), who brings along her boyfriend, who turns out to be Guy Ellisman. Janice soon finds herself at risk of telling her family about her affair.
In the end, everything comes to a head at a lighthouse, when Guy attempts to kill Ross by shooting him, then chases Janice up to the top of the lighthouse, trying to claim that Ross died in an accidental shooting and that they can finally be together, and tries to rape her again. Sharon, having discovered Guy's true nature, attempts to stop him by taking his gun and revealing to Janice that Guy shot Ross on purpose, causing Guy to attack her, throw the gun away, and violently push her down to the ground. Having now been exposed for attempting to kill Ross in front of Janice, Guy begs Janice to not hate him, only for Janice to angrily push him off the lighthouse tower, sending a screaming Guy falling to his death. Janice and Sharon then reach Ross, who is still alive, and the reunited family wait for medical officials to help, leaving Guy's corpse behind.
