In an old episode of Powerhouse, ikinuwento ni Jen kung gaano sila kalapit sa isa't isa.

"Iba 'yung relationship namin eh. Kahit kami lang, kahit wala akong barkada, okay na. Kumbaga parang siya ang hero ko eh. Siya lahat."

Dagdag pa niya, "Iba kasi ang pagmamahal namin sa isa't isa. Siguro kung papipiliin ulit ako na magkaroon ng magulang, siya ulit ang pipiliin ko."
