Call to Adventure:
Jack and Parm were “called” (recruited) into the Insiders adventure by Bill and Ed, and as a consequence, can help the Coffey brothers.

Crossing the Threshold:
Jack and Parm do undergo something of a rite, when they are shown Mac’s bullet-riddled car. Is it a warning (*abandon hope, all ye who enter here.”)

Tests:
Jack’s surveillance task at the warehouse, and his “sting” operation on Ted represent major trials for him. The pressure of these gets to him at one point, when he breaks down emotionally before Parm visits.

Helpers:
Parm is Jack’s sidekick throughout “Owe Nothing”.

Climax/The Final Battle:
This is the critical moment in the hero’s journey in which there is often a final battle with a monster,wizard,or warrior which facilitates the particular resolution of the adventure.

Return:
In one of the final chapters, after undergoing the stress and excitement of his adventures, Jack sits and has a long talk with his Dad. While revealing little of how involved he was, he discusses his role and his future.

Elixir:
The confidence, and some of the equipment, that Jack gained from doing the “Insiders” spy work, helped him to succeed in his operation against Ted Coffey.

Home:
Part of the denouement in the final chapter is the irony that although Jack has been able to help Bill/Ed and the Coffey brothers, he still is unsure about how he can help himself.
