When
Jimmy and Jackie decided to spend a romantic night together, Jackie
felt guilty about what happened between her and Shelley and decided
to tell Jimmy all about the one sided love affair. Jimmy was a bit
shocked at first but after Jackie explained how she felt lonely and
that Shelley just provided a shoulder to cry on, he understood how
she must have felt. Jimmy felt responsible for making Jackie so depressed
in the first place. However when Lindsey returned, she was angry with
Jackie for telling Jimmy and soon gave him her version of the relationship
between Jackie and Shelley. Jimmy was devastated when Lindsey told
him that Shelley was in love with Jackie before they shared a bed
together. After listening to Lindsey Jimmy confronted Jackie, but
during the exchange of harsh words Jackie said it's been very hard
for her living with a loony. Jackie immediately regretted her outburst
as Jimmy dashed outside and started throwing things around. Lindsey
managed to calm Jimmy down after reassuring him that he wasn't going
mad. Jackie apologized for calling Jimmy a loony but was shocked when
he accused her of adultery.
