The day after Norman and Rita eloped, it starts snowing in Peyton Place. Ada is delighted when she hears the news and welcomes Norman into the family. Dr. Rossi tells Gus he has advanced cirrhosis of the liver, which means drinking alcohol any longer could be fatal. David tells Peyton he fired Gus and informs him he will not allow Steven or Fowler to use Kim at the trial. When Rod hears the news about his brother's marriage, he immediately moves out of the apartment so Rita can live there with Norman. Leslie is less glad to find out, because he fears Fowler might use this to influence the trial.
