Jake is apparently in China for the next six weeks (i.e., this season), and Courtney thinks it's quite odd that their friendship has escalated to...""something else."" Ashley is rather out of it, and tells Courtney to say ""hi"" to Jake for her. Courtney then commits an anachronism by telling Ashley that Jake still thinks Matt and Ashley are together (although we'll recall that the two broke up two full episodes before the season finale).
