Both Jake and Leo professed their love for Greenlee, causing her to have to decide which man she truly wanted. Erica gave Greenlee her job back at Enchantment.

Mia asked Jake out on a date after he helped her when a Christmas tree fell on her. Greenlee and Leo continued their dance, each believing that the other was madly in love with them.
