So too Spelling exhorts the storm to convey moral outrage at Success' near-fall from grace, her illicit flirtation and affair with Failure demanding divine response. The Thunderbolts of Zeus accent the climax, outlining Success' angst and pathos in stark contrast to Failure's peaceful slumber. He has nothing to lose, Success may lose it all. The dual symbolism of Hope and Marital Fidelity both console and castigate Success in a bittersweet union of emotion. Success abandons Failure, yet the demonic lure of his temptations continues with Success' messianic wandering in the emotional desert.
Conscience is an idealist.
Spelling's offhand hint is that Conscience's parents, like several other sets of Melrose Place parents, symbolize the Past and Tradition. Conscience must appeal to Tradition and the Past, yet he is not comfortable with this action. Organization is acceptable in moderation, yet the extreme level depicted in this plot served to disrupt Everywoman's life. The chaotic aftermath is indicative of the overwhelming pressure for Organization and its result. Life does not always come neatly wrapped up.
