Title: Haunted by the Past

Characters: Marcia; Brad Long; Jim Hudson

Synopsis: Brad proposes to Marcia, but makes her vow that he's the first man she's ever loved--his mother left his father and returned to her first husband, so he's insecure. Marcia doesn't tell him about her "schoolgirl-crush" Jim, but when Jim comes back to town and blackmails her, she has to give him cash and her engagement ring. Marcia reports the ring stolen and Jim is arrested; her past is exposed to Brad. Marcia and Brad mutually apologise and will be wed.

Title: Under a Cloud of Suspicion

Characters: Mark; Lila; Crane Benson; Eddie; Jan West; Hal

Synopsis: Mark breaks up with Lila, but says he'll say she dumped him so she won't be humiliated. He is then killed in an auto accident and his friends blame Lila. Crane defends her and they fall in love. However, Lila breaks their engagement because Crane will be ostracised by their friends. Mark's mother calls everyone to her house and introduces them to Mark's fiancee Jan, clearing Lila of any guilt in his accidental death. The others apologise and Crane and Lila will be married.
