Episode 1740
Kelly
unites her parents for a breakfast in the Oasis in the hope of conciliating them.
Cassandra finds Michael's trace in Chantal Gutierrez's room and discovers that
it is Flame. She demands to know the truth. Cruz arrives at the tower and asks
Michael to move Cassandra away. Cassandra drives him by car to Santa Barbara,
explaining to him that Helmut Dieter is the target of a police investigation.
Augusta goes on Dash's boat to apologise for her accusations, and finds him
packing his suitcases. He is being rejected by the other occupants of the
marina. She offers him to stay by working for her on her yacht. Dash is
surprised at the proposal. Mason learns from Katrina that Dieter is a dangerous
man. He is worried about Cassandra's absence, because the hour of signing the
contracts with Dieter comes and he is fond of her presence. Finally, Cassandra
joins C.C. and Mason following Dieter to close the deal just in time...
Episode 1741
Cassandra
discreetly asks Mason to find a pretext to delay the signing of papers with
Dieter. They go together in the room where Flame is and Mason asks for
explanation from Cruz, who refuses to give it to him. Cruz asks him to follow
his business with Dieter not to awaken his suspicion. In the cafeteria at the
university, Amado believes he recognises Eden in Suzanne Collier. Suzanne shows
her art teacher the pictures of the ocean which she painted, but that she is not
satisfied enough with them. C.C., who has come to finance an auditorium at the
university, points out the pictures of Suzanne hung on the wall. He is unsettled
to recognise the place where Eden died. Cruz finds the trace in a warehouse of a
delivery of missiles accomplished by Dieter. He gains permission to exclude Drew
Petersen from the inquiry, who was only hiding information from the beginning.
Cruz asks Katrina to translate a part of a document found in one of the cases in
the warehouse. When he goes back to it, he attacks two men. But he is stunned in
his turn by Hans, Dieter's henchman...
Episode 1742
Gina
is surprised to see Brandon, still a resident in boarding school, leaving the
Oasis. She asks him for assistance to pirate the computer server of the sperm
bank and to recover all data on a disk. Augusta joins Dash on his boat. Clear on
his feelings for her, he explains to her that in other circumstances that
something would have been able to happen between them, but that it will not be
case. He then goes to Topsy Turvy's where a young woman dances alone in a state
of intoxication which many clients notice. Julia has dinner in private with
Craig in the Oasis. Michael alerts her on the fact that Cruz has disappeared.
Cruz wakes up trussed up and gagged in a warehouse. He manages to free himself
from his ties and prepares an explosive system with products found in the
delivery room. Dieter arrives in the warehouse and shows the missiles to Flame.
He then takes her out by car to the Oasis. When Brandon sees her, he runs
towards her in the restaurant calling her "Flame". In the delivery
room, Cruz calls Hans to go up to the door and sets fire to his installation. A
huge explosion then follows...
Episode 1743
Mason
informs his father that he intends to get him fined in ongoing business with
Dieter. Thanks to Brandon, Gina enters the computer at the sperm bank. She types
names haphazardly and discovers that Mason and C.C. appear among the donors. In
Topsy Turvy's, Dash notices the young woman to be attracted by several men, who
end up trying to violate her. Dash intervenes to push them back and gets
involved in a fight. He phones the police, which cause the potential rapists to
escape. Whilst listening to the confused young woman, he becomes aware that, as
Julia, she had said "no” again and again. He recommends for her to lodge
a complaint, promising to testify for her in court. In the warehouse, Cruz
trusses Hans up, who is unconscious. Dieter hears Brandon calling Chantal
"Flame". He accompanies him up to his room and searches his business.
He is persuaded that his presence has links with the fact that Mason postpones
the signing of contracts. He asks him to follow him up to the Jacuzzi at the
Oasis. Dieter threatens Flame with a weapon and asks her what the links are with
the Capwells with whom he is in business with, and who is Raul Mendez really.
From his telephone, he starts holding up the one who is supposed to blow up the
missiles at the warehouse. Cruz and Michael go to the Oasis and discover Flame's
swimsuit on the ground. Michael understands that Flame must be with Dieter in
the Jacuzzi. Flame gets out of the Jacuzzi and begins answering Dieter's
questions. Suddenly, she grabs an electrical radio set and throws it into the
tub. Dieter dies being electrocuted right when Cruz and Michael arrive...
The Topsy Turvy's takes the name of "The Corral" in this episode. It is amazing all the more as "The Corral" was at the beginning of 1989 the name of the bar with the western decor which Mason / Sonny Sprockett offered to Gina. |
Episode 1744
Flame
alerts Cruz and Michael on the fact that a missile is about to blow up in the
warehouse. They run up to the spot, and attract different passwords to stop the
countdown. Cruz makes Hans issue the correct code, and stops the risk of
explosion with one second left. Michael walks Flame back home. Entering, she
finds Dash in her living room. He tells her about his act of bravery at the
party. Flame is very pleased that they both are recognised as heroes during this
day. For proof that she has changed, she removes her brown wig of Chantal
Gutierrez and reveals a new very short haircut. Gina goes to the Jacuzzi at the
Oasis to have a swim and discovers with dread the body of Helmut Dieter there.
During a collusive discussion, Mason offers that she calls him when she will
deliver. Gina is moved into tears. Cruz goes on the beach at moonlight. He makes
a nice and long declaration of love with Eden...
Episode 1745
Flame
pleads the case in front of Julia before meeting the judge. Cruz has a lot of
success, stands up for Flame by assuring them that she proved to be blameless
during the dangerous mission which was entrusted to her. Julia gives in and
abandons the idea of asking the judge to send Flame to prison. Flame is greatly
relieved. In the Oasis, Mason is surprised to see Gina's handbag smoking. Gina
hides some nitrogen in there, with the intention of hiding samples from the
sperm bank. She evades the attention of her boss, Mr Marx, to launch the smoke
alarm and so to achieve the reservations of semen. She steals several samples
which she lines up in her bag. Cruz notices painter Suzanne on the beach. He
goes to the university and looks at the pictures which she painted of the ocean.
Dash has nightmares which blend Maxine's attack in the bar and his second in the
night with Julia. He has an anxiety episode after hearing Julia shouting to him
on the evening when she accused him of rape. Unsettled, he goes to the Oasis and
asks to see her. Julia tries to avoid him, but Dash explains to her that he has
to tell her things that she has been waiting a long time to hear...
Episode 1746
Dash
struggles to find words facing Julia. Mason intervenes and shows him the door of
the Oasis very quickly. Michael finds a shirt belonging to Dash and discovers
that he is living at Flame's home. He does not understand why Flame defends
Julia's rapist and asks her to reconsider her relationship with Dash. Flame
stands up for her friend and lets Michael leave. Dash phones Julia and asks her
to give him a moment to speak. Julia offers for him to join her at home.
Cassandra is jealous to see Mason spending time with Katrina. Throughout the day,
she receives white roses and champagne from an unknown admirer. Drew Petersen
informs Cruz that his old friend Warren Lockridge is in prison in Bangkok after
enticing the daughter of the rich Thai Prime minister. He risks the death
penalty. Cruz decides to go there to save his friend. In Bangkok, Warren is
indeed a prisoner in a dark, dirty and humid cell together with several other
very violent prisoners. Katrina finds the note which Cruz wrote to Suzanne to
buy her pictures. Suzanne and Cruz exchange several messages, Suzanne even going
to Cruz's beach home. Cruz goes to the cafeteria at the university to meet her,
while Suzanne talks with another potential purchaser for her pictures...
First
reappearance of Warren Lockridge since episode 675, from now on played
by Jack Wagner. |
Episode 1747
Mason
lets Cassandra think that he is at the origin of the different presents which
she receives at the Oasis. Katrina knows his game well and recommends for him to
be honest with Cassandra. Gina has both samples of semen which she hid from the
sperm bank: one belongs to C.C., the other one to Mason. Katrina informs Cruz
that Suzanne agrees to sell him her pictures. Cruz is about to leave for
Bangkok. He finds a box of matches from the Orient Express in a pocket, which
makes him recollect moments with Eden. In prison, Warren fabricates a dagger
with a blade and a chair leg. Relations are very tense with his fellow prisoners.
At Julia's, Dash begins admitting that he really heard her shouting
"No" to him the evening of the rape, and that this shouting returned
to him in memory only having heard Maxine. He panics at the idea of having
really raped Julia, and ends up admitting his act explicitly. Julia, relieved,
is tearful...

Julia
is grateful towards Dash to finally admit that he raped her. She tells him she
understands his pain to accomplish what he did, and claims to be ready to excuse
him. Anxious to know what happened with Dash, Augusta arrives at Julia's. Dash
explains to her that he has just confessed to the crime. Mr Marx goes to the
Oasis and informs Mason that a sample of his semen, as well as one from C.C.,
was stolen. Mason turns to Gina, who denies being at the origin of the theft.
Suzanne brings one of her pictures to Katrina, at the Capwell villa. Sophia
finds the picture and recognises the place where Eden died. She panics and
refuses to meet Suzanne. Amado invites Katrina and Suzanne to the Oasis. Sophia
goes with Kelly there and sees Suzanne from a distance. She thinks she has a
hallucination by recognising Eden and leaves there. Mason is jealous to see
Katrina dancing with Amado. Cassandra receives an invitation from her unknown
admirer to meet the following day in Raffles Hotel in Singapore. She is
persuaded that it is Mason. Augusta reads a letter from Warren which offers her
to find him on July 4th in Singapore to introduce her to his wife...
Episode 1749

hesitates to go to Singapore at Warren's invitation. She finally decides to go
there after discovering that Singapore is also the destination that
Cassandra is going to take.
Laken accompanies her to the airport. Cassandra already left in her plane, and
Mason arrives in turn, curious to know who sent these presents and this
invitation to Cassandra. In prison, Warren is outbraved by a person who wants to
steal a ring. A fight starts, but the man is stopped by the arrival of a
Buddhist monk who has come to save Warren. The monk takes his hood off and
proves to be Cruz, with a shaven head, come to help his friend. He gives Warren
confidence and promises him to help him get out. Once Cruz leaves, the fight
