Or maybe he edited it out because he wanted to show us the similar story
of how Jahlee became Silkhorn's daughter, and having both seemed too
repetitive.

Of course it's not the same, since Silkhorn isn't just Horn, and Horn
loving Krait is probably even more of a stretch than Silkhorn loving
Jahlee.
