Love's Triumph

Bei Maggies Operation treten Komplikationen auf. Nach einem Herzstillstand liegt sie im Koma. Besorgt wacht Chase an ihrem Bett und hofft auf ein baldiges Lebenszeichen. Richard versucht, an das Erbteil seiner Mutter heranzukommen, um den Bau der Pferderennbahn finanzieren zu können. Er ahnt nicht, dass Chase ihr gesamtes Vermögen einer gemeinnützigen Organisation gestiftet hat.

Just as Michael and Dr. Heller remove the last of Maggie's tumor, her heart stops. Working quickly, Michael and Dr. Heller manage to get a weak pulse, but Maggie is left in a coma. As Michael humbly admits that Maggie's fate is up to God, Angela prays for Maggie, Julia and Falcon Crest, and reunites with Philip, whom she believes she will be able to trust again some day. Meanwhile, Richard is crazed when he learns that Chase has turned over Jacqueline's fifty million dollar trust fund to St. Martha's convent in Paris at a time when Richard desperately needs the money. On top of this, the cartel's plot against Richard threatens Pamela's life. After Pamela is abducted by the cartel, Richard realizes that though he may have retained control of the racetrack, the cartel has the one thing he cares most about: Pamela.
