While initially proud of Tom's accomplishment, she feels ambivalent about the public's perception of her and her relationship with him. Faced with opportunistic reporter Dan Lubrano, Jeanne must decide whether to exploit her relationship for fame and fortune or to maintain the integrity of her love.
