Jenna is joyfully spending her first X-Mas with her "family" when Roger shows up demanding to speak with her. She leaves with him to avaoid a scene and he drops the bombshell on her that Henry isn't her father, that an inventor names Clyde Wynant is. A devastated and angry Jenna accusses him of lying as Roger goes on in detail with paperwork at hand and tells her how Spaulding stole her father's invention to build it's company and cheated him and her out of the money, and that Henry lied to her just to cover it all up. Jenna still disbelieving decides just to test Henry. She asks him about her mother and Henry says she's very like her, the same lovely face and eyes... Jenna is stricken, her mother's eyes were brown, not blue like hers. She realizes Henry never knew her mother, that it's all been a hideous lie and runs crying from the house. Roger follows her but she's angry with him for smashing her dreams on X-Mas for no other reason than spite that she left him. Roger argues he only did it because he cares for her and couldn't stand to see her cheated and lied to. Meanwhile Henry breaks down over causing Jenna so much pain and likens himself to foolish Lear as he recites Shakespeare in the blowing wind. As Jenna clings on to Roger vowing revenge, Henry holds Vanessa in self loathing and fear for Jenna. |
