Steven, meanwhile, wanting to put aside his misunderstandings with Peggy about the job offer he received, decides to formalize his relationship with Peggy by asking for her hand, unaware, of course, that the woman had slept with Jack. Peggy, also pushed by Stuart and Steve's parents who approve the report, accepts the proposal, although she feels afraid for a step she is not yet ready for. As time goes by, moreover, the approaching marriage inexorably causes more and more doubts in the girl's soul, who unconsciously begins to feel more and more feelings for Jack. Throughout the wedding preparations, in fact, an unconscious Jack, convinced that the night spent with Peggy doesn't mean anything to the girl and that he considers it a simple escapade as he does, undermines Peggy's commitment to Steven, filling her with doubts big enough to make her wonder if she's doing the right thing. Steve himself, perceiving some distance from the girl, has tried to reassure Peggy that their love is strong enough to overcome her doubts. Peggy, however, with the inexorable approach of the wedding, can't help thinking about what she feels for Jack and, secretly, starts hoping to make him jealous, although the boy doesn't seem to notice it. When the big day finally arrives, Peggy, feeling captive and oppressed in a marriage that she doesn't really want, makes the difficult decision to renounce her own wedding right at the altar, surprisingly cancelling the wedding saying she's not ready for such a big step. Steven, completely shocked and stunned by Peggy, reluctantly accepts the girl's decision; and with a broken heart, the man decides to leave Genoa City for Washington, where Steven's second thoughts about the job offer are immediately accepted. A broken Peggy, aware that she has broken the heart of the only man who has ever loved her, is consoled by Stuart, who reassures her that she has made the right decision if that is what she feels. Peggy, finally, decides not to reveal to anyone the reasons why she decided to break off the wedding, and therefore her secret love for Jack, deciding to commit to forget the man, knowing that there can be no future between them.
