[edit]

Tracy returns in 2003 with a teenage Dillon (Scott Clifton). Tracy has discovered that Skye Chandler (Robin Christopher) is not Alan's illegitimate daughter after all and tries to blackmail her. Instead, Skye calls Tracy's bluff and confesses everything leading to Tracy being shunned from the family once again leaving Dillon behind. Tracy resurfaces in 2004 when Dillon is arrested and bails him out but Dillon is not too welcoming to his mother. In the summer of 2004, Tracy is devastated by Lila's death and lashes out her family before having a heart to heart with Alan. Tracy, with Alan's support, schemes with Jasper Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) to steal control of the company by proving that her son Ned is corrupt and that Edward is mentally incompetent. However, Edward foils Tracy's plans with the help of Skye and Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary). Tracy later learns Luke has planted $15 million in her bank account which he planned to use to bail Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) out of extradition. When Tracy refuses to give him the money, Luke and Dillon lead Tracy to believe he and his girlfriend Georgie Jones (Lindze Letherman) have eloped in Las Vegas. Tracy arrives in Vegas believing she is too late and gets drunk allowing Luke to trick her into marriage. In early 2006, Tracy reluctantly stands up at Dillon and Georgie's real wedding. The marriage quickly falls apart due to Dillon's affair with Luke's daughter Lulu (Julie Marie Berman) -- which Tracy disapproves of. When Lulu gets pregnant, Tracy advises her against an abortion and discusses her own regret about a previous terminated pregnancy. Though she seems to want out of the marriage, Tracy begins falling for Luke and is very jealous when he reunites with his ex-wife Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) who has briefly awakens from a coma. Tracy sits by when Luke and Laura remarry and even tries to stop the wedding. Tracy confides in Luke her relief when Lulu terminates the pregnancy fearing Dillon is too young to be a father. The family is devastated by Alan sudden death in February 2007. However, Alan's ghost begins haunting Tracy serving as her conscience. As Tracy and Luke start to fall in love, Dillon and Lulu discover evidence that Luke's longtime rival, Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) -- not Laura is responsible for the 2002 murder of Laura's father Rick Webber (Chris Robinson). However, Dillon and Tracy agree to keep the secret from Luke fearing what how he will react. Meanwhile, Tracy's growing motherly affection for Lulu and her conversations with the deceased Alan lead to Edward having her committed to a mental hospital. Tracy later discovers that Lulu's new love interest Logan Hayes (Josh Duhon) is Scott's illegitimate son and forbids her from seeing him. When Tracy threatens to bankrupt the company, Edward reluctantly releases her so she can help keep Lulu away from Logan.
