Afterward, JJ tells Pope about the incident, which profoundly upsets him. He confesses he is still in love with Karia. Meanwhile, Karia reveals to JJ that she has developed feelings for him. Now, JJ faces a tough decision: Should he push Karia away to protect Pope's feelings or confess his feelings to her? The emotional stakes are high, and their friendships are on the line.
