When they spoke after the shabbos, it seemed like it was their first meeting.

It was their first meeting, but she knew who he was and he knew that she was close with his wife.
Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!
I think "Rabbi Gerry" could add 1 + 1 and get 2 - the quirk of Leah's first attendance and first Shabat "smothering, in a nice way" and then Jacob's later arrival at the same shul inquiring about forgiveness by his brother - it wouldn't need a genius to make this link. I believe she knew, but like a Catholic Confessional - she was ethecially bound not to discuss Leah's visit, but could answer Jake's question (hoping) it would help them both. Good Shabbes!
