1979 (#21) - Jill's waiver and Katherine's interruption of her marriage to Derek

An angry Katherine, meanwhile, lives in the shadows, waiting for the right time to turn up. Believed and officially declared dead at the fire at the psychiatric institution, Katherine attends her funeral curiously, and of course disguised. Determined to take revenge on Suzanne, who was almost killing her, Katherine thus begins to appear before the woman, who thinks she is hallucinating or, even worse, she thinks she's in front of the Katherine's ghost. Katherine's repeated threats soon bring Suzanne to the brink of a nervous breakdown until a worried Derek decides to have her examined by a specialist, who advises him to hospitalize her in a psychiatric center. Meanwhile, while Jill is busy in court getting her share from the divorce from Stuart, the woman gets a lot of psychological support from Derek, with whom she soon reconnects. The man, who is ready to declare Katherine dead and inherit her fortune, has his heart divided between Jill and Suzanne. Undecided who is the right woman for him, he soon realizes that what he really wants is not to get back with his ex-wife, who seems to have completely lost her mind, but to be together with Jill to finally defeat the Destiny that since always seems to turn against them. Derek's choice naturally makes Jill happy, but it fills Katherine's eyes with hate, who can't believe how Jill can once again set her eyes on her man. The rapid evolution of the love story between Derek and Jill leads her to want to end her marriage to Stuart as soon as possible, even at the cost of losing a lot of money: after all, she is tired of waiting and Derek, having inherited Katherine's fortune, certainly has no financial problems. Surprisingly, then, Jill announces in front of an astonished Stuart that she wants to give up any claim, in order to get a divorce immediately. A happy Stuart naturally accepts Jill's request, free at last to cultivate her dream of love. So the long-awaited wedding day arrives between an excited Derek and a very happy Jill, but it is precisely on this occasion that Katherine decides to show up again and reappear in front of her acquaintances; the woman thus stops the wedding right at the culmination, claiming her property and, above all, her husband. Everyone is shocked to recognize Katherine and to find her alive again; but joy naturally leads to amazement, first of all Derek's, and disbelief mixed with Jill's disappointment. Jill, who had given up a probable good exit from her marriage to Stuart to be with Derek, is thus forced to remain, once again, empty-handed.
