Some repeats of the closing scenes from yesterday. There is a confrontation between Kate and Jennifer, as they happen upon each other in the bench area. Jennifer lets her rage out on Kate, who keeps saying she doesn't want to have the conversation and tries to walk away. Kate says the thing with Jack was one night only and they've stayed away from each other since. Jennifer reminds her she is an investigative reporter and she'll find out if there was anything more and if so, Kate will be in big trouble! She also says she saw Kate and Jack talking only five minutes earlier.
Jack is dejected as he enters the Pub and begins to cautiously open up to Roman about what happened at the party. Abby is at JJ's door and wants to see her mom, needs to apologize. Mom not there so Abby comes in and talks it over with JJ. Chad and Jake at the garage. Jake kiddingly tells Chad not to rag on him. This time he has a screwdriver in his hand. No, Chad wants to talk about how Jake lied about calling Mr. Shin. Wants to know what Jake and Gwen were really talking about and why was he lying, what is he up to?
Gwen goes to the prison and visits Dr. Rolf. Rolf didn't expect to see her again. They go through the past, how she did a little favor for Rolf in exchange for his silence about her plans. She's now there to thank him and update him on her latest plans to destroy Abigail's life. He does his evil laugh, in approval. Jennifer wonders to Kate why she and Jack were just now talking--was she planning to move in for the kill. Emotional hurt in Jennifer's voice and expression. Kate assures her she was only telling Jack how sorry she was for how she hurt Jennifer, and she has no interest in her husband. Jennifer replies, "Really? The way you had no interest in my father?" Abby tells JJ she doesn't remember anything except for drinking with her meds. Doesn't know why she started or kept drinking. Chad told her how Gwen tried to get her to stop. She wishes she had listened to her. At the garage Jake remembers (flashbacks) what happened with Kate, and how Gwen found out about it, as Chad says never mind, he'll go ask Gwen. Jake calls him back.
Gwen explains in detail how she pulled off humiliating Jack and Jennifer and used Abby to do it, filling her drink glass again and again. Rolf laughs and says Gwen is quite impressed with herself. Yes, she is quite pleased and now on to phase 2. Now that Abby's parents' marriage is in the dump, she's going to work on her and she knows just how she's going to do it.
Meanwhile, Abby is still mulling over everything with JJ, says she thinks about her time in rehab and wonders if the same thing could have happened to her and Chad if she'd been there longer. She feels awful for how she brought out the truth about Jack and Kate in the worst possible way. JJ reassures her it wasn't her fault, it was their dad's. They go back and forth with how there was no good way to find out and no matter what, Abby knows how she did it wasn't right and she will live with that for the rest of her life.
Jack is still explaining the details of the dreadful evening to Roman. Drama, as he leads up to telling of his night with Kate and the letter he wrote. But Roman guesses it was a fling with Kate, before Jack manages to tell. More of Jennifer accusing Kate of tearing her family apart when her mother had mental illness. Kate says she has news for her--that family was torn apart long before she came on the scene. Jennifer says her marriage to Jack was far from over when she preyed on him. Kate says fine, if it makes her feel better to think that, but she can assure her Jack's heart was completely into everything they were doing, along with the rest of his body! It didn't come as a surprise that Jennifer slugged Kate in the face at that point. Uh oh, Kate didn't know Jennifer had that in her. Says, I think you scratched me, maybe with your wedding ring--how ironic. She wonders if she can take it as well as she gives it. Yeah, Kate gives Jennifer a hard smack in the face. Jennifer looks stunned.
Jack is also stunned, that Roman knew all along about him and Kate. Roman didn't know for sure but suspected. He was a cop, notices things, had watched him and Kate daily, then a letter came there for Kate with Jack's return address on it. (What?? Who would put their return address on a letter like that)? Jack assures Roman it was only one night and they didn't see each other again after that. More of JJ and Abby, same stuff. He continues to try to reassure her.
Gwen and Rolf continue their conversation, which seems designed to fill in for anyone who may not have been watching the show up to this point. She tells Rolf when she got Abigail drunk, the one thing she didn't count on was Abigail falling asleep in Jake's lap but Gwen made sure to take advantage of the situation. She tells him of how upset Chad had been over his wife's "thing" with Jake's twin brother, how it's something Chad will never get over, and how Jake looks identical to his twin brother. It wouldn't take much for Chad to lose his ever-loving mind over it.
As Jake and Chad continue to argue, Mr. Shin's son, Li Shin, arrives on the scene. Jake and Chad continue to argue in front of him, like a couple of young siblings trying to explain a troublesome issue to their parents--each blaming the other for the problem. Shin makes some good facial expressions while enduring all this, then says he actually has come to his own decision about Jake's involvement in the company and was thinking about it before he got there.
Gwen tries to explain to Rolf how she's going to make Chad think Abigail is having an affair with Jake, by letting him know Jake is sleeping with some woman in the house, which he will assume is Abigail. Rolf is slow at understanding. Gwen says he may be a genius but not so much in affairs of the heart (my words but along those lines). Clearly not part of his expertise. She explains more and says she will be right there to comfort Chad.
Now Li Shin tells that the board would like Chad to remain the sole CEO but they'd like Jake to assume the role of Vice President. Jake is happy and says he accepts so long as he has the chance to climb the ladder. Chad is obviously not happy but tells Shin he accepts because he has no choice. Shin leaves. Chad tells Jake not to gloat. He leaves, telling Jake he's going to go pop some corn so he can watch Jake implode.
Abigail begins to realize having the truth come out about Jack was not such a good idea. It only made her parents miserable and she's not feeling so great herself. JJ tells her to give it time. It will be all right. Next part of the conversation between Roman and Jack is good, as Jack rants about Abigail reading the letter in front of a bunch of people. Roman reminds him she'd had a lot to drink. Jack says, yeah but she wasn't unconscious, for God's sake, a part of her had to know what she was doing. Roman agrees but comes back at him with, "Yeah, like a part of him knew what he was doing when he crawled into the sack with Kate!" A moment of clarity for Jack.
Then it switches right to Jennifer and Kate, as Kate lets Jennifer have it, talking about how high and mighty Jennifer is and how she never forgave her for what she did with her dad. She goes on explain how Jennifer's dad saved her life and points out what a good man he was and that Jack also is a good man. She goes into detail about how everyone, even Kayla had told Jack there was no hope for Jennifer to come out of the coma. He thought he saw some life in her but it never came so that night he was decimated and that's when it happened and he temporarily gave up hope and gave in to his despair but the next morning he knew it was a mistake.
She asks if Jennifer expected him to be a martyr, how long did she expect him to wait. She told her to get over herself. Jennifer seems to have turned from anger to sadness at this point, tears in her eyes. Kate gives her some more talking to and reminds her of some things in the past, telling her if she refuses to forgive him, she'd going to lose him for good this time.
Roman, likewise, encourages Jack to not give up but to fight for his marriage. Jack gets up to leave, laments that things would have been different if he'd stayed sober that night. Roman tells him he can't change the past, only try to fix what's happened. Jack goes off, encouraged. JJ has also managed to encourage Abby. As Chad is leaving the garage, he finds Abby's scarf, confronts Jake. Seems Abby came by there earlier to apologize. Chad warns him he'd better remember that he, Chad, comforts his wife, not Jake!
Kate shows up at the garage, needs to blow off some steam. Jake has a mischievous grin, as he tells her she came to the right place. There was a bit of a build-up that Gwen was about to tell Rolf why she hates Abigail so much but alas, by the next scene of the two of them, she has already told him off-screen and only says, now do you see why I hate her so much? He looks sympathetic and says he's beginning to get the picture, as he once again grins.
Chad comes home with Abby's scarf. She asks where he found it. He only said she dropped it outside. She told him she didn't get to see her mother but she cried on JJ's shoulder and he tried to encourage her. Chad wants to do the same thing. He reminds her of how her parents love each other. Now Jennifer is about to enter the Salem Inn. Jack walks up and calls her name. She turns around and gazes at him for some time. He anticipates. She finally turns and walks through the door of the inn. He looks sad and disappointed. The end.
Sorry if this seems choppy. They kept switching around to the different conversations of people discussing the events of the party but they did a good job of making it flow. It just doesn't seem that way in my telling of it.
Jack is dejected as he enters the Pub and begins to cautiously open up to Roman about what happened at the party. Abby is at JJ's door and wants to see her mom, needs to apologize.
