The happiness and serenity of Blade, who is beginning preparations for his marriage to Ashley, is shattered when a girl named Mari Jo Mason is hired as head of Jabot's art department. Visibly unnerved by Mari Jo's presence, Blade hides his concerns from Ashley but can't help but try to avoid the woman lest he come to terms with his past again. It is Mari Jo, however, who contacts what turns out to have been her ex-boyfriend, Blade. After both of them realize that they have changed their names, since in the past Mari Jo's name was Marilyn, the woman reveals to the man that she has been informed of his upcoming marriage to Ashley and, while wishing him well in his new life, invites him to a meeting to talk to him, assuring him that his secret is safe with her. Blade, however, not at all happy to find himself face to face with Mari Jo, who is evidently still in love with him, refuses the invitation. Blade then accuses Mari Jo of her betrayal with her twin brother Rick, informing her that he has never forgiven her and wants her out of his life. Mari Jo, disappointed by Blade's hostile attitude, with whom she hoped to reconcile, reminds Blade not to play with fire, as she is the only witness to what happened in his past and would be ready to reveal it if necessary. In fact, it turns out that in the past Blade, after discovering he was betrayed by Mari Jo, starts a violent argument with Rick, with whom he starts a frightening brawl along an abandoned pier. When Rick loses his balance and falls into the water, Blade, knowing that his brother was unable to swim, ignored his pleas for help, leaving him to drown under the eyes of a helpless and distraught Mari Jo, who has just arrived on the scene and who sees this tragedy unfolding in the distance. Blade orders the woman to leave Genoa City, giving her a four-week ultimatum to settle her contract at Jabot.
