Show opens with Travis still standing near Jack & Jenn's house window spying on Jennifer in the kitchen.  Travis flashes back to his fight, from the previous episode, with Stefano.  Flashback then ends....
 

Travis [quietly, to himself] -- I can't see Jack.  He must be upstairs.
 

[Jack is sitting up in his hammock, looking at Travis.  He looks very confused and his eyes are squinting so he can get a better look]
 

Jack [shouts] -- Hey Travis!  Is that you?
 

[Travis looks incredibly shocked and quickly turns around.  Scene ends.]
 

[Next scene, there's a knock at Jenn's door and she runs from the kitchen to answer it.  It's Hope.  Jennifer greets Hope with a hug and invites her in.  Hope looks upset.  Jennifer asks her why.  Hope says she just got her hope's up when she saw Bo at John and Marlena's wedding and thought there might be a chance for her with him.  But then as soon as the wedding was called off, Bo ran right back to Rome.  Hope says she can't figure out why Bo is acting this way.  Jennifer agrees saying she thought Bo was just married to Billie because of Bo's undercover work.  Hope thinks maybe Bo fell in love with Billie while working undercover with her to bust up King's drug ring.  Then Hope tells Jennifer about the fortune teller Hope met in Rome who told Hope that there would be tremendous pain for "one of us (Bo, Hope or Billie)" very soon.  Hope figures the fortune teller meant her (Hope).  Scene ends, and the next scene shows Billie lying in bed, all doped up from the heroine.  She is having nightmares.  Obviously, the fortune teller was referring to Billie.]
 

Next scene, is Jack in the backyard.
 

Jack [shouts] -- Travis!  Is that you?
 

[Travis takes off.  Jack runs after him]
 

Jack -- Hey!  Come back here!  Come back!
 

[Jennifer runs outside with Hope to see what all the commotion's about.]
 

Jennifer -- Jack!
 

Jack -- Someone was just back here.  He just ran off.
 

Jennifer -- A prowler?
 

Jack [sounds very confused] -- It looked like Travis.
 

Jennifer -- Your ex-cellmate?!
 

Jack -- Yeah, I know it sounds crazy.  But I've gotta go find him.
 

[Jack runs away to search for Travis.  Hope and Jennifer follow after him.  Travis is now hiding behind one of the bushes in Jack & Jennifer's backyard.  He looks like he's playing 'hide and go seek' with them ;-)]
 

Travis [to himself] -- If Jack finds me, I'm a goner.
 

[Scene ends.]
 

Next scene, Jack, Jennifer and Hope are back in the yard again.]
 

Jennifer -- Jack, there's no sign of anyone.
 

Jack [adamantly] -- I saw him!
 

Hope --  Listen, if we split up, we can cover more area faster.  You go that way.  I'll go up here.
 

[They split up and continue their search for Travis.  Jack walks near Travis, who's hiding behind the bush.  But Jack doesn't notice him.  Travis waits until the coast is clear and quietly gets up to leave.  Jennifer suddenly shows up in front of him]
 

Jennifer [smiling and looks pleasantly surprised] -- Trent!  What are you doing here?
 

Travis looks completely shocked.  Scene ends.
 

Jennifer -- What are you doing here, Trent?
 

Travis [at a loss for words, and is looking around to make sure Jack isn't about to arrive on scene] -- Well, I heard a noise and then I thought I heard you and Jack.  And then I thought something...  you know..... I was just checking to see if you were okay.
 

Jennifer -- Yeah, thanks.  Did you see anyone in the backyard?
 

Travis -- No, but.. did somebody break into the house?
 

Jennifer -- I don't know.  Jack thought he saw his ex-cellmate, Travis Malloy but it's impossible because that guy's in prison.  And even if he were out, why would he run away from Jack, right?
 

Travis -- I don't know.  That's strange.
 

[Jack calls out for Jennifer in the distance.  Travis turns his head quickly and looks incredibly nervous.  He desperately wants to leave before Jack arrives in the backyard and sees him there]
 

Jennifer [shouts to Jack] -- I'm in the backyard!
 

Travis [very quickly] -- Look, if you've got everything under control, I'm actually waiting for a call.  So I'll see you later.
 

[He begins to walk away]
 

Jennifer [trying to stop him from leaving]  -- Well, uh, Trent.. I want you to, uh, meet Jack.
 

[Travis continues to walk away]
 

Travis -- Yeah, yeah.  I'll meet him later.
 

[Travis exits the yard.  As if on cue, Jack walks right into the yard with Hope right after Travis has left.]
 

Jack -- Were you talking to someone?
 

Jennifer -- Uh... our neighbour.
 

Jack -- Did you see him?
 

Jennifer -- No, um.. he was right here.  If somebody was here, he would have noticed.
 

[Travis is eavesdropping on Jack & Jennifer's conversation from behind the fence.  He takes a deep breath clearly relieved that Jack didn't discover him in the yard.  BTW, it's good to know that Jack & Jennifer couldn't have put two and two together to figure out that Jennifer's neighbour is Travis.   LOL!  Very realistic ;-)]
 

Jack --  Well, the man I saw looked like Travis.  But something about him looked different.
 

Jennifer -- Well, Jack, we were talking about Travis before you fell asleep.  Maybe you were dreaming.
 

Jack -- Maybe...
 

[Abby screams from inside the house,  "Daddy!!"  Jack excuses himself and gives Jennifer a quick kiss on the lips and leaves the yard.  Jennifer watches Jack leave with a smile on her face.  Hope notices Jennifer's smile]
 

Hope -- Happy, aren't you?
 

Jennifer -- It's amazing.  I feel like our relationship has hit a whole new level.
 

Hope -- Think you'll marry him again?
 

Jennifer -- Well, he hasn't proposed but I know that's what he wants.  So do I.
 

[Hope smiles and nods her head]
 

Jennifer -- And he has to wait until after the appeal goes through to commit to anything.  You know Grandma always says that true love never dies.  And I know our love will never die.  I think we're going to be together forever.
 

[Hope listens and looks upset.  She's obviously thinking about her love for Bo and how much she missses him.  She forces a smile.  Jennifer notices.]
 

Jennifer -- Oh, Hope, I'm sorry..
 

Hope -- No, no.  It's okay.  I am happy for you.  And for Jack.
 

Jennifer -- I just wish that you and Bo...
 

Hope -- No, no.  Don't.  Don't.  We're finished.  It's over.  And I need to face that.  And I realize it.  Bo's with Billie.  His life is with her.  It's time for me to start over.
 

[Scene ends.  Next scene has Jack tucking Abby into bed.]
 

Jack -- It's alright, sweetheart.  You just had a bad dream.  Mommy and I are here for you.
 

Abby -- Are you and Mommy going to get married?
 

Jack -- Well, I sure hope so.  I love you and your Mommy more than anything.  If it does happen, I want you to take part in it.  You can have a dress like Mommy.  You can carry flowers just like Mommy.  We'll have [Jack stares off, thinking about the possibility of a future life with Jennifer]  We'll have this whole church.. just just filled with flowers.  All your favorites.
 

[Jack looks at Abby and she's asleep.  He kisses her on the forehead and gets up to leave the room.  As he's standing at the doorway he stares at his daughter and takes a deep breath]
 

Jack -- Please, God, don't let me go back to prison again.  Please just let us be a family again.
 

[Jack leaves the room.  Next scene is with Hope and Jennifer still talking in the backyard]
 

Jennifer -- If Jack and I can get back together after everything that's happened between us, I know there's still a chance for you and Bo...
 

Hope -- No, Jenn.  Come on.  I have wasted so much time holding on to a dream that's never going to happen.  And it's not fair to Sean D.
 

Jennifer -- Sean D. is always going to want you and Bo to be together.
 

Hope -- I know.  I can't give him false hope.  Set him up again and again and again to get hurt.
 

Jennifer -- I just can't imagine you and Bo not being together.
 

Hope -- I'm going to start looking for a place for me and Sean D. to live.   A real nice place.  Maybe the neighbourhood where some of his friends live.  I don't know.
 

[Travis has now arrived in the yard]
 

Jennifer -- Hi, Trent!
 

Travis -- Is Jack here?
 

Jennifer -- He's upstairs with Abby.  This is my cousin, Hope.
 

[Travis shakes her hand and greets her]
 

Travis -- I just wanted to, uh, check and make sure everything was okay.  Did you ever see anyone in the yard?
 

Jennifer -- No.  We didn't.  I think Jack was just dreaming, actually.
 

[Travis smiles, clearly proud that he was able to dupe Jennifer]
 

Travis -- Yeah, maybe.  I mean, I didn't see anybody either.
 

[Scene ends]
 

Travis -- Jenn, I just wanted to make sure everything was okay.
 

Jennifer [smiles] -- Well thanks.
 

Hope -- You know, Jenn says that you're really a wonderful neighbour.
 

[Jack is now in the kitchen and is calling out to Jennifer who's outside in the yard.]
 

Jack -- Hey, Jenn, would you and Hope like some wine?
 

Jennifer [shouts back]  -- Yes!  Absolutely.  Would you bring an extra glass?
 

Jack -- Okay.
 

[Travis is looking at her as if he's thinking, "No way, lady!  I ain't staying!"]
 

Jennifer [smiles] -- You can stay and meet Jack and have some wine, right?
 

Travis -- No.   No thanks.  I mean, I don't want to intrude.  But you know what -- I'll meet Jack later.
 

[Travis leaves again.  Jennifer and Hope look at each other, clearly confused over why Travis is so hesitant to stay and meet Jack.  Hello!!!  Figure it out!  How could they not even think Travis is Trent???  This show is so annoying!!!]
 

[Jack walks outside with the wine glasses]
 

Jack [smiles and jokes] --  Who needs two glasses?
 

Jennifer -- Well, Trent was here.  I invited him to stay.  But he had to leave.
 

Jack -- Oh...
 

[Hope notices Jack is looking elsewhere]
 

Hope -- Do you see something?
 

Jack -- No,  no.  I just can't shake this feeling that Travis was here.
 

Jennifer -- He's in prison somewhere, Jack.  There's no way he could have been here tonight.
 

[Jack doesn't answer back.  He looks like he has his doubts about Jennifer's beliefs.  He begins to pour them a glass of wine.  Travis is now spying on them from behind the bushes, near the hammock.]
 

Travis [thinks to himself]  -- Yeah, you're right to be suspicious, Jack.  I'm not in prison.  I'm living right next door to you.  But you'll never know.  Because then Stefano's plan would be ruined.
 

[Jack is making a toast]
 

Jack [smiling] -- Well.. to friends and family.
 

[They clink their glasses together to complete the toast]
 

Hope [smiles] -- I'm really happy for you two.
 

[Jack and Jennifer look at each other and smile.  They walk towards Hope to stand close to her.]
 

Hope [smiling] -- What?
 

Jack [smiling back]  -- We hope you're going to be happy too again, Hope.
 

Hope smiles back and says "yeah".  End of episode.
