Sheila was prancing around town disguised as both Jennifer and Brenda. Scott believed Brenda to be his innocent tutor who was helping him write a novel. When he showed her a necklace he wanted to present to his mother, she stole it and laced it with poison first. While Michael was at his bachelor party, Sheila cornered a delusional Lauren on her roof encouraging her to jump. Michael got to her in time and Lauren spent some time in the hospital, opting to postpone their wedding. The big day did occur however without a stitch! Things got rocky, however, on Lauren and Michael's honeymoon cruise. While Michael was snorkeling, Tom and Sheila managed to get on board and kidnap Lauren, then blowing up the ship. Tom turned on Sheila and locked her and Lauren up in a bomb shelter. Seeing the explosion left Michael believing his new bride was dead.

Feeling the walls caving in on himself, Tom made a last ditch effort to have Gloria meet him in an alley. Furious, John overheard the conversation and left the house. Seeing this, Ashley panicked yelling for Gloria to call the police after she chased after him. When she arrived she found Tom shot and picked up the gun just as police arrived, leaving her accused of the crime. As Michael tried to get information from Tom as he lay in the hospital about Lauren, Tom flatlined.
