JANUARY 3, 1975 (EP. #2648)
Mac told a skeptical Ada he wants to protect Rachel from the kind of humiliations she'd known in
the past. Returned from St. Croix, Steve and Alice tried to figure out a way to see Jamie without
Rachel's presence. Robert brought Steve up to date on the Cory project. Russ left quickly before
Iris could drag him into her argument with Mac. When Mac threatened to move out, Iris told
Louise they may have to recruit help from someone in New York.
Note: A hand-written note next to the Iris/Mac argument scene "Cory: Be tougher"
JANUARY 6, 1975 (EP. #2649) (First ongoing 60-minute episode)
Dave agreed to transfer Alice to the children's ward. Liz told Alice it was all over between her and
Mac thanks to Rachel. Lenore was pleased when Robert told her Carol wouldn't accompany him
to New York. Neil aggravated Carol by bringing up her repeated efforts to accompany Robert.
Dennis asked Mac to talk to Rachel about Jamie's visits with Steve. Iris promised Mac to do
everything she could to make Rachel feel comfortable. Rachel dropped Jamie off, told Mac she'd
miss him when he was in NY, then exchanged "pleasantries" with Iris. Iris and Russ worried about
an unhappy Liz. Louise agreed to help Iris only after Iris assured her the plan, unlike the last one,
wasn't illegal. Iris wanted to contact Cynthia Whitefield to inquire how she broke up her son
Reggie's engagement. Alice, Mary, and Jim tried to console Liz. Rachel agreed to let Mac handle
Jamie's visits with Steve. Robert and Lenore spied on them from across the restaurant as Mac told
Rachel that after many lonely years he had found in her something to look forward to.
JANUARY 7, 1975 (EP. #2650)
Richard told Iris to ask Carol for Cynthia's address. Iris phoned Pat and Lenore to invite them to a
party she's throwing for Richard, which is really an excuse to throw Mac and Liz together. Carol
didn't want to take Lenore up on her offer to help out at the office while Robert was away. Steve
was surprised to hear Mac had been seeing Rachel. Lenore insisted to Vic she had been wrong to
resist giving up her job for so long. Carol agreed to ask Therese about Cynthia's whereabouts for
Iris. Carol arranged to fly to NY to see Therese after phoning her doctor and learning she wasn't
well.
Carol: "You're not as amusing as you think you are."
Neil: "Sorry... I'll try harder."
JANUARY 8, 1975 (EP. #2651)
Steve and Alice assured Mac they were agreeable to using him as a go-between for Jamie's visits.
Carol couldn't accept Dave's invite to Iris's party since she had NY plans. Mac asked Carol to the
party since most of the guests weren't friendly to Rachel. Carol admitted to Rachel her mother's
health was just an excuse to go to NY, and Rachel encouraged her to try harder with Robert. Steve
promised Jamie they were going to see a lot more of each other from now on. Alice told Mary and
Jim she and Steve would do what they could to help Liz with Mac. Ada was uncomfortable in the
fancy surroundings when she and Gil had dinner with Rachel and Mac at the Tallboys, and Mac
told her not to judge him too harshly. Everyone lifted their glass when Ada promised to give Mac a
chance.
JANUARY 9, 1975 (EP. #2652)
Robert and Lenore both thought it a good idea Carol head up a branch office in NY. Liz
wondered to Lenore if Helen would share an apartment with her when Helen returned from her
cruise. John introduced Jim to Barbara Weaver, Sam's replacement, and the first woman to clerk
for a Supreme Court justice. John told a worried Ada she was misjudging Mac. Liz moaned to Iris
that Mac lost his regard for her thanks to her pursuit of him. Lenore offered to help out when she
saw how overworked Neil was without Robert and Carol. John put Barbara on the phone so Pat
could welcome her to Bay City. Pat filled Mary in on her and Sam. Robert was annoyed when
Lenore phoned him that Carol was in NY.
Dennis: (About Mac and Rachel) "You know, Jamie, if things work out, you and I might be
related some day, too..."
Jamie: "Hey, then we'd be like brothers... or cousins.. I don't know which..."
JANUARY 10, 1975 (EP. #2653)
Robert came down on Carol for leaving the office without his knowledge, but she got him to delay
his flight back to Bay City. Liz criticized Iris for being severe with Mac. Rachel told Ada Iris has
been treating her like dirt, and Ada felt Iris didn't want her father marrying Russ's ex-wife. Rachel
pushed past Ada when Ada warned her not to crash Iris's party, at which Mac and Iris chatted with
Steve and Alice. Everyone stopped speaking and stared at Rachel as she made a dramatic entrance.
Iris turned and started out when Mac, covering for Rachel, said he'd invited her. Steve, Alice, Pat,
John, and Russ (who guided Richard away from Rachel) all turned away from Rachel, who burst
into tears and fled, while Iris smiled from the doorway. Robert wouldn't let Carol stay in Mac's
townhouse overnight since he was staying there. Mac convinced Rachel not to flee the party, then
popped the question.
Mac: "Rachel, I love you..."
Rachel: "Don't say that if you don't mean it."
Mac: "But I do mean it... I wake up every morning longing to see you again."
Mac: "Trust me, my dear."
Rachel: "I do."
Mac: "Enough to consent to be my wife?"
Rachel: "You don't mean that."
Mac: "I've never meant anything so much in my life. I want to take care of you the rest of my life."
Rachel: "Iris will never let you marry me."
Mac: "Iris has nothing to do with it. [BEAT] Well, don't keep me in suspense, please... Will you
marry me?"
Rachel: "Yes... Oh yes [HE KISSES HER]"
JANUARY 13, 1975 (EP. #2654)
There was stunned silence, then a quiet murmur of voices after Mac announced Rachel consented
to be his wife. Liz broke away, sobbing, and Pat followed her. Richard was the first to step up and
offer his hand to Mac. John came next, then Steve, to congratulate Mac. Mac raised his glass and
bade everyone toast the future Mrs. Cory, but Iris moved quickly to him and took the glass from
his hand, saying, "No, Daddy... not in my house." Carol told Robert she'd never gotten the
attention from her mother she'd wanted. John defended Rachel to Iris, who found Steve agreed
with her. Richard told Liz in his opinion Rachel really loved Mac. Carol phoned Loretta Simpson
about Cynthia. Mac hoped Jamie would accept him as his father. Iris warned Mac Rachel would
make him miserable, then insisted he never come back when he announced he was moving into a
hotel.
JANUARY 14, 1975 (EP. #2655)
Steve's brother Willis showed up on Steve's doorstep and introduced himself to Alice, thinking she
was Liz. Willis, impressed by the house, explained Janice (whom he'd been staying with the past
couple of months) hadn't known to tell him Alice and Steve were back together. Willis was a bit
bitter that Steve never wrote at first when he'd left home at age 17, then after Ma died and Emma
and Burt took over the farm, letters began to come with a check. Iris broke it to Dennis that Mac
had moved out, and he threw a tantrum when she forbade him to see Jamie. Gil proudly showed
Ada the building blocks for Nancy he was making himself. Ada was upset by the news then
realized how happy Rachel was to be engaged to Mac. Ada badgered Rachel when she couldn't
say she loved Mac, but Rachel vowed she will once they're married. Alice dragged Willis to lunch
with Mary, whom he told he'd been doing odd jobs in various towns since Vietnam, and Mary
remarked that Russ dropped out of school to move from town to town before deciding to go back
to school and become a doctor. Rachel laughed and tore up the blank check Iris handed her.
Willis: (John Fitzpatrick, Introduction Line) "[SMILING] What's the matter?"
Alice: "You aren't the postman?"
Willis: "No, Ma'am... Sorry."
Ada: "What's so funny?"
Gil: "Never thought I'd be married to Mac Cory's mother-in-law!"
Notes: First appearance of John (Jerry) Fitzpatrick as Willis Frame.
JANUARY 15, 1975 (EP. #2656)
Robert convinced Lenore to forsake making dinner in favor of doing something more intimate.
Neil provided a running commentary on Carol's life as she accepted a date with Dave over the
phone. Willis hid and listened when Steve and Jamie came in, then stepped out when Jamie went
in the other room. Steve didn't recognize Willis at first, but then was very happy to see him. Jamie
came back in shyly and Steve introduced him to Willis, who didn't want to be called "Uncle
Willis." Carol told Dave she can't feel sorry for Iris because Iris had dominated her early life by her
relationship with Therese. Steve told Vic to find some work for Willis on the project, while Willis
smiled broadly at Barbara, Vic's date. Helen came back from her trip.
JANUARY 17, 1975 (EP. #2658)
Mac gave Rachel an engagement ring but she couldn't wear it until they broke the news to Jamie.
Russ relented when Iris begged him to talk to Mac about Rachel. Carol assured Rachel she
intended to keep on trying with Robert, then admitted she was seeing Dave only so she wouldn't be
lonely. Rachel asked Carol to be her maid of honor, and agreed Robert would be a good choice of
best man. Mac was embarrassed by Russ's tactful warnings about Rachel. Steve explained to Willis
that Frame Enterprises was involved in planning and constructing industrial buildings, as well as
some residential ones. Robert told Willis he and Lenore were very fond of Janice. Carol weaseled
out of it when Robert wanted her to work in NY, then got irritated at Willis's friendly glances.
Jamie worried about his relationship with Steve when Mac and Rachel told him their news.
Willis: (To Steve about the Frame Enterprises offices) "It sure beats the farm, doesn't it?"
JANUARY 20, 1975 (EP. #2659)
Cynthia suggested Iris use the services of Philip Wainwright to lure Rachel away from Mac. Carol
inquired about Lenore's first husband, Walter. Rachel told Gil her wedding would be a big affair
remembered for years. Philip was less than agreeable when Cynthia asked him to come over and
meet Iris, since he was already squiring a mark around town. Over dinner with the Delaneys, Neil
revealed he has three sisters and two brothers, and grew up on a farm. John warned Rachel she
may be mistaking infatuation for love, but insisted he would always be on her side. Helen was
happy to let Liz move in with her. Cynthia told Philip to dispense with the grand gestures when he
flattered Iris. Iris implored Philip to come "scout the territory" in Bay City.
Iris: (About Mac) "He's got himself engaged to a most frightful creature."
Notes: First appearance of James Luisi as Philip Wainwright.
JANUARY 21, 1975 (EP. #2660)
Marianne was appalled to come across Pat and John hotly arguing about Rachel. Jim suggested
Russ ask Richard to have a friendly talk with Liz. Steve and Alice planned a party so Willis could
meet some people. Willis told Alice his parents' marriage put him off marriage and children. Steve
asked Pat to throw the party for Willis. Willis rifled through Steve's financial records. Russ told
Richard not to give up trying to spend time with Liz. A tearful Marianne told her grandparents that
John was leaving again. Mary called John to clear up the misunderstanding and ask that Marianne
stay overnight. Mary told Jim they have to start treating Michael and Marianne as different
individuals. Steve told Willis he wants to make up for the unhappiness he'd caused him, but later,
when Alice told him how important his family was to Steve, Willis wondered where Steve had
been when they needed him.
Willis: (To Steve) "One day you were there, and the next day gone.. I stood down at the end of the road till it got dark, waiting for you to come back..."
Notes: First appearance of Ariana Muenker as Marianne Randolph.
JANUARY 22, 1975 (EP. #2661)
Jamie assured Rachel he was used to the idea of never being able to live at Steve's house again.
Rachel urged Mac to make up with Iris. Lenore and Helen said an emotional goodbye when Helen
moved the last of her things out. Ada admitted to a pleased Rachel she had been wrong about
Mac. Cynthia cautioned Iris that Philip could be treacherous. Philip dropped the ambassador's
daughter when Iris handed him a check. Mac asked Lenore to make nice with Rachel. Barbara
realized Vic was sweet on Lenore when he got all excited over her dropping by the office. Jamie
told Dennis he was going to be his uncle-in-law, but Louise suggested they refer to each other as
cousins. Robert had a tough time convincing Lenore to get friendly with Rachel. Rachel suggested
Robert when Mac wanted Jay Sheppard to be his best man.
Rachel: (To Jamie) "As soon as Mac and I are married, he'll build us a house even bigger and better than Steve's. You just wait and see."
JANUARY 23, 1975 (EP. #2662)
Willis told Carol he finds it hard to understand Steve's conciliatory attitude. Neil advised Willis not
to expect to make much headway with Carol. Willis wondered if Pat asked him to her party just
because he was Steve's brother. Pat and Lenore were horrified they might be invited to Rachel's
wedding. Liz didn't appreciate Mary's unsolicited advice. Willis accused Steve of trying to smooth
off some of his rough edges. Dave accepted a date from Carol, then reassured Mary Alice was
handling the children's ward just fine. Jim advised Pat to be more concerned about her two
teenagers than about Rachel. Dave decided it was a good time for sex when Carol dropped hints
about the serviceable bed in Robert's office bedroom.
JANUARY 24, 1975 (EP. #2663)
Carol lied to Robert that the cufflinks he found in the bedroom where Neil's that she found on the
floor. Carol urged Robert to accept Mac's offer of being his best man. Iris introduced Philip to a
puzzled Louise as an old friend. Willis forced a kiss on Carol just to prove he could. Robert was
disappointed in her when Lenore objected to Mac's offer. Rachel considered having the wedding
at the complex. Mac was pleased when Iris promised to start afresh. Richard coaxed Liz into going
for a drive. Iris introduced Philip to Mac and Rachel, and Mac recalled his first wife had been
close with his mother.
Philip: (On meeting Rachel) "You're as lovely and enchanting as Iris told me."
Notes: Iris's friends, Millicent Marberry and Mortimer Andrews.
JANUARY 27, 1975 (EP. #2664)
Robert demanded that Carol no longer use the bedroom in the office. Carol objected when Robert
told Mac to find another best man. Iris and Philip conspired to throw him together with Rachel,
then she told Russ not to be jealous of him. Ada didn't appreciate Carol's idea that Rachel get even
with Lenore for not letting Robert be best man. Neil covered for Carol when Robert confronted
him about the cufflinks. Gil persuaded Ada to talk to Lenore about Rachel. Iris egged Mac on to
play polo with Philip.
JANUARY 28, 1975 (EP. #2665)
Robert accused Lenore of trying to run his office from their living room. John had to tell a disappointed Willis that both Barbara and Carol already had escorts to the party. John told Steve and Alice to give Rachel the benefit of the doubt. Lenore told Ada her loyalty to the Matthews family prevented her from taking part in Rachel's wedding. Michael was relieved to get a break from studying geometry when John suggested he put the basketball backboard that Russ gifted him for Christmas over the garage door. Michael informed John and Pat that Marianne was hanging out with friends after school. Marianne accused Pat of being so busy criticizing John she had no time for Marianne. Jamie introduced him to Rachel when Willis drove him home. Rachel told him she had been Janice's first friend in Bay City, then Janice had turned against her.
Michael: (Christopher, J. Brown, Introduction Line) (Randolph living room to John) "Oh, hi, Dad. I didn't hear you come in."
Notes: First appearance of Christopher J. Brown as Michael Randolph.
JANUARY 29, 1975 (EP. #2666)
Carol quizzed Dave about Liz and Richard. Neil took Vic off his suspect list when Vic denied
owning the cufflinks. Pat encouraged Liz to get out more. Dave objected more than Carol when
Willis paid her a lot of attention during Pat's party.
JANUARY 30, 1975 (EP. #2667)
Iris wasn't amused by Philip's amorous advances. Barbara told Jim she overcompensated because
her father had wanted a son. Mac instructed John to name Rachel his chief beneficiary, then asked
him to have Robert design a house on the tract of land he had purchased by the Bay. John
suggested Mac ask Dave to be his best man. Iris assure Helen she was only tolerating Rachel for
Mac's sake. Dave said he'd be honored to accept Mac's request. Iris was upset with Russ (who was
trying to avoid Philip) for not coming over.
JANUARY 31, 1975 (EP. #2668)
Ada was nervous when Iris came over to discuss her duties as the mother of the bride. Iris advised
her to lose her financial inhibitions. Ada told Gil she doubts Iris's professed feelings are genuine.
Robert and Carol agreed to design a house for Mac on the site he'd originally purchased as an
extension of the complex's warehouse facilities. Carol met Alice and defended Rachel to her. Mac
surprised Rachel with photos of the land for the new house. Iris chastised Philip for teaching
Dennis to gamble, then told him not to waste his celebrated charm on her. Carol was annoyed with
Dave for accepting Mac's request, and he stormed out when she accepted a date with Willis in
front of him. Rachel asked Philip to help her choose a painting as a wedding present to Mac.
Iris: "What a charming kitchen."
Ada: "Thanks."
Iris: "It's so cozy."
Ada: "Yeah... well... we like it."
Notes: Mac's NY friends: Bishop Cartwright, Senator Blount, Huxley Roberts.
FEBRUARY 3, 1975 (EP. #2669)
Robert and Lenore disagreed over his obligations to Mac extending to his personal life. Liz told
Alice she didn't want people to start thinking of Richard and her as a couple. When Barbara teased
him about his infatuation with Lenore, Vic accused her of feeling safe that he was interested in
someone else. Jamie assured Dennis he didn't mind Alice being married to Steve. Liz cut short her
visit with Alice when Steve came home and told them about helping construct Mac's house for
Rachel; later Steve told Alice Vic would be handling it for him as he preferred not to be directly
involved. Carol led Dave into the bedroom when she noticed Robert spying on them. Robert
stormed out without confronting them, then Carol got rid of Dave since he'd served his purpose.
FEBRUARY 4, 1975 (EP. #2670)
Rachel fretted to Ada she didn't have enough friends to be bridesmaids. Ada worried where Jamie
would be living while they waited for the house to be built, so Gil suggested buying and renovating
an old mansion. Iris told Philip she was counting on Mac's jealousy for the success of their plan.
Carol was pleased when Robert demonstrated his irritation with Carol's sex life. Mac agreed with
Gil's idea and looked over real estate listings with Rachel. Rachel was thrilled to come across the
Tudor-style mansion she used to pass on her way to school (when she and Ada had lived near the
Bay) and dream about living in. Louise was uncomfortable when Mac asked her to keep an eye on
Philip. Iris decided she should buy Philip a partnership in the Springview Riding Academy to
legitimize his presence in Bay City. Mac smile warmly at them as Rachel told Jamie her dreams
about the Clayton house, which they'd just visited.
Rachel: (Part of Victoria Wyndham's ad-libbed speech about Rachel's dream mansion) "Mrs. Clayton! And in the spring, I'd get off the bus near the house and sneak thru the woods to the wall of the property so I could look at the gardens. It seemed like there were flowers as far as you could see. And usually at that time of day she'd be there."
Mac: (Reading the description of the Clayton mansion) "... Seventeen acres... lawns and a formal garden... carriage house with living quarters above... Stables... wooded area with spring-fed lake..."
FEBRUARY 5, 1975 (EP. #2671)
Michael was clueless when Pat and John asked him what was troubling Marianne. Russ told Iris he
was avoiding her new houseguest, not her. Lenore told Pat Robert may admire independence and
freedom in women, but not in a wife. Rachel told Willis he was out of luck with Carol if he
couldn't pay for the lifestyle she was accustomed to. Jim and Barbara wondered why Iris wasn't
enthusiastic about her father's wedding. Willis told Alice he hoped taking Carol out to the Tallboys
would impress her, but Pat cautioned him about her. Alice reminded Pat they would hang around
the Kopper Kettle when they were Marianne's age when Pat worried about her hanging out at the
soda shop. John failed to dissuade Iris from funding Philip's partnership in the riding academy.
FEBRUARY 6, 1975 (EP. #2672)
Carol told Willis she wasn't fooled by his country bumpkin act. Neil wanted to accompany Carol
on her date with Willis so he could take notes for a book on how to attract, maintain, and
manipulate amorous suitors. Ada told Gil it would be better for Rachel if her wedding wasn't held
in Bay City. Iris flung a pillow at the doorway after Mac told her he'd be remodeling a house for
Rachel so they wouldn't have to delay the wedding. Philip pointed out that their scheme seemed to
be more harmful to Iris's romance than her father's. Carol chided Willis for behaving like a
schoolboy when he was nervous about taking her out to the Tallboys. Ada advised Mac to have
the wedding in New York so Rachel won't feel everyone watching her has some grudge against
her, even though it meant she and Gil couldn't attend as Nancy was too young to travel.
Gil: "If Nancy were older, she could be a flower girl at Rachel's wedding."
Ada: "Right now, she'd eat the flowers, stems and all."
Willis: "You're making fun of me, aren't you?"
Neil: "I make fun of everything."
Willis: "Why?"
Neil: "Why not?"
FEBRUARY 7, 1975 (EP. #2673)
Neil declared it was perfectly logical for Carol to sleep over some nights when an upset Lenore
found Carol's nightgowns hanging in the office bedroom closet. Vic apologized to Barbara for not
being able to be more than a friend right now. Dave convinced Barbara to go out with him. Philip
was glad Barbara was too busy to accept Iris's offer of being Philip's escort. Mary told Pat that
Marianne may confide in Alice the same way Pat used to confide in Uncle Dru. Pat warned
Lenore that confronting Robert may create a problem that doesn't exist. Philip coaxed Mac into
playing polo with him. Philip introduced his friend, brash Clarice Hobson, to Iris (who was
appalled), Mac, and Rachel, whom she recognized as having waitressed at the Fireside Inn. Dave
was cool with Carol when he and Barbara ran into her and Willis at the Tallboys. Lenore told
Robert she doesn't give a hoot about Carol's reputation. Mac convinced Rachel to have a small
ceremony in New York to save several people embarrassment.
Louise: "[O.C.] Yes."
Clarice: (Introduction Line) "[O.C.] Is this where Phil lives?"
Louise: "[O.C.] Phil?"
Clarice: "Yeah... he said it was this house... [PHILIP MOVES QUICKLY TO THE FOYER] Oh,
there you are! [CLARICE ENTERS, WEARING A COCKTAIL DRESS, AND LOTS OF JEWELRY]"
Philip: "[TAKING HER HAND] Glad you could make it."
Clarice: "Marge is taking over at the Steakshed. [SHE COMES IN, AS IRIS STARES
WITHOUT SPEAKING] Hi, folks."
Mac: "Good evening."
Philip: "Iris, this is Clarice Hobson. Iris Carrington."
Iris: "Hello, Miss Hobson."
Clarice: "Hi-ya, Iris."
Clarice: "That's a fancy first name they stuck you with."
Mac: "[AMUSED] Everyone calls me Mac."
Clarice: "Like the truck, huh?"
Notes: First appearance of Gail Brown as Clarice Ewing.
FEBRUARY 10, 1975 (EP. #2674)
Carol told Rachel a simpler wedding ceremony required a simpler wedding dress. Carol
complained to Robert about the way people jumped to unpleasant conclusions about her. Carol
hurled accusations at Neil as she removed her clothes from the bedroom. Rachel was upset that
none of her family will be able to attend her wedding. Iris was amused that Philip said Clarice told
him Rachel used to be a waitress, then initiated a plan to have Mac find Rachel in a compromising
position. Carol made nice with Dave. Alice caught Pat and Marianne in the middle of their daily
battle.
FEBRUARY 11, 1975 (EP. #2675)
Iris was irritated to overhear Jamie and Dennis talking about the pushed-forward date of the
wedding. Iris bolted out of the kitchen when Ada let it slip the wedding was to be in New York.
Russ told Rachel Hettie Clayton had been one of his patients, and told Mac she grew rather
eccentric in later years. Philip convinced Rachel to let him give her riding lessons. Iris asked Russ
to distract Pat while John had her sign the "silent partner" papers.
FEBRUARY 12, 1975 (EP. #2676)
Robert was irritated to learn Lenore had been doing some work for Vic at home. Vic told an angry
Robert he should be pleased Lenore was interested in something more exciting than cooking and
cleaning house. Robert told Steve Lenore was really jealous of Carol's independence, then he went
home and apologized to Lenore. A distraught Louise berated Philip for putting his cigars out in her
plants. Carol was pleased with herself for misleading Iris about the nearness of Rachel's wedding
date.
Iris: (In the first scene in the soon-to-be-Cory mansion) "Why on earth would anyone want to live
in this house?"
Philip: "It has a certain seedy grandeur."
FEBRUARY 13, 1975 (EP. #2677)
In New York, Mac's secretary, Miss Veasey, warned him that the reporters would be camping on
his doorstep once they learn of his marriage. Russ felt Iris should know about it when Dave told
him the wedding was set for tomorrow. Jamie told Ada Willis was working on Mac and Rachel's
house, and Ada reminisced about all the cats old Mrs. Clayton kept there. Richard told Dave Dr.
Wheeler needed him in surgery immediately, then later Mac turned down Richard's offer to fill in
as best man. Liz went to pieces when Russ told her the wedding was tomorrow. Lenore told Vic
she liked him but it couldn't lead anywhere, then she told Barbara not to give up on Vic. Carol was
very pleased when she managed to trick Robert into coming to New York.
FEBRUARY 14, 1975 (EP. #2678)
Mac and Rachel were married.
FEBRUARY 17, 1975 (EP. #2679)
Rachel let Carol try on the black diamond mink coat Mac gave her as wedding/Valentine's Day
present. Rachel told Carol that Robert may not know that Lenore was on trial for killing her
supposed lover, Wayne Addison. Mac phoned Willis to have him concentrate on renovating the
bedrooms before anything else. Some of his papers fell when Iris bumped into Jim, and she just
had time to notice they were from Mac's accountant. Then she overheard John tell Barbara that
the bulk of Mac's estate goes to Rachel under the new codicil. Philip warned Iris not to let Mac
and Rachel get wind of her displeasure; then after phoning them with congratulations, Iris said it
was the most degrading thing she'd ever done in her life.
FEBRUARY 18, 1975 (EP. #2680)
Angie Perrini told Ada and Gil she came back to Bay City when she was laid off at the Ogden
automobile assembly plant, but she had just completed a secretarial course. Louise and Russ
worried about Iris, who had retreated to her bedroom. Steve told Ada Angie might be the perfect
replacement for Lenore. Jamie invited Marianne to the housewarming party, but Marianne was
more interested in Willis.
Angie: (Toni Kalem, Introduction Line) "Hello, Gil."
Gil: "Angie! Well, hello."
Notes: First appearance of Toni Kalem as Angie Perrini.
FEBRUARY 19, 1975 (EP. #2681)
Robert covered up to Lenore that it was Carol who had sent him an expensive present from New
York. An upset Dennis raged to Louise about being kept in the dark about Mac's wedding. Gil
refused to let Carol see the police reports on the death of Walter Curtin. Steve introduced Angie to
Robert as the new secretary. Dennis insisted to Russ they had to find out what was wrong with
Iris. Carol pressed Wally for information on his father, then Neil came down on her for asking
personal questions about his dead father. Iris insulted Russ by saying at least Philip wasn't refusing
to help her with Mac and Rachel.
Neil: (About Carol's sketches) "Are those for the Clayton mansion?"
Carol: "It's the Cory mansion now, Neil."
Neil: "So it is."
FEBRUARY 20, 1975 (EP. #2682)
Willis was interested when Ada and Gil told him about Angie. Iris ripped up the announcement of
Mac's marriage with a "ghastly picture of the new Mrs. Cory." Iris was annoyed when Liz vowed
to be just Mac's friend from now on. Carol was seated on a sawhorse sketching a period fireplace
when Willis brought Ada and Gil over to tour the mansion. Barbara regretted letting it slip out to
Iris that Mac has yet to sign his new will. Willis told Angie he'll be seeing a lot of her from now on,
and she accepted a lunch date to go tour the mansion. Iris introduced herself to Michael and told
him he was a great basketball hero to Dennis.
Notes: First reference to the "Cory publishing complex."
FEBRUARY 21, 1975 (EP. #2683)
Marianne told Mary she gets along better with her than with Pat. Russ encouraged Jim and Mary
to vacation in Steve's St. Croix house. Robert told Carol Wally uses Walter's name and not his
because he assumed Wally wants to keep his own name. Liz told Ada she and Will went to parties
at Hettie Clayton's years ago. Lenore got upset when Wally asked her to tell him about Walter. Liz
scolded Robert for being Mac's best man, then Lenore accused him of never telling her the truth.
FEBRUARY 24, 1975 (EP. #2684)
Ada worried Mac would spoil Jamie the way he spoiled Iris. Rachel caught Ada and Gil dancing
the tango in the kitchen. Rachel offered to give Liz's wedding present to Carol, but Carol warned
her not to let Mac see her be rude to Liz. Robert was disconcerted to find Dave making himself at
home in Carol's hotel room. Lenore ran to Pat for moral support, and Pat warned her not to play
into Carol's hands. Dave stormed out after accusing Carol of leading guys on before dropping
them for the next one. When Robert insisted he would have to admit to Lenore that he had been
tricked into going to New York, a scantily clad Carol began to apply the serious charm.
FEBRUARY 25, 1975 (EP. #2685)
Liz declined to accompany Jim and Mary to St. Croix. Steve felt Rachel bought the mansion for
her own sake but John was convinced she did it so Jamie would have a place to live in right away.
Liz remonstrated John for letting Mac change his will. Lenore apologized to Robert for her jealous
nature.
Mac: "Do you think it would be presumptuous of me to..."
Ada: "What?"
Mac: "[KISSING HER ON THE CHEEK] There, now you can't refuse."
Ada: "Maybe your wife doesn't mind, but... oh.... well...Don't let Gil catch you doing that."
FEBRUARY 26, 1975 (EP. #2686)
Vic warned Lenore Carol had questioned him about Walter. Iris distracted Barbara while Philip
stole Mac's will. Mac asked Robert to fix up a room in the mansion so he and Rachel could throw
a small party, which Lenore told Robert she refuses to attend.
FEBRUARY 27, 1975 (EP. #2687)
Lenore scattered Carol's work papers to the floor in anger after demanding she ask no more
questions about Walter. Iris threw John and Barbara out when they came to accuse her of stealing

of them.

legs. Liz came to visit Mac, but had to turn blindly and rush from the room when her emotions
overtook her. Steve agreed when John asked him if Angie could do some secretarial work for Mac
so he could get some work done from his hospital bed. Steve told John that he'd been approached
by a group of private investors in Australia to work on a large industrial-residential complex
outside of Sydney that will have a population of between a hundred and two hundred thousand
people. A distraught Liz pinned Rachel against the wall and warned her to stay away from Mac,
but Richard and Russ restrained her.

with her not to resign and desert her. Mac apologized to Rachel that his accident prevented them
from going on their honeymoon. Ada gave Mac the tape recorder Angie sent along so Mac could
dictate messages when she wasn't there, and she tentatively joined in with Gil and Mac as they
sang "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" to test the machine.
Gil: "Hi, Mac."
Mac: "Hello... And Ada..."
Ada: "Hello... [SHE HESITATES, THEN IMPULSIVELY KISSES CORY ON THE CHEEK]"

Jim and Mary visited a glum Liz in hospital. Carol seethed, and Neil and Willis quickly realized
Ada was their new boss, when she criticized Carol's sketches for the Cory kitchen. Carol sabotaged
some of Lenore's work to soothe her hurt feelings. Steve came to supervise construction of the
mansion since it needed to be ready sooner than expected. Steve offered Willis a junior partnership
in Frame Enterprises.

Rachel Jamie will be able to choose between the publishing business and the construction business
when he grows up. A reluctant Alice escorted Mac home to Rachel's apartment when Linda, his
assigned nurse, was called away. Mac confided to Alice that before Iris was born, his wife and he
lost a baby son. He had refused to think about it for years, but Jamie has made it less painful.
Steve: "I'd like to settle the future of the firm."
Willis: "You mean I might take it over some day."

it "slip" that poor Lenore was mentally unwell. Philip told Iris they can use Clarice to make friends
with Rachel, giving Rachel a reason to come to Philip's cottage (to see Clarice). Helen asked
Richard to see if he could help a troubled Lenore. Iris took Rachel's hand and asked for her
forgiveness, and agreed to be executrix of Mac's will.

Gil had a picnic on the floor of the half-furnished living room. Carol made it a point to tell Lenore
that Robert would be going to Australia before Robert could tell her first. Barbara and Vic
hesitated outside the door as they heard Robert and Lenore arguing about moving to Australia.
MARCH 28, 1975 (EP. #2708)
Rachel wished Steve a good journey when he phoned to arrange to say goodbye to Jamie. Steve
told Alice the project was his opportunity to leave his mark on the world when she was sad about
leaving their house, even if it was only temporary. Steve and Alice phoned Mary and Jim with
their news. Jamie told Steve the house wouldn't be the same without him. Steve said goodbye to
Jamie, then Alice made ready to take Steve to the airport. Jim woke up from a nap to find Mary
had passed away in a chair on the terrace.

Jim: "For sharing my life... I've been wondering what I would have done without you."
Mary: "We don't have to wonder things like that, do we? Now, you get your rest-"

Mary: "Yes, I'll be right in. [JIM GOES INSIDE. MARY RISES AND LIZ GOES TO HER]"
Liz: "Oh, Mary."
Mary: "What is it?"
Liz: "Do you realize what a lucky woman you are?"
Mary: (Exit Line) "Yes, I do... And I'm grateful to Jim for making my life so much easier than
most people's. Now, do you want to say hello to Pat?"
Liz: "No, you and Jim talk to her. I'll go find some more shells for that necklace for Marianne.
Give them all my love, will you. [SHE HURRIES OUT, AND MARY STARES AFTER HER
THOUGHTFULLY, THEN GOES INTO THE HOUSE]"
Alice: "Darling, can we just walk around the house once before we leave?"
