Separate Hearts

Lance und Melissa versöhnen sich überraschend und wollen nun gemeinsam um Falcon Crest kämpfen. In trauter Zweisamkeit spielen sie Angela die glückliche Familie vor. Maggie hat den Sprung nach Hollywood geschafft. Ihr Drehbuch wird verfilmt, doch für die Dreharbeiten fehlt Maggie der nötige Elan. Schuld daran ist Chase. Mit seiner aussichtslosen Suche nach Angrettis Mörder treibt er Maggie auf die Palme.

Early in the morning at the Gioberti house, Chase is cleaning the garage. Vickie appears with a cup of coffee for him, and suggests that he should go see Maggie, but Chase stubbornly refuses because Maggie was the one who abandoned him. Cole arrives later and tells his father if he wants to quit the investigation, he will understand. However, Chase has no intention of quitting. Later that day, Julia meets Maggie for tea at the Tuscany Inn and tries to convince Maggie to return to Chase and not make the mistake that she did. At the jogging track, Vickie argues with Nick about his dealings with Richard Channing. Back at Falcon Crest, Chase confronts Angie about hiring Bitterman. As Chase storms out, Julia stops him to offer her help in his investigation of Carlo's murder. Because there is an injunction against Chase, he accepts Julia's offer as Angie eavesdrops from inside.
