"It means you have to embrace your fate, good or bad," she says. "Whatever will be will be. And at this point we're linked, so if a bad thing happens to you, it happens to me."
As Jim lies dying in Sritala's arms, she tells him Jim was his father.
In a fit of fury and despair, Rick shoots Jim in the chest.
