Posing as Johnny’s jealous lover, Jinx faked death when the gun went off during a struggle with Raven. Smiley detained Buffy, who came home early. Raven called Cliff to her defense after being “jailed” for killing Jinx. Spence reminded Libby that Sky is their ticket to the Whitney fortune. Jody got a good look at Joe, who smothered Billie Mae. Sky had a “spell” outside Valerie’s apartment while Valerie reminisced about her love for him. Jinx had fainting spells.
Since Nicole is Jody's half-sister, maybe Leonie was her step mother? But that doesn't make sense because didn't Nicole's father play a role in the show as a crocked politician when it was still on CBS? Although I always thought of Jody as a ward of Nicole, like Robin and Batman, or Monica Quatermaine and Gail Baldwin? I know new characters on EON didn't always get much exposition to explain their origin (eg Kelly), but Jody's relative status is still in question for me.

I agree, we never saw the wedding which is why the announcement was such a shock.
Isn't silly that they broke up over Duke? He left and never returned, but they never got back together. There are a couple of older couples of the era who broke up because the wife was "interfering" in their children's love lives. However, just as often, those kids moved on, or broke up, and the reason the couple broke up is no longer a valid concern.
It seems like Lucinda was difficult to write. She was a bitch with vulnerability and that balance was hard for some writers. At her worse, she was either too mean, or her evil plans were too big, or she was too silly and more concerned with her daughter's happiness than running a multi-national conglomerate. Her sensuality was completely lost as she aged and she was far too easily conned by men who would have been her toys when she first came to Oakdale.
