Jake and Patricia grew close to each other, and are dating by the start of Resurgence. In addition to Dylan, Jake also met Patricia Whitmore, another child of a war hero. Captain Hiller was still alive at the time, so it’s possible Jake even had the chance to meet the pilot he saw go toe to toe with the aliens during the War of 1996.
