Just when Jack is running to Peggy to inform her that he has finally got a divorce and that they can finally be together, she goes to Chris to tell her about her secret relationship with his professor and ask her for advice. Not finding her at home, Peggy enters and decides to wait for her return; however, Chris' door was opened by a mysterious man who abuses the young girl, still a virgin. When Chris is informed by his sister about the rape, she tries to console Peggy and make her overcome this terrible trauma, experienced by Chris herself years before. Peggy soon finds the confidence and strength to report the incident. When she is shown some suspects to the police, Peggy recognizes her rapist in Ron, which leaves Chris shocked. Despite all the violence she has suffered, Nancy cannot believe that Ron could have done such a thing and takes her husband's side. Chris herself, moreover, shows doubts, not knowing how Ron could have broken into her home. In the trial, meanwhile, Ron is exonerated for lack of evidence; however, shortly afterwards, it is Nancy herself who realizes her husband's guilt, having found a note with Chris' address in his jacket. As soon as she confronted her husband, Nancy was beaten up and Ron ran away. Nancy goes to Chris to tell her the whole truth, but once they get to the police, the two women are disappointed to discover that it is not possible to start the procedures for an arrest warrant, since the case has already been judged and the evidence is insufficient to reopen the case. Ron, meanwhile, has now gone off the grid. Nancy, meanwhile, is showing more and more signs of emotional and mental instability and is being admitted to a mental institution. Little Karen is thus temporarily placed in the care of Chris and Snapper, who are happy to be able to give her some peace of mind and love.
