One True Loves

When Emma and Jesse wake up the next morning, they find that they are snowed in. While they shower, he asks her why she left Los Angeles, and is surprised to hear that she moved back after just two months of his disappearance, because she needed to be with her family. She reflects on the life she built after Jesse, with Sam and their cats, and misses it. Emma suddenly feels sad, and dissolves into tears when Jesse asks her how she’s doing. They discuss Sam, and Jesse bristles when he discovers that he is the same Sam from high school.

The mood shifts, and the couple finally confronts their situation. Emma notes that things are complicated even as Jesse insists they aren’t. He explodes in anger, accusing Emma of giving up on him, to which Emma retorts that everyone believed he was dead. Jesse rejects Emma’s claim that she’s always loved him by pointing out her engagement. Emma finally addresses how they don’t know each other anymore—she’s changed and is a different person now, whom Jesse has no interest in learning about or even accepting.

Emma points out that Jesse has also changed, and that it’s not possible to go back to the way things were.
