Beth at first decides she's going to get an abortion, as she has dreams of becoming a heart surgeon, and this will put Jerry in even more danger than it's worth. However, on the way to the clinic, Jerry's car blows a tire, and he wonders if this is a sign that what happened is meant to be. After a long discussion in the car, the two decide they want to keep their baby and raise it together. Jerry takes her home after getting his tire replaced so she can tell her mother, and he goes home to tell his family what has happened, and firmly put in place that he will be leaving and raising the baby with Beth and living the life he wants. However, this does not go over well. Louis is absolutely livid at this, as it breaks many rules, and their family's way of life isn't just something that he can just turn his back on. He demands that Jerry forces Beth to go through with the abortion, and that he stops seeing her, but Jerry stands up and refuses. He and Louis get into a physical altercation that ends with Jerry demoted and marked as a Thin-Blood. Jerry however, still tries to be defiant, so the crazed old Pure-Blood ends up dragging his Grandson to the basement and ties him down there with very little room to move, and forced to stare up at the rafters where the remnants of the rope that Randall hung himself still are to remind him of what he threw away for a girl. Jerry is trapped down there without food, water or any sort of social interaction for an entire three days despite Thomas and Joyce attempting to break him out several times. At the end of the third day when Louis finally comes downstairs to retrieve Jerry, as any could well imagine, he is completely mentally broken, not to mention sick from his Thin-Blood mark becoming infected. Once he's finally alone, Jerry makes a break for the only place he can go, which is to Beth, who in those three days, thought Jerry must've disappeared like her father and every other guy she's ever been with. Diane finds Jerry collapsed in their lawn, and is utterly horrified by his state. She immediately takes him in and refuses to let him return home after such an experience. He ends up living with Diane and Beth, taking care of her despite the trauma, and as luck would have it, their baby was a girl, so Louis didn't see a point in pursuing her, due to the fact that women never kept their last name, therefore, she'd be no threat. As fate would have it however, three years later, Beth ends up pregnant again after she and Jerry decide they want another baby. This baby however, turns out to be a boy, which somehow Louis finds out, and he and his new Strong-Blood after Thomas leaves, who happens to be Jerry's vengeful cousin, Charlie, decide that this baby cannot live, and they make plans to go after and kill him once he's born. Diane, who is already fed up living in Muskegon after the trauma of Rick leaving her, only to keep coming back seemingly just to sleep with her, decides with Beth and Jerry after Louis confronts them that they need to leave. They move out of Michigan and move across the country to Seattle to start anew and to keep Morty safe from the cult. The same snowy night Morty is born, Louis mysteriously dies of a heart attack. Today, Jerry speaks nothing of his former life in the cult, and Summer and Morty have no idea about any of it. The two of them can only wonder why they rarely ever see their grandparents, or why they don't know their father's side of the family aside from Joyce, Leonard, Ruth and Thomas.
