It's good that we finally disagree about something...
I don't think it would be very realistic if she was still with him... If they broke up before he left, I want to know how. She could say it to Eric or mention it in the conversation with Jake when they see each other in the first episode. If they are still together, I want them to brake up as soon as possible... And I want to see it.
That's kinda what I meant, lol. For continuity the issue has to be addressed - Jake can't just vanish. That wouldn't be realistic at all. I don't want them to be together for the majority of the season, but maybe for the first episode or so, otherwise it just screams of a quick-fix. I want to see plot and character development.
