They've both been deeply affected by the events that occurred on New Year's Eve, and now, following their continued poor decisions, Eric (Greg Vaughan) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) will make another and make love to one another on Days of Our Lives.

Eric's drinking got out of control last year after he both lost Nicole (Arianne Zucker) to Daniel, and came across Serena's dead body in the park, and New Year's Eve proved to be the culmination of his problem going too far when he drove drunk and caused the accident that injured Jennifer, nearly killed Brady (Eric Martsolf), and did kill Daniel. Since then, he's been drinking again after realizing how much his actions have hurt those who were once closer to him, and Jennifer has become addicted to her pain pills from the back problems she's had since the accident.

Now, Eric is about to learn what his fate will be when it comes to the criminal charges he has been facing since the accident—and the news will be devastating for him when he learns he is not only going to jail, but it will be for at least a few years. And, after learning his fate, he will decide to do perhaps his most reckless thing yet and seek out time alone with Jennifer, who he already had an ill-advised and ill-fated kiss with—one she did not remember.

But, since she is still getting high off her drugs on a constant basis, she will again be receptive to his arrival. When the two lament over their shared pain, the moment could lead to one where they wind up even closer than before—and what could start as another kiss will quickly lead to more, as the two will wind up making love.

Of course, besides the fact that they're both under the influence and would have never let things get this far if they were sober, the timing is off for the two to try and have a romantic connection, since Eric will soon be headed to jail.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
