GUIDING LIGHT: A DEATH IN THE FAMILY (TV)
Summary
One in this long-running daytime serial about the residents of the midwestern town of Springfield. This episode takes place on the day of Tammy's funeral as various people grieve in different ways. Reva and Jonathan try to find comfort in Sarah. Remy and Frank battle over bringing Tammy's killer to justice. Gus tells Daisy she owes it to Tammy to attend the funeral, as her boyfriend Gillespie was driving the car that killed Tammy -- and since she's an accessory to Tammy's murder. Meanwhile, Alan, Beth, and Lizzie decide to go to the funeral, despite talk that Alan is a suspect. Jonathan initially decides against attending the funeral, feeding Sarah and trying to talk with Tammy, hoping she can hear him. At the funeral, Harley tells Gus that she wants to make Alan pay for his role in Tammy's death. Shortly after Rick wonders aloud if Alan will have the nerve to show up at the church, Alan indeed appears, stunning fellow funeral attendees. Jonathan, too, decides to go, at which point he is told by Frank and Remy that justice will soon be served. Cassie tries to get through a teary eulogy but is unable, with Josh finishing her words. Afterward, Jonathan takes the floor to add some more thoughts -- becoming increasingly angry over his loss. As the funeral seemingly draws to a close, Jonathan is unable to let Tammy go, despite Reva's help. Afterward, Alan faces off with Reva, calling Sarah a "Spaulding," not a "Shayne." Jonathan then attacks Alan, telling him he does not deserve to live, before eventually Billy separates the two. Still mad, Jonathan -- with Sarah in the backseat -- pursues Alan's car as he leaves the funeral. As Alan becomes aware of Jonathan's pursuit, his driver speeds up, eventually coming to a dangerous curve which the out-of-control Jonathan misses, plummeting over a cliff. Reva screams from the top of the cliff as Jonathan's car bursts into flame. Commercials deleted.
