Rewatching Knots Landing

I'm wondering if the writing was mentioning when Gary/Abby separated in season 5 after Gary uncovered Abby's initial lies about Lotus Point? I remember after she was kidnapped and rescued at the start of season 6, the two decided to reunite and start over while he let Cathy down. So at the end of season 7, this was the second divorce proceeding that was starting.. not that they actually divorced, but were going to split.

Abby and Gary get remarried?

They didn't. They haven't got divorced at this point. They split up over Wolfbridge for a while, but didn't make it legal.

I remember something about Gary saying (about the upcoming divorce) "This isn't the 1950s, Abby" and then she says "But it'll feel like it!" strongly suggesting that it's going to be trashy and melodramatic courtroom battle.
