Jack's parts were good, it started out okay - arguably not as good as they could have been, but that's entirely how the scene was written; and Matt Ashford really made what they gave him as good as it possibly could be.
The rest is pretty much what I was expecting, lots of dumb exposition and flashback. I mean, Christ, how often does someone actually say "oh, such and such thing happened one year ago"?
I'm barely 20 minutes in, but I had to come and comment on the absolutely asinine stupidity of them actually trying to pass Xander off as the father of Sarah's baby. It seemed so obvious the way they kept teasing it out and making it seem like all the cards were on the table and Eric knew he was the father, right up to the last second - and I'll give them some credit for finessing it better than some other fake outs, but I questioned it the whole time and the moment she mentioned her going to "daddy" that it wasn't going to be Eric. And sure enough, Xander apparently apparated from wherever Nicole's office is and materialize in the Kiriakis living room....
I mean, why the hell would they bother with that sort of subterfuge once the pregnancy out? What's the point? What possibly motivation does Sarah have in this? We know what Nicole's motivation was, but come on.
