1989 (#6) - Deveney's revelation, escape with Todd and tragic car accident

Overjoyed by the news of Angela's awakening and thrilled to meet her, Eric and Ridge insist that Angela leave the clinic and return to stay with them, first, of course, going through a hospital stay that would be better able to handle this initial period of rehabilitation. Suspicions of deception, especially on Ridge's part, arrive when he notices a cigarette butt in Angela's room; an embarrassing situation that Todd nips in the bud by admitting to having started smoking and apologizing for the incident; but it is especially when Angela shows incredible and sudden signs of improvement, and declares herself against hospitalization, that even Stephanie realizes she has been cheated. Deveney then, realizing that she has been discovered, reveals her identity and threatens Stephanie warning her that if she reports her she will reveal to the police that it was Thorne who shot Ridge; a secret that Deveney overhears in one of the many moments of confidence between Stephanie and Todd. Soon, Deveney and Todd are handed $150,000 by Eric and Stephanie, before fleeing, intent on enjoying the rest of their lives together. Feeling foolish for having believed Todd's lies and ashamed for having been cheated in such a way, the couple decides to put the incident behind them by telling the family that Angela was dead. But when Ridge, who has always suspected everything, comes across a Deveney who is about to leave and is intent on withdrawing all the cash she can from the bank counter, he understands perfectly what has happened. The boy tries to chase her and tries unsuccessfully to reach her, but the woman, with Todd waiting for her in the car, manages to escape. Eric and Stephanie, convinced by Ridge that he has no intention of letting the two impostors get away with it, decide to report the incident to the police, who circulate their mug shots all over the state. And just a few days later, the shocking news: following a tragic car accident, two charred bodies were found in the wreckage of their car, initially unidentified but later attributed to them: Angela and Todd are dead.
