Iris was upset to learn that Alice would soon be free and neatly managed to put her in an uncomfortable position. Discovering that Russ had recently achieved remarkable success with drug therapy on inoperable heart patients, Iris pressured Eliot into enrolling Dennis in Russ's therapy program, necessitating a move to Bay City. Alice would either have to leave Eliot's employ or face seeing Steven and Rachel together. Alice initially chose to remain in New York but Dennis' pleas that she see him through treatment overcame her determination to stay away.
Miraculously, Dennis began to respond almost immediately to the therapy and upon Russ's guarantee of a full cure for the boy, Eliot told Alice he was laying the groundwork for a divorce.
