Opposite of Always

Jack finds himself on the stairs at the college party, which means he’s failed to save Kate once again. He’s grateful to at least have another chance. Jack considers the movie Groundhog Day and how it compares to his situation. He thinks about what he’s learned from each timeline and what he needs to do differently. The only thing he’s now certain of is that he and Kate are destined to love each other, and he’s willing to do this as many times as it takes to be with her.

Jack’s father tells him about how great it is to find someone who makes you happy and a better person like Jack’s mother does for him. She’s not perfect, but she’s right for him, and he chooses her anew every day. Jack, too, has realized the importance of expressing his love while he can and not taking time or love for granted.

This time, Jack talks to Franny first about having The Coupon place a bet for him, and Franny says it’s okay. Jack uses his winnings to pay for Dr. Sowunmi’s treatments for Kate, and she starts to feel better after the first injection.
