They refuse to believe Kevin when he says the fire was started by Jana, his ex-girlfriend, who set him up. Colleen is put on a respirator due to her oxygen level, and J.T. sits with her many times, admitting to her how much he loves her and how he will never stop. He becomes engaged to Victoria. At the time, Victoria was expecting a baby that may be either J.T. 's child or the child of her estranged husband, and Colleen 's father, Brad Carlton.
