Jessica stated that Greenpeace was the target of the bomb, not the source. She was also involved with drugs while touring with a band called "Phish". He seems to be worried but Jessica made it clear that neither she or Aubrey are the same people they were back then. While working with Angela and Brennan she tells them that she is worried the background check would affect a possible relationship with Aubrey. At the end of the episode, she and Aubrey go out to dinner.

In The End in the End despite Aubrey choosing to take a promotion in Washington, DC instead, its confirmed that he does not get back together with Jessica when he tells Caroline Julian that they broke up at the end of the episode.
