Agree to disagree.Well zackjack177 is not completely wrong. He is way off the mark with the MC as we have a lot of exposition about him and is fairly consistent character (we know why the whoring around etc.). On the other side we have a gap on Jaye's side because on the span of time between George booking the flights and she landing, she is now hoping for the MC to stand up for her and she is no longer dismissive of him. It is in fact an abrupt change, we know based on the dialogue that she now wants to repair their relation but we still lack that eureka moment so to speak that made her reconsider. I suspect Tara may have smacked some sense into her but we have not being given the few lines of exposition to explain it (shit Avaron1974 now I have to go back and replay to make sure, damn I may have to learn to keep quiet).
[edit]
Does the cameo in LoF adds something to this topic?
To me, the "eureka moment" was when Jaye realized MC was blocked on her phone. Everything out of her after that was aimed at reconciliation, if the MC chooses to embrace her efforts.
1) She texts him within what I am guessing is a day or so in Aspen and abjectly apologizes for coming at MC after erroneously thinking he'd both missed the funeral and failed to try to stay in contact (because she discovered he was blocked in her end.)
2) She calls him on the slopes and is on the verge of asking to come out and visit MC when his boss interrupts them and has him rush off to help his wife and daughter at the cabin.
3) She tries to arrange a meet-up with MC when he lands back in Boston, which he turns down only to show up in front of George's office with another woman kissing him.
She has a moment of jealousy there, which seems ENTIRELY understandable if he passed up an opportunity to reconnect after their parents died.
A second eureka moment is her admission that she's lived with five years of guilt for thinking her outburst at the party is why MC left home.
Her behavior has been entirely consistent from the time she called him in Sicily. If she changed, it was in the five years between the party and their parents' deaths. I often wonder if people are playing the same game I am, or just skimming.
