Eventually, though, Geri saw Jason's true colours when he had a night party in his mansion, despite agent Dion telling Jason to recover from his injury. During the night, Jason's team-mate Scott Anderson attempted to rape Geri and Jason failed to do anything about it. Realising that Jason treated her like a 'trophy', Geri decided to hit him where it hurt the most, in his pocket.

After getting married, Geri threw Jason out of the car, leaving him to realise that she was going to take him for every penny he was worth after what he had put her through.

Dion was clearly aware that if Jason paid Geri, he knew that would affect his payment as agent and therefore he would have to reach an agreement with Geri.
