Appearance

Your Character
Jackie is one of your love interests and fellow intern at Edenbrook Hospital. You first meet her in the locker rooms and follow her to orientation. When you have a Code Blue emergency, she helps you but takes full credit in front of your attending physician, Dr. Ramsey. You have the option to hook up with her in Chapter 2 before you are interrupted. At the end of Chapter 2, Sienna suggests the five interns (including you and her) rent a place together to get out of the current hellholes each person is living in.

In Chapter 6, you have the option to be intimate with her for diamonds. In Chapter 7, when her ranking drops lower than yours, she becomes cold and tells you that even though you're not her enemy, you're a distraction to her and an obstacle to her goal of being the best.

Bryce Lahela
When you meet Jackie for the first time, she is in the locker room with Bryce. They appear to know each other, as she calls him "Meathead" and "Scalpel Jockey" and asks why he must remain shirtless.
