With the mousy Lucy now gone, she proceeded to have an affair with Bobbie Spencer's then-husband, Jake Meyer, with whom she miscarried a child. In the wake of her affair, Lucy was set up by her aunt Charlene with Tony Jones (Brad Maule), which resulted in a wedding.

After Dominique died, Lucy gave birth to their daughter, Serena, in a cabin during a blizzard. After being pressured by the mob, Scott was forced to flee Port Charles with Serena. Lucy returned to a her scheming ways, albeit temporarily, and made a bet with Damian Smith that he could not bed Bobbie.
