Realizing the money-making potential, Jupe begins abducting horses from a local ranch owned by Haywood Hollywood Horses and feeds them to the alien in hopes of taming it. Drawing from his experience with Gordy, Jupe was convinced he had some power over animals since Gordy did not attack him like the other cast members. Years later, he realizes the existence of an unidentified aerial phenomena lurking in the sky, which he automatically deduces is of extraterrestrial origin. He eventually settled in Agua Dulce, California, where he lived comfortably with his wife Amber, and their three children. In order to supplement his income, Jupe also curated a hidden museum showcasing memorabilia from the Gordy's Home incident, at one point being offered $50,000 by a Dutch couple to visit. Despite this, Jupe's hunger for the limelight persisted, so he opened an amusement park dubbed "Jupiter's Claim" (themed in lieu of Kid Sheriff). The incident left Jupe deeply traumatized as a survivor.Īfter the show's limited run, Jupe fell into a lack of notoriety, losing his claim to fame due to the incident that marred his reputation, thus losing his status as a child actor.

Eventually, Gordy calmed down and realized what he had done. Jupe hid underneath a table seeking refuge from the chaos. As Gordy proceeded to brutally maul the cast and crew, killing Tom Bogan and Phyllis Mayberry and brutally beating up Jupe's crush Mary Jo Elliot.
