Episode 1730
Cruz
receives the visit of an agent of the State department asking him for his
participation in an affair which relates to national security. He asks him to
trap Helmut Dieter, a German gunrunner whose cover in the United States conducts
business with C.C. Capwell. C.C. asks for Katrina's assistance to translate
documents into German, with the aim of an appointment with Dieter. To please
Kelly, Mason agrees to defend Quinn during his bail application. Julia gives in
to requests from Kelly and Mason and gets Quinn released on bail, while Flame
stays in prison. Cruz asks for Julia and Michael's assistance to find a woman
who speaks fluent in German and French, so that she takes the place of contact
who Dieter must meet in Santa Barbara. Michael immediately thinks of Flame. The
idea neither persuades Julia, nor Cruz. Kelly presents Quinn with plane tickets
and recommends running away from the country as quickly as possible while he is
still free...

Episode 1731
Mason
gets on well with Katrina. He offers to make her visit the city. Gina continues
dreaming of the identity of her sperm donor, and pictures himself currently with
John Wayne. Michael subjects Flame to the idea that she helps Cruz to hold
Helmut Dieter. Cruz receives the visit of Drew Petersen, an agent sent by the
State department with whom he has already worked with, and who is made
responsible for backing him up and for watching the advance of his action.
Petersen does not prove to be favourable of the idea of using a double to take
the place of Chantal Gutierrez, Dieter's contact in Santa Barbara. Cruz tests
Flame on her competences in Spanish and in French, and on her fidelity towards
him. He learns by Peterson that Dieter should not finally arrive in two days,
but in two hours. Really, the man already makes his arrival in the Oasis, facing
Gina. Mason refuses to continue defending Quinn. Quinn faces the facts: he is
going to have to leave Kelly for good...
Episode 1732
Gina
does not like the advances which Helmut Dieter makes in the Oasis, and overturns
her glass on his trousers. Cassandra fears that she scares Dieter off and ruins
her plans of investment in the establishment. She phones Mason so that he comes
to the rescue. At Minx's request, Cassandra agrees to come to move in the new
Lockridge villa. At the police station, Flame has the same scar as Chantal
Gutierrez on her right hand. Cruz, Michael and Drew Petersen go to the airport
to welcome Chantal Gutierrez and Raul Mendez, both contacts of Dieter. Kelly
accompanies Quinn before the flight. They make love last time in front of the
airstrip, before Quinn goes up to his plane. Cruz points out Kelly scanning a
plane and understands that Quinn is escaping. He begins telling the personnel of
the airport, but Kelly pleads him to let Quinn leave. Cruz fears Julia's
reaction, who had him released on bail, but forms a line based on Kelly's plea.
Both watch the plane with Quinn flying off...
Last appearance in the series of Quinn Armitage. |
Episode 1733
Kelly
informs her father that Quinn escaped and that she helped him. C.C. offers
Katrina to accompany them with Mason to their business appointment with Helmut
Dieter in the Oasis. They make a firm proposal of investment to Dieter, who at
first wants to think about it. Craig suggests that Julia engages Katrina as the
new nanny for Samantha. Cruz and Drew Petersen question Chantal Gutierrez and
Raul Mendez, who keep silent at first. Cruz discovers that both wear contact
lenses while their viewing capacity is very good. It proves to be that the
lenses that they wear contain restricted information that concerns Dieter. While
Flame begins arresting the danger of this mission, Cruz comes to search her...
First reappearance of Carmen Castillo since episode 1572, once again played by Carmen Zapata. |
Episode 1734
Flame
dresses up as Chantal Gutierrez and accompanies Cruz up to Dieter's suite. All
three prove to be mutually distrustful, but lead to a negotiation. Katrina
enters afterwards to give documents to Dieter, and sees Cruz. Craig accompanies
Julia to a party organised in the Oasis to impress Dieter. Julia is shocked to
see Augusta in the bar with Dash. Augusta decides to explain to Julia, and
reminds her that she always supported her and that she does not deserve for her
to push her back today. Cassandra intercedes with Dieter so that he concludes
his investment with Mason: he indeed agrees to buy back half of the Oasis, while
leaving complete management to Mason. Cruz asks Katrina to repeat to nobody that
she saw him with Flame following Dieter. Again, he believes he sees Eden in a
corridor, but is subject to reason repeated that she died...
Episode 1735
Laken
finds her mother in the Oasis and demands once again of her that she leaves
access to the part of the money of Lockridge estate. Mason tries to persuade
Katrina to cease working as servant for the Capwells to reimburse Sophia's
precious vase which she broke. He gives her a copy to release her from her debt.
Sophia tells Cruz that she is going to give the Armonti tiara to a museum in
Italy to get rid of it definitely. Katrina lets Helmut Dieter into the Capwell
villa without seeing that Cruz is in the living room. Cruz just has the time to
hide before Dieter sees him. In the Oasis, Cassandra, Mason and C.C. sign the
contract with Dieter. Mason entrusts to his father that it is him who wrote the
anonymous letter reporting Cassandra as being at the origin of revelations on
the Andrade land. Cruz sees a brown haired woman with glasses, a double of Eden,
painting on the beach. He sits down to notice her...

Cruz
talks with Julia by telephone in his car then, when he goes back on the beach,
the brown haired woman has disappeared. Minx visits Cassandra in the room which
she had constructed in the new villa for the attention of Warren. Cassandra
seems uneasy. She explains to Minx that she has already met Warren as a child;
at the time when she lived at the Capwell place and that the Lockridges were
their neighbours. Augusta and Laken go to see Julia in her office. The aunt and
niece discuss Augusta's behaviour as though she was not there. They discuss the
idea that Augusta allows Dash to entice her as a reaction to her break-up with
Lionel. Augusta defends herself from it. After the departure of Laken, Julia and
Augusta have a frank debate, during which Julia excuses the aberrations of her
sister, while Augusta still confesses not to know what to think about the rape
of which Julia claims to be a victim of. Cassandra questions Michael having
discovered that Flame stays in the Oasis under a wrong identity. Cruz asks Dr
Denise Foxworthy to help him to accept Eden's death. Denise gets him to accept
that her death is an accident, and that he is not responsible in any way for
it...

asks Mason for a 10 000-dollar loan to benefit from a sperm donation at the bank
where she works. Mason refuses. In his jeep parked near the beach, Cruz falls
asleep and has nightmares about Eden. Mason gives Katrina a car to make her
discover the city. Flame receives the unexpected visit of Helmut Dieter in the
hotel room in the Oasis. She then finds him in his suite and tries to speak
business with him. But Dieter is more interested to try to entice her. Michael
tries to reach Flame by telephone, and gets worried not to find her in her room.
Cruz goes to the Capwells. He tries to comfort Sophia, persuaded that she is the
one who gave birth to Lisa and therefore encouraged her to commit suicide. Cruz
explains to her that Lisa had a role to protect Eden and could not therefore
stop her death. He assures her that the death of Eden was an accident and leaves,
leaving Sophia and C.C. tearful...

the university where she began doing courses, Katrina meets a painter
dark-haired woman. She tells her she is named Suzanne Collier, and arrived
recently from North Carolina. Julia and Craig spend the evening together at
Julia's home. When Mason learns from Cassandra that Craig is behind the
appointment of Katrina as Samantha's nanny, he goes to see Julia. He stays there
and has dinner with Katrina, while Julia and Craig leave to eat in the Oasis.
Suzanne goes on the harbour and paints a boat. A passer-by tells her that it is
the Capwell yacht. Flame faces up to Dieter and leaves the room by running. She
opens a door to the staircases of the hotel. Dieter launches a chase, and Flame
gets up again and escapes, hurt to her face. She runs up onto Dash's boat, but
Dieter joins her and assaults her. Alerted by shouting, Augusta looks with
binoculars at what takes place on the neighbouring boat and thinks she sees Dash
attacking a woman. She immediately phones the police. Dash comes back at home
and finds Flame in a very bad state. The police intervene and arrest him.
Augusta tells Julia, who arrives at the tower. Dash phones Augusta and promises
her reprisals...

jacuzzi. Katrina finds Cruz looking at a photo of Eden. She seems to recognise
Suzanne, the woman painter at the university. But she prefers saying nothing to
him...
