JANUARY-JUNE 1965
Malcolm Thomas and Eve Morris fell into a love affair, but Malcolm two-timed her with Cookie. Eve convinced Malcolm to manage her theater, and they planned their first stage production. Malcolm's relationship with Eve was complicated by the arrival of his ex-wife Kitty DeSena, who won the lead role in the play. Kitty attempted to rekindle her relationship with Malcolm, but he assured her that it would never work.
With Gerry's trial going badly, Mike and Bill convinced Ann Kelly to help them set a trap for Lloyd Griffin. Griffin met Ann at Otto Zimmerman's club when she hinted that she had evidence to link him to Davey Hansen's murder. Ann tricked Lloyd into confessing while Mike and Bill secretly listened. Lloyd pulled a gun and escaped onto the roof of the club, with Bill in pursuit. Bill and Lloyd had a shootout on the roof. While attempting to kill Bill, Lloyd slipped on a fire escape slick with rain and fell to his death.
Under pressure from Cookie, Malcolm agreed to elope, but was unable to break off his affair with Eve. On the pretext of not hurting her family, Malcolm persuaded Cookie to keep their marriage a secret, though he was more worried about Eve's reaction.
Gerry was cleared of Davey's murder, while Bill was reinstated as Chief-of-Police. Bill married his secretary Martha Spears.
Beth Anderson spotted Malcolm and Eve going into a cheap motel and told Cookie. Cookie confronted Malcolm, who admitted that he was having an affair with Eve. After a violent argument, Cookie left. A drunken Malcolm called Eve and told her he had something very important to tell her. Eve was stunned by news of Malcolm's secret marriage. When Malcolm insisted they end their affair because he truly loved Cookie, Eve went insane with jealousy and stabbed him in the back with a pair of Cookie's scissors.
Winston left for an extended business trip in France. Eve blew Monticello for Mexico where she joined Miguel, a former lover. The discovery of Cookie's marriage to Malcolm and his womanizing prompted the police to arrest Cookie for Malcolm's murder. Cookie was indicted by the grand jury and went on trial with Mike defending her. Mike suspected Eve killed Malcolm because he wanted to end their relationship.
Lee and Beth became engaged, but while Lee was away at architectural school, Beth developed an attraction to John Barnes.
JULY-DECEMBER 1965
On the boat home from Paris, Winston befriended charming Frenchman Andre Lazar, who was on his way to Monticello for business. Back in the States, Lazar telephoned Leon Gavril to say he'd made "contact with the target."
Martha and Bill settled into a comfortable married life, though Martha felt unfulfilled without children.
To ingratiate himself to Winston, Lazar flew to Mexico and found Eve. Lazar lied that Cookie's trial was going well, and it looked like she'd be exonerated because the evidence was circumstantial. When a furious Eve insisted Cookie killed Malcolm and deserved to pay for the crime, Lazar suggested she return to Monticello, take the witness stand, and tell the jury that Cookie had threatened to kill Malcolm.
Beth and John grew closer in Lee's absence, and Beth felt guilty when she realized she was falling in love with John.
Eve arrived back in Monticello, accepting Mike's subpoena to testify. On the witness stand, Mike dangled Cookie's wedding ring in front of Eve and drove her insane with subtle comments about how much Malcolm loved Cookie, not Eve. An enraged Eve grabbed the scissors used to kill Malcolm and lunged for Cookie. As the bailiff restrained her, Eve screamed that she should have stabbed Cookie
instead of Malcolm.
Along with assistant Tony Wyatt and bodyguard Vincente, Lazar plotted to infiltrate the Grimsley Foundation with an international drug smuggling operation. Lazar found himself attracted to Louise and decided to get closer to Winston's business by getting rid of Phil. Lazar's insinuations about Phil's infidelity drove a wedge between Phil and Louise.
Lee returned to Monticello and was upset to learn Beth had fallen in love with John. John's refusal to commit to Beth because of his relationship with Gerry infuriated Beth. Lee and Beth decided to continue with their engagement, but Lee doubted her feelings for him.
Lazar's insinuations succeeded in breaking up Phil and Louise, who separated. Phil attempted to buy real estate from Roy Cameron and Roy's young wife Abby. An unhappy Abby lamented her life with Roy, who drank heavily and physically abused her.
Joe Pollock approved a series of newspaper articles on teenage delinquency in Monticello. After an argument with Beth, John sped off in his car and collided with a car driven by Phoebe Smith and her grandmother Victoria Dana. Phoebe feigned serious injury, planning to sue John for liability. After the Marceaus agreed to adopt a child, Martha met Phoebe and sympathized with her. Phoebe and best friend Liz Hillyer were involved with wealthy delinquent Lonnie Winters.
Though still in love with Louise, Phil succumbed to an affair with seductive Abby Cameron. In Phil's absence, Lazar and Wyatt got closer to infiltrating the Grimsley Foundation. Louise learned about Phil's relationship with Abby and decided to divorce him.
