Jesse found out that Angie had given birth and went to be with her at the hospital but he was too late, Angie had reluctantly given the baby up for adoption. Jesse and Angie kidnapped the baby and fled to Center City where they were again married by a justice of the peace.
Yvonne Caldwell, Jesse's singing partner, lied when she claimed she was having Jesse's baby. After admitting to Angie that Jesse wasn't the father, she decided to sell the child to a baby-selling ring. Jesse went undercover to find the leader of the black market baby-selling ring, only do discover that it was his father-in-law -- Angie's father, Les Baxter. Jesse set up a meeting with Les and, during a struggle, Les fell down a stairwell to his death. Angered by Jesse's deception, Angie left him.

Tad vowed to keep Jesse's secret, but when Jesse tried to leave town he was beat up pretty badly by a mugger and he had to be rushed to Pine Valley Hospital. He was able to remain out of sight of his former wife, Angie, who had been called back to Pine Valley to consult on Frankie and Greenlee Smythe's mysterious illnesses.
