Sarah Alexander comes into the sitting room and David suggests they go through to the restaurant.  Sarah says what she has to say she can say here.  She tells them that she couldn't have a child and then give it up.  "If David were to marry me..." she says.  "No," says David firmly.  He says even if Barbara wanted to give him up, he wouldn't marry her. 

 

Sarah Alexander tells David and Barbara that there is only one thing to do, and says she will phone the clinic in the morning.  David says this is unbelievable, how dare she use a childs life in this way.  "Get out of here.  Get out of this motel.  Get out of my life!" shouts David.

Jill Chance finds Barbara Hunter in the sitting room and tells them that she has just seen Sarah Alexander and she told her that she was leaving.  Barbara says Sarah said she would give them a week, but she must have made up her mind to have the abortion.  Jill says that's awful.  Barbara tells Jill that this was her last chance to have David's child, and Jill says maybe it is best this way.  Barbara says yes maybe, for their marriage, that's if they can still salvage it.  She says she isn't sure that what they have is worth a child's life.

David Hunter and Sarah Alexander talk in the sitting room.  David tells her that he isn't asking to adopt the child now, he is just pleading for the child's life.  He asks her to give him a week.  Sarah tells David that she has loved him for twenty years so she will give him a week. 

 

Later Barbara joins David in the sitting room and asks him if Sarah is staying on.  David tells her that Sarah said she will give them a week.  Barbara says she could divorce him, she has grounds.  "Don't leave me.  There's only so much I can take," says David.
