It really makes me wonder if Enoch ever had anybody to talk to and that is why he is so strong on Haze; because Haze is listening.

Relationships can be hard, especially, when careers interfere. If Cliff did quit so he could stay with Priscilla, she may regret being the cause of him quitting or he may always hold it over her head by saying, “you should do this for me since I quit my career to be with you.” Another problem with this relationship is that Cliff and Priscilla are an interracial couple.
