What happened to Jess?
The last time we saw Jess (in 3.18 The Undertow) Ryan was abandoning her in her hour of need. She was drunk and crying, while a party that she didn't want raged on at her house. And her recently ex-boyfriend Jim was coming after her.
So what happened to her next? Did she go back with Jim? Did she flee Newport and go back to living with Trey in Las Vegas? Did Jim come after her and beat her up, maybe killing her? Did she maybe go back to the alcohol and drugs, and overdose, or end up face down in the pool and this time nobody fished her out? Did she maybe go running back to Ryan and plead with him to help her, and he couldn't resist? Did her parents come home and find her drunk with a rager going on in the house and send her to rehab?
Could make a good story...
