1975
On the night of a major piano concert in Detroit, Leslie Brooks received a devastating blow. Anxious for emotional support from the man whom she loved, Leslie sent word to Brad, inviting him to attend. But her letter was intercepted by Lorie, who quickly hatched a nasty scheme to steal the spotlight from her sister. When a disappointed Leslie phoned Brad after the concert to ask why he didn't show up, Lorie answered the phone. Lorie was at Brad's apartment, receiving assistance on a book she was writing. Cunningly, she led Leslie to believe that she and Brad were lovers. Later that night, Lorie seduced Brad and proposed marriage. Believing that Leslie wasn't interested in him, Brad married Lorie. When Leslie learned of the marriage she had a nervous breakdown and wandered aimlessly through Central Park, where all her identification was stolen. She was admitted to a mental hospital as "Jane Doe."
Pierre confirmed that his sister Marianne's suspicion was true--Sally was pregnant with another man's baby. In a case of tragic bad timing, Sally had finally learned to appreciate Pierre for his generous, unselfish nature and had fallen in love with him. But Pierre was killed by a robber at the restaurant. Sally wanted to leave town. However, Snapper urged her to stay until the baby was born. Eventually, Snapper confessed to Sally that he wanted to keep an eye on her because he feared that her unborn baby might have been injured by her recent suicide attempt, which occured when she found that Snapper had proposed to Chris.
Sally gave birth to a baby boy, Pierre Charles. Feeling sympathy for Sally's plight of raising a baby alone, Chris encouraged Snapper to spend time with Sally and her baby. However, Chris eventually realized that Snapper was the baby's father and Snapper confirmed Chris' fears. Distraught, Chris suffered a miscarriage. Soon after, she separated from Snapper and accepted a job as a social worker in Legal Aid working for Greg. Meanwhile, Sally moved to Chicago. With Sally gone, Chris and Snapper soon reconciled.
