Additional Comments:
Last week when Janet was on the phone with Jack, she urged Jack to come home because his family needed him and then rattled off her name and Liberty's name and that was it...I was kind of shocked. Then at the end of the week, Carly has the exact same speech with Jack before the idiot endangers his life and the lives of other racers by racing Mike's car. When Carly listed his family, she was careful to name EVERYONE including Janet and Liberty.
Everyone here knows how I loathe and detest this character and THIS is why. I think that the writers intend to let Janet continue to think of Parker, Sage and JJ as Jack's "other family" rather than simply Jack's family. She's already forbidden Parker to come to the farm house where his father lives and she's pretty much forgotten all about Sage and JJ when she talks about Jack's family needing him. Sorry, but that kind of omission is glaring.
I really hope this issue is addressed and soon.

Message: and all you see that lives at the farm these days is Jug and Lib. Hopefully when Holden moves back in, he will remind Jugs whose farm it is.

Message: What's completely weird about Jan's 'tude is that before Brad's death, she barely remembered Libby had a father---and now she's all about getting Jack to consider her child "his family". Yeah, I know Lib's his niece, but Lib made it clear before the wedding that she wasn't going to think of Jack as anything more than Jan's husband.
I find it odd---but with Jan somehow predictable. She is so insular, so used to thinking of her and Lib first, she just can't process the fact Jack has other people who love and need him.
I think Carly even managed to say Katie and Jacob needed him.
