tells Carolyn that she and Vicki were right, there was a dead body on the cliff. Carolyn answers the phone and tells Liz that they just found Bill Malloy's body. (They are touchingly upset.) Liz tells Carolyn of Matthew's horrific act and she's mollified. Liz tries to explain Matthew's reasons for his acts; she also dislikes Carolyn's questions. Roger and Sam meet up at the Blue Whale and Sam tells him the body has shown up for definite identification. Carolyn tells Vicki, who used to make up to 130 beds a day at the Foundling Home. Vicki's story depresses Carolyn, who delivers the news about Malloy. Roger tells Sam that he'll do anything he can to find Malloy's murderer, if Malloy was murdered. Carolyn’s thoughts are with death and Malloy, as she recalls his wish to spend a month on a tropical island sans worries. She tells Vicki to chase her dreams while she still has time. Liz wants Carolyn to go into town to find Roger to tell him about Malloy. Vicki decides to meet with Sam Evans. Sam worries about piling lie on lie; Roger flatly states his guilt and that Sam has info that would clear Burke Devlin and implicate him. Roger tells Sam that had Malloy lived to tell his story, Sam would be imprisoned as an accessory after the fact. They both seem to agree that there's reason to lie. Carolyn wonders if Malloy will make the family history and Vicki seems to remember her mission at Collinwood and again thinks that Sam may have a clue to her identity (due to Roger's reaction to her meeting him). Roger closes the plant for the day. Roger pretends he's not upset when he learns Vicki is going to meet with Sam Evans.
