It was like she was doing a deep dive on a ghost—no social media, no jobs, no birth records; could he really be her uncle Jerry Jacks (formerly Sebastian Roché) after all?
Key Takeaways
- Josslyn’s investigation reveals no trace of Jude’s past
- Jude could be using an alias to hide his real identity
- Jerry Jacks has changed his name and appearance before
- Jude’s comments to Alexis raise more suspicions
- Could Jude actually be Jerry Jacks in disguise?
An Alias Has No Past
Everyone knows that an alias has no past—trying to trace them is like tracing a fictional person.
Josslyn so far has only done online research; however, she’s not looked for fingerprints.
More than likely, she has looked in the WSB criminal databases, although she may or may not be able to access Interpol or the Australian law enforcement entities.
Her current WSB boss, Acting WSB Station Chief William Baines (Alimi Ballard), has strongly warned her not to go rogue—although as yet, she still doesn’t know what or who she’s looking for in JJE.
However, that has never stopped Josslyn before—she pretty much does what she wants if she thinks there’s a good reason to do so.
Like when she caused a power outage to be able to get into Wyndemere during a blizzard!
“Jude” Dropped A Hint He’s Jerry To Alexis Davis
Jerry changed his face and his name at least twice in the past, and not even his brother recognized him—and what Jasper “Jax” Jacks (formerly Ingo Rademacher) did know of him wasn’t good.
But if Jerry changed himself to Jude, Jax never caught on to it—he told Josslyn that he gave him a chance, but he did something unforgivable.
It’s odd that Josslyn can find no criminal records, and literally no history on the man—no birth certificates and no driver’s licenses.
Yet, Jude dropped a big hint to Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) when he said Jerry referred him to her and that he said hello!
He dropped another hint when thinking about “Jane”—as in Jane Jacks (Barbara Tarbuck)—as a one-night stand alias grossed him out for Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud)!
When Will The Truth Come Out?
Josslyn will continue to investigate Jude and won’t stop until she can find all the truth there is to find—but when will the truth come out that there is no Jude, and Jerry has fooled everyone again?
She deduced correctly that he wants the company, and anything else he feels like should be his—and he’s not going to share.
In the past, Jerry didn’t hurt family, including Josslyn, but he could have changed in all the years he was on the run.
Still, no one knows where Jerry is, and maybe that’s because he’s become Jude!
Annemarie’s Take
Jude having no traceable past is certainly suspicious, especially considering Jerry’s history of changing his identity!
I’m not convinced Jude is who he claims to be, and I hope Josslyn keeps digging until she finds out the truth.
Could Jerry really be hiding in plain sight, or is Jude keeping an entirely different secret?
