1983 (#10) - Jack's revelations to Jill and Patty's violent reaction to them
After the miscarriage immediately, Patty is released from the hospital and goes home to Jack with the firm intention of starting a new phase of her marriage. So Patty decides, despite Jack's perplexity that he doesn't consider it necessary since he now understands how the woman is important to him and what his marriage represents, to start dating an analyst. The goal is to make up for all the misunderstandings and mistakes of the past, to put everything behind him and open up to the future with new joy and enthusiasm. As time goes by, everything seems to be going well and the woman seems to be able to regain her husband's smile and love. On the day of her first wedding anniversary, a milestone also celebrated by Mary and Carl who finally decide to stop fighting with Jack, Patty confides to her husband that she wants to have a baby and to be ready for a new pregnancy. Patty thinks nothing can go wrong with her relationship with Jack at this point. However, one morning Patty's world collapses irretrievably when she overhears her husband on the phone making an appointment for a vasectomy that would make him infertile and, immediately afterwards, confiding to Jill that she only married Patty to get her wedding gift from her father, the presidency of Jabot. Patty is shocked and incredulous to hear her husband's words. Suddenly, all of Patty's hopes, certainty, and beliefs fade into thin air, destroyed by her husband's few words. Blinded by anger and unable to reflect on her actions, a hysterical Patty, completely in shock, confronts Jack in a furious argument. And when Jack tries to explain his reasons in the office, the woman pulls out a small-caliber gun she has bought and shoots her husband three times. The man, caught with two shots to the legs, is immediately taken to the hospital by Jill and John, who can't believe who might have shot Jack. Fortunately, Jack is out of danger, although the doctors are doubtful that he will be able to walk again.
