The psychotic Jackie
Jackie (Jessica Lowe) is the villainess of "Wedlocked", episode 1.06 of NBC's One Big Happy (airdate April 28, 2015). She was a dim-witted Target cashier who, halfway through the episode, went out on a date with with her friend Lori at a bar. Their male companions were Marcus and Luke, with Marcus having invited Luke to join him to help take his mind off his conflict with his wife Prudence, who he had come to believe was only trying to remarry him after it was revealed that their first marriage wasn't legal to avoid deportation. During the date, it was shown that Jackie quickly developed an attraction for Luke, as shown through her perky and flirtatious mannerisms.
When Luke's friend Lizzy Fisher brought Prudence to the bar to recreate the night they met and fell in love, Prudence and Luke began to reconcile when Jackie came up and asked Luke to take her home. When Prudence asked if they were together, the delusional Jackie claimed that they were, causing Prudence to storm out in anger. But later, Luke and Lizzy chased Prudence back to their apartment, where the couple officially made up and arranged to become married before it would be too late to save Prudence from being deported.
Luke went to Marcus's apartment to change into his suit, only to be surprised to find Jackie waiting for him. After Luke revealed that he was getting married, Jackie went into a fit of tears as she proclaimed that all of her relationships failed. When Luke tried to comfort her, Jackie tried to get him to stay. When Luke refused, however, the evil Jackie handcuffed her and Luke's wrists together and threw his phone out the window, playfully bragging that the keys were hidden in her jacket. As Luke tried to persuade Jackie to let him go before he missed the deadline, Jackie suddenly passed out from having had nine beers while on anti-psychotics. This forced Luke to drag Jackie to the wedding, arriving just after Lizzy was forced to marry Prudence when they nearly ran out of time to get her marriage licence authorized. The episode also served as the series finale, leaving Jackie's fate unknown.
