Aboard a yacht in the middle of a lake, Patty claimed she had been reformed and was there to help Jack heal. Jack tried to charm Patty into taking him ashore, but she admitted she wasn’t the one in charge. Patty explained that an unknown party had given her a large sum of money to watch over him. Jack assumed Victor had hired Patty. Jack consented to a passionate kiss with Patty to get a tour of the yacht, and he realized there was no crew or means of communication.
