** When Victor asks what exactly Talia did for Chloe, Talia says she told her to "Find something she loves". Victor then asks if Talia actually got ''interested'' and involved in Chloe's life.

Goh was only an immature, melodramatic child so ''of course'' he'd take something as an accidental betrayal like it was the end of the world.
