Eden and Cruz in the French capital ? No, no, it is not an illusion : it is one of the shock scenes of the year 1989 of Santa Barbara : Adriana, the star-couple's baby, has been kidnapped in Paris !

The story is the following one : Eden has finally, after many adventures (a period of sterility, a rape...), succeeded in being pregnant of Cruz's child, Adriana. On his side, Cruz discovers, with Celeste DiNapoli's help, the identity of Eden's rapist : it is Zack Kelton, her gynaecologist. Before dying, he reveals to Cruz that his daughter is died.

But Eden, as Cruz, cannot accept this fatality. Whereas Cruz looks for help with Sandra Mills, a psychic, Eden has visions of her daughter in Paris. Without waiting more, she takes the first plane for France with Kelly.

Eden does many discoveries in the capital : first of all, Adriana is well alive ! She learns that it is Hollis Castillo who has adopted her after her abduction at the maternity. Hollis is in fact the wife of Ric, Cruz's brother, a drug and jewels trafficker. He had married Hollis, a Frenchwoman, only for her money. But Hollis will be able to cash the family heritage only the day she will have a child. From where, to keep her husband, the kidnapping of Adriana. Eden succeeds in being hired as a children's nurse for her own daughter and, at the arrival of Cruz, reveals her real identity to Hollis and Ric.

Pursued by the police, Hollis finds only one exit : to jump in the Seine. Ric plunges to help her, but it is too late, the young woman cannot be revived and dies, drowned. Adriana is saved and Eden and Cruz can finally be joined together as a family. As for Ric, he will not stay alone for a long time : Kelly will be his next love.

Profiting of being in Paris, Eden and Cruz make Adriana baptized in the French capital and finally decide to come back in California...
