1989 (#15) - Cassandra's betrayals and George's deadly revenge

As the months go by, George's condition gradually seems to improve, even though he is aware that he does not have long to live. His wife Cassandra is obviously by his side and caring for him, convinced that the man doesn't remember anything about his confession; however, she doesn't imagine that her husband is slowly bringing back her memories and that, therefore, he doesn't trust her at all. And being convinced that Cassandra is cheating on him, George rents a room right in front of Paul's apartment, spying from morning to night with binoculars. George's observations always seem to be disappointing, until the man's suspicions materialize: his wife Cassandra and his friend Paul, whom he has always considered as a son, are lovers. The image of the two in each other's arms throws George into a blinding rage that leads him to harbor a desire for revenge. George, thus, begins to put in place an accurate plan that must absolutely be infallible. After painstakingly filing the safety pin on his gun, George asks Paul to have it repaired; later, George himself writes a letter in which he accuses Paul of fraud, creating a series of fake invoices on which Paul allegedly made money in his surveillance work at Ra-Tech. George then skillfully staged an argument in front of an astonished Paul, so that Victor could hear them. When Paul finally returns the repaired gun to George, who thus obtains the man's fingerprints on his gun, the plan can finally be put into action. By hiring a serial killer to kill with George's gun without leaving prints, the man gets himself killed so that Paul can be blamed. It upsets Brittany to find her uncle's body in a pool of blood first. And the upset of everyone, Paul first along with two destroyed Patricia and Ernest, soon turns to disbelief when Paul is accused and arrested for fraud and put on the list of prime suspects in the investigation of George's murder. It is at this moment that Paul, should the police discover that he and Cassandra are having an affair, realizes alarmed that he could be accused of murder.
