Cole will ins Ausland flüchten, weil er befürchtet, im Prozess um den Mord an Carlo Agretti seine Schuldlosigkeit nicht beweisen zu können. Chase findet seinen Sohn in letzter Minute und bringt ihn zurück. Tony ist zurückgekehrt und versucht, mit Hilfe von Richard Channing Julia für sich zu gewinnen.

Doctors give Melissa's premature baby, Joseph, who suffers from a host of health problems, a twenty percent chance of survival. Richard uses a lucrative job offer to entice Tony into securing Julia's agreement to sell off her interests in Falcon Crest and The New Globe. However, the plan backfires and Julia is devastated; Tony realizes Richard's job offer wasn't real. When Cole goes on the run to avoid facing trial for the murder of Carlo Agretti, Melissa agrees to a second autopsy of her father's body hoping it will help clear Cole. The autopsy reveals that the killer must have been right-handed, whereas Cole is left-handed, and the charges are therefore dropped.
