When Theresa overdosed, J.J. called Daniel, and the way Daniel handled the situation made J.J. realize Daniel wasn't such a bad guy after all. Daniel even lied and told Jennifer that he was with Theresa when she OD'd, so J.J. wouldn't go to jail for breaking his parole. Unfortunately, this also caused Jennifer to think Daniel and Theresa were having an affair, and she broke up with him. J.J. realized he was wrong about Daniel after learning what he had sacrificed to protect him. He also decided to swear off drugs, but Theresa had recorded a video of J.J. being there the night she OD'd, and used to it to blackmail J.J. into buying drugs for her.

From then on, the two of them would hook up on several isolated occasions. When Jennifer finally found out, she blasted both of them. Paige is currently unaware of this, but she may find out soon enough. J.J starts working undercover and investigates drugs and Clyde Weston.

He confronts Clyde on the docks pretending to give him ideas about how to sell drugs but is actually setting him up to be arrested. J.J. joined the Salem PD, and started dating Gabi Hernandez. When Abby is presumed dead in a plane crash, J.J. ends up having a one night stand, and then admits it to Gabi, who is devastated. Gabi decides to give J.J. Another chance, but breaks up with him again when she hears he is keeping another secret. Gabi assumes J.J. cheated on her again, but the secret J.J. Was keeping was that Abby was alive and hiding in the attic of Jennifer's house.
