Jason eventually gives in to his feelings for Jessica, which earns the enmity of both Hoyt and Jason's former friends. Struggling with the pain of the breakup, Hoyt eventually asks Jessica to "glamour" or hypnotize away all his memories of her and Jason before he moves to Alaska. Hoyt returns in season 7, with his new girlfriend, Brigette. He meets Jessica again after saving her life from a sadistic vampire named Violet.

Bill is reluctant but willingly goes along with the sentence as the Magister would torture her and make him watch, draining the struggling Jessica of all her blood and burying her underground with him for one night. This process transforms Jessica into a vampire successfully, but she is under the reign of her "maker", Bill, to which she does not take kindly. Jessica at first is saddened at the fact she can never go back to her family and live a normal life but immediately cheers over her new-found freedom and enhanced abilities.
