1988 (#3) - The honeymoon in Hawaii, the break-in of Leanna and the flirt with Jack

A few days after Ashley and Stevens' wedding, the two decide to leave for their honeymoon in Hawaii. Both of them are warmly greeted by everyone, especially Jack who shows much more approval for Ashley's marriage to Steven than for Traci's marriage to Brad, being Jack convinced that Brad only wants their money while, on the contrary, Steven has never insinuated that he wants to leave his profession. Shortly after the two of them left, a woman named Leanna Randolph arrives in town, who introduces herself to Jack as Steven's girlfriend. Jack, quite bewildered and surprised, informs the woman that Steven has just gotten married and is on his honeymoon with Ashley, his sister. Leanna, annoyed and apparently distraught, abruptly says goodbye to Jack, despite the fact that there was immediately a good vibe between the two of them, and leaves for Hawaii in search of her Steven. Leanna, in fact, is a former patient of Steven's, madly in love with him and ready to do anything to get him; even track him down on his honeymoon. Once in Hawaii, Leanna doesn't take long to track down the couple and soon puts her plan into action: kill Ashley! Leanna, thus, posing as a waitress at the resort, unnoticed by Jack, tries to poison the woman, who is promptly admitted to the emergency room. When he receives Jack's phone call informing him of the arrival in town of a strange woman who claims to be his girlfriend, Steven immediately becomes suspicious. Soon, Leanna shows up in front of Steven, who orders her to leave his life immediately. The man then informs Ashley, who in the meantime has recovered, of the woman's presence and explains the situation. The honeymoon goes on smoothly without Leanna ever showing up again; Steven, then, confronts the woman again only when he returns to Genoa City, where he finds out, astonished, that Leanna has meanwhile started dating Jack; Ashley's attempts to persuade her brother to go out with her were useless, since Jack reassures her that there is nothing binding between them. Steven finally reassures his wife by telling her that he will resume his sessions with her immediately, as it is clear that she still needs psychiatric treatment.
