Season 14[]
In There's Your Trouble, Eli runs into Tristan at The Dot and Tristan asks what's next for Eli now that he's not in New York. Eli says he's just staying around town and just applied for a job at The Dot. Tristan sees through Eli and figures out he's back to reconcile with Clare Edwards. Tristan says he ships them and thinks Clare is Eli's one true love. He continues to say how romantic it is that Eli's sacrificing his dreams just to be with her. Eli expresses his thoughts about Eclare not working out, to which Tristan replies "love conquers all" before entering The Dot, ending their chat.
In I Wanna Be Adored, Eli is seen briefly working at The Dot while Tristan and Gage finish their date, Tristan and Zoë Rivas catch up about Miles Hollingsworth III, and Zoë has a conversation about concert tickets with Miles. It can be assumed that Eli served Tristan and the others.
