Recriminations

Cole und Melissa beschließen nach einer Aussprache, nun doch zu heiraten. Allerdings findet die Hochzeit diesmal in bescheidenem Rahmen statt. Nur die engsten Familienmitglieder sind geladen. Den Bund fürs Leben wollen auch Lance und Lorraine schließen. Als Richard erfährt, mit wem seine Tochter sich heimlich verlobt hat, kommt es zu einem großen Krach.

Melissa confronts Angela when she realizes that Angela had provoked Cole into walking out on their wedding. Although Melissa tries to seek comfort with Greg, she cannot put Cole out of her mind. After arguing with Melissa, Cole swallows his pride, reunites with her and marries her in a meadow in a small private ceremony. Lance proposes to Lorraine and surprisingly receives Angela's support. Unfortunately, Judge Holder has denied a change of venue for Lance's trial. Before Lorraine has a chance to discuss her pregnancy and engagement with Richard, Angela deviously provides him with the information. In turn, Richard confronts Lorraine, who begs him to be happy for her. Instead, Richard throws her out of the house, telling her that, as far as he's concerned, she is dead.
