When Julie wanders off with a drifter, she ends up being murdered. After her death, Bob marries Sue, his partner from the diner who has been in love with Bob all along. In the midst of all this, Mitch gets confirmation he fathered Claire's teenaged nephew, Darren, with Claire's now deceased sister.
