Does anybody else think that Jack and Rebecca...


were divorced when Jack died? I don't know, I just think that since this show likes to throw us curve balls that this might be a good possibility.

reply

Better not happen that way. Just sayin'

reply

I've mentioned that before ... definitely think they were divorced when it went down

reply

nice though it could be that Rebecca was getting independent with the "singing" career

Make yourself happy before you’re going to make anyone else happy!

that's definitely a possibility; Though she stood with the children and wore the necklace at his funeral. ( that doesn't preclude the possibility, but makes it seem somewhat unlikely ~~~ Could I possibly be more wish-washy?)

reply

She may have out of sympathy. You do separate, but it doesn't mean you definitely despise each other and wouldn't be sad about it at all. Especially to be there for your children.

reply

Rebecca still wears that moon necklace though, years after he died. Doesn't seem like something she'd do if she divorced him.

reply

She could've stopped wearing it after they divorced and then started wearing it again after he died. Sort of a remembrance or tribute or whatever.

I was thinking that at the start of the most recent episode. However, the way the episode transgressed, I changed my mind. Obviously Miguel is divorcing, so they set him up to be single. And based on the age of the children in this episode and how they appeared in the funeral scene, I'd say it is pretty close to the time when Jack dies.

reply

Yes. I'm really fearing what we're going to learn about how she and Miguel got together. I get a bad vibe from him! Even when he was married and they were all good friends. I also found it very hard to believe when he told Jack he wasn't messing around with his secretary! I call BS!!!!

reply

I don't think so. I keep hearing about curve balls, but I really haven't seen that kind of curve.

In the kingdom of the blind, you're the village idiot.

reply

I don't know... I don't think so. This last episode was pretty close to the time Jack dies (since the kids were teens at the funeral)... so I don't think they are going to have enough time to get divorced.

Maybe they were just separated, but not technically divorced. Maybe Jack moves out or something like that and then something happens...

But I actually prefer to think of them as still married when Jack dies. Maybe they go through a rough spell, and then end up being back together, stronger than ever. And then something happens.

I think she is out on tour with the band when he dies. There will be some sort of resentment from the kids that he was alone when he died.
