Rachel Realizes John Caldwell Is Really Mac, 1983

When Rachel lost her eyesight in a car accident in 1983, Mac, in order to be near her (since they were divorced at the time), shaved off his mustache, put a bandage on his finger, and adopted an accent so that he could pose as a man named John Caldwell. In these scenes, Rachel's eyesight has returned, and Cecile, ever the troublemaker, is trying to get into the Cory Mansion to tell Rachel that Mac is masquerading as John Caldwell. Vivien takes extreme measures to stop Cecile, including tackling her to the floor! Vivien has Cecile pinned down, and Cecile is hitting Vivien with her purse, when Jamie arrives and separates them. Rachel hears the noise from the art studio, where she's waiting for John Caldwell, and calls out, wanting to know what's going on. Jamie calls back that it's nothing, and Rachel is not to worry. Even though Cecile says she won't try anything, she pushes past Vivien and takes off running through the mansion. Jamie lunges for Cecile but fails to grab her, and Vivien stops him from going after Cecile by telling him that Rachel can see again and she's waiting in the studio for John Caldwell. Elated, Jamie and Vivien hug. Meanwhile, Mac, as John Caldwell, has arrived to see Rachel and is asking about the ruckus he heard while coming up the path. He has his back to her, looking out the window, when she turns around to get her first look at John Caldwell...and in that instant, she realizes that it's really been Mac who has been by her side all along. Jamie and Vivien literally come running into the art studio (Cecile must have gotten lost or something, because thankfully, she didn't ruin the moment), and Rachel, with her back to Mac/John, says that she'd like a minute alone with John Caldwell, then places her index finger to her lips. Jamie smiles the most beautiful smile at his mother. Vivien quickly departs to answer the ringing phone (and possibly throw a flying tackle Cecile's way; I don't know if she did or not, but I loved the first one!), and Jamie watches, still smiling, as Mac tucks Rachel's hand through his arm, holds the art studio door open, and walks her outside. Thanks to Eddie for these incredible scenes!
