Viki�s affair with Sloan effectively ended her marriage.

Though not happy, Dorian was resigned to accepting her daughter Cassie�s impending marriage to Reverend Andrew Carpenter. Marty Saybrooke, on the other hand, wasn�t as gracious. Still reeling from Andrew�s rejection, she showed up at the church drunk and intending to cause a scene. Marty was determined to stop the wedding, but was hustled away by Viki.

Viki and Clint hoped to bring the magic back to their marriage, but early in the new year it became apparent that the joy they shared for so long had vanished. As Clint and Viki grew more distant, Viki found herself burning with sexual curiosity about Sloan Carpenter. Viki, always the paradigm of proper behavior, spent her idle time fantasizing about the General. When Sloan asked Viki to go away with him, she agreed�unaware that, by sheer coincidence, Dorian was luxuriating at the same spa. When Dorian saw Sloan and Viki together, she smiled with devilish delight. Disguising her voice, she placed a call to Clint telling him that Viki had broken her leg and needed his help.

After racing to Vermont, Clint walked in on Sloan and Viki in bed! Outraged by his wife�s inappropriate behavior, Clint filed for divorce. To clear his head, Clint went to his ranch in Arizona and was seriously injured in a plane crash.

Nora hid her fear from Bo that she had been the driver of the car that ran him and Sarah off the road. Much to their relief, it turned out that Nora, who was plagued by blinding headaches and blackouts, was not to blame. As their love blossomed, Bo realized that this feisty attorney was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Nora exuberantly accepted his proposal of marriage.
