Ellie to Gage: I think this is the first time you’ve ever mentioned not loving every little thing about acting.
Gage to Ellie: Yeah, well, it’s more than making out with hot girls. Still wouldn’t change it for the world. Speaking of careers, have you had The Talk with Marjorie?
Ellie to Gage: I did, actually. It went exactly like you said it would. Marjorie hugged me, said my happiness was the most important thing, and that we’d figure it out. She thinks her sister might be interested in taking over my side of the business.
Gage to Ellie: Which would free you up to…?
Ellie to Gage: I dunno yet. I’m soul-searching, Hollywood. Don’t rush me.
Gage to Ellie: Right, sorry.
Ellie to Gage: Gage?
Gage to Ellie: What’s up?
Ellie to Gage: Does your girlfriend/wife (however the finale worked out) know we talk?
Ellie to Gage: Hello?
Gage to Ellie: No.
Ellie to Gage: I’m still not watching…but when I was buying Ben & Jerry’s at the store, I saw a story about the show on the cover of a tabloid. Only Ivy, Paisley, and Brooklyn left.
Gage to Ellie: What kind of ice cream?
Ellie to Gage: You’re changing the subject.
Gage to Ellie: Yup.
Invitation Ceremony #14
TEN WEEKS LATER, DURING THE AIRING OF EPISODE 14 OF JILTED
Dear Ivy—
You are cordially invited to celebrate the wedding of Gage Barrett and his future bride on Saturday, May 21, at two o’clock in the afternoon. Dinner and dancing to follow.

The Runaway Groom on why he jilted Ivy: “Ivy’s sweet and will make some guy very happy, but I’m not that guy….Why not? Thought that’d be obvious by now, Adam. I do want to spend the rest of my life with a contestant, but it’s not Ivy. She’s great, but I’m in love with someone else.”

Text message from Gage to Ellie: Wrapped up the last shot today. Headed back to the States on a red-eye tonight.
Ellie to Gage: Just in time for the finale.
Gage to Ellie: Yeah. You gonna watch?
Ellie to Gage: Nope. I can’t. But my mom spilled the beans about Ivy going home, and I will say that with Paisley and Brooklyn, you did good. Either one will make you very happy.
Gage to Ellie: That’s what you want? Me to be happy?
Ellie to Gage: Of course. I mean that, Gage.
Gage to Ellie: You ever regret it? Leaving like you did?
Ellie to Gage: Do YOU regret letting me leave?
