Plot Overview
Colin told Tiffany and Ron that his parents couldn't bear to attend the press conference, but Geraldine and Gordon shocked everyone with their arrival. Colin, who had rejected Ron's prepared speech for one of his own, kept everyone on tenterhooks as to whether or not he'd announce his resignation from the senate. Mike revealed to Vic that Laurie is vacationing on the island of St. Martin. Vic was touched by Mike's insistence that Vic spend Christmas Day with the Karrs. While discussing the Hillyer plane crash, Nancy begged a glum Adam not to speak of Julie in the past tense. Nancy worried when Martha mentioned Cookie taking sleeping pills, but Bill pooh-poohed Nancy's fear of a suicide attempt. Nancy told the Marceaus that she's considering having Cookie committed again. Colin gave a moving speech about the tragedy of mental illness and how it affects society, then vowed he'd work to help the mentally ill as a private citizen or politician... a decision he'd leave to voters. The Karrs and Marceuas were impressed by Colin's speech, which had a particular significance to Nancy. At the Marceau house, Cookie awoke to find "Alexandra" in her room. Kate, as Alexandra, carried a flickering candle and beckoned Cookie to come with her. Cookie followed Kate to the top of the staircase, where Frank hid in the shadows. Frank, with eyes blazing, raised his crutch over his head and prepared to strike Cookie, sending her headlong down the stairs.
Notes
- This was the final appearance of the Whitney family. Although Geraldine and Tiffany would return in November 1973, Colin and Gordon would never be seen by viewers again.
