Roger is horrified when he returns home after confrontation with Sam Evans to find Burke Devlin in the living room with Elizabeth and Victoria. He's even more disgusted to find that Elizabeth is preparing to serve him tea, and demands the opportunity to speak to Burke alone. Burke makes it clear as to why he is there. He believes that Roger killed Bill Malloy and intends to prove it and thus make Rodger hang, and in the meantime enjoy watching him suffer. The confrontation only briefly gets aggressive and that is when Roger tries to end the conversation and leave the room, resulting in Burke slamming the door shut so he can't. Elizabeth try to find solace by visiting Victoria's room, and Victoria indicates that she's heard no screaming which Elizabeth does not find amusing.
The foursome are joined again at the end of the episode where Roger is shaken by Burke's promise. It's a chilling episode that is verbally brilliant in its acerbic sparring between the two enemies and finds the two women wringing their hands in worry over how it will end. Louis Edmonds and Mitchell Ryan are superb in how they play off each other. Once again, it makes me interested to see if they shared screen time in 1986 on "All My Children" even if it was just a simple introduction.
