did he continue to house sit at the ufo house and water the plants ?


after killing sam. what was the deal with all that ?

I don't really know actually: I never thought about it, but I think it's a cool question. It sure is possible that's where Jake Scully stayed while continuing his career, and hopefully the plants stayed watered (I guess Jake could hire people to move them out, but I think they create a nice atmosphere...and oxygen, of course. Considering it's L.A., fresh oxygen is a must:-). "UFO House": yeah, it is pretty ostentatious, isn't it?

i like to think that he did.

Me too:-).

It's reasonable to believe that the Reveilles owned the home. It was unoccupied, and an obvious choice for Alexander (Sam) to carry out his plot. Being Gloria and him were both now dead, the house would either go to heirs, or be sold. It's unlikely Jake would have the means to acquire the property, or given the experience he had there, either want to own or live there.

I don't know, it was a weird film filled with weird people doing weird things (I love it!), so I could see Jake staying there until someone gives him the boot (that property stuff takes a long time to settle), or maybe he did move to another place, maybe sharing a room with Holly Body:-).
