Bitter Harvest

Melissa möchte ihre Weinernte an Richard verkaufen. Durch einen Trick versucht Angelas Anwalt Philip Erikson, an die begehrte Ware zu kommen. Erikson beruft sich auf ein altes Abkommen zwischen Melissa und Angela Channing. Das Kartell will die Rennbahn übernehmen und greift notfalls zu räuberischen Methoden. Richard weigert sich, die Mitglieder des Kartells zu empfangen und bereut dies bald bitter.

Melissa loses control over her wicked power game when Philip intervenes and forces her to sell the Agretti harvest to him. Richard is nearly run down by a hit man as the cartel becomes even more determined to take over his racetrack. When Maggie interviews Sister Jeanette, an old acquaintance of Chase's mother, she overhears the startling news that Jacqueline had an affair with the head of the Nazi Gestapo in Paris, Johann Riebmann. When Cole returns home to find Melissa waiting for him seductively posed in his bed, he throws her out, but not before Linda enters, who witnesses the ugly scene.
