Emily was getting ready to try on the engagement dress that Eric had gotten for her when she received a call from the front desk informing her that Jude was there to see her. She asked them to send him in.

Since her mother's funeral two days ago, she hadn't heard from him. She was also eager to know how much information they had gathered about the kidnapper.
