There, he met a poor French girl, Solange Bertrand (Kim Thomson), whom he fell in love with.

Through her assistant Paula (Penny Johnson Jerald), John finds out that Hilary lied to him about her past, and confronts her with the facts.

Second, John meets the middle daughter, Alexandra (Patricia Kalember), who was adopted by Margaret (Colleen Dewhurst), and currently resides in South Carolina as the wife of Senator Henry (Terry O'Quinn).

Third, John travels to San Francisco to meet with the youngest daughter Meagan (Claudia Christian), who is now working as a doctor.

Her husband (Robert Bidaman) feels that their love life has now become a tight schedule, and he is frustrated that Meagan will not consider adopting.

She then goes on to explain that she witnessed her father strangling her mother to death, after she had admitted that she has been in love with Patterson for years, and was certain that Meagan is his child.

Hilary initially refuses to attend the funeral, but, as a gesture for accepting her past, finally shows up, aided by her new partner John.
