1990 (#30) - Danny's innocence and his wedding in Hawaii to Christine

In prison, Danny defends himself, and everyone, Christine first, is convinced that the boy was set up. Brought to trial, Danny finds out from his lawyer that he could be released from prison due to a technicality, since the police raid, led by Detective Salena, took place without a search warrant and, therefore, is not valid and cannot be entered into the record. Danny, however, decides with great courage to give up the possibility of taking advantage of this shortcut, wanting to be acquitted for not having committed the fact. The judge therefore reopens the case and in the end, Danny succeeds in his intent and thanks to Christine's testimony he is released. The woman, in fact, says she remembers that Danny received a bouquet of flowers the night of the concert where he was arrested; and she says she suspects that the cocaine might have been brought by the florist. The discovery of his uniform in the air hoses dispelled all doubt, proving that Danny was framed. Overjoyed to have proved his innocence, Christine and Danny embrace for a long time and, suddenly, decide that they don't want to be apart anymore and that they don't want to wait to get married, after so many postponements; therefore, they hurriedly organize their wedding, which they decide to celebrate in the exclusive, idyllic and paradisiacal scenery of the Hawaiian Islands, where the two young people exchange their wedding vows.

1986 (#29) - Sven's plan and Jill's rescue with Jack and Carl's intervention

Meanwhile, Sven is the only one not happy about Jill's awakening. Afraid that Jill might remember her attacker, Sven decides he can't help but eliminate the woman altogether, who in the meantime begins to see her memories reemerging. When Jill is released and taken home to Michael, Sven decides it's time to take action. Meanwhile, Jack is incredulous when he receives the news that Jill has recognized him as the attacker, or at least doesn't exclude that it could have been him. Ellen thus consoles Jack, assuring him that she has complete faith in him and believes he's innocent. Just as she is in the shelter, meanwhile, Jack thinks and thinks back to the events of that night, and remembers that just before Gina left the hotel and was attacked, she was talking and drinking with a mysterious man, the same man she crossed paths with as he was leaving the hotel. After some research, Jack manages to contact Leonard, the hotel concierge, who tells him that he realized he had found the gun in a different place when he took it to help Gina: it had probably been used before by someone else. Jack then reconnects everything, sensing that Jill's attacker is the man he crossed paths with and that talking to Gina had revealed to him that he was a masseur. Jack, thus, understands that Jill is in great danger and decides to leave the shelter running to Jill and Michael to tell them the whole truth. Meanwhile, at Jill's house there is Sven himself, who convinces Jill to go to him for a private massage; the woman, from Sven's insistence, finally understands everything, including why Jack has voluntarily accused himself, and realizes that she is in great danger. Warned that Jack has violated his parole and left the shelter, Carl and Salena immediately set out to search for him. Both Carl and Jack arrive together at Jill's house, which they find strangely desolate but with the door left open. Entering the house in search of the woman, they find a troubled Sven ready to pack up and leave the country. Between Sven and Carl, a furious fight breaks out, which gives Sven the chance to escape. Jack, meanwhile, manages to find Jill and save her: Sven had tied her up and locked her in a cold room, where she would surely find death. Everyone's overjoyed to see Jill alive again.

1986 (#24) - Phillip Jr.'s blood donation and Jack's indictment

While Carl and Salena are busy investigating who shot Jill, she continues to struggle between life and death with Michael at her side praying for her. Informed by Dr. Joseph Lerner that Jill needs a blood donor as soon as possible, Katherine decides to bring Jill's son, Phillip Jr., back to Genoa City so he can stand by his mother and give blood. To the amazement of Katherine and Michael, however, the boy is very angry with his mother and quite upset, refusing to donate blood and confessing that he does not care about Jill, and whether or not she will survive. Katherine, certainly not Jill's best friend, convinces Phillip Jr. to do the right thing, but at the same time she is very worried about how little Phillip Jr. grew up, who has obviously suffered a lot from Jill's absence, who has always been much more committed to getting money and power by moving from one bed to another, rather than raising and educating her son. In any case, Carl's investigation to find the culprit continues and the policeman has four major suspects, all people who may have a grudge against Jill in some way. The first of these is John, who is still suffering from the recent divorce; Katherine, Jill's sworn enemy; and Jack, who believes that his life has been ruined by the woman; finally, some leads also lead to Christian Letiaff, the French chemist who worked for Jill for the Men's Line and who, evidently, hasn't paid yet. The turning point happens when the results of the analysis of the gun arrive, which clearly show Jack's fingerprints. He is thus charged with attempted murder and arrested, making John's incredulity towards his son, who he can no longer recognize or look at his face.

1986 (#20) - Jill's hospitalization in intensive care unit and the clues against Jack

Shortly after Sven puts the gun back, Jack willing to quickly forget this bad day comes out of his room and heads off. He notices, however, just outside the hotel, that some vagabonds are bothering Gina and so he asks the hotel concierge, Leonard, for help. With Leonard's gun, Jack runs after Gina's attackers and makes them leave before returning the gun to the owner. Michael, meanwhile, returns to his room and finds Jill lying on the floor in the shower in a pool of blood. He immediately alerts the ambulance, which takes Jill to the hospital, where she arrives in critical condition and is taken under observation in intensive care by Dr. Hank Steele. As Jill struggles between life and death, Michael informs the police of what happened and Carl, along with his assistant Salena Wylie, takes control of the investigation. After an argument with Michael about who might want to hurt Jill, suspicions all fall on Jack, who learns from Carl that the weapon used is a 38 caliber, the very one he used to drive away Gina's attackers. Scared that his fingerprints are on Leonard's gun, Jack runs to the hotel and takes the gun away, getting rid of it and throwing it into a lake. Carl soon realizes Leonard's gun is missing and immediately sets out to find Jack, who is no longer being tracked down. Jack, in fact, afraid that he might be accused of attempted murder, is trying to escape from Genoa City by boarding a one-way flight to Tahiti. Intercepted by Salena, this stops him in time and takes him back to the police station where he's interrogated. on charges of attempted murder despite these attempts to explain his reasons. Jack's position, however, becomes increasingly problematic when, a few days later, a cop named Ken Cosny finds the incriminating weapon with the man's prints on it.
