To get more on Jerrie’s (temporary?)

JESSE JAMES KEITEL:No, no, I don’t.
It opens up a lot of wounds that she has really let callus over.
Going back home for her isoddly, it’s embarrassing.
It’s kind of heartbreaking just knowing how her family has treated her.
She’s giving them a lot of grace in very Jerrie fashion to make amends and to say goodbye.
How much is it costing her to make this choice and go?
She’s finally at a place in her life where she has stability, even more than stability.
She’s accomplishing career goals that she never even knew she had.
She’s on the pursuit of Ronald and getting closer and closer and closer.
Things happen when you least expect them.
This reunion with her father and prospective reunion with her mother is incredibly fraught.
I love my parents.
I have got a great relationship with them.
But that doesn’t mean things have always been super-smooth and simple.
So for Jerrie, a part of that scene felt a little bit like a coming-out.
She had to tell her dad how he fed up.
He was not there.
I was kidnapped and he knew about it.
I was rescued and he knew about it and did nothing.
Until you needed something for me.
You need me to come home.
And that’s to absolve your guilt.
That’s not to make me feel better.
That’s for you.
And Jerrie sees right through it.
She’s a great judge of character.
She asks Mark if they could’ve ever been together, and he kisses her in response.
I mean, listen, the proof is in the pudding.
The chemistry was there between the two of them from the start.
I think that’s really true for Jerrie.
Music has always been a career choice for her and something she aspired to.
A lot of the writing last season and early this season seemed focused on pairing off Mark and Cassie.
Were you pleasantly surprised to see this spark between him and Jerrie?
No, because I think it was there from the start.
Savvy viewers with a good eye could definitely see there was chemistry between them from the start.
Listen, life loves to throw curveballs our way.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
Life isn’t cut and dry.
Jerrie’s still got a lot of work left to do at Dewell and Hoyt.
I don’t think she’s going anywhere anytime soon… except to go see her parents.
How much is Jerrie still wanting to catch Ronald even though she’s taking this detour?
She’s really changed.
Jerrie was definitely such a horse girl.
That’s what I’d want to do.
Do you have a favorite memory on the show?
Me and Kylie Bunbury were filming an overnight with Janina Gavankar, and we were all just really tired.
We were filming out at that construction site.
And instead she went, “Hey, you’re Huckleberry Finn.”
I have not laughed that hard.
It was such a silly, funny, fleeting moment that was just so joyful and lovely.
