Part 4, Chapter 20 Summary: “Jen Weinstein”

By not responding to Jason’s text messages, Jen has effectively ended her affair with him. At this point, Sam still doesn’t know that Jen’s affair was with Jason. The idea of losing Sam almost makes Jen’s heart stop. Jason has been moping around, but she doesn’t miss him at all—which has always been the case with her lovers. She is sure that Lauren is having an affair with Robert and probably wouldn’t care about Jason’s affair anyway.

Rachel is angry that Jen and Lauren have beat her and Emily in their tennis match, and afterward, Jen sees Rachel take Sam into the tennis storage hut. Jen follows and interrupts them, but it is too late. Rachel has already told Sam about Jen and Jason’s affair. Sam walks out of the hut, goes straight to Lauren, and tells her that he knows. Then he walks away. Jen texts Jason to warn him that Sam has found out about their affair. Realizing the extent of the damage she has caused, Rachel regrets her action almost immediately.
