After a long struggle, James finally stopped. However, he was still upset with what he had seen and heard.
James had to postpone his dinner plans with Abby and arrived home later than expected due to an extended meeting.
James, however, was unaware that Abby would ultimately go out with Marcus, his lone rival.
Though James agreed to Abby's friendship with Marcus, he knew the man had some motive behind it rather than just a friendship and an informant.
He attempted to explain to Abby why he detested Marcus, but she just dismissed his theories about Marcus's continued love for her.
James was unhappy since she refused to believe him, and he did not follow up much, questioning whether his suspicions about Marcus were accurate. But it was evident that James was correct tonight when he heard him declare his love for Abby.
While Marcus's actions shocked Abby more than anything, she was unable to render him unconscious.
