The Vigil

Maggie geht nicht auf Richards Versöhnungsversuche ein. Sie schreibt einen Artikel gegen ihren Mann, worauf dieser mit einer Sorgerechtsklage antwortet. Ben und sein Freund Gabriel verunglücken mit dem Auto. Die Familien Agretti und Ortega bangen um das Leben der beiden schwer Verletzten.

Maggie's rebuff of Richard's attempts at reconciliation cause unexpected results. Upon hearing news of the car accident, Lance and Pilar immediately return home. With Ben and Gabriel in serious condition, Anna feels guilty over having given Ben the car. While the hospital staff quibbles about accepting Gabriel, he goes into convulsions, requiring immediate surgery. Angela, though not approving of the marriage, invites the newlyweds to make their home at Falcon Crest. In response to Maggie's rebuff, Richard pressures a judge for a court order that transfers custody of the boys to him. Accompanied by the Sheriff, Richard removes the children from Falcon Crest.
