Since both scenes would be styled after the 1957 movie, I ended up wondering how each woman's outfit would look, particularly Constance's. I decided to have her wear still wear a red dress, and, in keeping with a Christmas-y theme, Selena would be wearing green. [ATTACH=full]12647[/ATTACH] I know I originally had Allison making a surprise return in the 30th episode of Season 3, during Selena's trial, but I decided instead, Allison returns at the end of Episode 29, and her return is modeled after the opening scene of "Peyton Place - the Next Generation", with Allison's daughter Megan wandering around town.[MEDIA=youtube]yVMYORa652o[/MEDIA]In Allison's case, she steps off the train station along with a few other people, but just like in "The Next Generation," we don't see her face. And for the next couple of minutes, as she walks from the station towards Elm Street, we only get to see her from the back. She also happens to be wearing the same outfit she wore when she left last season:[ATTACH=full]12646[/ATTACH] This is meant to symbolize the fact that the character is picking up where she left off.As she makes her journey through town, all the other main characters, who're in the middle of discussing the upcoming trial, coincidentally happen to see her; either through windows or from across the street. Constance is in her bookstore when she sees her daughter.Finally, we get an over-the-shoulder view of the white gazebo as Allison approaches it, followed by an aerial shot of all the other characters quietly gathering behind her, with Constance at the forefront."Allison?" Constance tentatively calls out.We see the girl react to the voice before she turns around, revealing that is indeed Allison MacKenzie.End of Episode 29.Episode 30 opens on the very same scene, with an overjoyed Constance starting forward to embrace her daughter......except Allison walks right past her, as if she doesn't see her mother. She also walks right by Rodney. In fact, the only person Allison seems to have eyes for is Selena, whom she gives a huge embrace to. Allison apologizes to Selena for being "a terrible friend," and starts asking if she's okay and who her lawyer is, and that she, Allison, will take the stand if it helps.Selena of course is curious about where Allison has been this past year, but Allison waves it all aside, insisting she's not the one who's important here; Selena is. Later on, presumably the next day, Constance and Allison have a scene at Whitehall Inn, modeled after the one they have in the '57 movie. Allison makes it clear she doesn't want to talk to her mother, but Constance says, "You haven't learned, have you?""Oh I've learned plenty. I've learned how to drink-" (raises her glass) "-learned how to smoke-" (takes out a cigarette) "-learned how to make a living-" (takes out lighter) "-learned how to pay the bills-" (lights cigarette, and takes a puff) "...and I've learned how to kiss like a woman. A married man taught me."Constance gets a look of horror on her face. "If its any consolation, Mother, I didn't know he was married. He never mentioned a wife, nor did anybody else. Funny thing is, he thought I *did* know. He said so after I spent a whole weekend in bed with him-""Allison, stop.""Don't worry, Mother. I'm not 'in trouble', as the saying goes. I made certain to take all the precautions so I wouldn't get knocked up."The conversation continues, and ends with Allison announcing she's leaving Peyton Place as soon as the trial is over. A dejected Constance gets up and walks out, while Allison bows her head, looking rather dejected herself. Finally, at the trial, which is also based on the '57 film, albeit with a few changes here and there (I'll get to that later), Selena, Allison and Constance would be dressed like this:[ATTACH=full]12648[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
