1991 (#20) - Brock's intervention and Clint's redemption

Rex immediately informs Katherine about the fact that Gina hides in the house with her husband. The woman doesn't seem surprised by Gina's behavior, but swears to herself that she will make this situation end as soon as possible. Despite her intentions, however, Gina doesn't let Katherine convince her, and instead tries to get an enraged Mrs. Chancellor to keep her cool, trying to make her understand that she loves Clint more than her own life and that she couldn't live without him. Gina then tries to make Katherine understand that she needed to protect him and begs Katherine to keep quiet. Katherine leaves the house completely stunned, but promises herself that she will make Clint pay for the pain he has caused her. Realizing that Katherine has been upset by her encounter with Clint, it is Brock's turn to go to Gina's house to try to reason with her, but even this meeting proves fruitless as she will not budge from her position. Ignoring Gina's plea to give Clint a second chance, Brock leaves Gina's house informing her that he is on his way to the police to report Clint's presence in her house. But, as soon as he leaves Gina's house, Brock is attacked and assaulted by a group of armed robbers. Clint, from the top of the window, immediately notices the ambush against Brock, and, without a second thought, puts his fugitive status at risk to come out to his rescue. In the end, Clint manages to put the thugs on the run, effectively saving Brock's life; however, in the ambush Clint is struck by a gunshot probably aimed at Brock. Admitted to the hospital under a false name, Clint receives treatment from doctors and wakes up out of danger. Waiting for him to wake up is a moved Gina, who together with Brock and Katherine have been watching over him and praying for him. A joyful Katherine does not stop thanking the man for saving her son's life; at the same time, Rex cannot believe Katherine's words about Clint's gesture of altruism, happy to have shown his wife for the first time what she already knew, that he too has a heart. In a sincere and intense discourse between men, Clint assures Rex that he never intended to hurt Gina and that his feelings for her are true; and it is because of the genuine love he feels for Gina that the man decides to turn himself in and pay his debt to justice. Desperate at the news, Gina begs the man to run away with her, no matter where. However, Clint admits to the woman that he does not deserve her and that he wants to finally redeem himself since she has transformed him into a better man. Clint turns himself in to the cops who take him back to prison to finish his sentence.
