Jen ends up turning to prospective stepmother Nora as a maternal figure for advice on life and relationships, to the displeasure of Lindsay.

Lindsay's relationship with R.J. eventually blossoms into a romance, and she helps him gain custody of his granddaughter, Jamie, after the death of R.J.'s daughter, Keri Reynolds.

At the same time, she busies herself with numerous children's charities, advocacy groups for single mothers, and showcases the work of artist Cristian Vega in her gallery.

After Nora presents the award, an emotional Lindsay tells the audience she can not accept it, after which John McBain arrests her for the murder of Spencer Truman.

After learning of visits from several friends, such as Bo and R.J., Nora arranges to have criminal proceedings reconvened, convinced that Lindsay has feigned mental illness.

Lindsay's attorney attempts to get her murder charges dropped on double jeopardy but fails, and she pleads guilty.

Catherine Hickland stated she purposefully played up that moment ambiguously to leave story options open for the Prospect Park continuation of One Life to Live.
