Your Character
Although he has heard about you previously, you do not meet him until Book 2, Chapter 1. He expects you to come to dinner and makes it clear that it isn't a request. In Chapter 2, you have dinner with him, Mr. Covington, and his other two sons, Gavin and Joel. You can impress him with your choices, but even doing so will not win his favor as he tells you in private to leave Gracetown and leave Mr. Covington. Even if you do not romance Mr. Covington, he doesn't want his eldest son to be marred by the stigma of having children out of wedlock, especially with a nobody like you. This angers you and you can either give him a piece of your mind in a premium scene or storm off. You inform Mr. Covington of what his father has said, and Jebediah is angry at that as well.

In Chapter 3, you have to convince him to approve of your and Mayor Dixon's plans to create a park instead of a golf course for the community to enjoy. If you decide to become "Queen of the Day" by grabbing the pocket watch before Craig Finch can, you can ask him to give you an honest compliment. If you do, he tells you that you and his son will have beautiful children together.

Cassandra Taylor
Cassandra Taylor's family and the Covingtons are old friends, and she has known Jebediah since she was a child. While he knows that Cassandra and his eldest son will never marry, he still enjoys her company in his home and treats her well.
