1993 (#32) - The trip to Catalina and Scott's death from leukemia

Back in Los Angeles, more convinced than ever that she wants to continue her marriage with Eric, Sheila can't imagine that the man, more and more suspicious of Sheila's strange behavior and warned by Stephanie, surprisingly reveals that he is ready for a divorce; and this also because all the stress caused by his marriage is probably the real cause of his lack of creative vein. The woman, surprised and panic-stricken, tearfully asks her husband for a second chance, proposing a new beginning with the renewal of his vows on a romantic trip to Catalina Island. Eric agrees, but at the same time warns Sheila that what she intends to give him is the last chance. As soon as she hears about Eric and Sheila's trip, Lauren convinces her husband, who has just been released from the hospital, to go to the island as well with the intent of getting the man back on track, but more importantly to tell Eric the whole truth. At Catalina, Lauren tries several times to approach Eric by following him while he's shopping with Sheila, but due to a fainting spell by the unsuspecting and increasingly fatigued Scott, she is unable to approach them. Lauren immediately notices that Scott appears very tired and debilitated, but she doesn't imagine that he was actually discharged because he was terminally ill, unbeknownst to Lauren, who believes he's cured. Sheila and Eric meanwhile during their vacation, which turns out to be very romantic and a real honeymoon, get very close and make love. Soon Lauren finally manages to meet Eric, but before she can reveal the truth about Sheila, she is surprised to see Scott pretending not to know Sheila. Stunned, Lauren asks Scott for an explanation who reveals to her that he is already aware that Sheila is alive and not mad at her, which makes Lauren realize that Scott is still in love with Sheila. Just as Lauren and the woman have yet another confrontation, and the argument turns into a full-blown fight, Scott begins to feel sick and calls for help from Sheila who immediately runs to him. Lauren waits for Eric to finally tell him the whole truth, but just as she is about to do so Sheila calls them warning them that Scott is very sick. Lauren rushes to her husband who, on the verge of death, makes her swear to give Sheila another chance by not revealing anything to Eric. Shortly after, Scott dies leaving both Sheila and Lauren in despair.
