Carly makes an impassioned plea to be granted the authority to take care of her husband. Jessica calls Hal, Ben, and Greta, the social worker from St. Genevieve, to testify to Jacks abnormal behavior. Later, Jack argues that although he may not remember his past, he is capable of making decisions for himself. However, the judge declares Jack incompetent and grants Carlys petition for temporary guardianship. The judge orders Jack to move back into Milltown. Later, Jack says a heartbreaking good-bye to Julia and JJ, which Carly can only watch. Back at Milltown, Jack tells Carly that his heart belongs to Julia and no judges order is going to change that. Meanwhile, an increasingly agitated Ben hurriedly signs the court papers placing him in charge of Jacks case, then rushes out into the hallway and takes more pills. Mike finds an electrocuted Jennifer and resuscitates her. He takes her back to the cottage, and sparks fly when he has to help her get out of her wet clothes. They resist the sexual tension. Later, they get very close to a kiss again, but are interrupted by a knock on the door. Paul is informed that legally ousting Barbara from BRO will require a lengthy court battle.

Paul blasts her, and vows that shell never see Will again. Later, Rick becomes suspicious when a frantic Barbara rebuffs him yet again. Later, Paul meets Jordan at Metro, and asks him if he and Worldwide would be interested in bankrolling Jennifers new company.
