1987 (#17) - Janet's thirst for revenge, the threats against Farren and Evan's death

In Pittsburgh, the procedural steps to formalize the annulment of the marriage between Evan and Farren were delayed and the situation, meanwhile, became increasingly tense. All this until Evan, now realizing he still loves his Michelle, informs Janet that he cannot marry her since she is not the woman he loves. Janet thus sees the world collapse on her and all her dreams are shattered; and she sees Farren as solely responsible for all this. When Evan begs Janet to do her things and leave, Janet does not hesitate for a moment to leave Evan's house, on her way to the hotel where Farren is staying. Evan soon realizes that Janet has also taken his gun with her, and immediately runs after her, reaching her in Farren's hotel room, finding her threatened by Janet screaming in her face that she has ruined her life. The situation explodes when Andy decides to intervene; Janet decides to shoot, but in an extreme act of love the bullet is taken by Evan, who interposes himself between Janet and Farren in order to protect her. Evan, on the ground, is immediately taken to the hospital by Andy under the eyes of a shocked Farren, who takes care to call the police and have Janet arrested. When Evan is taken to the hospital, it is already very serious, but he finds the strength to be able to tell Farren his last wishes. The two of them agree on the need to tell Betsy the truth, which is that it is Farren who is her mother. Andy, understanding the intimacy of this moment, steps aside and waits for the two parents to live alone with little Betsy this touching moment of intimacy. A few hours later, Evan dies leaving Farren and his daughter in tears. Andy and Farren are so alone with little Betsy that they decide to adopt and raise her together. Before dying, moreover, Evan, in a last gesture of generosity, signs the papers declaring the end of his marriage with Michelle, aka Farren, starting from the date of her disappearance; a stratagem, this to make the union between Andy and Farren completely valid and, at the same time, not to invalidate the previous marriage of the couple, an event that would not allow Betsy to inherit Evan's possessions. Back in Genoa City, Andy and Farren then inform Paul and Lauren that they want to move permanently to Pittsburgh to give way to Betsy not to have to suffer too much for the already many changes that there have been. After a few days, Andy and Farren start their new life in Pittsburgh together with Betsy.

1987 (#10) - Evan's divorce papers, Farren's memories and Janet's jealousy

When a voluminous envelope of paper arrives in Andy and Farren's mailbox that is nothing more than a copy of the divorce papers between Evan and Michelle, Farren is shocked. Andy explains to the woman that she and Evan were married and now the man intends to close this chapter of her life forever. Andy and Farren, worried that their marriage may be declared illegitimate, understand that they must ensure that their previous marriage to Evan is declared null and void. And supported also by Lauren, who still hopes that feelings can born again between Evan and Farren, Andy and Farren decide to leave for Pittsburgh to unravel this difficult judicial matter. What Andy doesn't know, however, is that Farren is anxious to return to the city of her previous life as she is beginning to have memories of Evan and Betsy. Arrived at the man's house, to welcome Farren there is a not certainly enthusiastic Janet, who is immediately jealous and annoyed by the presence of the woman. When Farren explains the whole matter to Evan, he understands the situation and agrees to make their previous marriage null and void, but he is surprised when Farren asks him about his right to visit and to be with Betsy as the child's mother. Evan, shocked, understands that Farren begins to remember something about her life; and suddenly, all his hopes and dreams set aside come back. Evan proposes to Farren and Andy to move in with them temporarily but, especially because of Janet's unhappy reaction and Andy's obvious difficulty, in the end everyone agrees that it is better to get a hotel room. Farren, meanwhile, reassures Andy about her love, while at the same time Evan begins to have doubts about his decision to marry Janet, who realizes the man's feelings and appears very worried.

1987 (#5) - Farren's abortion, the meeting with Betsy and Evan's promises to Janet

Determined to put Farren's previous life behind them, Andy and the same woman decide to focus on marriage, as they both intend to start a family and have a baby. After numerous attempts, a very happy Farren tells Andy that she is pregnant. The joy in the family, however, lasts only a few weeks, since Farren, hospitalized due to a sudden loss of consciousness, is informed by doctors that she has lost the baby. Lauren says she is sorry for the miscarriage, and in the meantime she informs Evan of the episode; despite much resistance, he is finally convinced by Lauren to return to Genoa City, this time with her baby girl, Betsy. Comforting by the words of Dr. Mark Sloan, who confirms to Lauren and Evan that currently nothing prevents Farren from regaining her memory and that this could happen at any time, the man is convinced to appear before Farren again, if only to introduce her to his daughter, who could certainly help her both to remember her past and to comfort her for the abortion. Once again, however, Farren admits that she does not recognize a familiar face in either Evan or Betsy. Although this time the meeting was more colloquial and serene, Evan once again convinces himself that he will probably never get his ex-wife back and decides to put an end to it. After all, Evan has been having an affair with his housekeeper, Janet Moss, for some time now, and he intends to strengthen that relationship by putting Michelle behind him definitively. Janet is excited to hear from her partner that he will soon send Farren the divorce papers, as he is officially still linked to the woman. Evan, thus, promises to an ecstatic Janet who will soon become his wife.

1987 (#2) - Lauren's plan and the disappointing encounter between Farren and Evan

Back in Genoa City, Lauren is determined more than ever to ensure that Farren's true identity is revealed. So Lauren and Paul contact Andy and explain the situation to him. Andy is initially furious with Lauren for her constant intrusions, but soon he is convinced by Paul that the only thing to do is to face the situation together with Farren, without running away or forgetting it by pretending it doesn't exist. Andy then accepts Lauren's plan to have Evan and Farren meet casually in town. The first step was simple for Lauren, that is to convince Evan to show up in Genoa City; much more difficult, however, the meeting with Farren, fixed at the Rendezvous, is expected. Here, Farren is surprised when Evan sits down at her table and starts talking to her excitedly. Farren, who does not recognize the man, thinks he is hitting on her and asks Andy to send him away; but she is shocked when Andy himself asks Farren to listen to Evan. They tell her about their previous life, their marriage, the house in Pittsburgh, the birth of their daughter Betsy. Farren is incredulous to hear those words and her first spontaneous reaction is to run away; soon, however, Andy tries to make her calm and reason, despite Farren confirms that she doesn't even know who that man is and that she has never seen him before. Farren then says again that she doesn't want to go back and dig into her past and that she only wants to think about her present and her future. Lauren is disappointed when Andy tells him about the negative outcome of the meeting and the decision taken together with Farren to put this whole thing behind him in order to move forward; and even more so when Evan, who now seems resigned to having lost his Michelle forever, informs Lauren to return to Pittsburgh.

1986 (#30) - Gary's announcements, the meeting in Pittsburgh of Evan and Lauren

Back to Dr. Sloan's visit, Andy and Farren receive the news from the doctor that the tests were positive, meaning that the woman has no permanent brain damage and that, therefore, there is nothing to prevent Farren from remembering her past, if stimulated. This news gives new vigour to Lauren's research, who talking with her friend Gary Thompson, current director of the Genoa City Chronicle, decides to put an ad for missing women with Farren's face. Soon, to Lauren's great joy, a letter arrives from a certain Wayne Navalle, who says he recognizes Farren as his companion; the encounter with the woman, however, is negative, and Wayne himself admits that Farren is not the woman he is looking for. Lauren seems to be resigned when Gary tells her of the arrival of a second letter from Evan Sanderson, convinced that the woman in the photo is his wife. Lauren decides to keep the news hidden and to go directly to Pittsburgh, where the man lives. Here, Lauren makes the acquaintance of her maid Janet Moss and especially of the man who claims to be Farren's husband, Evan Sanderson. Lauren convinces Evan to return with her to Genoa City, where she also explains to Paul and Andy that Farren's real name is actually Michelle and that he and Michelle were married in Pittsburgh, before Michelle lost track of her. Evan explains how he and Michelle loved each other and that they also had a daughter, a little girl named Betsy. Finally, the man explains to Paul that he searched for the woman from the day she disappeared even after she was declared dead. So far, everything had been in vain, but luckily his prayers were finally heard. Lauren thus returns to Genoa City convinced that she has found the key to separating Andy and Farren.

1986 (#26) - Andy and Farren's wedding and Lauren's trip to Minneapolis

The relationship between Andy and Farren, meanwhile, continues smoothly and without anything or anyone getting in their way, even though Lauren does not resign herself to the idea that Farren, in her mysterious past, may have done something bad. Paul is happy to receive the invitation for him and Lauren herself to their wedding; on hearing the news of Andy and Farren's imminent wedding, however, Lauren receives a real cold shower. The girl, not wanting to receive criticism from Andy or Farren, or create problems in the friendship between Paul and Andy, Lauren accepts the invitation to the wedding, but confides to Paul about the whole Farren thing and finally convinces him that they have to do something. Meanwhile, the wedding day arrives, and Lauren admits that Farren and Andy are really a wonderful couple and that they deserve all the happiness in the world. The ceremony, intimate and very romantic, sees Andy and Farren fulfill their dream of love in front of a few, excited, intimate people. Unaware of the wedding, Diane tries one last desperate attempt to win back Andy, who is shocked to find Diane naked in his bed waiting for him on the wedding night. Farren, enraged, shows the ring to Diane who, in disbelief, apologizes to the couple and decides to leave, preferring to return to London despite Lauren begging her to stay in town as she may still have some hope with Andy. Just when Lauren seems to have no chance to find out the truth, and almost gives up the idea that she can, suddenly Farren disappears for a few days, leaving Andy very upset. Lauren thus regains courage and convinces Paul to investigate the case and search for the truth. In the meantime Farren returns to Genoa City without giving many reasons for her absence, even if in reality she starts to have some memories of her previous life. Without therefore meddling too much in the life of the two newlyweds, Lauren discovers that Farren's accident occurred in Minneapolis and decides to go there to investigate better. Lauren also convinces Andy to go with her, even if the hopes of finding some important clues vanish into thin air; Lauren returns to the city with the only certainty that Farren is not originally from Minneapolis, having found no information neither at the city registry office nor among the missing persons reports. Andy himself is increasingly skeptical in persisting in what has now become a useless search for him.

1986 (#22) - Farren's amnesia and the reconciliation attempt between Andy and Diane

It's not long before Lauren's suspicions and Farren's intuitions prove accurate. Noting in fact Farren quite strange, Andy asks him what's wrong. Despite initial reassurances from Farren, Andy senses that there's something Farren has to tell him and in the end the woman decides to open up completely to him. Farren thus confesses to Andy that she doesn't remember anything from his previous life before a year ago. In fact, the woman can't remember what her real name is, where she comes from or whatever happened to her before she woke up more than a year ago from a hospital bed after a car accident. Andy is completely stunned and shocked by Farren's words, but he promises the woman that he and Paul will investigate her past. Farren explains to Andy how the doctors kept her in a coma for a while before waking her up and realising that her brain has suffered severe memory loss. Andy, convinced by Lauren, decides to take Farren to a doctor specialized in psychology and brain damage, Dr. Mark Sloan, who advises Farren to look only at the future and the present, without worrying too much about her past. Farren, thus, assures Andy that in the end she doesn't care about her past by being happy with him, which is all she wants. Andy embraces his woman and promises that he will take care of her and make her feel safe. Andy then tells Paul the whole thing, while Lauren realizes that Tamra was actually right. Convinced that Farren's past could really hurt Andy, Lauren is even more convinced to follow Tamra's advice and promises to herself that she will succeed in separating Andy and Farren, even though Paul doesn't agree with his girlfriend at all, believing that Farren has the right to be happy too. Lauren thus decides to bring back to Genoa City Andy's greatest love, the beautiful Diane Jenkins, who is willing to try to win Andy back, since she bitterly regrets having asked for a divorce from Andy to pursue the illusion of being with Jack. When Paul explains to Farren that Diane is Andy's ex-wife, she doesn't hide her jealousy, also because Andy is immediately very sympathetic to Diane, which annoys Farren. When Diane informs Andy that she hopes that there may be a second chance between the two of them, without obviously revealing that she was convinced to take this step by Lauren, Andy initially seems undecided what to do, but soon rejects the woman's attempts at courtship, confirming his love for Farren. However, Andy greets Diane with a kiss goodbye accidentally noticed by Farren, who is furious even though she eventually forgives the man. Lauren, thus, is forced to accept the failure of Diane's attempt, while not giving up insisting on finding out the truth about Farren's identity.

1986 (#17) - Lauren's abortion, Paul's return with Paul and Tamra's warning

Lauren's return from San Franciso finally marks the end of a nightmare. Shawn's ghost is in fact just a bad memory; and although it will never be possible to forget the events of the last few months, there is in her an awareness that she has the opportunity to move on. But Lauren is left with the pain of losing her son, Paul's son. Lauren, now disillusioned that she could win the man back, decides to inform him of the truth, that she was expecting a son from him and that, unfortunately, she lost him because of Shawn. Contrary to Lauren's expectations, Paul is very sympathetic and sorry, admitting that he still has strong feelings for the woman. Lauren and Paul, therefore, decide to get back together and be engaged; this time, it is also Mary and Carl who welcome the woman into the family, showing that they have now overcome the old misunderstandings and initial frictions that saw them opposed to the relationship. Mary herself agrees with Lauren's choice not to speed things up too much with Paul and to see how the relationship evolves before possibly talking about a new marriage. Meanwhile, Lauren decides to visit her dear friend Tamra, who has now overcome her problems. Both women say they're lucky to have survived Shawn's murderous rage, after which Tamra, in one of her psychic sessions, reveals to Lauren that she doesn't trust Farren and that she's sure there's something dark about her past behind her. Warned by Tamra, Lauren asks Paul about the couple, but he reassures Lauren that Andy and Farren are really happy together. In fact, after the latest misadventure of Andy, who has now fully recovered from his injury, the man can finally enjoy happy and intense moments together with his girlfriend, despite Lauren promises to investigate thoroughly to find out what Farren is hiding.

1986 (#13) - The shooting and killing of Turk and Shawn and the rescue of Lauren

Upon arrival in San Francisco, Paul, Andy and Jazz immediately set out on the trail of Lauren and Shawn. Helped by the police, who spot the two fugitives, Paul and Andy intercept the man, starting a furious shootout. The dramatic climax is only when the police arrive, helping Paul get the better of Shawn. Turk, mortally wounded, dies on the road, while Shawn, shot dead, dies on his way to the hospital carried by the ambulance. Before dying, a brazen Shawn reveals to a desperate Paul, who asks him to tell him where Lauren is, that the woman has only three hours to live. Jazz, Paul and Andy are desperate, not knowing where the woman is; it is only thanks to the help of psychic Tamra, to whom a desperate and hopeless Paul entrusts all his prayers, to reveal by phone where to find the woman. Paul thus arrives at the San Francisco cemetery where, next to Shawn's mother's grave, there is Lauren's grave. Paul understands that Shawn has buried Lauren alive and begins to dig furiously along with Jazz and Andy who do so in time to dig up the woman. All four of them, now exhausted, are happy to finally put this whole thing behind them.

1986 (#11) - Tamra's recovery, Shawn's insane plan and Turk's redemption

In Genoa City, meanwhile, Dr. Steve Walters is happily surprised to discover that Tamra has finally come out of her coma; evidently, the treatments are working. Upon awakening, the woman's first words are "Lauren" and "danger"; words that prompted Steve to warn Lauren's ex-husband, Paul. They, meanwhile, at the urging of Neil and Joanna, who are not resigned to the idea that Lauren may have abandoned her marriage and family of her own free will, discover things that are not honorable about Shawn and convince themselves to go and find out for themselves what's going on; with him, the inevitable Jazz and a fit Andy, who is convinced of Shawn's hand in her wound. The three of them fly to San Francisco, coordinated by Lieutenant Phil Parker, determined to bring Lauren home. In San Francisco, meanwhile, Lauren is struggling with Shawn's fury and madness, determined to end the woman's life just like he did with hs mother in the past. Lauren finds herself tied up in Shawn's country house, which he has sprinkled with gasoline; however, when Shawn orders his trusty Turk to set the fire, he refuses to commit such a cruel murder and rebels against Shawn, putting him on the run and saving Lauren. Brought to safety by Turk, Lauren soon realizes that Shawn's homicidal mania has certainly not subsided and that he is in pursuit of them; frightened, Turk, while reassuring Lauren that he will do everything possible to save her, asks Shawn for forgiveness for disobeying him and finally manages to convince Shawn not to kill him.

1986 (#6) - Lauren's fears, her divorce from Paul and Tamra's induced coma

Andy's injury scared the hell out of Lauren, who strongly suspects that it was all Shawn's work, finding Andy, at that very moment, in the man's company. The certainties for Lauren come after meeting Tamra, who confesses seeing in Shawn a violent and very dangerous nature, all due to the man's turbulent past and his difficult childhood. Shawn, listening to part of the conversation between Tamra and Lauren, he hears Lauren admit to being afraid of him and hating him to death, with Tamra warning her of what Shawn may be capable of, strongly advising her to get away from him. Not at all happy to hear the words of the two women, Shawn decides that it's time to take action again, this time to get rid of even an uncomfortable person like Tamra: so he begins to poison her unwittingly with a powerful drug in massive and very dangerous doses. Lauren, meanwhile, seeing no other way out, sends Paul the divorce papers, which Paul doesn't take long to sign and return to sender. Lauren, faced with the divorce, cries bitter tears, not even having been able to confess to her now ex-husband that she is expecting a child from him. Meanwhile Andy, hospitalized, receives a visit from Shawn, who hopefully finds Paul himself praying with Farren for Andy's life. Shawn asks about Andy's condition, but Paul immediately answers with a punch. Shawn does not react, but Paul continues to yell at him, blocked only by the arrival of the nurses, so enough to Shawn, who, happy, learns that Lauren has not lied to him when she swore to him that she has now officially divorced the man. Shawn, thus, is pleased to see his plan realized, which soon adds up to a new result, when Lauren learns that Tamra has been hospitalized for poisoning and is now in a pharmacological coma.

1986 (#4) - Lauren's captivity, Shawn's aggression, and Andy's injury

The start of the forced move into Shawn's house, for Lauren, was only the first episode of what would soon turn into a nightmare. As time went by, Shawn became more and more possessive and violent towards Lauren, turning his house into a real prison for the woman, who was soon prevented from going out and even meeting her parents, who were increasingly worried about her daughter's strange behaviour. All this, for the fear that the woman might meet up with Paul. Shawn's aggressiveness soon begins to scare the hell out of poor Lauren, who realizes that the man is suffering from a real psychosis and is therefore dealing with a crazy person. Meanwhile, Paul's belief that Shawn is hiding something vanishes more and more, partly because Shawn himself is doing everything he can to make Paul believe that the decision to abandon him was made voluntarily by the woman. Meanwhile, she realizes with great desperation that she is pregnant with Paul, an event that could put both her life and her husband's at risk. Lauren tries every way to get in touch with Paul, but Shawn prevents her from doing so; and convinced that the time has come to eliminate the man, Shawn calls Turk and warns him to take action. Meanwhile, Andy introduces Farren to his old friend Paul, not suspecting that Turk is secretly ready to collude. A first shot from Turk misses the target, but just enough to scare Farren and alert both Andy and Paul, who responds to the fire. A second bullet from Turk aimed at Paul does not end in vain this time, but it mistakenly hits Andy, who, wounded, falls to the ground in a pool of blood. Farren and Paul, thus, run to the hospital, where Andy is admitted to intensive care halfway between life and death under the care of Dr. Hank Steele.

1986 (#1) - Andy's decision and his association with Farren

After a few years of fighting crime alongside justice, Andy realises that he is tired of fighting crime on a daily basis. It is at this circumstance that Andy confesses to Jazz and Paul that he has made the difficult decision of wanting to leave the detective agency, being tired of that life and not wanting to risk his life anymore; Paul, Jazz and Nathan reluctantly accept the decision of the man, wishing him all the best and promising to remain friends. Meanwhile, a thoughtful Andy decides to treat himself to an evening away from bad thoughts by venting his anxieties alone at a new club in town, the Rendezvous. Over a glass of whiskey, Andy notices the sensual and sweet voice of a singer, and is immediately struck by the shock. After the girl's performance, Andy grows self-confidence and decides to go and meet her; it's Farren, the girl who was in Danny and Lauren's group for a short time, before being excluded by Shawn's manipulations. Farren and Andy spend a lot of time talking about Farren's passions and Andy's life, which is now at a crossroads. Suddenly, the girl decides to kiss Andy, and an irresistible passion is born between the two. After a few days of dating, the two decide to get engaged and start a relationship together, soon finding themselves in love with each other.

1985 (#26) - John's divorce petition and Jill's excuses

A few weeks later, John gets the approval of the doctor Arthur Nicholls and is finally ready to return to his home, where his wife Jill, anxious to see him again, is waiting for him. John, however, is still angry with her and confirms that he wants her out of the house within thirty days, having asked for a divorce. Jill is shocked and desperate but, thanks also to Brock's advice, she doesn't lose heart and starts to see things positively, having thirty days to save her marriage. Jill, then, tries a new strategy, revealing to John that the man in the photo with her is actually her ex-boyfriend Andy. John initially seems to give credit to this version, however he decides to go and talk to Andy himself to verify his wife's story. Andy, certainly not having much sympathy for Jill, who dumped him in the past without thinking too much about it, has no trouble disproving the woman, guaranteeing John that the man portrayed in the photo is not him. Enough for John to expose Jill's lies, who despite the woman's futile attempts to apologize and explain herself, is kicked out of the house immediately with the warning to seek a lawyer as soon as possible. Jack, feeling sorry for Jill that the woman is the only one who took responsibility for the betrayal, is consoled by the same woman, who confirms to him that it's right, because if John can get over the betrayal of a wife, he can never get over that of a son. Jack, however, promises to speak to his father on her behalf, to try to get him to forgive her. Jill, however, is skeptical about it, and apparently she's not wrong, since John is firm on his intention to divorce her.

1985 (#11) - The farewell between Tyrone and Alana, Nathan's work, the story with Amy

The most beautiful day of Alana's life, her wedding day, turned into the worst day of her life in a few hours. Alana learns from a discouraged Robert that her father has been killed, then tells her the whole truth about both her father's true business and her true identity. Alana is completely shocked and incredulous at the words of the man who now says his name is Tyrone and not Robert, and cannot believe anything she is told. In the end, however, Alana has to surrender to the evidence of the facts; and mad with grief and shaken by the deception of what her husband has become, Alana becomes furious and takes vent with him, going so far as to shoot him in the arm. Taken to the hospital, Alana immediately rushes to him, apologizing to him and showing herself willing to accept the whole situation, having realized that she is still in love with him; Tyrone, however, while admitting that a part of him will love Alana forever, confesses to the woman he believes, for his sake, to get out of his life forever. In the meantime, the trial of Joseph's gang begins, where among the witnesses also Nathan appears, who, unlike the other members of the gang, is not accused since he enjoys the immunity reserved for collaborators of justice. At the end of the trial, the entire gang is dismembered, arrested and sentenced, to the delight of Andy, Jazz and Tyrone. Nathan, eager for redemption and to finally work with justice to atone for his many sins committed during the years he participated in Joseph's gang, asks Paul to join his detective agency. Despite Jazz's initial resistance and Paul's own doubts, in the end Nathan shows that he deserves the man's trust and, convinced that Nathan has really changed and wants to redeem himself, welcomes him with open arms. After Alana's departure, Tyrone visits Amy, hoping for a reconciliation between them, but she shows little interest in Tyrone, having started a relationship with Nathan. Amy, in fact, was very impressed by the story of the man, who has always lived in the bad company that has repressed his good and kind soul; realizing that the man is also illiterate, Amy promises him to teach him to read and write, soon falling in love with him. The relationship, however, does not last long, as Amy soon decides to leave town to follow and take care of her father Frank, who is about to retire and intends to leave for Florida.

1985 (#7) - Tyrone and Alana's marriage and Joseph's fatal shooting

Robert's plan to infiltrate Joseph's criminal structure has succeeded perfectly, so much so that Tyrone receives compliments from Jazz and Andy, as well as from his colleague Jared Markson and detective Jim Mc Castor, with whom Tyrone is in constant contact. The only problem is that, as time goes by, Tyrone is really falling in love with Alana, with whom he has also been sharing an apartment for some time now. When Joseph sees the young couple kissing, they admit their passion for each other and announce their official engagement to their father. As is tradition in his family, therefore, Joseph urges Robert and Alana to set the wedding date, which the two young and impatient lovers set two weeks later. Jazz and Andy are shocked when they learn that Tyrone has gone so far as to get so involved, and the news of the upcoming wedding does not please Amy, who is now increasingly distant from the man she loves and feels she has lost. Jazz warns his brother about the danger of his situation, but Tyrone is more convinced than ever in his mission, assuring Jazz and Andy that he won't be distracted by his personal involvement with Alana. He informs the two of the help that Kong, Nathan, will be able to give him, and of the fact that he considers it necessary to take advantage of Joseph's marriage and absence to enter the office and look for the papers and evidence of his misdeeds. Jazz and Andy are happy with Tyrone's work, especially when he shows up with a copy of Joseph's office keys. Tyrone is also hoping that his relationship with Alana will continue, as he is now truly in love with her, although he is sure that she could hardly forgive him. On the day of the ceremony, while Alana and Robert's wedding ceremony is taking place in church, Andy and Jazz enter Joseph's office in search of important papers and documents. Unfortunately, Andy stumbles upon a remote control alarm system that immediately closes the door and sucks the oxygen out of the room. And so, while Jazz and Andy lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen, an emotional Alana takes her vows in front of an uptight Robert; meanwhile, as soon as the two are declared husband and wife, Joseph quickly leaves the Church having received the alarm signal, immediately followed by an agitated Robert, who understands that something must have happened. Alana, completely confused and disoriented, is thus left in the church with all the guests who run over her to wish her all the best. Meanwhile, a frantic race develops to reach the Anthony clan's lair; the police on one side, trying to get there before it's too late, to save Jazz and Andy, and Joseph and his henchmen on the other, followed immediately by Robert. It is Joseph who arrives first, finding Andy and Jazz unconscious. And just when the execution of the two, waking up when they are already tied to a chair, it now seems a certainty that the police will break in to save them. A furious shooting ensues in which Robert reveals himself as an infiltrator under the disappointed and incredulous eyes of Joseph, who is shot dead by Nathan, who saves Robert's life.

1985 (#2) - Tyrone's disguise, his relationship with Alana and Nathan

With the disappearance of his identity within Joseph's criminal gang, having his own death thanks to the help of his brother Jazz, the young law student Tyrone is forced to take on a new disguise in order to continue his investigations. Despite Jazz strongly advises him not to persist in his mission to infiltrate the clan and destroy the Anthony gang, being too dangerous. Tyrone, he doesn't listen to reason and this time he is determined more than ever not to make anything suspicious about him, since he even intends to become a white man. Andy and Jazz are stunned by Tyrone's disguise and makeup, which is almost unrecognizable by the two; Tyrone confirms to the two that he will infiltrate under Robert's name, and this certainly does not please Amy, still hiding in a convent and still in love with the young man. Not knowing how to act at first, Tyrone, alias Robert, was immediately lucky since he met, almost by chance, Alana Anthony, Joseph's beautiful young daughter. There was immediately a great harmony between the two and so Tyrone realizes that all he has to do is pretend to fall in love with Alana to get closer to Joseph and his organization. Educated in Switzerland, Alana had been protected and kept hidden from the family business, so much so that she didn't know in what kind of business her father was really involved in and thought he was running an export company. Not being aware of Alana's father's criminal activities, at first Tyrone almost considered giving up the mission, since he did not want to create problems to Alana; soon, however. Tyrone becomes aware of Alana's interest in Robert and decides to continue his plan. Alana and Robert share so many good moments together, and when Robert tells Alana that he has lost his job as a real estate agent, just as he wanted Alana to do, she promises to put in a good word with his father to get him into his company. Noting the deep affection that has developed between the two young people, Joseph offers Robert, unaware that he is Tyrone, a position in his export company, a job that Robert readily accepts. Having joined the gang from the start as Joseph's advisor, he was quick to reveal to him the true nature of their organization, whose legal component focused on exports is very small; Robert shows no problem doing that kind of work, and Joseph, then, is delighted to welcome him into what he calls his family. In this period, thus, Robert becomes a sort of precious adviser for Joseph and also makes the acquaintance of Nathan Hastings, an important figure of the gang, where he is called Kong, who soon becomes his ally.

1985 (#1) - Skip and Carol's engagement, the plans with Jack and Diane's divorce

While Lindsey could threaten at any moment to destroy the entire Abbott family, and in particular the reputation of Jill and Jack, if she showed and made public the photos of them together, Jack finds Carol a great friend and confidant. Abbott's model, in fact, always dispenses a lot of advice to the man who, as a good womanizer, makes his duty by wooing the beautiful girl. Jack, however, is disappointed when she reveals to him that she is not interested in a relationship, having recently become engaged to photographer Skip, the very guy that Jack wanted to hire instead of Joe. Jack, then, puts on a good face, wishing the couple all the happiness, and deciding to remain friends with the two of them. But Carol, of course, remains an exception and very few women can resist Jack's charm. An example of this is Diane, who, despite being happily married to Andy, feels that he lacks that passion and a touch of madness that only Jack has.

Not long after her fairytale marriage to Victor, Nikki has the idea of doing something special for the man she loves, to express her gratitude for making her the happiest woman in the world. After all, Nikki feels she owes him, having literally done crazy things for her in planning the wedding, showing him all her love. Thinking about what Victor really needs, Nikki observes that his wealth and fortune are already filling all his material needs. However, Nikki understands that it is family affection that Victor needs more than anything else, having lived as an orphan since childhood and therefore without a family. Nikki thus becomes convinced that the only thing she can do for Victor is to reunite him with his family, the family he has never known. Soon the woman, knowing that Victor was left in an orphanage in Buffalo about thirty years before, decides to hire Paul and Andy to investigate the man's past and thus find his real family. And so, digging into Victor's previous life among legal documents and old newspapers, the two men soon learn that Victor's father, Albert Miller, died several years earlier but his mother, Cora, still lives in Buffalo in relative poverty. So Nikki decides to go immediately to Buffalo to convince Cora to come to Genoa City to see her son again after so many years. After much insistence, Nikki manages to convince the woman, already suffering from the recent death of Reinette, the only daughter who has always been close to her and looked after her; however, as soon as she is confronted with Victor, she is abruptly rejected by the man. Victor, in fact, is not at all happy to find himself in front of the woman, guilty, according to him, of having abandoned him and who does not even consider his mother. Nikki is so sorry that she was unable to make the man happy, even though he thanks her for the thought and the attempt to do something special for him. The situation, however, changes radically when Cora is admitted to the hospital, where he receives the news that she has only a few weeks to live, having found a cancer with metastases already in an advanced state during the tests. Victor, having learned of his mother's condition, is thus persuaded by Nikki to put aside all the years of resentment he carries with him to live out his last days with his mother.

And when Cora finally dies, Nikki and Victor, already grieved by the news of Reinette's death that she will never know, desperately mourn for the loss. From this bittersweet experience Victor learned an important lesson: love does not die with the person, but lives on as long as the memory remains in the loved ones. From this story, Nikki and Victor come out more united and in love than ever before.
