Kitty Davis was hurt by her husband Nick’s insistence that their marriage was over. She ran away and collapsed in the snow. Phil Brent found Kitty, his step-mother and took her to Margo Flax’s when she accepted the end of her marriage. Anne Martin was horrified when Paul, her husband, told her he was planning to divorce. She realized he had assumed she had chosen Nick. She sneaked out of the hospital and police realized she left intentionally because she withdrew money from her bank account. Secretary Mona Kane blurted out to Anne’s mother, Phoebe Tyler, that Nick gave Ann up so she could have a child. Phoebe refused to fire Mona as Charles asked and Mona was distraught by what she had unintentionally said. Paul rejected the possibility that Anne might not want a divorce.
Mona reluctantly agreed to testify to her daughter Erica Kane Martin’s adultery with Jason. Erica drank too much and broke down. She begged Jeff Martin, her former husband, to reconsider reconciliation but he refused. The divorce was finalized and Jeff and Mary Kennicott jubilantly planned for their marriage.
Tara Tyler sent Phil Brent a letter saying she did not meet him at the motel not because she did not love him but because she did. She simply could not betray her husband Chuck. Phil rushed to California and Tara explained the baby was her first consideration. Despite her desire to tell Phil the truth, she remained faithful to her marriage. Phil returned home telling his mother Ruth Martin the baby could be his. Erica and Phil became closer in commiseration over their mutual unhappy lives. Erica went straight to Chuck telling him she hoped she would remain friends with Tara and him. An EPA job offer made Philip reconsider his decision to leave Pine Valley but Ruth was upset to see Erica near her son. Erica even told Tara she and Phillip were close.

Paul Martin told his brother Joe that he felt living with a ghost since Anne disappeared but he had been seeing Margo Flax a lot. Paul and Charles Tyler, Anne’s father, learned by a private investigator that Anne had been located in London. Margo admitted to Kitty Shea, whose marriage to Nick Davis - Anne’s former husband - recently crumbled, that she was in love with Paul but afraid of being hurt. Kate Martin, Paul and Joe’s mother, told Phoebe Tyler, Anne’s mother, that Paul was seeing Margo but Paul told his mother that Margo was only a friend.
Phoebe pressed Mona Kane to quit her job as Charles Tyler’s – Phoebe’s husband – secretary but she refused. She persuaded Mona’s daughter, Erica, to convince Mona because the Maxwell murder scandal reflected poorly on Charles. Mona was furious.
Nick Davis offered Erica a loan to re-establish her modeling career in New York and to leave Nick’s son, Phil, alone. However, Erica managed to get a local television news-weather reporting job. Nick asked Tara Tyler to see more of Phil to distract him from Erica. Then, Chuck Tyler, Tara’s husband, took Tara out for an evening of dinner but the mood changed when Phil and Erica walked in celebrating their new jobs. Ruth Martin, Phil’s mother, and Tara were livid at Erica’s brass in barging into the Martin home to wait for Phil. Phil was annoyed when Chuck warned him about Erica.
Dr. Jeff Martin and Mary Kennicott’s approaching wedding was marred by the admittance to the hospital of two year old Teddy, a beaten child. Dr. Frank Grant and his wife, Nancy, were horrified that they had to stand by helplessly as the boy would probably be returned to his parents.
