1990 (#32) - Katherine's sights and Jill's dual involvement with Rex and John

While Rex's plan to discredit Leanna has failed, we certainly can't say that the kiss between the two hasn't had consequences. Katherine, once again determined to have her ex-husband back and ready to start a new war against Jill, decides to take advantage of the situation in order to distance Rex and Jill and, therefore, make Rex come back to her. Katherine, therefore, does everything she can to convince Leanna to date the man, who in the meantime has revealed himself to the woman with his true identity. Rex and Leanna, in fact, continue to see each other, which annoys Jill. The situation gets worse when Jill begins to feel neglected by Rex's useless and vain attempt to take her daughter Gina away from Clint. Not at all willing to be put on the back burner, Jill begins to look elsewhere, deciding to start seeing John again, who in the meantime admits to her that he cannot forget her. For a short time, then, Jill finds herself dating both Rex and John, each of whom is unaware of the situation and believes he is the only man in the woman's life. This, however, does not go unnoticed by Katherine's watchful eyes, and she decides to move on to the final part of her plan, which is to bring the truth out into the light of day. Unbeknownst to Rex and Jill, Katherine confides to John that she is happy for his reunion with Jill and that she has organized an engagement party for him. Jill is happy to accept John's invitation, but does not suspect that Katherine has urged Rex to come to the party to tell Jill of his feelings. As soon as she arrives at Katherine's house, Jill immediately senses the woman's intentions, but is unable to prevent John, in the middle of dinner, from pulling out a flashy ring asking Jill to be his wife. The scene is witnessed by a distraught Rex, who doesn't understand what's going on despite Jill desperately trying to remedy the situation by taking John out and making the guests believe that John, having had a few too many drinks, is not fully lucid. However, it is clear that John is perfectly sober and instead Jill has more than something to explain. Both Rex and John come to the same conclusion, realizing that they have been deceived by the woman and deciding to immediately end their relationship with Jill under Katherine's satisfied and amused eyes. Katherine, after having made sure that Leanna has no intention of continuing to see Rex, not wanting to be the second choice after Jill, is ready to run to console the man, who gets closer to Katherine.
