And, as Godot taught us, he never shows up.

It's an trio of not quite friends waiting for Bill to show up: Roger Collins, the current accused; Burke Devlin, the formerly accused, and Sam Evans, a witness, or accessory, but that is still be determined. Burke rushes out to find Bill, but no dice. Elizabeth, playing piano with her hair down, shares her concern with daughter Carolyn in quite the most poetic way, and it's apparent that this is an even more tense night than the rainstorm and accident that nearly killed Roger.

It's amusing to eat Roger's confidence grow as it becomes later and later, and his future seems clear by the obvious conclusion that something has happened to Bill. Carolyn and her mother have a light conversation about a long ago Halloween, but that only momentarily clears Liz's mind. It's nice to see Joan Bennett smile for a change, even though it is very briefly. Elizabeth confronts Roger over that night ten years ago, and he sticks to his story. The episode is one of the best in weeks, although slow and steady wins the soap opera storyline race.

You've heard of THREE MEN IN A BOAT, well this might as be called THREE MEN IN AN OFFICE. The whole episode is centred around Roger, Burke and Sam waiting in an office for Bill to show up, although he never does. The tensions often ride high which makes this episode somewhat entertaining, although it still feels like filler overall.
