1983 (#5) - Carl's anger and Patty's abortion

Discovering Jack's cheating is Jill, who surprises him and Diane without him noticing. Patty, meanwhile, informs Jill, with whom she wants to be friends, of her pregnancy, and announces that she wants to inform Jack of the news immediately; and sneakily, Jill, happy to seize the opportunity to get in Jack's way, who has so much obstructed her marriage, encourages Patty to join Jack in the office that very night, well aware that at that moment the man is with Diane. Patty's shock at seeing Diane undressing her husband leads her to run away in tears upset and stumble over a vase in the hallway under the perplexed eyes of Carl, working at the company, who doesn't have time to help her. Only minutes later, when he sees Diane coming out of Jack's office, Carl understands what his daughter must have seen; and angry, he promises to make Jack pay the man. Later, when the man returns home, a desperate Patty tries to tell her husband to carry her child, but the visibly drunk man ignores his wife's words and, claiming to be tired from work, goes to sleep. The next day, as Patty receives a visit from Ashley, she begins to experience severe abdominal pain, most likely associated with the fall the day before. It is to Ashley, aware of the pregnancy, that she fully understands the situation and calls for help. Upon arriving at the hospital, Jack immediately asks for information about his wife, and when the nurse says that they are doing everything possible to save the baby, Jack appears incredulous and only now, stunned, understands what his wife was trying to tell him the night before. Despite the doctors' efforts, Patty is sadly forced to lose the baby. When a mortified Jack enters Patty's room and asks why she hadn't told him before, she admits she saw him with Diane. Jack thus realizes that he has hurt his wife and asks her for forgiveness, promising that from that moment on she will be the only one at the center of his thoughts. Patty, despite everything still in love with Jack, decides to forgive him, despite Carl is increasingly angry with the man.
