I don't know if I'd go so far as to call Jack an asshole…not yet anyway. There may be details to the issue we're not seeing, and he feels he is INDEED acting in the best interest of his family and a childhood friend.

For now, I'll just settle for calling him a dumbass.

I do believe I'm in the "work-him-over-with-a-2×4 camp" on this one.  His wife is barely holding it together and pulls THAT?  At least have an alternate activity to do with your wife when you want to keep her from something.  I mean EVERY bastardly jerk knows that one!  That is after all what he's up to, he has an interest in keeping her from seeing whatever he's working on.  If I had to pull a why out of the hat I'd say it involves that Fateful Night and an act that might make us less then pleased with him.

He better watch himself if he keeps this up.  There happens to be a dashing, eyepatch wearing fellow with a chivalrous streak that's MOSTLY sane running about.  He might have some strong words about the situation.

Just to clarify, the current consensus is that Jack should have said:

"Sure honey, pop on over to the office for a bit. I need help verifying that the loving, doting father who raised you single handed, and provided me with the job that supplies all of our income and pays for the very expensive medical treatments our daughter is currently receiving is actually a Demonic Cult leader who regularly practices human sacrifice when he isn't busy running the biggest crime ring on the East Coast.

"Oh yeah, and there might be something here about the fact that your mom didn't die in childbirth, but was a horrid monster from beneath the sea.

"Be careful on your way over though, because anyone who can't be blackmailed into silence is killed, and I'm not the kind to let this go. And could you pick up sandwiches on your way, I haven't had a chance to eat yet."

I find no one has mentioned that Chrissy doesn't seem to have much trust in her husband in this matter. I'll grant that HE could stand to read a couple stories to his comatose daughter, but what exactly makes Christmas jump to some worst-case-scenario just because he wouldn't let her help him out? Okay, she senses he's hiding something, and has a right to be angry about that. But isn't there some confidentiality deal between lawyers and their clients that would prevent her from involvement anyway?

It all pertains to whatever information Jack is holding for Gage. If it's that he could be/is Becka's father, that begs the question "How would that affect Chrissy?" If it has to do with the EOD, then does Snow believe that Philliboyd would bring harm to his own daughter to protect his cult?

Maybe…just maybe…Jackson sees what's coming, and is sacrificing being with his family to protect them.

So, lining them up, because I'll not be D-bag enough to reply to 4 separate posts.

My Mouseover on this one just says Snowfall2.

Now we 'Things we won't say' volume 2:

"Not really Mrs. Snow. The night you had my mom arrested for murder, your daughter coerced my best friend into luring me into the country so three football players could rape me. Did you know they're all dead now?"

And as to who's driving the bus, it's a bit irrelevant, as the most likely scenarios that don't involve it was Misty all along mean she's either left a submissive victim of prolonged psychological torture, or a sociopath who never experienced normal childhood development. But having met a few of the pampered gifted of the broken home in my time, the girl doesn't fall to far from the mark.
