1991 (#6) - Brad and Cassandra's Aspen trip and Las Vegas wedding

Despite Cassandra's intentions to elevate her professional relationship with Brad to a purely sentimental one, he doesn't seem to want to follow up on her advances, wanting to concentrate exclusively on recovering his relationship with Traci, with whom he is slowly reconciling and rediscovering the feeling of the past. And so, when Brad makes it clear to Cassandra that there will never be anything between them, the woman prepares a plan to have the man all to herself. Cassandra, in fact, convinces Brad to go skiing for a weekend together in Aspen as simple friends, but along the way the woman drugs the man with substances in the coffee and instead of Aspen she flies to Las Vegas. Here, the two get married without Brad being conscious and capable of understanding. Only the next morning, when he wakes up in Cassandra's bed without remembering anything about the wedding, Brad realizes that he has done something stupid. Awaiting him awake with a big smile on his face is Cassandra, who informs him of the wedding and of their night of passion spent together. Brad, on hearing these words, is literally shocked, wondering how he could have done this to Traci, accusing Cassandra of manipulating him. Brad then calls Traci, lying and informing her that he couldn't return to Genoa City before a few days due to a snowstorm; meanwhile, Brad tries hard to find a solution that he can't see. And the sensual presence of Cassandra, who never stops provoking and tempting him, finally convinces him that it's not so bad to be married to a woman as beautiful as her after all. In Genoa City, meanwhile, Traci worries about what Brad and Cassandra are doing in Aspen, not hiding her fears about Cassandra's real intentions and her desire to reach them to see for herself. Similarly, it is Paul who is jealous of Brad, showing that he still has strong feelings towards the woman, despite all the misadventures he has been through with her. This is something that Lynne, Paul's secretary, who has been hoping to have a chance with the man for years, is unable to understand. Back in Genoa City, Brad and Cassandra tell everyone that they got married in Las Vegas, causing quite a stir. Traci is incredulous at Brad's words and is furious with him, unable to believe that he had the courage to do such a thing; Jack himself, who has recently taken over at Jabot, is disappointed, as are John and Ashley at the man's behavior, and hope that he will never have to deal with Traci or the company again. Victor, on the other hand, is rather impassive and does not take an official position, since he is still one of his most important collaborators. The marriage of Cassandra and Brad, however, leaves its mark also on another side, that of Paul, who doesn't hide that he still has feelings for the woman, despite everything. Both Lauren and Lynne, however, are happy about Cassandra's marriage, which they hope will lead Paul to leave behind his interest in the woman. The situation, then, degenerates when Paul and Brad even end up at each other's hands because of the policeman's accusations of wanting to take advantage of the woman.
