 * After completing Cry Me a River, Jerry will run to the Old Mormon Fort in Freeside, where he is accepted and sheltered by Julie Farkas and the Followers of the Apocalypse.

Bugs

 * Jerry's pathfinding causes him to pace in the dueling ring, unfortunately this causes him to walk right past the Khans attacking the practice dummies. He will subsequently be killed and the quest will fail if the player spends too much time in the area (before or after accepting the quest). Upon the player's return, with permission for him to join the Followers, he may still be killed in this fashion, thereby rendering the quest impossible to complete if stuck in this reoccurring death loop. Jerry can be protected long enough to complete the quest by reverse pickpocketing stronger armor into his inventory. Even if he dies and after accepting the quest, Julie Farkas will still have all associated quest options in her dialogue tree.
 * Sometimes, Jerry will not leave his tent in Red Rock Canyon once his quest is completed. He will thank the Courier if interacted with, as if he successfully made it to the Old Mormon Fort. Bumping him bodily out of the tent may start him on his way.
 * After completing his quest he may be hostile if you meet him while wearing NCR armor. This may be to do with the fact that he was once almost a member of the Khans.
 * Jerry may start attacking NCR affiliated gamblers inside the Mormon Fort. (This may be connected to the state of the NCR/Khans relationship at the time, per Oh My Papa). If he exits the tower the Followers guards may attack him.
