1987 (#14) - The scandal of Paul's photos and the end of Lauren's tormented affair

When the editor of the magazine, Susan Brown, calls Lauren to congratulate her on her victory, she is astonished, believing it to be a mistake. Amy, then, admits her responsibility and Lauren, sure that Paul would not agree at all with the choice to appear in such a newspaper, is convinced to refuse the prize. However, she changes her mind when Susan informs her that the prize is also $10,000, which convinces her to accept instinctively. Meanwhile, a very happy Paul informs his family and Lauren that Mayor Jim Cooper has decided to award him in a public ceremony for his fight against prostitution and pornography. It is at this moment, then, that Lauren realizes that Paul's reputation would be ridiculed if his photos were published; bitterly regretting having accepted the award, Lauren immediately contacts Susan to stop the magazine's press, but it is too late. Lauren's extreme attempt was to use the prize money to buy back all the copies of the magazine; but despite all Nathan and Amy's efforts, the photos spread, so much so that some girls complimented Paul's bold poses right in front of the official lunch with the mayor and two upset Paul and Mary. Completely angry and enraged, Paul decides to end the relationship despite Lauren's vain attempts to make peace and be forgiven. In the end, the two agreed that the best solution was to remain simply good friends.
