...and then Eli enters the man's office. Jordan wearily asks, "Suing God now, are we, Eli?" Eli laughs uncomfortably and tries to play the whole thing off, but Jordan tells him that's not why he summoned him -- Taylor told him about the end of the engagement. Eli looks defeated and apprehensive, but Jordan tells him he's not angry with him; in fact, he wants to be sure that he didn't influence that decision. Eli starts to ask if that's what Taylor told him, and Jordan confesses that she didn't give any specifics. Jordan looks a perfect blend of worried and curious here, and Victor Garber has really been doing a great job conveying his mixed feelings toward Eli. Eli looks a little lost as he tells Jordan how great Taylor is, and that he's sorry it didn't work out, but the reason is personal. Jordan understandably does not look thrilled with this explanation, as it sounds a little capricious, and he dismisses Eli more brusquely than is his usual style. Eli spares a glance back as he exits...

...and outside, he passes a vision of Jake back in the hospital gown. Another one approaches him and starts to sing "Good Lovin'," and soon there are dozens of Jakes doing a big musical number. Eli gets into it and runs down the stairs to the lobby, and a bunch of the Jakes pick him up and twirl him around. The running down the stairs suggests Eli has some control of his actions, but the part where he gets picked up contraindicates that, so I'm just going to assume that he doesn't, to avoid wanting to kill him for being so stupid all the time. Seriously, though, this is a bothersome part of the show -- his being a lawyer seems to be necessary to fulfill his missions, yet the way the visions affect his day-to-day life threatens (or at least should) his position. It's a problem. Anyway, when the vision abruptly ends, Eli's standing on a table with lots of people watching him, and he steps down sheepishly.
