1980 (#15) - The hospitality of Lorie, the cohabitation with Lance, the collapse of Leslie

Happy and convinced more than ever of their love, Lance and Lorie, after the Parisian parenthesis and the awkward presence of Monique, live happy and serene moments. It is precisely Lorie's conviction that nothing could separate her from Lance, which convinces her to propose to the man the possibility of hosting Leslie and little Brooks in their home, convinced that her sister might need help now that she has separated from Lucas. Lorie then proposes to Leslie to come and live with them, so that she can raise Brooks in a family environment. Initially skeptical, Leslie refuses Lorie's help, but soon is convinced when Lorie reassures her that it's not a problem for Lance and that she wants to make herself useful for her sister. In the end, Leslie, whose feelings for Lance have never completely faded, accepts the invitation, intrigued by this new adventure. However the problems that this difficult cohabitation promises to bring out, comes into surface. Lorie shows jealousy of the understanding between Lance and Leslie, and invites her not to take advantage of the hospitality by trying to steal her husband; at the same time, Leslie feels increasingly uncomfortable with the presence of Lance, to whom she feels increasingly attracted, and begins to feel a sense of suffocation and stress that inevitably falls on the child. Leslie thus makes the decision to leave town and informs Lorie that she has decided to leave with Brooks so as not to cause problems to her marriage. Convinced that Lorie is happy about her sister's choice, Leslie is shocked when Lorie begins to insinuate that the baby should stay with her and Lance, Lance being the baby's father after all. At this point, Leslie is shocked to learn that Lorie is also aware of the truth, and runs away before suffering a sudden new mental breakdown.
