Eventually, Jo got loose and ended up killing Reed in self-defense. She was picked up by the coast guard and taken into custody, but was found innocent of murder. Later, Jake took over the charter business, but used the boat as a personal place for solitude as well. After picking up Brittany Maddocks one night in the ocean, she stayed there and seduced him long enough to plant explosives on the boat. However, she was soon revealed to be working with Palmer Woodward, who was out for revenge against Jake for turning him into the F.B.I. for illegal dealings.
