first Welcome back to you and GinnaWhew! I'm finally caught up ! Went away for the weekend and had to read almost four pages!! Great discussions, everybody!:thumbsup:! I missed being here .
Honestly I have to say that I do think that Jake and Calleigh did have closure. I don't think at all that he is Calleigh's unfinished business. After STY he disappeared, going UC and like she said, there wasn't even a phone call to know of his whereabouts. Right then I do believe they were unfinished business cause he just left while they were together, no explanations. Throughout this time she did wait, probably because she had been there before and knew he would eventually appear again. Then we have 7.01. When he came back he asked her to wait for him while he had to lay low. Right then and there she was very firm on her answer: "I can't live like that". He still left and she remained firm on her answer. So for me this was closure. He left, she was moving on. I don't even think he left all that sudden. At first yes (when he dissapeared without telling her), but then in 7.01 he told her he was leaving and he did. I even think that the time he was away and she did not know where he was began her "moving on" process. Let me explain. Yes she was waiting, cause things were not resolved and I think that conversation on 7.01 was very necessary and Calleigh knew it, but at the same time I think she started realising that maybe their relationship was not going to have a happy ending. I think she grew more emotionally attached to Eric (All In, Down to the Wire) and when he came back, her mind was basically made up. It hurt her, but she knew it wasn't going anywhere. So she said it was over, he left and that's it. Plus I don't think she would've started a relationship with Eric, or anyone for that matter, if she had unfinished business with Jake.
So true! I was explaining to my husband (who doesn't watch the show but knows a lot because of my obsession) that EC went all the way back to season 1 with Wet Foot/Dry Foot with Eric asking Cal to sleep on her couch. His first response was: "but why didn't he ask Speed?" to which I answered... exactly!:lol::thumbsup:!JoannaRose
There always seemed to be something there between them. Particularly in episodes like Death Grip.. Wet Foot/Dry Foot.. Pro Per.. Hell, even Grand Prix. There are just a lot I can think of. They just don't seem to operate as just friends. There's chemistry there. Obviously.
I totally agree with you and your husband....the reason that Eric gaved that time for not asking Speed was just hilarious...:guffaw:
and yes, Cal and Jake had closure, and like i already said a couple of pages ago the fact that they gave it a fair chance and that she waited for him once and just after that she decided against doing it again is important for E/C on the long run.if they wouldn't address that it would've hanged in there like the proverbial sword. it was good, healthy way to approach it.and personally i congratulate the writers for it.
don't get me wrong...i;m not saying that all the J/C for just laid out in order to make a clean slate for E/C, because its not what i'm saying.
