Though Matt tries to hide the truth from Ann, she soon learns that Jack has become a self-pitying alcoholic, who insists that he is no good to anyone. A chance for redemption comes when Ann is accosted by town bully Hank Groat (Guinn Williams)...but a happy ending may not be in the cards, no matter how much Matt hopes that things will turn out for the best.
