December 1976

Jack moved in with the Ryans while he recuperates, but proved to be a pain, especially when he discovered Mary had gone on a trip with Alex. Dee agreed to divorce Frank after Jill has her illegitimate child. Dee confessed to Bobby she's using Roger to win Pat. Dee and Roger made plans to sail for Europe. Bucky encouraged Faith to pursue Pat. Jill's having complications in her pregnancy. Bobby insisted Frank's first concern should be Dee's welfare. Maeve smoothed things out between an irritated Jack and John. Seneca added up the months and realized that Frank can't possibly be the father of Jill's baby. Despite her promise to Maeve, Dee ran off with Roger and left a note asking that no one try to stop her. Jack, suspicious of Dee's motives, found the letter. He grew sour when Ryan sister Kathleen arrived with her brood for the holidays. At the last minute, Pat convinced Dee not to sail to Europe with Roger. Jill and Seneca made a pact not to reveal the paternity of her child until after it is born. Johnny let the cat out of the bag and told Jack that Mary is carrying the only child Jack may be capable of fathering. Pat returned with Dee from Boston but felt guilty for being intimate with her. New Year's Eve at Ryan's Bar was a singing and boozing affair.

Paul is put off by seeing an understanding Dorian change into a "dragon lady."
