I think Elizabeth has shown her mettle this episode so I believe she will manage to stick it out. Her and Jack also actually know each other and built a relationship on real values and understanding each other and having the patience to actually get to know one another--and built an emotional connection not built on trauma bonding--i.e. the exact opposite of of Spencer and Alex's relationship.
Part of why I dont like the whole Spencer x Alex thing is that it reads false to me. The Sheridanverse is not a fairytale--and yet as soon as Alex flounces into Spencer's face, there's a notable tonal clash--she lives in a fairytale and has this sense of being the poor princess whose being married off to someone she doesnt love, and sees this handsome, dangerous man who has experienced horror she cannot even begin to understand, so she turns him into this fantasy prince savior at every turn. He will literally say something about himself, and she will immediately translate it into how she wants it to sound to her own ears. Just one example being when he talks about his parents--and instead of asking about them, she says something along the lines of "I like my version better, the one where you come from the wilds of Africa". Its nonsense, and it isnt reality. And its tempting, I'm sure, for him go along with it, for the simple fact that it isnt reality. It isnt his reality, nor the worlds reality. Alex presents a fairytale, simplicity and imagination, and it's just a silly dream. It's not real.
