Tune in as Jaret and Gary fire up the mics and invite their pal Tom Higgenson to the show. As the frontman of the Plain White T’s, the drummer of TLB, and the founder of an independent record label, he’s what being a rockstar dad is all about.

But the big reveal, as the episode progresses, is Claire is not the only one who has had relations outside her and Frank’s marriage. The years have also passed for Jamie. He has become a leader among the prisoners at Ardsmuir Prison when a new governor Lord John Grey arrives. Grey wants to continue… Read more »
