Truro County, Florida's favourite son Fielding Carlyle (Mark Harmon), candidate for state senate, has an important speech scheduled in Talahassee. His gorgeous wife Constance (Morgan Fairchild) is excited to go until he tells her he is going alone. By 'alone' he means with his mistress Lane Ballou (Cristina Raines) with whom he has rekindled a romance.
Crooked town sheriff Titus Semple (Howard Duff) is too invested in Carlyle to see him court potential scandal by taking up with Lane, a woman who is not his wife & who works in a brothel & who used to be stripper at a carnival midway. But Titus has been unsuccessful in railroading Lane out of town.
Titus attempts to concoct a more effective form of persuasion to derail Carlyle's dalliance with Lane.
Strapped for cash needed to modernize his paper mill, town power baron Claude Weldon (Kevin McCarthy) sells land to construction magnate Sam Curtis (John Beck). The land had been in his wife Eudora's family for generations.
This episode focused on a more character-driven approach to the narrative yet still featured over-the-top performances as well as one-dimensional ones. As far as night-time soaps go Flamingo Road lagged far behind Dallas and Falcon Crest and even Dynasty and Knots Landing.
