We will continue the story of Elliot. This week, he will get jealous of Raoul and he will discover that his wife is cheating on him. Poor guy!
Have done something / Have someone do something
Of course this recently learned grammar will appear a few times in the story.
eg.
She is having Raoul teach her English.
She is having English taught to her.

He was so ______ that he __________
so ～ that … 構文の意味は、「あまりに（大変）～なので…」です。
so ～ that … 構文の～には形容詞や副詞、…の部分にはthatは接続詞なので節（1つの主語と動詞の組からなる文）がきます。
以下のso ～ that … 構文をみてみましょう。

We will review and continue to use this recently learned grammar

Mine has, too.
On?= can show a consequence to another person
Pattern: verb + on + noun
