Hotel

Trials (1x22)

Fecha de emisión: May 02, 1984

Adele Ellsworth, her two sons Luther and Brendon, and another family member, Edgar, hold Mrs. Cabot, Peter and Christine at gunpoint and demand justice for Adele's husband, Ellis, a workman who died at the hotel two years before. They accuse Mrs. Cabot of forcing the workers to continue working into the night, leading Ellis to become exhausted and fall off the building. Contradicting Edgar's version of events, Mrs. Cabot points out that the foreman never warned her of safety dangers. Eventually, Edgar admits that he lied to the family, because Ellis had fallen after getting drunk during an afternoon tryst with another woman. Billy introduces Mark to a discotheque go-go girl, Doris O'Neil, whom Mark recognizes from his health club. Doris aspires to be an interior designer and has told her family that she is decorating the hotel. She needs Mark's help to corroborate her story, and also to make it look like she and Mark are dating, another fib she has told her family.
