* GriefInducedSplit: Emilia and Jack separate due to their grief over their newborn daughter Isabel, who died of SIDS; Emilia takes the loss especially hard (particularly as she finds out she cannot have more biological children) and it's further compounded by Emilia's strained relationship with her stepson, William, and Jack's ex-wife Carolyn. Emilia eventually confesses to Jack she blames herself for Isabel's death, [[spoiler:as she fell asleep holding her and believes she accidentally suffocated her]]; Emilia also believes Isabel's death is a punishment for being with Jack while he was still married to Carolyn. [[spoiler:Their relationship gradually improves, especially when Emilia learns Isabel did die of SIDS rather than anything she did, and the ending implies that [[SubvertedTrope she and Jack will get back together]]]].
