But when Jo finds the Carters, they shoot her down. After Jo gets a threatening visit from the evil Mrs. Carter, she finally realizes that she can never win this war and makes a painful choice to give her baby up for adoption. Meanwhile, Peter and Caitlin are revealed to be having an affair in which they plot to get Amanda fired by tampering with her drug tests so they can have D&D all for themselves. When news of a rent increase circulates at Melrose, Sydney welcomes Rikki, a mysterious young woman to help her in paying the increased rent, and who introduces Sydney to her guru, Martin Abbott, a motivational speaker. Elsewhere, Alison accompanies Terry to a football game in Miami and gets engaged with him. Amanda asks Billy and Matt's help to prove her innocence from drug charges, but a desperate move, Peter makes an attempt to kill Amanda by having surgery performed on her. Michael saves her in the nick of time and Peter is arrested. Amanda reclaims her throne at D&D, ousting Caitlin. Also, Alison breaks off her engagement with Terry when he falls off the wagon.
