Santa Barbara - Season 1

Santa Barbara, July 30th, 1979. In the Capwell residence, a reception is being held in honour of Channing Jr, one of the off-spring of powerful C.C.. Accepting a note inviting him to go to the office, Channing Jr leaves the guests and enters the room when somebody fires at him. Five years later, Joe Perkins is released from prison for good behaviour. In the Capwell residence, where the engagement of Kelly Capwell and of her partner Peter Flint is being celebrated, it is disappointment that C.C. and his elder son Mason feel learning that the man imprisoned for the murder of Channing Jr was released and is getting ready to return to Santa Barbara. The announcement of this news by television on the contrary excites Marisa and Jade Perkins, the mother and sister of Joe. They get ready to welcome Joe home, in spite of little enthusiasm from John, the father. Ted, the brother of Channing Jr, avoids the celebration of his sister's engagement to find his childhood-friend, Laken Lockridge. At the same time, Minx, Laken's grandmother, asks the police to intervene at the Capwell place to turn down the sound of music, by pretending to be inconvenienced.  The celebration however comes to an end when the engaged couple leave their family and friends to go aboard a helicopter. A mysterious character with long red nails seems also concerned about Joe's return and requests two henchmen to prevent him from joining the city. Manhandled in the coach station, Joe however succeeds in getting to the coach bound for Santa Barbara. Under way, he rethinks his happy years when he shared a love enthralled with the young person Kelly. He is however interrupted in his memories by both criminals who, from their car, pull the coach over to the side of the road. Fortunately, nobody is hurt and the coach arrives finally at the destination. At the coach station of Santa Barbara, a crowd shares their opposition about Joe's return. Some metres from there, Santana Andrade, the daughter of the Capwell's instructor, waits for Joe with a weapon in her hand. At the same time when Joe goes out of the coach, the helicopter with Kelly and Peter inside flies over the railway station. In spite of the distance, Kelly and Joe seem to succeed in a gaze...

At the railway station, Joe is welcomed by his mother and sister who bring him back home. Santana, surprised by Rosa, her mother, drops her revolver on the floor. Mason, who is surprised by this gesture, tries to find out why she would want to attempt to kill the supposed murderer of her stepbrother. But Santana tells her mother in confidence: that she secretly loved Channing Jr, before his death, and that she was pregnant by him. In Acapulco, she gave birth to a son she was forced by C.C. Capwell to leave by giving him up for adoption. Off-loaded from the helicopter at the beach, Kelly and Peter are driven to board a superb yacht where they will share some days of intimacy. And yet after the event of the day, Kelly finds it very difficult to fix her attention on Peter. The mysterious woman with the long red nails proves to be Augusta Lockridge, Laken's mother. She almost surprises her daughter in brave company with Ted, with him just having time to hide under Laken's bed before Augusta enters the room. But Minx is not fooled by the surprised visit of the young man in the Lockridge residence. At the Perkins residence, John takes it out on Joe whom he accuses of being responsible for the state of distress and of poverty that this couple has known for five years. With his loyalty towards C.C., his employer, John prefers leaving the family home, with a suitcase in his hand, and the big despair of his wife...

Mason hopes that witnesses saw Santana with her weapon the day before, in the coach station. But it seems very quickly that it is only an excuse to get closer to her, when he makes her believe that he succeeded in removing the charges against her in one phone call. Rosa, who is very angry with C.C., cannot help revealing to him that she knows everything about Santana's baby. On the beach of Santa Barbara, Danny, the brother of Santana, tries to make his place in Jade's heart. Finding it very difficult to compete with the muscles of the rescuer in the sea Warren Lockridge, he decides to go on a spectacular flight in a hang-glider. Its landing does not interest Jade but interests a cinema agent who passed at that time and offers him to commit a second act for the filming of a movie. It is by the newspaper that Joe learns about Peter's and Kelly's engagement, he still loves Kelly. He decides to find her, he goes on the harbour where from he spies with his binoculars a part of the hip in a bikini of nice Kelly on his yacht...
