Homeless
Stan saves Jodie's life and befriends her, Jodie is able to channel Nancy with Aiden's help and speaks to Stan, imploring him to move on with his life. It is clear that Stan has been unable to cope with her death, and becomes very emotional, telling Nancy that he misses her.
During the chapter Jodie overcomes the suicidal ideation and guilt she struggles with due to Stan, as he is one of the only people to recognise Jodie's worth without Aiden as well as the good she can bring to peoples' lives; an example being when she delivers Zoey without any help from Aiden, and Stan expresses what a miracle she is.
After Jodie falls into a coma, he manages to find a job and is able to rent a small apartment. He visits her often during her coma, bringing her news about the rest of the group. If Jodie chooses to return to Stan's group, he joyfully welcomes her back and introduces her to Zoey.
