Jess goes straight to the student store and stands in line to buy a laptop. She didn't even bother to change out of her costume, too determined to get started straight away.
As the line moves slowly, someone clears their throat behind her, and when she turns to look, it's the same guy as before, checking out her outfit. There's no way she's gonna explain, she's been humiliated enough, thank you very much.
Jess orders him, “Don't ask.”
The guy respects that, telling her, “Wasn't gonna.”
Now that she's finally got a laptop, she's going into full med student mode.
There she is in her dorm room, typing up a paper for class.
There she is again, walking right past Brady, Ruby and friends, and upon seeing her, Castiel asks, because he can't believe it either, “Is she carrying textbooks?”
Now she's in the library, reaching for a book on the top shelf, but she can't reach it, even by jumping, but out of nowhere, a bigger arm reaches up and gets the book down for her and hands it to her.
Once she has the book, she turns to thank him, and surprisingly, it's Garth, who smiles at her.
In MacLeod's class, MacLeod says,
“So, you've admitted a patient. What next?”
She looks to where Jess is sitting, now with a laptop, even if it's a different color than everyone else's. Hm. Let's see if she learned anything from last time.
“Miss Moore?”
Jess looks up from her computer, this time able to answer,
“Don't you need symptoms?”
Intrigued, MacLeod asks, “Meaning?”
Jess continues, “Meaning you have reasonable belief that your patient has an indication of an illness?”
Well. Whatever she'd been thinking about Jess before, clearly that's changed just from that answer. Even better, when she addresses the class again, it's to add to her answer,
“And what kind of indication of an illness is this patient exhibiting?”
Jess smiles. She's finally starting to do good here.
Back in her dorm room, she changes the channel to the news, as there's a news story about a new medical treatment, and she wants to watch that while reading her textbook as she runs on the treadmill.
She even gets Donna to help her while they get new highlights, helping her study while she's in the chair.
In Crowley's class, Crowley writes “Current Procedural Terminology” on the board, and asks the class,
“And the purpose of Current Procedural Terminology is what?”
Jess’ hand shoots up, and Brady attempts to raise his own, but Crowley sees Jess first, so he points to her.
Jess answers, “To report medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures and services to entities such as physicians, health insurance companies and accreditation organizations.”
Crowley nods, smiling, and Jess smiles as well. She's definitely not out of place anymore.
