1982 (#33) - The rivalry between Allison and Katherine

Happy about the breakup between Nikki and Kevin, Allison is simultaneously trying to rebuild her marriage to Earl. Although he has decided not to divorce his wife, he continues meanwhile to hang out with Katherine, with whom he pleasantly remembers their past. The relationship between the two is strengthened to the point of convincing Allison to ask for a meeting with the woman to propose a settlement. It is in fact Allison who tells Katherine that she is willing at this point to give up Earl, not wanting to continue living in a marriage that is turning into a farce; but in exchange for her divorce, Allison asks Katherine to help her become more attractive to men, confessing to envy her ability to surround herself with younger men. Katherine accepts and thus begins to show her secrets as a charmer; what Katherine does not know is that Allison intends to use these tricks precisely to win back Earl and return to a fully satisfying marriage with him. And as time goes by, things actually seem to change in favor of Allison, who admits, after being seen by Earl himself, that she went to Katherine's class and wants to show him what she has learned. Allison and Earl's marriage thus strengthened as never before, and the man stopped seeing Katherine, who resigned herself to accepting that Earl would never divorce Allison.
