In Episodes Six and Seven, Marshall and Jackie discussed their engagement and the prospect of meeting each other's families. Jackie expressed her anxiety about her parents' confusion about their engagement, as well as her nervousness about being introduced to Marshall's sister. Marshall offered to postpone the meeting, yet Jackie reassured him that she was prepared.“Jackie has a tendency to ruminate,” he told the cameras. “And she tends to stay in a mood for a long time. Longer than I would like, however, that’s not up to me. And I’m just there chilling, waiting.”
Jackie then revealed that her family was not entirely supportive of their engagement. She said she was considering all the “repercussions” that would come with choosing to marry Marshall or leave him.
When Marshall’s sister Morgan, niece Zoe, and brother-in-law Ryan arrived, Jackie was friendly, albeit slightly uncomfortable, during the conversation. She complimented Marshall for being a great listener and helping her through tough moments. “I need to make sure I’m the best version of me when I say ‘yeah,’” she told Marshall’s family. Her relatives and friends never made an appearance in Season Four.

During Episode Eight, Marshall revealed he left their apartment after Jackie told him to “boss up.” “The way that she made me feel in that moment when she said that — I wasn’t a man,” he said to the cameras. “That hurts because I truly genuinely do love this girl. When Marshall returned to the apartment, Jackie was packing her clothes. Jackie said she was not interested in playing games. They had an explosive disagreement about Marshall choosing to leave instead of addressing his feelings.
“I never said you weren’t man enough for me, I just said to be more aggressive,” Jackie said. “We don’t have s**, bro!” Marshall said Jackie did not make him feel special, so she questioned why he liked her. “Because I see you as a project and I saw potential,” he bluntly replied. “I thought that you were just going to come around to me.”
He later apologized for his comments and clarified he meant his relationship with Jackie had “limitless potential.” Marshall told Jackie he loved her. She embraced him and apologized, temporarily fixing their problems.
