In Llanview, Marcy thought she would be safe from the loan sharks who still wanted her because instead of paying her debt with the stolen securities, she had actually gambled them away. She began a new life as a secretary for Victoria Lord Riley at her family newspaper The Banner. However, Marcy was recognized by mobster Stan Perlo. Perlo made a deal with her. If she would become an informant for the mob, getting confidential police information, her gambling debts would be cancelled. Marcy secretly listened to private conversations at the newspaper and passed on information about an attempt to stop the local drug trade, which resulted in local cop Vinnie Wolek being shot. Horrified at Marcy’s selfishness, Tom wanted to go to Victor Lord and confess everything about his past and Marcy. Before Tom could act, Stan Perlo, in a failed attempt to kill Vinnie’s girlfriend Millie Parks, held her and Marcy hostage. Tom tried to save them, but he and Stan killed one another in a shootout. After Tom’s death, Marcy became pathologically obsessed with Steve Burke, editor of The Banner. Steve and Viki had fallen in love and planned to be married. Through her roommate Carla Gray, Marcy learned of Viki’s previous psychiatric history, which included a case of split personality. Marcy researched Viki’s history in The Banner archives and devised an intricate plot to get her rival out of the way. She began drugging Viki’s coffee with barbiturates, and while she was unconscious, donned a blonde wig and pretended to be Niki Smith, Viki’s former split personality. Soon Viki began to doubt her own sanity, creating conflict in her upcoming wedding to Steve. In the final stage of her plan, Marcy set a trap for Vinnie Wolek. She intended to lure him to the docks outside Ernie’s Bar, and dressed as Niki would kill him, leaving behind a confession signed as Niki Smith. With Viki either arrested or sent to an asylum, she would be free to have Steve all to herself. The meticulous plan went awry when Vinnie told Steve about the meeting on the docks. Steve went in Vinnie’s place, and when he came face to face with Marcy dressed as Niki, he knew she had been the mastermind behind the scheme to drive Viki mad. The two struggled over the gun Marcy brought to kill Vinnie, and she was shot and killed herself.[8][9]
