the_collinsport_reviewMy name is Victoria Winters.
She's come to Collinwood to unlock the echoes of her past, but they lurk in the corners and murmur in unused rooms.
Once again the creepy door to the unused part of he house opens, and this time David comes out. Victoria catches him, and David tries to give her back his letter. Victoria asks why he did it, and David says he just wanted to read it, but of course Victoria is talking about the bleeder valve, which she then shows him.
David asks where she got it, and when Victoria tells him, he says she's lying and just wants to get him in trouble. Victoria says she's going to show it to his aunt. David tries to take it away from her, and they struggle. Victoria tries to lock herself in her room, but David gets in. After another struggle she gets the valve locked in one of her drawers. David, like a small, fierce, angry dog demands to have the valve back, but Victoria says that first he should let her show him where she found it. She follows him to the door of her room, and when he's in the hall, she slams the door and locks it.
Roger goes to the police station. Jonas says he was expecting him. Roger is disappointed that Jonas didn't arrest Burke. Jonas calls Harry and sends him for his lunch, asking if Roger wants anything. Of course he doesn't. Then Jonas says they don't have the kind of evidence they need on Burke.
Victoria calls to David in the hall that his father will be coming home soon.
Jonas has gotten his lunch. He's disappointed with his condiments.
Roger insults Jonas, says that Jonas is afraid of Burke because he's rich, but the Collins family is very important in Collinsport. Jonas says that he's not going to manufacture evidence. Roger protests that's not what he meant, but Jonas tells him to go back to his big fancy house and let him do his job!
Roger wants to know if Jonas has searched Burke's room, and Jonas replies that he doesn't believe he'd find anything, since anyone who would hang onto the infamous bleeder valve would have to be a fool or a psychotic. [David Collins: Fool or Psychotic?]
David leaves the hallway in front of Victoria's room. Somehow knowing this, Victoria comes out of her room.
David is trying to leave the house when Elizabeth comes in. She stops him, wanting to know what's going on, and after some struggle, he tells her he has to get away because Victoria tried to hurt him. She grabbed at him and tried to drag him into her room. Elizabeth wants to know what David did, and he says he borrowed Victoria's letter and Victoria got mad.
Elizabeth doesn't blame her for that, but doesn't believe that Victoria would hit him. David says that Victoria hates him and is going to make up all kinds of stories about him.
What kind of stories? Elizabeth asks, and David says anything that will get him trouble, and that she'll even blame him for Roger's accident.
Just then Victoria comes into the drawing room.
Elizabeth asks Victoria if it's true she tried to hit David, and Victoria asks to speak to Elizabeth alone.
Back in the police station, Jonas comes back with a search warrant. He checks to see if Burke is in his room. Then he gets a call from Mrs. Turner who thought her dog had been stolen. Roger is speechless with disinterest.
Roger thinks he's going with Jonas on the search, but Jonas tells him he's not a law enforcement official and to go home.
David is listening at the drawing room door, but it's hard to tell if he can hear anything.
Victoria tells Elizabeth her letter being missing and going to David's room to look for it. No, she didn't find it there. She gets that far when Elizabeth asks if Victoria hurt David. No, she didn't, it was David who tried to hurt her. He was like a madman. Victoria was afraid of him.
Instead of just telling Elizabeth what she found, Victoria tries to lead up to it, and Elizabeth interrupts her, trying to speed things along. [I nominate Elizabeth Collins Stoddard for sainthood.] The accident, Victoria says, and Elizabeth doesn't seem to believe her.
Then the phone rings. It's Roger, complaining that Jonas doesn't do what he's told when he's told to. David picks up the extension in the foyer to listen. Elizabeth tells him to get over it, though not in those words, and hangs up.
She tells Victoria that the sheriff is searching Burke's room, and if he finds the missing valve, that would end their discussion. Victoria tells her that the sheriff won't find it because it's in Victoria's dresser drawer. Elizabeth is disbelieving. Victoria goes on that she remembers Roger saying how easy it is to remove that valve, that even a child could do it. Elizabeth doesn't want to hear anymore.
Victoria tells her that David became frantic when he saw she had the valve. Elizabeth says she must have made a mistake. Victoria tells her it's in her dresser drawer, if Elizabeth wants to see it. They go to Victoria's room.
Elizabeth is still skeptical; maybe she mistook it for another piece of mechanical equipment. No, Victoria say, Roger showed her a drawing of it.
Victoria unlocks her drawer, but the infamous bleeder valve is gone!
[A closely-guarded secret, a shattering truth, is finally revealed in tonight's dramatic episode of Peyton Place on ABC. Did you know that Norman Harrington once went into the kitchen to make toast and was never seen again?]
