The Edge of Night

Monday, April 1, 1957

Mattie feared that Cora's arrest will bring shame on the family and began to doubt Cora's innocence. Ella Battle told husband Wyn that she'll allow Betty-Jean and Jack to see each other again, but a furious Wyn informed Ella that Jack's drunken aunt was arrested under suspicion of murder. Despite protests from Ella and Betty-Jean, Wyn warned Betty-Jean against ever seeing Jack again. Betty-Jean chose her parents when Jack forced her to decide between them. Sara tried to take Cora a vanity kit, but the matron wouldn't let Cora have it, because it contained a glass mirror.
