Cole's unconscious body is still limp on the floor as deadly exhaust fumes fill the closed Gioberti garage. Inside the house, Chase, in bed with Maggie, is distracted by a distant sound outside. After ripping open the door, Chase drags Cole out, shouts for Maggie, then desperately administers C.P.R. to his son. After Nick and Vicky make love, he is uncomfortable as he prepares to take her back to their meeting place in town. At Falcon Crest, sirens disrupt the silence of the household. When Nick's Packard instead heads to the Gioberti's to drop Vicky off, vehicles with red lights flashing, whiz past them. Realizing they are headed to the same place, Nick steps on the gas and arrives at the Gioberti's, right behind an ambulance and several vehicles. A team of paramedics revives Cole.

Alors que Cole est dans le coma, Melissa utilise Joseph pour obtenir son indépendance vis-à-vis d'Angela. Chase trouve un indice sur le meurtre de Carlo.

Melissa setzt Angela unter Druck. Sie will die Agretti-Weinberge an Richard verkaufen, wenn Angela ihre Schulden nicht bezahlt. Cole, der sich angeblich wegen des Mordes an Agretti das Leben nehmen wollte, kann in letzter Minute gerettet werden. Chase engagiert einen Privatdetektiv, weil er bei der Aufklärung des Falles von der Polizei nicht unterstützt wird.
