RECAP: Jan 01 1983 - Dec 31 1983 In his vengeful quest to get even with the Martins, Ray Gardner set a bomb to go off at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve in the Martin basement. At the last minute, Greg stumbled upon Ray hiding in the basement. Realizing Jenny was in the house, Ray grabbed his explosive device, ran out of the house, clutching the ticking time bomb to his chest. He died when the device detonated. Erica continued to scheme to find a way to marry Kent. At the same time, her devious sister Silver was sleeping with Kent behind Erica's back, and, perhaps driven by a guilty conscience, Kent told Erica of his plans to start a new line of cosmetics called "ERICA." Silver, fantasizing about the day when she could take Erica's place both professionally and privately with Kent, started "gas lighting" Erica. When Erica caught Silver in a lie, she threw her out of the house. "I'll get even with you." Silver vowed, as she packed her bags. Cliff and Nina's marriage was very much on the rocks, as Nina continually daydreamed about her sizzling sexual encounters with her handsome lover, Steve Jacobi. One day, Cliff, overheard strange noises from inside Steve's apartment. It was Nina - making love to Steve. Within days, Cliff secured a Caribbean divorce. In 1983, Tad Martin came home to his grateful family, who had worried about his welfare in the months he wandered aimlessly around the country. Tad's parents, Joe and Ruth, noticed right away that their little boy had changed. He was older. Wiser. And crafty. Tad had turned into a con artist and a practical joker. Tad played a porn film for his fellow students, not knowing that Jenny's face had been edited into the film. Embarrassed and shocked, Jenny escaped onto a catwalk high above the auditorium. Greg risked his life to save her, but he lost his balance and plunged off the ledge. He was paralyzed. Greg broke off with Jenny to spare her the pain of living with a cripple. At Cortlandt Manor, Palmer continued his charade-of-a-marriage to Donna, who was too busy raising her newborn son, Palmer John, to notice Palmer's affair with his ex-wife, Daisy. When Daisy told Phoebe the truth of little Palmer John's paternity, Phoebe immediately blabbed the news to Donna, who moved out of Palmer's home that very day. She eventually reconciled with Chuck. Silver admitted to Erica that she was having an affair with Kent! Furious with her "lover," Erica confronted Kent at the Founders' Day Ball. Their argument picked up later in Kent's hotel room. In a struggle, the gun Erica had given him for his birthday discharged. Kent slumped to the floor. He was dead... stone cold dead. Silver, who had witnessed the accidental shooting, lied to the police, saying that Erica had murdered Kent in cold blood. Erica went on the run, but was eventually captured and imprisoned. Tad saved the day when he testified that "Silver" was actually an impostor. He had met her in California -- her real name was Connie Wilkes. Fired from her modeling job, Erica formed her own cosmetics company, designed to put Sensuelle out of business. "Erica Kane is back and better than ever, " she declared, rising from the ashes of yet another defeat. When Jesse and Angie snuck away to a motel room to consummate their relationship, Angie was so uncomfortable that they decided to marry instead to make things legal. Together, they journeyed across state lines and tied the knot in a simple ceremony with a Justice of the Peace presiding. When they got home, Jesse and Angie both realized the enormity of what they had done. They kept the marriage a secret, and soon after, Angie received some devastating news. She was pregnant with Jesse's child. When Angie finally confided the truth about her pregnancy to her mother, Pat Baxter, she went to Jesse to feel him out about children. When Jesse said he couldn't even think about it for a few years, Angie decided that a divorce was the best answer, and flew to Haiti for quick legal action. Palmer tried to bribe Steve Jacobi into marrying Nina -- but he wasn't ready for commitment. Meanwhile, Cliff began dating Devon McFadden. Despite the friendship he felt for Devon, Cliff still had intense feelings for Nina. During a fierce argument with his ex-wife, Cliff's anger turned to passion and the former lovers became present lovers when they ended up in bed together. Nina felt that she had to tell Steve, who was incredulous, and she decided to leave him and go home to Cordlandt Manor. Devastated, Devon, an alcoholic, almost took a drink and found support from her new friend, child psychologist Lynn Carson, who revealed to Devon that she is gay. Modeling in New York, Jenny met Tony Barclay, a strikingly handsome male model. He was destined to be her partner in work, and apparently her partner in love. Or so the world believed. In actuality, Jenny and Tony's love affair was engineered by modeling mogul Olga Svenson purely for business and public relations reasons. It worked so well that Olga suggested that they present a phony engagement to the press. Back home in Pine Valley, Tad's pursuit of Liza Colby paid off when Liza fell for his abundant charms. Tad then began an affair with her mother, Marian. When Liza finally made the horrifying discovery that her own mother was the other woman in Tad's life, she went on a self-destructive nympho-maniacal rampage. Erica's new business was going very well, and she eagerly began work on her autobiography, Raising Kane with ghostwriter Michael Roy. The whole town mourned the death of an innocent child. When a fire broke out at the Chateau, Donna's son John died from smoke inhalation. Donna was completely unable to accept John's death, and went out of her mind, believing that a rag doll was her son. Greg regained the use of his legs. Realizing that she loved Greg, Jenny told Tony that the wedding was off, and sent a letter to Greg declaring her love. Enid, however, intercepted the letter, and hid it from Greg. Mark Dalton continued his downhill spiral, finding himself unable to compose at all without cocaine. The drug use cost him his marriage to Ellen. When Angie first held her newborn son in her arms, she knew she couldn't give him up. Still, her scheming father, Les Baxter, convinced her to sign the adoption papers. When Jesse learned about the baby, he rushed right to the hospital, but it was too late -- the crib was empty, and the baby had been given to his adoptive parents. Angie and Jesse started a desperate search for their son, and ended up kidnapping the baby and running off to Sea City, where they were married again.
