The Brooks family desperately tried to locate Leslie, who was still tucked away as "Jane Doe" in the New York mental hospital. Lorie, however, wasn't shedding any tears for her missing sister.

The doctor phoned Stuart Brooks, who caught the next flight out of Genoa City. In New York, Stuart was delighted to discover that 'Jane Doe' was his daughter, Leslie.
With Leslie back in Genoa City, Brad discovered that Lorie had manipulated him into marrying her. He immediately broke off their engagement. Thanks to Brad's loving support, Leslie recovered completely from her ordeal and they made plans to marry. Leslie also arranged to buy Pierre's nightclub from Sally. She renamed it the Allegro and began performing regularly at the club.
