Melrose Place

Jake returns to Los Angeles where he receives a $50,000 reward by the FBI for helping them in the Palmer Woodward case after the arrest of Brittany, in which he uses the money to buys Shooters. Jane refuses to believe Sydney's allegation that Chris is harassing her, even when Jake confirms it after witnessing one of Chris' lurid comments he makes to Sydney. Jane (at Chris' urging), throws Sydney out of her apartment and fires her. Chris makes things worse when he tells Jane and Sydney's parole officer a fabricated story about Sydney harassing HIM, and then tries to force himself upon Sydney as she closes up Shooters. Susan Madsen, a restaurant chef and Alison's old college roommate, moves in with her and captures the attention of Billy. Meanwhile, Peter won't allow Michael and Kimberly to appear in an ad campaign for D&D, but when he meets Amanda for the first time, he changes his mind fast. Also, Jo becomes worried about her financial situation before the coming custody battle.

Jo desperately tries to get her baby back from Kimberly, but since it's officially dead, she can't prove that it's hers. Meanwhile, Sydney enjoys being Chris' captive in Las Vegas. But when Sydney finally learns that the money Chris's spending and gambling away is Jane's, she calls on Jake for help. Michael, Jane and Jake fly to Las Vegas to rescue Sydney. But Chris slips away with the rest of Jane's money, leaving behind Sydney who surprisingly gets lashed out by the paranoid Jane whom accuses her of being in league with Chris, and even Jake is skeptic to Sydney's abduction story. Only Michael is silently amused by all this and tells Jane a big, plain, "I told you so" about Chris. Back in Los Angeles, Bruce creates a new management team which includes Alison, but when the takeover of D&D is complete, the majority holders (led by Peter) install Amanda as president and as a result, Bruce is dismissed and kills himself. Billy is promoted to vice president of accounts and his first assignment from the now tyrannical Amanda is to fire Alison. But an intervention of Billy, Susan and Matt finally convinces Alison that she needs help.
