1980 (#22) - The clashes in Santo Domingo and Lucas' meeting with Jonas and Priscilla

The excited days in Genoa City spent with Leslie's research unfortunately lead to no results. In addition to the despair over Leslie's disappearance, there is soon the drama underway in Santo Domingo, where there is absolutely no comforting news. In fact, Sebastian Crown, head of the division of Prentiss Industries in the region, informs Lucas and Vanessa about the civil revolution taking place in the country after the military dictatorship took power. Finding the company in great danger, Lucas, who has previous military experience, decides to leave for the island together with a group of army volunteers to fight to protect the local population and his company. Lucas thus provides the funding and the jet to travel to the island. The call to arms is answered by Jonas, who also has a military background; and Priscilla, eager to follow her beloved to the end of the world, despite Jonas' recommendations, decides to leave and sneaks onto the jet. The fighting in Santo Domingo lasted for over a week, in which everyone in Genoa City was in great apprehension. In the end, the attempted coup was thwarted and the danger hanging over the population and the division of Prentiss Industries was stopped. Back on the jet, Lucas doesn't believe his eyes when he recognizes in Priscilla's face his Leslie; Lucas starts talking to the woman who, despite her different look, is evidently his current wife. But when Priscilla is annoyed by Lucas' insistent questions, it is Jonas who intervenes and tells Lucas to stay away from his woman. Lucas, however, returns to Genoa City convinced that he has found the woman.
