Character Profile: Elaine, Jake, and Amparo

A Quick Clarification.

First, a small correction: I previously mentioned that Jake knew about Elaine’s wealth beforehand. That was an error—he actually didn't discover she had money until after they tied the knot.

Meet Elaine: The Brains and the Fire.

Elaine is a woman of striking contrasts. While her high IQ and ability to master new skills are her greatest assets, she is a woman of few words—unless she’s with her close friend, Amparo.

• The Professional: As a psychologist, she is the portrait of restraint and composure.
• The Person: Outside of work, she is incredibly kind-hearted and would literally give you the coat off her back.
• The Warning: She possesses a legendary "Texas temper." If you cross the line, you’ll regret it. Jake has learned the hard way on many occasions that making Elaine mad is a losing game.

Meet Amparo: The Quiet Warrior.

Amparo is generally laid-back and easygoing, but don’t let the calm exterior fool you.

• Background: A former US Navy SEAL, she is a master of tactical training and self-defense with a black belt to match.
• The Trigger: If you threaten her or her family, the "kid gloves" come off immediately. (You might remember the episode where she had to defend herself—she handled it with clinical precision.)

The Current State of Affairs.

Jake and Elaine are the definition of an "Odd Couple." Elaine thrives on order, while Jake is disorganized, lazy, and perpetually relaxed.Their marriage recently survived a nasty clash, and while Jake managed to smooth things over, the peace is fragile. The household is about to be rocked by a new wave of turmoil:

1. Pregnancy Fears: Elaine is absolutely terrified of the prospect of being pregnant.
2. Bad News: She has just received a cryptic and troubling update from San Antonio.

Jake is officially reaching his breaking point. The storm is coming—stay tuned.
