jt arrived in harmony in october 2006, hoping to extort many of its residents for money in exchange for not revealing their secrets. along with the fact that gwen and rebecca had outed ethan as a bennett and that theresa was hiding little ethan's paternity from ethan, jt also knew that pilar lopez-fitzgerald had been involved in the massacre of the vasquez family in mexico numerous years earlier and that chad was having an affair with jt's colleague, vincent clarkson; jt also apparently knew certain secrets about vincent, perhaps that he was really julian and eve's son or that he was planning to begin a reign of terror in harmony at alistair's behest.
