Felicia was perplexed when Jake refused to make up with his sister, and also rejected Felicia's sexual advances. It was soon revealed that Jake had been molested
as a child. He angrily confronted his father, whom he believed to have been responsible for the abuse, but it was then discovered that the real perpetrator was Jake's uncle, Charlie (Chuck Walling).
Jake and Felicia were happy for a while, but were split up when Jake had an affair with Macy Alexander

On November 14, 2007, Jake returned to the canvas, and was working for the Forresters as a lighting-technician. He helped organize the infamous fashion show where Stephanie Forrester was shot. Jake briefly came between his ex flame, Donna Logan and Eric Forrester's relationship, as well as trying to woo back Feleicia briefly in the Summer of 2008. After a while back in town, Jake decided to leave town again in March 2009, not before saying goodbye to the Forrester Family, Felicia, and Donna.
