I thought I'd do this here instead of the character board since it's not just theory, it's speculative theory (and not even wacky!).
I don't think Derek killed Jesse, so I've been trying to figure out if we'd ever see her again in present day. I can't see any reason to have a time traveler wandering about without being part of the story, so we can't be done with her. But with Riley dead, Derek dead, John away in the future and Cameron out of commission, Jesse doesn't exactly have anything to do these days. Hmm...
The miscarriage tidbit they shoehorned into her story at the last minute didn't make any sense at all. In fact, I thought it weakened the character considerably. Instead of being a dedicated soldier trying to fix her commander, she became a chick with a personal grudge. That's no good at all. And we know TSCC is better than that. So then why the miscarriage? It's not like it died with Jesse's story either; Cameron mentions it in To the Lighthouse ("You lost a child. Sarah almost lost her child."). There must be more to it.
Try this: Jesse is pregnant.
In Alpine Fields, we got the story of Derek and Jesse first meeting in the future along with a present-day story about an unborn baby being a Skynet target. Coincidence? Not bloody likely.
We're in a bizarro timeline now where John isn't mankind's savior, so we might as well twist the present day story too, right? Derek having jumped back in time to kill his friend is a good counter to Kyle having jumped back to save the woman he loved. Now Sarah's lost John and Jesse is pregnant. I guess the miscarriage story was just a way to introduce the idea of Jesse and derek having a baby. And now she gets a second chance to do that. That's going to be one messed up kid, though
I'll assume Jesse and Derek's baby would grow up to be important in the resistance, so Skynet will come calling. If present-day Skynet stuff is now being done through Kaliba, then I guess Sarah will end up finding Jesse just by being on Kaliba's trail. And she'll save her because that's what Sarah does.
