Cherry was upset as Entrapta told her all of these things, yes, but there was a particularly pained expression that crossed her face once Entrapta pointed out that being too sympathetic towards Jack could hurt Rich. She was deeply conflicted about this and Entrapta taking a moment to nurse her soupy smoothie left Cherry in uncomfortable and unhappy silence.
