I wonder what will happen if you set that date but don't make it.
Jade's probably going to be pretty pissed, but it could be salvageable. If we get a scene where she wants to speak to the MC about standing her up, we could have the option to lie and say he got forced into doing pledge stuff and couldn't get away, sort of like what happened with his "date" with Bella. Also, the MC doesn't have her number so he couldn't call her and tell her either, and not to mention the disruption that Cathy's picture caused.
It's a fairly believable lie and she might give him another chance, hopefully one that isn't tied to a major decision or important scene.
