A Revenge Far From Sweet
Ever since learning the truth about his romance with 'Danielle',
Tristan has been
determined to let no one get the better of him again. Though Tristan
clearly believes that living well is the best revenge -- hence his
ambition to revamp his restaurant -- he'll find other forms of vengeance
to be just as seductive.
That's
why he'll bond with ex-con Del
Gabriel (pictured), who has his own vengeful desires regarding
Frank;
that's why he'll team with Cameron
Nichols to recapture OmniCorp out from under Olivia's
fingertips; and that's why he may ignore the signs that his liaison
with Beth
has had certain lasting reprecussions. As power comes closer to
his grasp, Tristan shows a new side and decides to ally himself
with a former enemy.
Unreliable Witness
With no memory of having sex in the past three years, Beth
can't fathom how she became pregnant. Her dissociative identity
disorder could be uncovered at last, but alter Bitsy
could ruin that with a single dangerous choice. Though an unusually
supportive Chelsea
tries to stand by her friend, it's a man who'll jump in to stop
the train wreck of Beth's life.
Is
it her brother? Seems like
Clark (pictured) might be too busy with a frightening adventure
of his own, as his involvement with Noah,
Tom
and the ghost of David
Reilly reveals a long dormant passion ... and an almost magnetic
attraction to danger.
Well, there are other guys in Beth's life who might fit the bill.
What about Beth's psychiatrist Kalid
Behar? Or mystery lover Tristan, when he's not making unholy
alliances? Hmm, maybe it will be another good samaritan altogether.
But whoever it is, Beth will first have to survive her alters'
haphazard, destructive behavior. Can she trust anyone without trusting
herself? And how can she trust her own instincts when her
own mind can betray her at a moment's notice? By the end of the
season, Beth will make a fateful leap of faith that could start
her on the road to recovery ... or to a worse madness than she has
ever known.
Trading Partners
Greg
has plenty to worry about when his past medical mistakes are brought
to light by Maxine.
With his future at the hospital in jeopardy, Greg's stress levels
hit the roof ... which worsens his growing concern about Rena's
closeness to Jem. When
he pressures Rena to make a deeper physical commitment to their
romance, this only serves to increase Rena's fears that he won't
be patient enough to wait until she's ready. Of course, Chelsea
(pictured) is not only ready, she's able, and she makes it clear
to Greg that she's willing. Will Greg give in to easy temptation?
Actually, he may have a tragic reason for avoiding this decision.
Jem's debt problems have already put Rena and Chelsea in the line
of fire, since Cameron
-- who'll stop at nothing to get ownership of Jem's newspaper --
has learned that they're currently the two most important women
in Jem's life. Now Cameron has a plan to end this stand-off once
and for all. If he finally wins the Record, the first headline
under his ownership may just read Woman Found Dead. Is Jem
manipulative enough to use a tragedy to his own advantage?
Unfinished Family Business
Cam's
brother Nick has his
own schemes underway. He and undercover agent Jonnie
(pictured) plot to destroy a rival family -- using ADA Ross
Granger's own gambit. Jonnie's worst nightmares nearly come
true, and to prevent discovery he has to make a grim decision. When
betrayal is met with betrayal, things go very wrong ... but not
before Jonnie's fear leads to a surprising meeting of the minds
(and other body parts) with a woman caught in a trap of her own.
Thanks to Ian's honesty,
Hannah has had her
suspicions confirmed regarding Daphne's
role in Hope's kidnapping.
Now she has to decide how to use this knowledge. Ian and Daphne
plead for understanding, but even normally compassionate Hannah
has her limits. Torn between love for her nephew, the growing love
for baby Hope, and her loyalty to her
husband, Hannah is shocked by her own secret, sinful thoughts.
And so she turns to someone who just might understand her confusion.
Ian's twisted past with his
stepmother continues to haunt him. But soon his heart turns
to new pastures when he sees Daphne in a whole new light ... thanks,
oddly enough, to Tyler.
Meanwhile, Danielle's feelings for the men in her life aren't as
clear-cut as she thinks, as she tries to keep safe from Cameron's
jealousy while maintaining her favorite pasttime -- playing sadistic
and very deadly games with Ian and Alex.
When the risk of discovery becomes too great, the result is a particularly
depraved, malicious scheme to ruin an enemy's life.
Thanks
to inheriting her mother's
manipulative skills and her
grandmother's ingenious talent for plotting, Becca
(pictured) comes up with a plan to win her bet against Simon.
Though Jason continues
to bond with Julie,
Becca uses his love of computers to seduce him over to her side.
Meanwhile, Julie's need to separate from her overprotective family
leads her to the town's new hot spot.
A Jewel with a Fatal Flaw
Adele (pictured,
below) seeks a death sentence for the mysterious person who, like
her, is hunting for the Fiore family necklace. So what if a few
innocent bystanders get in her way? As Adele unearths the true identity
of this troublemaker, look for a link between two storylines that
previously seemed utterly unconnected. And danger will lurk for
someone who doesn't realize how deeply he's involved with a frightening
conspiracy.
Meanwhile,
necklace-owner Martina
thinks her life can return to normal, what with the recent death
of her attacker and
her own approaching marriage to Mike.
But too many enemies are vying for the chance to prove her horrifyingly
wrong. A vicious act of deceit leads to a devastating event that
shatters Martina's dreams of happiness ... possibly forever.
Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls...
As the season hurtles to an end, a joyful occasion becomes a crossroads
for several Skyfalls residents. The invitations are sent, the church
is booked, and at long last Laurie
Nichols and Victor
Fiore are going to be wed. Or are they? Not if Adele and canny
cop (and brother of the groom) Mike
have anything to say about it. For once, these enemies have the
same goal in mind -- to stop the marriage.
But there's more than marriage on the minds of the wedding attendees.
Old vendettas, recent tragedies, clandestine relationships and secret
plots will be the uninvited guests at this grand event.
When all is said and done, will the church bells chime for a wedding
... or a funeral?
