1994 (#30) - Drucilla's torments, Neil's desires and Olivia's advice

Shocked by the news of her pregnancy, Drucilla is uncertain about what to do. Her first instinct is to put the whole thing behind her, aborting it and going on with her life as normal; however, inside her, terrible doubts are already starting to creep in. Malcolm, meanwhile, having been informed of the pregnancy, wonders how she could have done such a thing, realizing only now the mistake of having believed that Drucilla really wanted to betray her husband. Malcolm is also convinced that the best thing to do is to have an abortion, but the opposite opinion is held by Olivia, who tries in every way to make her sister understand that the conception of a child must always be welcomed as a gift from God. In any case, everyone agrees on one thing: Neil must never know anything about what happened between Drucilla and Malcolm. When Neil is playing with little Nate and congratulating Nathan and Olivia on the baby, he doesn't hide the fact that he longs for him and Drucilla to start a family soon. Upon hearing these words, Drucilla feels that she can't crush Neil's dreams and that the baby might be hers after all. The decision to keep the baby, then, is finally made by Drucilla when Dr. Will Scott informs her that she is suffering from a slight malformation of the uterus that may prevent her from conceiving again in the future. Drucilla then informs Neil and a satisfied Olivia that she has decided to keep the baby. Consequently, the girl announces to an incredulous and enthusiastic Neil that he will soon become a father. Olivia, meanwhile, tries in every way to keep Malcolm away from his sister; and she does so by introducing the boy to the young Dr. Stephanie Simmons, an intern in her department at the Genoa Memoria Hospital. Stephanie and Malcolm begin to see each other, even though it's more and more evident that the man has only Drucilla and the baby he's expecting in his head, aware that he could be the father.

1994 (#2) - Olivia's guilt and the reconciliation between Drucilla and Lillie Belle

It's been a few months now since Lillie Belle returned to Genoa City and started living at Olivia and Nathan's house. And things, however, have not improved at all. Drucilla, who because of her strong pride doesn't want to take any more steps towards a possible reconciliation, continues to remain a stranger both to her sister and to her mother; and this despite the fact that it causes deep pain to Drucilla herself, who demands a first step, and an apology, from Lillie Belle. Lillie Belle, in the meantime, interferes more and more in the marriage between Olivia and Nathan, provoking in the man himself a growing resentment towards the woman and forcing Olivia to try to mediate continuously between the two. In the end, also on Neil's suggestion, Drucilla is at least convinced to recover the relationship with Olivia, deciding to tell her the whole truth about why she hates Lillie Belle so much. Olivia is shocked at Drucilla's words and, for the first time, is deeply disappointed in her mother. Lillie Belle tries to justify herself by remembering that her behavior is probably unconsciously linked to the fact that Drucilla's pregnancy was not planned, being rather the result of a drunk Walter's lust. Lillie Bella then tries to make Olivia understand as much as Drucilla that that unwanted pregnancy has affected her psychologically and emotionally, then reflecting on her relationship with her daughter. Drucilla, once again disgusted by her mother's arguments, is this time supported by Olivia, who is at least confused and disturbed by her mother's speech, with which she takes it out on her for having mistreated Drucilla all these years for no reason. This episode, however, allows Olivia to see Drucilla for the first time in a new light. Running to find her, Olivia eventually finds her sister and, embracing her, asks her forgiveness for their parents' behavior all these years, guiltily admitting that she never realized how things really were and that she wants nothing more to come between them in the future. For the first time, a brotherly connection is born between Drucilla and Olivia. The story finally ends with the return of Walter to the city, who convinces his daughters to forgive a woman as psychologically fragile as their mother. In the meantime, Walter reconciles with Lillie Belle, convincing her to leave Genoa City and come back together, allowing his daughters to live without animosity or conflicts due to the past. Thanks to Walter, therefore, the Barber family is finally united again, and a few days later, as promised, Walter and Lillie Belle warmly greet their daughters, wishing them not to repeat the same mistakes they made.

1993 (#20) - Lillie Belle's hospitality and the contrasts between Nathan and Olivia

Following the marriage of Drucilla and Neil, the relationship between the two sisters worsens drastically. In fact, Olivia, who still doesn't know the whole truth about Drucilla's conception, doesn't forgive her sister for having treated her parents badly, as they are suddenly sent away from the city. Olivia's problems are also exacerbated by an increasing conflict with Nathan, who is accused of defending Drucilla too often. It is in this period of strong tension that, surprisingly, Lillie Belle returns to the city. The woman confides to her sister that she has separated from Walter, whose marriage has been in crisis immediately after his marriage to Drucilla; the reason, of course, is always Drucilla, since the man does not accept to continue to treat his youngest daughter in the way Lillie Belle continues to do, moreover angry with her husband for having allowed himself to apologize to Drucilla. Lillie Belle then informs both Drucilla and Olivia that she has returned to the city to take care of herself by undergoing some medical tests due to her depression. Drucilla, convinced by Neil to try to rebuild a relationship with her mother, invites the woman to stay with them, but once again Lillie Belle refuses the attentions of her youngest daughter, preferring to move in with Olivia and Nathan, so as to spend some time with Nate as well, encouraging her daughter to get rid of her babysitter Julia Grimson so that she can take care of him directly while the woman is at work. Lillie Belle's choice, however, only makes things worse. Drucilla, in fact, once again feels hurt by her mother, and promises herself that she wants nothing more to do with her. Moreover, this leads to cooler relations between the two sisters, with Olivia herself finding it increasingly difficult to recover her relationship with her husband Nathan, who once again defends Drucilla. Moreover, the continuous and more and more indiscreet and intrusive presence of Lillie Belle in the house, prevents the couple from being able to talk to each other.

1993 (#10) - Neil and Drucilla's wedding, Walter's remorse and the trip to Antigua

Happy to have obtained an unexpected position at Jabot, Neil experiences one of the happiest and most fulfilling moments of his life. In addition to the joy of his professional promotion, Neil strengthens his sentimental bond with Drucilla, so much so that the two find themselves more in love than ever. Having now also an economic security, Neil surprises Drucilla by asking her to become his wife; the girl, enraptured, accepts with great joy and the two are excited to start organizing their wedding. Mamie, Olivia and Nathan also congratulate the newlyweds, but soon, inevitably, the conversation turns to their parents, Walter and, above all, Lillie Belle. Olivia is annoyed when Drucilla says she doesn't want her parents at the wedding, but eventually Olivia manages to convince her sister to invite them. Lillie Belle and Walter are overjoyed at the upcoming wedding, though Lillie Belle's attention is, as always, all on her favorite daughter Olivia and her grandson Nate. At the end of the moving ceremony in which Drucilla and Neil declare their eternal love, it is Drucilla, almost in tears, who asks her mother why, even on her wedding day, the most beautiful day of her life, she seems to want to put her in second place to her sister. It is at this point that, finally, Drucilla learns the truth about the animosity she has always felt coming from her mother. Lillie Belle, in fact, reveals to her daughter that Drucilla was conceived one night when Walter came home drunk and abused her, after she insisted that she did not want to conceive any more children. It is Walter, at this point, who surprisingly takes Drucilla's side, understanding the girl's reasons, stating that in fact the rebellious and repulsive behavior towards their parents was not at all unjustified, admitting that, in fact, at times her mother clearly showed repulsion towards Drucilla and that he, feeling guilty for what he did, never criticized her attitude by taking sides in defense of his daughter. Finally, Walter asks Drucilla's forgiveness for all their faults, assuring her that from that moment on he will try to treat her daughter with the same love he feels for Olivia and assuring her that, even if her conception was not foreseen, he loves her no matter what and has no regrets in having her. Despite this, however, an enraged Drucilla angrily chases her parents away, shouting at them that she considers her only true mother to be her Aunt Mamie, the only one who has always believed in her and never let her lack her support. Walter and Lillie Belle, heartbroken but at least freed from the burden of having to confess the truth to Drucilla, leave Genoa City once again. With the woman visibly needing to forget her family problems for a while, Neil finally decides to give Drucilla a wonderful surprise with an unforgettable trip to the Caribbean, to the island of Antigua to be their honeymoon.

1992 (#25) - Olivia's ovarian cancer, pregnancy risks and the birth of Nate

If for Drucilla things are not going well at all, so much so that she wants to leave town for a period of reflection, the same cannot be said for Olivia, who is literally on cloud nine. In fact, Olivia is living a wonderful and very fortunate period of her life thanks to the joys of her family, namely her marriage to Nathan and the awaited birth of their child. However, Olivia cannot imagine having to face one of the hardest trials that life has ever reserved for her. It all starts with a strong influence of the woman, which doctors attribute to a dangerous infection in the uterus. Shocked that the child's pregnancy prevents the woman from being able to cure the infection, Olivia firmly rejects any talk about the possibility of abortion. And although Nathan begs her not to put her life at risk, Olivia says she is ready for anything in order to carry the pregnancy to term, even more so after doctors have revealed to the woman that she has ovarian cancer and is unlikely to be able to have any more children. Initially, Olivia asks Nathan to hide the situation from her family, but when she is forced to go to the hospital, a distraught and anxious Drucilla returns to town, unexpectedly showing herself to be closer to her sister than she could have believed. To support Olivia, then, there is of course also Lillie Belle, hosted with Walter at Mamie's, who certainly can't miss such a delicate moment for her daughter. It is precisely at this juncture that Lillie Belle, once again, shows all the attachment and love for Olivia that she has never shown for Drucilla. In the meantime, the doctors, more and more worried about Olivia's health and that of her unborn child, decide to perform a cesarean section and deliver the baby, even if prematurely. Waiting any longer, in fact, would only put Olivia's life at risk and she must start treating the tumor as soon as possible. In the end, Olivia gives birth to little Nate, who receives all the joy and love of Nathan, Drucilla and Lillie Belle, while Olivia undergoes a hysterectomy and slowly begins her recovery. This is a very important moment for the Barber family, which finds itself happier and more united than ever around Olivia and little Nate. This union and closeness obviously accentuates the contrasts between Drucilla and her mother, even though the girl can console herself for the fact that she has found the love of Neil, with whom she makes peace thanks to Olivia who urges the man to give her sister a second chance, and for the ballet, having decided to resume her lessons.

1992 (#12) - Drucilla's photo shoot and the red light film scandal

The relationship between Drucilla and Neil, between ups and downs, seems to grow stronger and stronger. Drucilla, in this period, continues to follow the course of dance and ballet, but is increasingly attracted by the prospects of working in show business, dreaming of becoming an actress or, thanks to Neil's work at Abbott, a model. Drucilla's true chance at fame and fortune comes when a director named Vinny Russo notices her and writes her for a film promising her a great career. Unfortunately, Drucilla realizes too late that what Vinny has planned for her is an X-rated film and it is only the intervention of the usual Nathan that stops Drucilla in time. Concerned about the fact that she has already shot a short sequence of the film, the woman is however calmed down by Vinny, who promises to destroy the video. Despite this bad adventure, Drucilla does not give up on achieving her goals, despite Neil's futile attempts to convince her to concentrate on ballet, where she could have a leading role in the show Giselle. In the end it is Blade Bladeson, Neil's colleague at Abbott and a professional photographer, who realizes how suitable Drucilla might be as the new testimonial for Jabot's advertising campaign. Jill is against giving the role to Drucilla, and from the very first meeting with the girl, she doesn't hide the fact that she doesn't trust her, considering her to be a good-for-nothing who can only bring trouble. Neil himself is perplexed by the decision, especially regarding the fact of proposing a black face as testimonial. Neil's position causes a lot of tension in his relationship with Drucilla, who accuses the boy of not wanting her to have a career at Jabot. Just when Blade manages to convince Jill, with great difficulty, to give the role to Drucilla, and Neil seems intent on making it up to her with a special appointment in which to give her an engagement ring, the cold shower arrives like a lightning bolt for Drucilla, who sees her pictures of the red-light audition and then of the preview of Vinny Russo's film "Sensuality" on the front page of every tabloid magazine. Drucilla is furious with the man for having used, or rather exploited, her image for the promotion of her latest film, while in turn Jill bitterly regrets having agreed to the decision to hire Drucilla, who soon finds herself in the middle of a scandalous storm. The girl, completely shocked by the incident, is also called upon to settle things with Neil, who is certainly not pleased that Drucilla has kept the matter from him. Devastated by what has happened, Drucilla returns Neil's ring and, in refusing a job offer at Jabot, announces to everyone that she intends to leave town.

1991 (#30) - Olivia's wait, the spark between Neil and Drucilla, and the modeling dream

The joy of marriage, for Olivia and Nathan, is destined not to remain isolated since, as soon as they return from their honeymoon, the two enthusiastically inform Mamie, Walter, Lillie Belle and Drucilla that they are expecting a baby. The news makes Olivia's parents proud and they happily embrace her; and, after all, it also makes Drucilla happy who, despite still being in love with Nathan, is happy for her sister and intrigued by the idea of becoming an aunt. Drucilla and Neil, thus, soon find themselves feeling sorry for each other and, for lack of anything else, being in love with a married couple, end up spending a lot of time together. From what started as an acquaintance of convenience, the relationship between Drucilla and Neil, also because of the course of events, soon becomes a deep friendship until it turns, inevitably, into love. Between the two of them the spark ignites in an unexpected way, while both of them play the role of consoling each other for the unfortunate events of love. A deep glance, a kiss, and then the hopes, prospects, dreams and desires of each change radically. After all, the couples formed are completely corresponding: the ex-criminal Nathan with the brilliant doctor Olivia, and the intelligent young man with good hopes Neil with the not-so-good Drucilla, who comes out publicly with her boyfriend for the first time during the masquerade ball where she is dressed in a dress that Neil himself, at Jabot, has sewn for her, the very elegant angel bird. Finding themselves more united than ever, Neil decides to support Drucilla in achieving her dream of becoming a famous dancer; and he even does so in a secret way by asking Mamie to stop paying for Drucilla's dance lessons, since he will be doing it from then on. However, when Drucilla learns from Mamie about Neil's gentlemanly offer, the woman, while thanking Neil for his grand gesture, confesses to the boy that she currently has other plans. Intrigued, Neil asks the woman for explanations and she finally confesses to him that she dreams of becoming a model and hopes that her job at Jabot will somehow help her realize her aspirations. Neil says he regrets that Drucilla has put aside such a sensual and refined art, probably because she is attracted by the money that revolves around the models; however, he promises the woman that he will do everything in his power to try to get Drucilla hired, who happily embraces him and admits to being hopelessly in love with him.

1991 (#22) - Family disagreements and the wedding of Nathan and Olivia

Things between Drucilla and Olivia, following Neil's introduction, finally seem to be going well. Olivia, in fact, no longer sees Drucilla as a rival who wants to take away her future husband, Nathan; and she can finally dedicate herself to the organization of her wedding. Olivia, in the meantime, calls her parents to inform them of her upcoming wedding with Nathan; furthermore, the eldest of the Barber daughters adds that Drucilla also lives in town and that, in spite of everything, she is doing just fine. Walter and Lillie Belle are overjoyed to learn of Olivia's impending nuptials, but are even happier to know that their daughter Drucilla is alive and well. The family picture, however, is abruptly interrupted by Drucilla who immediately makes it clear that she wants nothing to do with her parents. Olivia does not understand Drucilla's senseless reaction and asks her parents to stay, even though they are convinced that it is better to go home. When Olivia insults Drucilla and accuses her of trying to ruin her marriage by not having their parents present, the two begin to argue furiously, and only Neil and Nathan's intervention can calm them down. In the end, Olivia is forced to postpone her wedding, hoping that things will work out in her family. This decision was made mainly because of the serious health condition of Walter, who is seriously ill with diabetes. In the meantime, Drucilla is pleased to note that her plan to fake a relationship with Neil is working better than she had hoped, since Neil seems very interested in Olivia. And so, the annulment of the marriage gives Drucilla and Neil the chance to shuffle the cards, on one hand giving Drucilla courage to fight to conquer Nathan, on the other hand giving space to a rapprochement between a now in love Neil and an Olivia who surprisingly shows to appreciate the company of the man. In the end, as Walter's condition improves, Drucilla, Lillie Belle and Olivia finally find themselves happy together for Walter's recovery, showing for the first time that their family can truly be united. It's the right time, Olivia believes, to celebrate their newfound family togetherness with her marriage to Nathan. Putting aside his feelings for Olivia, Neil confirms to a disappointed Drucilla that he wants to continue to pretend to be her boyfriend during the wedding; a celebration that Drucilla, forced to be a bridesmaid, suffers. At the end, however, Nathan and Olivia declare their love for each other in front of God and all the guests.

1991 (#5) - Drucilla's dance lessons, Olivia's demands and the deal with Neil

If on one hand Drucilla suffers from her unrequited feelings towards Nathan, who is now seriously involved with her sister, from another point of view the girl is living a relatively happy period. The girl, in fact, seems to have actually changed and is willing to settle down and find a job; this makes her aunt, Mamie, happy, who convinces her to pay for dance lessons from the famous former dancer and now teacher Estelle Chauvin. Drucilla can't believe her aunt's gift, and thanks her infinitely, promising to do her best to make her dream come true. In the meantime Olivia, who after graduating in Colorado has now a stable position at Genoa City Hospital, starts thinking about creating a daughter with Nathan; after all their relationship is now well established, strong and long-lasting enough to take this step towards consecration. Nathan, in this regard, seems a bit more skeptical, bringing forward mainly economic motivations that do not worry Olivia, who is mainly interested in making sure that Drucilla stays away from Nathan. In fact, Drucilla has not put aside her desire to conquer Nathan, even if in front of her sister's continuous accusations of stealing his man, Drucilla answers by inventing that she already has a boyfriend and asking her sister to stop accusing her of being a man-hunter. At Drucillia's claims, Olivia appears surprised and, if at first she is very defensive and apologizes to Drucilla, she soon begins to suspect that the girl has once again lied. Pressured by Olivia's demands that she meet her new boyfriend, Drucilla admits to herself that she's gotten herself into quite a bit of trouble. Since she must find a man to introduce to Olivia, Drucilla doesn't know what to do and decides to ask for help to the only person she can trust, Mamie. When she arrives at Jabot to meet the woman, Drucilla runs into a careless Neil Winters, an intern who bumps into the woman while she is not thinking and who immediately catches her attention. A wonderful understanding is born between the two, and so Drucilla tells the man all her problems, finally asking him to lend himself to play the part of her boyfriend. Neil, pleasantly impressed by the woman, immediately accepts the proposal. Drucilla is thus happy to introduce Olivia to her boyfriend, thus giving her sister a major setback.

1990 (#35) - The feelings between Nathan and Olivia and Drucilla's step backwards

Drucilla's discovery that Nathan and his sister Olivia are engaged is a very hard blow to digest. At the very moment when the girl was rediscovering happiness and joy of life, and was finally putting her life in order, this news seems to have plunged her back into despair. The girl, however, does not get depressed in front of this unexpected obstacle and promises herself that she will fight with all her strength to get what she wants: Nathan's love. And this even at the expense of her own sister. Drucilla is convinced that Olvia has already had far too much from life: the love of her parents, a professional career as a doctor already underway and an economic condition far more reassuring than her own: for this reason, she will not allow the possibility of finding the love of her life to be taken away from her. Despite all of Drucilla's attempts, including asking Nathan to dance with her, she is unable to win Nathan's heart, who reassures a worried Olivia that he loves her. Olivia can't understand how her sister can shamelessly hit on her boyfriend, and even gets annoyed with the man himself, who every time finds an excuse for Drucilla. However, it is Nathan himself who puts an end to the matter, explaining to a distraught Drucilla that her heart belongs to Olivia, and that sometimes you have to deal with the reality of things. And so, the youngest of the Barber sisters desists from all attempts, wishing the couple happiness and making peace with Olivia.

1990 (#31) - Drucilla's infatuation for Nathan and the conflictual relationship with Olivia

As time goes by, things for Drucilla improve by the day. Nathan's lessons bear fruit and Mamie, proud of her granddaughter, not only gets her the money she needs to sign up for dance auditions, but even convinces John to hire her as a secretary at Jabot Cosmetics. But Drucilla's happiness obviously does not only derive from her new job; in fact, the lessons she takes with Nathan soon lead her to fall in love with the kind and caring man, to the point that she dreams of a future with him. When Nathan informs Drucilla that he has already been engaged for a few months, the girl seems very disappointed; however, she cannot imagine that Nathan is actually engaged to Olivia Barber, his sister. Arriving in Genoa City for a medical internship, Olivia is in fact Drucilla's older sister, who is shocked to discover that she is Nathan's girlfriend. Olivia is thrilled to see her sister safe and sound after all these years; however, Drucilla does not share her happiness at all, since she has always had a deep hatred for her sister. Ever since they were children, in fact, Olivia has always been the most beautiful, the most attractive and the most intelligent of the two, as well as the best in the eyes of their parents, who are convinced that Drucilla could never reach her standards. And so, when Olivia informs her sister that she is living happily with Nathan, confiding in him that the two are already making plans to get married, Drucilla seems to be reliving her childhood once again. But this, the girl has no intention of giving up and passively accepting the situation, wanting to fight with all her might to get the man she loves.

1990 (#25) - Drucilla's shoplifting at Fenmore and Nathan's case

In spite of Mamie's and Drucilla's promises, the girl, with her rebellious, free-spirited character and the amount of time she spends on the streets living hand-to-mouth, just can't stay out of trouble. After meeting and falling in love with an unsavory boy, Juice Kandle, Drucilla is caught by Nathan Hastings, Paul's private detective friend, shoplifting at the Fenmore store; Nathan, who works in security there, immediately alerts Lauren to the attempted theft. Arrested and brought before Judge Roberto Hernandez, this does not go unnoticed by John, who becomes furious with Mamie and informs her that his niece no longer lives in their villa. Mamie cannot blame the man who has been employing her for so many years; rather, she blames Drucilla for once again letting down the trust of those around them. Desperate and repentant of the gesture, however, the girl makes a breach in Nathan's heart who, sorry for having driven the girl into this situation, asks to be allowed to have custody of the girl. And so, despite the fact that the judge can't help but notice the girl's long list of minor criminal records, putting his hand on his heart he decides to grant the girl freedom and release her into the custody of the man. Drucilla is overjoyed by the second chance and promises the judge and Nathan that this time she will not let anyone down. Drucilla confesses to Nathan that she has a dream of becoming a dancer and that she has decided to pursue it with all her might. When Nathan notices that Drucilla can neither read nor write, he remembers her difficult past and the fact that he himself was struggling with the same problems and offers to give her lessons so that she can write a resume. Somehow, Nathan finds himself having something in common with Drucilla, namely the fact that he was once illiterate like her; and now, Nathan has the opportunity to teach what he in turn had been taught years before by Amy.

1987 (#14) - The scandal of Paul's photos and the end of Lauren's tormented affair

When the editor of the magazine, Susan Brown, calls Lauren to congratulate her on her victory, she is astonished, believing it to be a mistake. Amy, then, admits her responsibility and Lauren, sure that Paul would not agree at all with the choice to appear in such a newspaper, is convinced to refuse the prize. However, she changes her mind when Susan informs her that the prize is also $10,000, which convinces her to accept instinctively. Meanwhile, a very happy Paul informs his family and Lauren that Mayor Jim Cooper has decided to award him in a public ceremony for his fight against prostitution and pornography. It is at this moment, then, that Lauren realizes that Paul's reputation would be ridiculed if his photos were published; bitterly regretting having accepted the award, Lauren immediately contacts Susan to stop the magazine's press, but it is too late. Lauren's extreme attempt was to use the prize money to buy back all the copies of the magazine; but despite all Nathan and Amy's efforts, the photos spread, so much so that some girls complimented Paul's bold poses right in front of the official lunch with the mayor and two upset Paul and Mary. Completely angry and enraged, Paul decides to end the relationship despite Lauren's vain attempts to make peace and be forgiven. In the end, the two agreed that the best solution was to remain simply good friends.

1987 (#12) - Mary's pressure and Paul's wedding vows

Reconciled after the disturbing story of Shawn following the news of Lauren's abortion. The two, despite having been married in the past, have never talked about marriage or imminent marriage despite the fact that their respective families and parents, especially his mother, Mary, push for the two young people to take this step, finding it not unethical the decision of the two to live together without being married. Paul and Lauren, however, still feel unprepared and quite immature, despite their not very young age, for such a step; and both are guided by characters mainly free and independent. In the end, however, Neil and Joanna persuade the couple to get married. Particularly happy about the news is Amy, just back in town and hired as secretary at Fenmore, who decides to celebrate the news with a very special and spicy surprise towards the future couple. Passionate about the magazine "Contemporary woman", Amy decides without Lauren and Paul's knowledge to send nude photos of Paul, in poses that Lauren showed her in confidence, to get him to participate in the scandal magazine's erotic photo contest.

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 (#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.
