Season 4 Episode 14
"Pride and Prejudice"
When Jake opened the door and saw Lily, he didn't know what to say. He had never really thought about what he was doing, and seeing Lily made he think about that. But that uncomfortable feeling lasted only for a few seconds. Lily said, "Hello, Jake." Jake tried to smile and said, "Hi, Lil." Silence. Jake sat on the side of Lily's bed, and, still trying to act like everything was normal, said, "So, you wanted to see me?"
Soliloquy Lily is smiling sadly. "He doesn't change."
"Yes, Jake. I want to know why you're doing this." She asked, seriously. Jake stuttered, surprised by Lily hostile tone, "I, I, just thought... this would be better for you, to take this responsibility from you and from Rick." He answered. Lily, however, doesn't seem to believe him. "Jake, I've known you for over twenty years." She looks directly into his eyes, which makes Jake feel extremely uncomfortable. "Lil, please. I don't want you to think I'm against you." Jake says, holding Lily's hand. "Jake, I know you're not against me. But you think we're against you." The look on Jake's eyes change. Lily goes on. "Jake, no one is going to take your place in this family." Jake asks, smiling, "We're still a family?" Lily chuckles, "Yes, I guess. In an odd and unusual way." Jake laughs at this, and says, "Thank God, you finally smiled." But Lily pretended she didn't hear that, and says, "Jake, I'm not giving the girls to you. I'm fine now." Jake gets serious again. "Yes, I know, and I couldn't be happier." Pause. "But you still have a long road ahead of you. And don't forget you're pregnant." Lily shakes her head. "Jake, if you want to go on with this, it's your choice. I'm just telling you I'm going to fight until the end." Jake gets up and walks around the room angrily. "Lil, you've been here for two months. You don't know what's happening out there." He says. "Then tell me what's happening!" Lily demands, almost yelling. Jake runs near her bed and put his hands on her arms. "Lily, please. You shouldn't get very emotional." Lily faces him, "I have no idea about what you were talking about, but if there's something wrong, I have the right to know." Jake sighs, and thinks he'd better leave. "I just want to take care of my family. I have this right." They exchange another look before Jake leaves.
Soliloquy Jake looks very nervous. "Yes, she's right. I was afraid I had lost my place in this family. Actually, I still am." Pause. "I just want to make it clear that I'm Grace and Zoe's Dad."
A little later, Karen is arriving at Katie's house. Since she got no phone calls from Jessie, she decided to show up at Katie's. It was obvious the girl knew something. Jessie wouldn't run away without telling Katie where she was going. When Katie's mother opened the door and saw Karen there, she was very surprised. "Mrs. Sammler! What a surprise! What brings you here?" She asks, as she leads Karen in. "Not good things, Mrs. Singer." Karen said seriously. "What's the problem? Something wrong with Jessie?" Katie's mom asked, worried. "Jessie ran away from home yesterday. And I'm almost sure she's here." Mrs. Singer said, surprised, "Oh, my God. This is serious. But I don't think she's here." Karen doesn't give up. "Are you sure?" Mrs. Singer chuckles at this. "I would know if someone was on my house," She says, but then suddenly stops smiling, "Unless..." She remembered how Katie had made the basement her territory. "Follow me, Mrs. Sammler."
They go down until they find the basement door, which is locked. "Katie, open this door." Mrs. Singer demands. Inside, Katie and Jessie froze. There was no way out. They tried to stay quiet, hoping they'd give up, but it didn't happen. Katie walked slowly to the door and unlocked it. When she opened it, Karen immediately entered the room as she saw Jessie there. "Jessie! How could you do this to me!" She yells. "Mom, what did you want me to do? Stay there and prove that you don't care about my feelings?" Jessie is almost crying. Karen is taken aback to hear that. She needs a moment to react. "Jessie, what did you expect? You tell me that you're lesbian and that you're dating Katie, and you expect me to react like it's normal?" At this point, Karen is interrupted by Mrs. Singer, who asks, shocked, "What? My daughter is not a lesbian!" "Sorry, Mom, but I'm love with Jessie!" Katie yells to her mom. "This is insane. I would like you two to leave my house." Mrs. Singer says to Jessie and Karen. "And you, young lady, you stay here." She says to Katie. "I think we need to talk about this," Karen tries to say as she and Jessie are almost pushed outside by Mrs. Singer. "I'd appreciate if you'd keep your daughter away from my Katie." She says and then closes the door.
Out in the street, Karen and Jessie look at each other. Karen has tears in her eyes. "Jessie, I'm sorry. But I can't accept this." Jessie is crushed. "Mom, I.." Jessie begins, but Karen interrupts her. "Get in the car. We're going right now to talk to your father. And we'll decide what we're going to do about this." Jessie has no other choice but to do what her mother tells her.
