Quite possible.  However, after Q got sentenced, what information could Jacqui have?  Her subsequent court battle with Pearl?

So the watch broke the love that Jacquelyn for Q
Did Pearl and Jacquelyn was under the use of the Pink clound?
Pearl try take the love away from her mother

It's was Jacquelyn night to have Adrian and it's becane a threeson in her own bed.

Yummy.  Caitlyn is adorable when she's being submissive.

Wow.  I totally forgot it was Jacqui's night.  The link to Q appears to be based on Pink Clouds.  Or at least reinforced by it.

A question I hadn't thought to ask.  What exactly is Yates' conveniently absent wife studying at Wilmot?  Is she another chemist or physicist?

183 has what you seek.

In the field.  What field where, researching what?  Could she come back with a mystical artifact to further upset the applecart?  Is she really into open relationships, or is Yates B.S.ing as married men in wandering eyes and faraway wives have been known to do?

I've yet to see concrete proof that Q is capable of more than lust and deviousness.  And, if he really loved Jacqui, why was he allowing Pearl's infatuation to progress and sporting with Annie and who knows who else.

Seems like he knew he had a good thing and he manipulated the situation to get it.  Also, Q might be the most cunning chemist in town, but he might be the least scholastically bright.  He couldn't get into Wilmot back in the day and we've seen no indication that the chemistry program (undergrad and postgrad) has dropped off since '83.

I think Jacqui means the harem, but she could be referring to any of the combinations you list.  Seems like Adrian took her remark to mean the harem based on his response.

I'm not challenging that archaeologists spend time literally in fields, but it makes a difference if she's in Morocco, or Egypt, or Peru, or China, or somewhere in New Hampshire studying Pre-Columbian tribal habits.

Loving someone wouldn't prevent him from being a shark in business or unscrupulous scientifically, but one would presume that if he actually loved Jacqui, he would

1. Have taken steps to nurture that relationship when he had it instead of sabotaging it on multiple fronts and
2. would be using his power and access to win her back instead of trying to build up some kind of petty empire.  I accept that he has feelings of lust and possessiveness for Jacqui, a long memory, and a reason to carry several grudges.  I haven't seen real evidence of genuine affection.  I stand ready to be corrected on that score, but I don't see it at the moment.

My guess would be that her feelings for Q were reinforced by him using Pink Clouds on her. When he wasn't there to keep reinforcing them, they faded.

Another possibility is that Rain did something.  She's the one who told Jacqui that Q was out of jail and living in Kearsage, and Jacqui certainly has a strong emotional response to her.  Suppose that Rain proved to Jacqui that her feelings for Q were artificial but couldn't remove them.

I've been wondering about Jacqui's origins.  Could mother-daughter tension on an epic scale run in the Ravella line?

I can see Rain intervening, but we know Rain is nudging and directing behind the scenes now and we don't really have knowledge of what she can and would do or why she might do the things she's capable of doing.
