A Brand New Day

Jim Reilley rast auf der Flucht vor der Polizei in die Hochzeitsgesellschaft von Sydney und Craig. Das Unglücksauto erfasst die soeben noch strahlende Braut Sydney und schleudert sie durch die Luft. Blutüberströmt bleibt Sydney vor den Stufen der Kirche liegen.

Sydney and Reilly die in the accident. Samantha does not face any criminal charges, but Craig vows revenge. Jennifer tries to provide Craig with emotional support. Amanda goes to New York and turns down the job she had begged her former boss, Eric Baines, to create for her. Peter and Taylor plan to get married, but Peter instead uses the ceremony to humiliate her and stress the fact that he knows she is not pregnant. Peter threatens Michael, who is unable to use his hands due to the attack. Michael's recommendation helps Matt get a job at an AIDS clinic. Matt and Chelsea move to San Francisco. Dr. Brett Cooper visits Kimberly's grave and promises to get even with Michael. He takes a job at Wilshire Memorial and moves into Matt's old apartment.

Chelsea est allée vivre chez Matt mais, ne supportant pas d'être enfermée, elle s'enfuit. Taylor refuse de quitter Kyle, qu'elle aime toujours. Megan est expulsée par sa propriétaire. Pour survivre, elle se prostitue à nouveau dans la rue, mais Michael vient à la rescousse. Amanda apprend que Taylor est la soeur de Beth.
