The Truth About Tina
In 1984, Viki's former ward Tina Clayton returns to Llanview (following her initial arrival in 1978) with shocking news for Viki. The daughter of Viki's deceased childhood friend and college roommate Irene Manning Clayton, Tina had read her mother's diary and discovered that Ted Clayton had not been her father after all. Dorian's marital bequeathing from Victor is frozen when Tina uncovers that Victor had once married Irene; with no record of a divorce, Dorian's marriage to Victor is declared invalid (it is later revealed in the series narrative that Victor had indeed divorced Irene several years before his marriage to Dorian, making his marriage to Dorian legal). Soon, Tina discovers a secret room underneath the Llanfair library-study, in which she finds Nazi-plundered paintings from World War II and a letter written to Viki in which Victor admits to his affair with Irene and siring of his previously-unacknowledged daughter, Tina.

Famous quotes containing the word truth:
“It is commonly said, and more particularly by Lord Shaftesbury, that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it. A truth learned in a certain light, and attacked in certain words, by men of wit and humour, may, and often doth, become ridiculous, at least so far, that the truth is only remembered and repeated for the sake of the ridicule.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
