Bill tells Burke to meet him at Roger's office later that night, and he will help clear everything up.

Synopsis

My name is Victoria Winters. I have been swept up in the whirlpool of emotions that has, as its vortex, this great house called Collinwood. And others are swept along in the same inexorable tide.

Bill calls Burke on his interest in buying up the Collins properties. Bill calls Burke on his treachery and trickery after Burke again professes his innocence. Bill tells Burke he'll help him prove his innocence if he leaves Elizabeth alone. They talk about Roger and Burke tells Bill he's the most honest person he's ever known. Carolyn visits Roger at work and is impressed that he knows what is his job and what is Hanley's. Bill shows up and Carolyn leaves. Bill flatly states that he believes Elizabeth kept Roger out of prison; Roger evades the matter. Bill tells Roger that Sam Evans knows something. Roger bluffs but after Bill leaves. Carolyn brags about her gift to Roger, who takes it from her with the supposition that he will return it to Burke. Later they make up and Carolyn admits she followed Burke to Bangor and refuses to accept Roger's offer to give her back the pen. Malloy sets up a meeting with Burke at Roger's office at 11 PM to show his hold card.
