“Do you want me to say that your Fridays are at risk?”(71).
When Jeff refuses to “Acknowledge” the Darkenfloxx drip and cause Heather to suffer, Abnesti threatens his skype sessions with his mother. His initial failed compliance is overturned after this threat because his time with his mom is highly treasured.
After Heather is given the Darkenfloxx drip and dies, Jeff shifts his priorities. He values Rachel’s life and does not want what happened to Heather to happen to Rachel. He decides to give himself the Darkenfloxx drip so that his actions are not responsible for Rachel’s death. He prioritizes her life over his.

I wonder if the shift in Jeff’s response to the prospect of Darkenfloxx changes not because of a change in priorities, but his understanding of the consequences. At first, he only thinks that Darkenfloxx will cause immense pain and sorrow, but after Heather’s experience, he understands that if Rachel is injected, she will commit suicide.
