Answer: Criminology

Jesse got a job at PVU to be a Professor of Criminology. However, he also got an offer to be the new Pine Valley Chief of Police since the previous Chief, Derek Frye, resigned to move to Hawaii to be close to his daughter, Danielle. Jesse wanted to be Chief and Angie attempted to persuade him to be a Professor of Criminology since she recalled how Jesse "died" in 1988 as a result of his job as a police officer so she did not want him returning to that life. Eventually, Angie told Jesse to take the job as Chief of Police and Jesse did.

Answer: Lionel

This has not been mentioned much but, when Jesse first came to town in 1981, he mentioned his father, Lionel Hubbard. Frank was the name of his uncle, Dr. Frank Grant (Frank is the brother of Jesse's mother. Jesse and Angie named their son, Franklin "Frankie" Hubbard, after Jesse's Uncle Frank), Les was the first name of Angie's biological father, and Greg was after Jesse's great friend, Greg Nelson.

Answer: No

Before Jesse found his calling as a police officer, he was a co-owner of The Steam Pit. However, Angie did not ever own this establishment. Before Angie became a doctor, she volunteered at a hospital as a candy striper. This helped Angie decide that a career in medicine was what she wanted.

Answer: Laurel Banning

Jesse wanted to get Gillian to accept her fate and go to Heaven but he was not alone in helping get her to Heaven. He was aided by all of the following (as well as Travis Montgomery and Cindy Parker Chandler) except for Laurel Banning. While Laurel did die in 1996 due to a gunshot wound, she was not seen as an angel at this time to help out Gillian. Gillian eventually accepted her death and went to Heaven. Jesse's ghost stayed a little while longer to banter with Tad Martin.

Other hit songs from this album are "Mad", "Single", and "Miss Independent." Alicia Keys' song, "Like You'll Never See Me Again", was used in promos in January of 2008 to promote Jesse and Angie's return.
