After Alan Jr. was born, Alan figured out that Monica and Rick were having an affair and realized that AJ was their son.

However, when she learned that Alan had left town to look for his missing nephew, Monica stayed one last night and had sex with Ward. Upon her return home, Alan announced that he had found Tracy's son and was bringing him home.

1988: Colton Killed Frisco
Felicia fell in love with friend and ex-Marine Colton Shore, who helped her get over the death of her husband, Frisco. But as their relationship progressed, Colton continued to have haunting nightmares and troubled thoughts that he couldn't quite identify. At Felicia's urging, Colton underwent hypnosis. During a very disturbing session, Colton was horrified to realize that he was the one who killed Frisco. Later, Felicia was shocked to discover that, months earlier, Colton had been brainwashed by a group of terrorists to murder her husband.

1989: Frisco Is Alive
On Felicia and Colton's wedding day, Frisco was revealed to be alive and well after escaping from prison — and watched his wife marry the man who tried to kill him. Frisco unsuccessfully attempted to warn Felicia, and she and Colton left for their honeymoon. The romantic getaway was cut short, however, when Felicia admitted that she couldn't help but think of Frisco. While Frisco decided to leave town in an attempt to protect his wife, Sean and Robert sought out Felicia to tell her Frisco was alive. But they were too late: Felicia came face-to-face with her "dead" husband on the docks and fainted from shock.
