Biography[]
Terrifier 3[]
Jessica first appears in the scene where Sienna arrives home after returning from the mental hospital in December of 2023. She greets and hugs Sienna, saying, "I'm so happy to see you." Gabbie ushers Sienna to go see her new room and Jessica says that they'll catch up later.
Later, Jessica makes dinner for the family and Sienna, and they sit down to eat. At the table, Jessica, Gabbie, and Greg are talking about some of the things they'll be doing for Christmas this year, and Gabbie begins to stare at Sienna's scars from across the table. Jessica tells Gabbie that it's "inappropriate". Greg brings up how Gabbie got a scar that year from falling off of her bike over summer break. Greg and Gabbie go into detail about the injury, and Jessica tells them to change the subject. Later, after talking about how Gabbie stopped believing in Santa Claus, Jessica notices Sienna staring weirdly across the table from her, and asks Sienna if she's alright. Sienna tells her that she's alright, but later, abruptly excuses herself from the table and into another room. Jessica tells Gabbie and Greg to finish eating so that they can eat their fortune cookies.
After dinner, Jessica makes hot chocolate for Sienna and they sit down at the table. Jessica tells Sienna that how she's feeling will "get better". Sienna tells Jessica that she reminds her of her mom, Barbara, and they begin to talk about some of her mannerisms as she grew up. Sienna begins to get emotional and says, "I miss her. I miss her so much." Jessica tells Sienna that she misses her too. Later, Jessica and Greg are sitting in bed, and they begin to discuss Sienna and how excited Gabbie is to see her again. Jessica tells Greg that Gabbie and Sienna are going Christmas shopping the following day, and Greg expresses concern, saying "Did you not see what happened today?" Jessica rebuts and says that, "She's healing, it's gonna take time. She's taking her medication." Greg tells her to keep his and Jessica's guard up still, and Jessica reluctantly agrees.
Later that night, Gabbie and Sienna are getting ready to play a game, and Greg is watching the TV. A story on the news comes on about an explosion at the mall Gabbie and Sienna had just visited earlier that day. Watching the TV, Sienna begins to have a panic attack, saying, "He's here... he's here. It's not safe." Jessica tries to comfort Sienna while Greg asks Sienna what she's talking about. Sienna says, "The Miles County Clown; I saw him today." Jessica tries to help Sienna, and tells her that she's scaring Gabbie after Sienna begins to start yelling and freaking out even worse. Sienna yells, "We have to call Jonathan right now!" Greg calls Jonathan, and tells him that Sienna is adamant on getting him over to their house as soon as possible. Jessica and Greg stare in concern at Sienna who takes the phone. Jonathan asks, "Did you get it?" and Sienna responds with, "Yeah, I got it."
Greg gets ready to pick up Jonathan, and Jessica comes down the stairs and tells him that she gave Sienna something to help her sleep. Greg says, "We'll talk about it when I get back." Jessica goes back upstairs to Gabbie's room, and Gabbie asks, "Where's Sienna?" Jessica tells her that she's sleeping, and Gabbie expresses concern that Sienna is going to go back to the mental hospital. Jessica says, "I don't want her to, but if she's not well, we gotta do what's best for her." Gabbie says, "What if she's right? What if the Miles County Clown is back?" Jessica tells her nothing's going to happen, and that Gabbie needs to get some rest before Jonathan and Greg get back later.
On the morning of Christmas Eve, Sienna wakes up and goes downstairs, hearing the voice of "Jessica" and "Greg" speaking about how they want to abandon Sienna and leave her in the mental hospital. Suddenly, the conversation turns sinister, as they begin to talk about smothering Sienna in her sleep. Sienna approaches the voices and discovers it's Art and Victoria mimicking the voices of her aunt and uncle, and Art chases Sienna throughout the house before knocking her out. When Sienna wakes up, she finds herself tied to a chair with Jessica sat in front of her, also tied down. Jessica and Sienna writhe while breathing heavily in their chairs, as Victoria teases the two of them by taking pictures of them, as well as Art holding up Greg's exposed intestines, with a small camera. Victoria opens up a present, and sees that it's a dress that Gabbie bought for her mom. She throws it at Jessica and says, "Try it on, Mommy." As Jessica cowers in fear while covered by the dress, Victoria says, "Aww, it looks good on you, Mommy!" before laughing. Victoria approaches Jessica and says, "If you scream, I'm gonna rip your fucking tongue out." She rips the duct tape off of Jessica's mouth, and Jessica asks where Gabbie is. Victoria says, "I thought you'd never ask." before Art approaches the newspaper-covered cage in the center of Jessica and Sienna's chairs and rips the newspaper off of it, revealing a skinless skull covered in rats. Victoria says, "Hi, Gabbie!" implying that the skull is Gabbie's. Jessica begins to scream and cry in horror. Jessica says, "That's not my daughter." Victoria tells Jessica that it is, and asks, "Can't recognize your own flesh and blood?" Victoria says, "I gave you a present, Mommy. Now, I want you to give me one." Jessica spits in Victoria's face, saying, "Fuck you!" Victoria slowly backs away and looks over to Art. Art reaches down for a large glass tube, as well as a blowtorch.
Death[]
Terrifier 3[]
Art approaches Jessica with the tube and blowtorch in hand, and Jessica pleads, "I love you, Sienna. Kill them both... make them suffer." Victoria says, "You first" and holds her head in place and forces her mouth open. Art then takes the glass tube and forcefully puts it into Jessica's mouth and into her throat. Jessica begins to tremble and slam her hands against the chair. Suddenly, part of the tube shatters in her mouth, causing blood to spurt up in the tube. Jessica then begins to vomit and groan even more, before Victoria walks towards the cage in the middle of the room containing the skull and picks up a rat. Suddenly, as Victoria approaches Jessica, Art takes a large mallet and begins hammering the tube down Jessica's throat even further. Jessica gags and screams as blood pours from her mouth. Art signals to Victoria, and Victoria approaches Jessica and puts the rat down the tube. To force it down the tube, Art uses the blowtorch on its tail, causing it to crawl down the tube and into Jessica's throat. Victoria takes two more rats and forces them both down the tube and into her throat. As the rats begin to wriggle around in Jessica's throat as Jessica chokes to death, Victoria walks back to the dinner table and grabs a bloody knife. She approaches Jessica and puts the knife to her throat. Sienna, who has been watching in horror the entire time, begins to cry in fear even harder. Victoria takes the knife and slits Jessica's throat open, causing the rats to crawl out of her throat and onto the floor. Art looks down at the rats and frantically steps on all of them. Victoria and Art then put their sights on Sienna and leave Jessica in the chair, dead.
