Amy tells Eden and Cruz that she saw Kelly and Nick in Jack's office the day of their disappearance. Questioned by Cruz, the wrong Jack takes Nick for a lunatic who undoubtedly drew Kelly away in his madness post Vietnam. He repeats his wrong accusations to C.C.. Meanwhile, Nick manages to avoid his jailers. He hides in a farm, the owners being of Asian origin who agree to believe in his history. But the henchmen of the wrong Jack find his trace and Nick runs away in the forest. He tries to hide in an old well, but the cowardly rope gives way and he falls to the bottom of the hole. He however hears his pursuers say that Kelly did not die in reality...

Episode 231

Lionel organises the creation of the whole decor to follow his plan of Augusta's reconquest: he calls the interior decorators and a sound engineer to accompany Frank to the party which he envisaged to take place the following day with Augusta. Augusta, conscious that something is happening, decides to use this occasion to take revenge on Lionel. After an outburst with the Capwells, Santana goes to Gina's home to speak to her about Brandon. She is only causing her major problems. Nick manages to get out of the well in which he fell and goes back to the farm. The couple of farmers tell him that the telephone works again, but that they risk for others to hear it. And indeed, as well as this call gives C.C. the message which he leaves on Cruz's answering machine, some audible words that give them the feeling that he kidnapped Kelly and that he threatens to kill her for ransom money. Cruz refuses to believe in the guilt of his friend. He decides to leave to conduct his research. Eden is obvious following him...

Episode 232

Lionel and Frank drive Augusta to the decor created for her. With different techniques, they make her believe that she takes the plane with Frank, then that she enters a luxury hotel with him for a romantic evening in front of the fire. But Frank does not cease combining bloopers, while the sound engineer, hard of hearing, sometimes throws in out of place sound effects. Augusta goes from surprise to surprise, with Laken watching, who disapproves of the operation. In the absence of Laken, Christie invites Ted for a swim in the Lockridge swimming pool. She makes him understand her attraction for him and her intent to embrace him. But Ted pushes her back, explaining to her that he wants to remain faithful to Laken. Amy finds Brick searching Jack Lee's office. He finds a file there on Dr Renfro. Eden and Cruz are on Nick's track. They meet the couple of farmers who keep their silence, then arrive at the hotel where Kelly and Nick were made prisoners. They find photos of Kelly and a request of ransom signed by Nick, but written by Renfro. They decide to spend the night in the same bed. Persuaded that Nick died in the well, the wrong Jack shows himself to Kelly and entrusts her to be his cousin. Renfro places Kelly under a machine intended to make her lose her memories, and puts it in function. Nick, on the motorbike lent by the farmers, finds their trace. He catches the weapon of one of Jack's henchmen, but he is controlled by his acolyte. He just has the time to disconnect the machine linked up to Kelly...

Episode 233

Lionel tries to exchange her place with Frank when he passes to the bed with Augusta. But Augusta draws the curtains of the bed and asks Frank to simulate that he is making love with her.

Augusta challenges Lionel to succeed in recovering her. Brick shows Amy the file which he found in Jack Lee's office: it proves to be that he paid all the medical expenses since she got pregnant. Amy questions Jack on this subject, and he plays the devoted admirer to clear himself. He asks him for Brick's address to be able to talk with him, and takes his revolver with him. The machine of Dr Renfro has its effect: Kelly wakes up forgetting everything including her name. Nick manages to avoid his attackers and runs away with Kelly on the farmer's motorbike. They come to alert Eden and Cruz whom they saw with Nick and his men. They tell him where he went, but the place was emptied.
