He wants to take Jen to a meeting at St Luke's at 6 am and involve Maggie. Jen is miffed about the meeting. Lucas convinces her. She eventually agrees. In four hours. Meantime they will face her demons together ... Jen is huddled on the sofa with Lucas, and he asks what she feels. Shame. He argues this was all the result of her car accident. She sighs Carly had the same problem. Lucas notes she did not judge her so she should judge not herself so harshly. Jen calls him wise. Lucas suggests she sleep. He is staying and will quietly clean up. Jen lies down and shuts her eyes. She imagines Abigail coming home to her drugged up mother who was supposed to watch Thomas. The baby was found crawling around the driveway. Abigail came to say goodbye cos Jen is not here the way she needed her, she cries. Abigail yells where were you and holds up her pill bottle. She blames her problem for where JJ is too. Jen wonders where he is. Jen is soon standing in a jail cell waiting - with her trusted pill bottle on the table. Here comes prisoner JJ, who wants her to share. He is here for ten years for possession. Jen implores her son not to throw his life away. He taunts too late and a guard says it is time to go. JJ vanishes into thin air. Jen does not want her son in prison. The serious guard is JACK. He suggests she already put herself in prison. Jack looks as elegant and intelligent as the day he lost his life ... Jen is sleeping a stressed sleep as Lucas calls for family reinforcements ... Dream Jen declares she is not locked up. Jack suggests she is locked away from life. When did she last laugh or dare to live the way they did once upon a time. Jen and Jack flashback to a ring on her finger in the middle of nowhere and their following cold adventure in the snow ... Jack smiles what happened to the tough girl who had all the fun there was to be had in the world. Jen cries she died when he did and he took her with him! Jack gets wistful. Jack and Jennifer were and are a soap fairytale. Jack now explains dying was not his idea and he did come home for good before it happened. Jen points out she had to raise their kids. But they were poised to live Act 2 of their great story and be smart about it! He smiles they were together at last. Alas it did not last long. Then death took him. Jen is grateful for their good months. He says she deserved years. She says you too. He asks about the house. Jen notes her grandparents' house is now empty, the kids are grown and gone and he is gone. She feels alone. He wisely replies in the end we all are but she does have company. Jen wonders why he is here. Cos he knows the Jennifer Rose he knew is still in there somewhere. He urges her to seize the day again, for she is free! She can be the author of her own book of life ... He makes her giggle but then she feels tired and wants a pill. Jack warns those do not help they wear you out. Let the family help you they are all there ... Jen whimpers and wakes up on the sofa. Doug, Julie and Lucas are there for her rough night. Three hours until the meeting. They will stay as long as she needs them. Jen announces she would like to go to bed, feeling fatigued.

She falls and finds a bottle under the bed. Doug and Julie are downstairs with Lucas. Jen gets some pills out but Julie comes back and wants her to hand them over. Jen cries nooooo. Julie says the worst is over and reaches for the bottle. Jen smacks her, then breaks down. She sobs she is sorry and Julie hugs her, assuring her it is alright. Time passes slowly.
