One day, Ray was physically assaulting Rhonda and Alan showed up at her place.
The corpse was eventually found and then-police commissioner Sean Donely (John Reilly) investigated.
After the assault, Rhonda ended up having surgery and almost died.

Once Ray’s body was found, Monica Quartermaine felt Alan was hiding something.
Quartermaine(Sean Kanan), had found one of his cufflinks at the scene of the attack.
He confronted his father about it, who confessed that he’d killed Ray.

Alan confiding to Monica about what he’d done also brought them closer as a couple.
In this case, the secret coming out and Alan potentially being put on trial for it.
Thankfully, that never happened.
