Burke and Roger quarrel as the search for Vicki continues
Synopsis
- My name is Victoria Winters. The lights are burning late tonight at Collinwood for my disappearance has caused great alarm. There are those who search for me... but their search may be in vain for my captor has hidden me well. They looked for me here. They were so near that I wanted to scream to them from within secret room. But my hopes are dimming now. For Matthew will surely not fail this time to take my life.
The search continues, with Burke feeling that Vicki's near and in danger.
Carolyn asks Liz about her worry; she remembers how desperate and murderous Matthew was. Carolyn believes Burke will find Vicki and gets a lecture from Liz. Liz fears that Burke will destroy Carolyn as it is all he knows. Roger is snippy and tells Carolyn "you're fascinated by him because he's different (he's part lizard!)." He calls Burke common and predictable. Roger learns that Burke's been to Collinwood after Liz tells Carolyn about Logansport.
Joe apologizes for punching Burke and says he’s walking away from whatever he lacked with Carolyn. Burke suspects Joe won't ever get over Carolyn but they table the discussion.
Inside, Roger takes back his guns and calls Vicki stupid. Burke jumps to her defense. In a stellar scene, Burke and Roger discuss in metaphor their situation. Joe steals a moment to dump Carolyn. Burke and Joe make plans after enjoying Liz's coffee and Roger's sarcasm. Roger questions Burke's loyalty for Vicki. Burke tells Roger off and gets a snapback from Liz. Burke and Liz exchange business-related barbs, and Roger cracks jokes. Burke pushes Roger against the wall after he saying he learned every dirty trick he knows from him. He leaves, and Liz stops Roger from chasing Burke with a gun.
