Blue Diamond

Episode 20

The moment of relief and contentment filled the atmosphere, as they got back to the tribe.

Arthur decided to thank Chief Sabah for his kindness by using the SPADE card to restore balance an peace. The rainforest had become more peaceful than it once was. Chief Sabah respected Arthur for taking a risk that nobody wanted to take.

Kiara was finally better and she giggled with the girls and gossip about her well being; it bothered her brother, for he couldn’t get there in time. He somehow felt like he wasn't being protective enough.

Jake on the other hand, learned to trust Arthur, only because Arthur saved his sister. It reminded him of the reasons he joined the military. He realized that Arthur was different and he could of easily trusted him. The more good Arthur did Jake was starting to have hope within him.

Jake wanted to continue trip along with Arthur and the others. He wanted to see the results of Arthur's magic. Even though Jake never believed in magic, Arthur gave him the courage to be a better person.

Even though kiara's illness was healed, the string that wraps around Arthur's risk didn't break. This made them wonder. Arthur kept thinking to himself that there was something more.

Jake and kiara wanted to help Arthur in their own way. With Arthur's permission they continued the journey with him and his friends. A bond of respect was formed with the Rivera's and Arthur.

Before leaving the rainforest, Jake thought it was necessary to confront Damon about his kind behaviour. He felt as though Damon was being very sensitive and he very much appreciated his friendship. Damon didn't accept Jake's friendship because he felt as though he couldn't trust the Rivera's. This annoyed him.

"I don't need your friendship Jake. That isn't the reason we're here."

Said Damon in a rude manner as he continued to pack a few things for the road. Jake was very surprised, he thought that maybe the circumstances would of changed Damon's mind yet it only made him question Damon's attitude.

"Then please enlighten me why are we here?"

Jake replied in a calm tone, as he looked at damon with folded arms. Damon looked at jake and he thought to himself that jake was to good of a friend to Arthur and he felt like the black sheep. He got more irritated as Jake stood there and did nothing, in a rude irritated tone damon said

"Jake I'd appreciate it if you could at least help out instead of standing there like a freaking statue."

Jake didn't feel offended and couldn't careless of what damon said but it was quite obvious that he was angry.

Damon didn’t miss the opportunity to test his patience. He decided to be sarcastic, when he said,

"Jeez what's with the uptight attitude can't you just relax?. Or you don't know what that is?"

as he slightly chuckle, he continuously kept joking around.  Jake took it as a personal hit of his personality and he got more furious than he already was.

They both found themselves in heated argument, judging each other as they both humiliated themselves. Arthur who was currently speaking to the Chief heard the silly conversation between the guys.

Arthur shook his head and he became a spectator. The girls were also bidding farewell to the indigenous tribe people, when they noticed Damon and Jake's childish behaviour. Arthur had to intervene. He tried to handle the situation calmly, but they both turn the argument towards him.

It was now two against one and the girls couldn’t careless for all of them was being immature. Damon argues with Arthur for treating him a though he was invisible.  While Jake accused him for having an affair with his sister.

This was a direct hit to Arthur's feelings, since he was still confused of his feelings. Even Kate felt as though Arthur was hiding something from her and she was determined to find out.
The argument turned into a blame game and out of anger Arthur said

“That’s why I haven’t told you anything you’re too selfish Damon!”

Jake felt as though there were more to Arthur and Damon's friendship. It wasn't the right time to discuss it yet, all three guys began to humiliate each other making the situation more personal which lead to a bigger problem.  Kiara who never actually spoke had something to say.

"STOP it all of you, this is ridiculous. You all are acting like a bunch of kids!"

Arthur started to realize that they were all being immature and it would be best if they just let it go. Whatever problem they had was to be dealt with differently. Kiara asked Damon to be nicer to Jake, since he didn't know what he went going through.

Jake decided to apologize in the most meaningful way. Arthur took charge and kindly request Jake to help out a bit more and for Damon to be a bit more patient. Damon was still upset and he felt as though Arthur wasn’t being a good friend to him. One way or the other they both  agreed with Arthur and ask him to lead the way. Everything settled and they were finally back on the road.
