Allie Begs For Forgiveness When Chanel Finds Her With Alex — and Jennifer Won’t Cave to Gwen’s Blackmail

At the Horton House, Jennifer refuses to give Xander and Gwen the paper. Gwen reminds her she got high, hit her with her car, and drove off. Jennifer urges her to call the cops because she has it coming. As Jack tries to talk Jennifer down, he points out the terrible things Gwen has done — namely to Sarah. When Jennifer snarks that Xander didn’t exactly trade up, Gwen lunges for her. Xander pulls her back, and Gwen call Rafe. Jack rips the phone from her hand and tells her she can have the paper.

Jennifer implores Jack not to do this, but Jack won’t risk her freedom. Jennifer thanks him and then asks Gwen if she’s happy. She’s finally made Jack suffer. Jack joins their sniping, leading Xander to put a stop to it. They could be there all day throwing past indiscretions in each other’s faces, but it’s not constructive. As he leads Gwen out, she stops and calls to her dad. Jack orders her to never call him that again.
