Well, we can change the dynamics of the J/E relationship as well, such as doing an AU where DMC never happens, so we wouldn't have to deal with the kiss at all.
Or we could follow the DMC plot only make it seem more W/E. 😉 There's a lot of ways to play with the relationships. Besides, we could put Anamaria back in the story for Jack, if need be. I always liked those two together. 😄
