Rafe demands to know what Eric’s intentions are, as Jada enters. She’s just there to get her stuff. Rafe asks if she needs help because she shouldn’t be lifting heavy boxes. Jada rails at Eric for telling her boss about her body. She shouts that he can have Nicole because she wants nothing to do with him ever again. Eric points out it’s not just her anymore, so they’re in this together. Rafe leaves them to it.

Eric declares he’ll support Jada no matter what she decides to do. Her body, her choice. Jada is surprised to hear him say that. Eric points out he left the priesthood twice, so he can’t make any dogmatic demands. However, he did always want a child. So, if she decides to have the baby, she can count on his support — financially and in any other way she wants. Where does that leave him and Nicole, she asks.
