A scene I don't understand


When Terry goes to Jake's house, Jesse is reading, Why does she rip his shirt? Why does he tantalize her? It seems to me, they would have got down and dirty!!!!!!

henfruit, they love and want each other so much, but know they better not make love now, in Jake's house. Also, because of the killing of Sully, the crooked deals and the totality of the crap their lives are right now, it's just a burst of emotion.Don't forget, Jake knows about Sully's murder as he had sent Sully to Mexico to find them. I don't remember if Jessie has told Jake about killing Sully, but he still knows. Right after that, they fall into each other's arms and Jess bursts into tears. Very powerful scene.
