Santa Barbara || Episode 2 - Santana wants to kill Joe Perkins
Air date: July 31th, 1984
At the railway station, Joe is welcomed by his mother and sister who bring him back home. Santana, surprised by Rosa, her mother, drops her revolver on the floor. Mason, who is surprised by this gesture, tries to find out why she would want to attempt to kill the supposed murderer of her stepbrother. But Santana tells her mother in confidence: that she secretly loved Channing Jr, before his death, and that she was pregnant by him. In Acapulco, she gave birth to a son she was forced by C.C. Capwell to leave by giving him up for adoption. Off-loaded from the helicopter at the beach, Kelly and Peter are driven to board a superb yacht where they will share some days of intimacy. And yet after the event of the day, Kelly finds it very difficult to fix her attention on Peter. The mysterious woman with the long red nails proves to be Augusta Lockridge, Laken's mother. She almost surprises her daughter in brave company with Ted, with him just having time to hide under Laken's bed before Augusta enters the room. But Minx is not fooled by the surprised visit of the young man in the Lockridge residence. At the Perkins residence, John takes it out on Joe whom he accuses of being responsible for the state of distress and of poverty that this couple has known for five years. With his loyalty towards C.C., his employer, John prefers leaving the family home, with a suitcase in his hand, and the big despair of his wife...
