Home and Away teenager Jett James will leave Marilyn Chambers and John Palmer heartbroken when he has second thoughts about being adopted.
Jett (Will McDonald) delighted the newlyweds when he announced that he wanted them to adopt him during a moving speech at their wedding reception.
However, Jett will suddenly have doubts about being adopted into the Palmer family, and when Marilyn buys him a skateboard to welcome him into the fold, it is clear something is very wrong.
John later finds Jett sitting on a bench dedicated to his former wife Gina, who died on the day they were supposed to adopt Jett last year.

With their appointment in court looming, John desperately tries to persuade Jett that the adoption is for the best, but Jett refuses to get in the car.
Shane Withington, who plays John, said to TV Week: "Things don't go very smoothly - they never do in Summer Bay.
"It is the place where troubled kids come to find themselves and get sorted out - or not sorted out."
