At the hospital the staff decided to have the patients show their talents based on what song or something motivated them during their recovery.

Jessica has been listening to Worship throughout her hospital stays. Jughead practice every day with Jessica and put a special slideshow leading up to a special tribute to her parents and her God family. She found forms to ask the Andrews family to adopt her. She can't imagine her life without them knowing Matt and Emily would truly appreciate this. They truly given her strength during her recovery as well as Jughead. The night of the talent show Jessica was nervous since Archie parents never heard her sing and Jughead's Dad, FP was there too for support. Everyone from Riverdale High and The Serpents were there.

The host introduced Jess.

Jughead hold her hand as the nurse wheeled her up. Jess said.

"This song has given me so much strength during my recovery especially the fact my parents would sing this song to me as a toddler and I truly appreciate each and everyone of you for your love and support as well as Jughead who is going to sing this with me."

The piano started.

"In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
When Darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil
Christ alone; cornerstone
Weak made strong; in the Saviour's love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Christ alone; cornerstone
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand."

Archie looks over at his parents as Fred And Mary were speechless getting chills And goosebumps as Jessica sings she truly inherited her mother's ability to sing. FP was blown away at his son.

The slideshow showed Jess with her parents and her childhood along with Fred and Mary at the Martins side this was before Archie was born. Then towards the last verse at the lines

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Christ alone; cornerstone
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

She showed the road to recovery from the moment she woke up to trying out her new power chair to praying at the hospital church with Archie. To spending time with Mary and Fred as well as Jughead.

The slideshow continued with Thank you Jesus for everything. Momma and Daddy, Thank you for teaching me these hymns from a young age. It's bring me closer to you both and Jesus.

The next slide acknowledge Mary, Fred & Archie.

My lovely God family, please take a look at the envelope Mr. Jones hands to you. Thank you for your guidance and love I would have not been able to get through this recovery. Jessica was holding her breath and tears as jughead  reminded her to breathe.

FP gives them the envelope they opened the envelope and see the form for adoption.  Stunned Mary and Fred choked up as Archie teared up since he felt he did truly treat Jessica like an sister he never had. Jess said as she was excited and nervous.

"I feel in my heart that my parents would have loved to see me being with you all. Mom, Daddy and Archie you three play a huge part in my recovery I know you will still be my God family but I ask you will you please adopt me for good?"

Fred And Mary signed the form as she come down the stage with Jug.  They come down and Fred embrace her. Mary hugged her as Jess sees the paper signed she teared up. Archie embrace her with a huge hug. Deep down Jessica has been missing her parents and their love and through Mary and Fred as well as Archie they given her a piece of her parents back to her since they knew Matt and Emily so well.
