1982 (#30) - Kevin's awakening and the reunion with Carolyn

Having rushed to the hospital at Kevin's bedside, Nikki is desperate finding her husband in a very serious condition. Here Nikki finds an angry Allison with the woman who accuses her of ruining her son's life. Nikki rejects the accusations, but when she finds herself praying for him, she realizes that she has involved Kevin in a marriage he doesn't deserve with a woman he doesn't love. She thus promises before God to let Kevin free to make his own choices in case he wakes up and gets through this difficult moment. As soon as Nikki returns to Kevin's room, she is surprised to see her husband who has just regained consciousness. Kevin, still confused, turns to Nikki calling her Carolyn and, interpreting this as a sign of destiny, Nikki understands how the man should be with the only woman he loves, Carolyn. Nikki thus tells a radiant Allison that she has decided to divorce Kevin in order to let him go with Carolyn. This, immediately warned by Allison, makes her return to the city to be close to Kevin, who soon recovers and heals. Kevin is sorry to hear Nikki's words of wanting a divorce, but in his heart, although he has grown fond of Nikki, he still loves Carolyne and so he starts dating her throughout his rehabilitation period. Nikki, by her side, tries to convince an irremovable Victor that they are meant to be together, trying in vain to seduce him. Disappointed by the fact that the man has no intention of recognizing the unborn child as her son and does not even want to hear about a possible relationship with Nikki, she decides to leave Genoa City.
