1984 (#24) - The flirt between Jill and Mar and the Lindsey's pictures with Jack

John and Jill's married life is goes ahead tired. Jill, while still having feelings for John, realizes that she no longer feels attracted to him and for a short time she starts dating Marc Mergeron, with whom she gives vent to all her passion. When Christine hands Jack a large grey envelope, which someone in the Jabot car park asked her to deliver, the man cannot suspect what it contains. At the same time, at John's house, Mamie finds a mysterious identical envelope on the wrought iron fence addressed to Jill. Each of the two envelopes contains the exact same photo. The next day, Jill and Jack receive another photo respectively, as well as the next one until the final one that finally reveals Jack and Jill's faces in explicit photos on their night of passion a few months earlier. It is clear to the two then that someone has photographed them and they are about to be blackmailed. Both upset, Jack and Jill immediately realize they have reason to be very worried. Jack's attempt to attack the man who handed him the last envelope to try to find out who sent the photos was useless. Jill, completely frightened, decides to break off all relations with Marc; moreover, she suspects that the hated enemy Katherine could be behind the whole thing. But when, having decided to confront her, she realizes that Katherine knows nothing about the whole thing, Jill breathes a sigh of relief, while admitting to be wandering in the dark. At the same time, Katherine senses that something is upsetting Jill, and promises to keep her eyes and ears open. A few days later, Jack receives an album of eight photos of him and Jill from the same night, with a note that literally says, "You'll hear from me tomorrow. The next day, John introduces Lindsey Wells to Jack as the daughter of an old friend who has returned to work for them. After the meeting, taking Jack aside, Lindsey presents herself as the one who holds him and Jill in check, having her take pictures of them making love. At this point, Lindsey reminds a confused Jack that they met at a college party and couldn't forgive him after he ruined her life by leaving her just after she asked him to show her his love. Of course, Lindsey doesn't expect Jack to remember her at all, having been that insignificant experience for the boy. Now ,however, Lindsey intends to make him pay for it, expecting,in exchange for her silence, a quick and swift climb into the executive of Jabot.
