1980 (#8) - Jill's intrusions, Liz's forgiveness and marriage to Stuart

After the divorce from Jill, without having to give up his property, Stuart is finally free to get back with Liz. Jill's mother, however, seems ready, under pressure from Greg and Chris, to forgive the man and reconcile with him.
