Ryan's Hope

After Jack had another fight with Tom, Mary learned that Tom is an ex-prizefighter and that his best friend in Ireland, Tom O’Brien, died right before O’Brien was due to marry the girl they both loved.  Dee went into her first round of pretending to go bonkers at a dinner party to which she invited Alicia.  Jill accepted an emerald and diamond ring from Seneca, but insisted that it not be considered an engagement ring.  Jack decided to expose hospital procedures after the board refused to rescind Pat’s official reprimand or meet the house committee’s demands.  Tom urged Mary to discourage Jack from writing the story because it would harm Pat rather than help him. Jill got fed up with Seneca’s overbearing claims on her, then learned the perils of having an unwed-mother reputation when she had to fend off the advances of an eager beaver.  Jack promised Mary he wouldn’t involve Pat in his hospital story.  Mary nixed sleeping with Tom just yet.  Dee succeeded in convincing Faith and Pat that she’s not mentally well.  Frank won the primary election as city councilman.  Newspaper tycoon William Woodard and his wife, Rae, were brought to Riverside after their helicopter crashed.  Mary learned that Tom’s real surname is O’Brien and that he has been running from his past.  Rae made demands at the hospital, conducting business dealings while trying to keep it from the press that William’s condition is critical. Jack was stymied from interviewing Rae about the consequences of Bill’s injuries to his senate campaign.  Rae told Frank she’s going to agree with Roger’s opinion for immediate surgery on Bill, despite Clem’s and Seneca’s advice against it.  Dee’s plan to hide at her mother’s grave in a ploy to get Pat’s attention backfired when Pat insisted she consult a psychiatrist.
