[edit] Synopsis
My name is Victoria Winters. The death of a friend of the Collins family has been written off as accidental. But in this great and gloomy house there is still one man searching for something. Something he fears might connect him to the death that is thought to have been accidental.
Roger tries to retrace his steps to find the pen; he gets caught by Vicki who is looking for David, who has already been to the Collinsport Inn and back. Vicki suspects David's going to The Old House. Roger asks Vicki if she's heard anything more about hiring Mrs. Johnson; Roger wants Vicki to dissuade Liz from the hiring. Roger dislikes strangers--especially those with local connections. Liz walks in on him and questions his right to make such decisions. Roger is upset that Liz seems to have everyone else's happiness on her mind; he wants her to spend more time with David, while Liz wants Vicki to spend time with Carolyn. Vicki convinces Carolyn to call Joe to foster an apology. Roger gets Liz to say she's going to reconsider.
Roger asks if Carolyn's sure she gave him back the pen. She is, and suggests he lost it on the way. Roger goes to search on the cliffs. Carolyn is happy that Vicki's plan worked. Liz wants more help around the house, forcing Carolyn to once again suggest Mrs. Johnson. Liz asks Carolyn about Burke's attitude toward David. Carolyn thinks Burke just tolerates David, but David worships Burke. Joe shows up for a date with Carolyn. Joe asks Vicki if Carolyn knows about his dancing with Maggie; Joe says he'd fall for Vicki if he hadn't already fallen for Carolyn. Roger doesn't like Joe, to whom Liz speaks about the future. Liz is very interested in his future and subtly offers hints about a promotion (sadly, partly due to Bill's death). Roger is peeved that he is being sidestepped in the decision. Roger prevents Carolyn from entering the Drawing room. To spite Liz (and Joe and probably Carolyn), Roger tells Carolyn that Joe and Maggie were together at The Blue Whale on 'a date'. Carolyn tells Liz off and confronts Joe--she breaks up with him. Carolyn confronts Vicki, who explains what really happened. Carolyn goes for a walk.
Liz dispatches Roger to get Carolyn, then calls Mrs. Johnson and invites her to Collinwood. In Vicki's room, Vicki's discovery needs more ink. Roger learns she found a pen on the beach after she tells him that Carolyn's at Lookout Point.
