Melrose Place

Kimberly Shaw returns, practically from the dead, after spending months in a coma from the car accident and moves back into the beach house, prompting Michael to throw Sydney out. But it becomes apparent that Kimberly is not the same person as Michael knew for she hide a gruesome scar on her head from the car accident. Meanwhile, Alison's parents hire a wedding consultant, but Alison and Billy fire her when she doesn't respect the pair's wishes at all. During a D&D photo shoot, Amanda forces Jo to fire a model, named Sarah Owens. Bruce Teller investigates and discovers that the model happens to be from Amanda's long-estranged mother's agency, Models Inc. Amanda's mother, Hillary Michaels, tries to make up with Amanda, but only gets scorn because Amanda still bitterly resents Hillary for walking out on her and her father without a saying a word over 20 years ago.

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.
