Note: The
episodes’ official numbering includes skipped numbers for pre-emptions, in
accordance with their numbering system (so that one could look at the number of
an episode and know what day of the week it aired on). I have elected to number
the episodes by what episode it actually is, but I will note the official numbering also.
This is the 131st episode, but the official number is 134.
My name is
Victoria Winters. There is an air of expectation at Collinwood—for the one who
has returned will soon arrive. And the one who waits most eagerly grows
impatient.
Liz finds David at his window.
They talk about his mother.
He thinks he sees her, but Liz
thinks not.
As they go downstairs, Liz
tells David that no one would be standing out there in the cold and dark.
David asks Roger whether Laura
will come live with them. He’s excited to have a mother and a father like
everyone else.
He goes up to wash his hands
and change his shirt.
Liz and Roger discuss Laura.
Perhaps there isn’t another alternative to her staying at Collinwood. At least
it would get her away from the inn—where Burke is.
Vicki finds David putting on a
tie.
He’s very excited to see his mother again.
He wonders what he should talk
about and whether she’ll like him.
Maybe he’ll say the wrong thing and make her
hate him.
Vicki says she won’t hate him,
no matter what he says. She loves him.
He tells her about his bad
dreams of his mother surrounded by fire.
Vicki tells him he’s thought
so much about it that he’s given himself a case of stagefright.
She says she
did the same thing to herself when she came to Collinwood.
David wishes he knew what was
going to happen. He has a feeling something he doesn’t understand is going to
happen.
Laura arrives.
Roger lets her in. He tells
her that David has been having dreams about her.
Roger says he has something he
wants to discuss with her.
He tells her Liz may be an obstacle.
He’d like Laura
to avoid Burke Devlin.
She says she’s seen him and given him an evasive answer.
Roger points out that testifying for Burke would cause her to be looked on as
an unfit mother.
Vicki comes down and Roger
introduces her to Laura.
Vicki goes up to get David.
He
tells her he doesn’t want to see his mother.
And he doesn’t want to talk about
it.
She tells him his mother is
very beautiful and very nice. He’ll like her.
Liz tells Laura that she’s
impressed with the changes in her, but still concerned.
Laura says she’s ready to be a
mother to David.
David asks Vicki to stay by him.
David is brought in, but
quickly leaves.
Vicki goes up to talk with
him. He says, “That’s not my mother.”
