 Reese
Walker makes his entrance in Santa Barbara with his wife
Jodie, during the reunion of the high school alumni. Delighted to find
his old companion Cruz Castillo there, Reese accepts his proposition to
come to live again in Santa Barbara and to join the police department of
the city.
Happy
in marriage, Reese is also proud of his daughter B.J. and of his son,
Sawyer, even if he disapproves of his choice to become a professional
boxer. However, the complicity which unites Jodie and Cruz tends to make
him jealous. He thus gets closer to Kelly Capwell, Cruz's girlfriend,
with whom he shares his frustration.
Reese
is however going to know some real reasons for doubting of Jodie on the
occasion of the arrival of Frank Goodman, an old friend of the family,
who is going to lead to some new developments in his life. When he
learns that Frank formerly raped the young B.J ., Reese flies into a
fury. Frank is found dead, and Sawyer is at first suspected. Then it is B.J. who is at her
turn the object of all the suspicions, until Cruz blames for the murder
before running away for Mexico. This sacrifice gesture hides a dark
secret : Cruz is in reality B.J.'s father, what Reese ignored until
then. Requiring DNA tests to verify his suspicions, Reese obtains the
confirmation from Jodie that he is not the father of his beloved
daughter. He then decides to leave his wife without waiting.
Reese
meets afterward Andi Klein, a young woman with whom he begins an affair. But his love for Jodie having not passed away, Reese
does not succeed in falling in love with Andi. He learns that his
colleague Connor McCabe suspects Andi of having played a role in the
death of the two wives of her former lover, Ken Mathis. His decision to
break with her puts Andi in a fury, which leads Reese to realize her
psychotic tendencies. Guessing that Andi risks to attack Jodie, he
arrests her while she got ready to poison her.
Again free, Reese finally decides to
go back with Jodie and lets her know that he is ready to give a new
chance to their marriage. And
during B.J.'s romantic wedding ceremony with Warren Lockridge, it is him
who occupies the father's place
by leading her at his arm to the altar...
