1977 (#14) - Jack's selfishness and the divorce with Peggy

Things between Jack and Peggy went pretty well until the night a suspicious Stuart decides to follow his daughter, discovering with disgust that he is in front of Jack's apartment. Thinking that the man has subdued his daughter and is abusing her by exploiting her weaknesses, Stuart decides to teach Jack a lesson that night. And so when Stuart breaks into the house and attacks Jack, soon a fight breaks out between the two men. A desperate Peggy who listens scared to her father in the bathroom, unable to stand Stuart's accusations against her husband any longer, finally comes out and lashes out at her father for treating Jack unfairly. Peggy thus confesses to a shocked Stuart that she is now married and that thanks to Jack she is trying to overcome her sexual inhibitions in bed with her husband. She then accuses her father of having ruined their intimacy and, soon after, she comes back with a horrified Stuart but only to take her things and move permanently to Jack, determined to be in any way a perfect wife for the man she loves. Stuart first firmly criticizes his daughter's behavior, but then decides not to fight it anymore, realizing that his daughter has become a woman. Some time later, Peggy confesses to her father that she has consummated her marriage and has now overcome all limitations. However, the reality is different, since Peggy still has a mental block and Jack's insistence on trying to make love does not help the girl to relax. One night Jack, tired of waiting and wanting to make love to his wife, takes her by force and forces her to have a relationship against her will. Peggy, once again feeling abused, hurls herself against the man, calling him the same as Ron and, just like her brother George, as her family has repeatedly suspected. After that, Peggy takes her things and runs away. Despite Jack's objections, Peggy is unshakable and immediately starts divorce proceedings. Back at Stuart's again, Peggy is so comforted by the whole family that she admits she was wrong to trust a man like Jack.
