Changing Partners

Lance hat sich von Angela die volle Entscheidungsfreiheit über den 'New Globe' zusichern lassen. Ohne ihr Wissen benutzt er diese, um den Zeitungsverlag gegen Richards Radiostation einzutauschen. Angela wird von Peter Stavros gedrängt, endlich den Hochzeitstermin festzulegen, doch wichtige Geschäfte erfordern ihre ganze Aufmerksamkeit. Angela will die Gemeinde von der Notwendigkeit eines Staudammes überzeugen, der einen Teil von Chases Land überschwemmen würde.

Without Angela's knowledge, Lance trades his interest in The New Globe for Richard Channing's radio station to have a showcase for Apollonia's singing career. Angela tries unsuccessfully to buy Terry's land and in retaliation goads Terry into investing in Tuscany Downs. Angela then persuades the Board of Supervisors to approve a new irrigation system, which would place the land on which Chase is working under water. As Maggie is recovering, she tells Angela off. In the meantime, Peter pushes Angela to set a date for their wedding. Father Christopher makes peace between Melissa, Cole and Robin, but Melissa gives him reason to worry when she tells him she doesn't love Cole anymore. At a honky-tonk, where Lance has arranged for Apollonia to demonstrate her singing, Emma meets a dashing truck driver named Dwayne.
