Episode 220

At two o'clock, Eden joins her mother in the guest house, since Cruz has not made his decision yet. Eden confirms her love, her support and expresses her opinion that she knows that the death of Channing Jr is an accident. Cruz speaks to his friend Nick about his anxiety to make a decision and possible consequences of his future life with Eden. Cruz replaces the security guard in front of the guest house and finds Eden. This latter, after understanding that Cruz has still not made his decision, pushes Cruz back. She joins Sophia who has a nightmare : she realises that she must go to Channing Jr's grave.  Maggie offers her sofa to a drunk Warren. Both have a debate where they prove to be honest with each other.  Nick tells his terrible memories of Vietnam to Kelly and more particularly of his best friend there, who saved his life and his phobia of fire. Kelly recommends for him to face his fears so he doesn't spoil his future. Gina blows up facing C.C. on her pills, Sophia's guilt, and her pregnancy. C.C. then accuses her for the accident of Brandon. He then makes Gina stay up in his company all night.  Gina pleads for C.C. to give her pills. Both are exchanging in not very flattering purposes : Gina treats C.C. like a monster who wants to watch enduring people and controlling his children's lives. C.C. retorts that without him, she would only be a secretary who crosses and unfolds her legs in front of her boss, to trap him as she trapped Stockman. Gina threatens him to run away with Brandon. Ted interrupts them. Gina recognizes her intoxication to forget and asks for help. She avows to C.C. that Hank Judson was her dealer. C.C. calls a doctor to put Gina in a private clinic. Gina fears that C.C. wants to lock her up. In the graveyard, at her son's grave, Sophia pleads her forgiveness, with Eden and Cruz watching. Cruz finally makes his decision. Sophia confirms to Cruz that the evening of the murder, she only wanted to frighten Lionel. Eden intervenes, rejecting Cruz's involvement. She ends up telling him that there cannot be a wedding if he removes her mother from her. And even if Eden slaps him and shouts at him that she will never forgive him, Cruz arrests Sophia...
