He returned to the house to check on the bag of Damon’s money and he discovered it was gone – and Jesse confronted him about it, having realised he is the culprit.
Jesse was furious that David had let him be blamed for stealing the money. David pleaded with him not to tell Gail, reminding him that he had the power to influence Sarah and Nick’s opinion of him.
Back at the hospital, while Gail was drowsy from the painkillers, she told Jesse that her happiest memories from her life are with him in Thailand, and she asked him to marry her. Jesse wanted to have this conversation when her medication had worn off, and Gail was left disappointed.
