During the events of White Line Fever (1975) played by Kay Lenz

Jerri and Jamie wait for Carrol Jo's flight to land. Carrol Jo and Jerri get married and Carrol Jo goes on to buy a semi truck from Truck Salesman who sells him a repossessed truck. Jerri's supervisor yells at Jerri for not working faster. She goes home and greets Carrol Jo and Sadie and he tells her that he is going to go back to work, even with his ribs broken from an attack. Carrol Jo, Jamie, Pops, Birdie and Red go to the bar with Jerri and Jamie's Girl. Buck is there and tries to intimidate the other truckers and Carnell tells Pops that Carrol Jo is just going to get him killed. Jerri tells Jamie that she is pregnant, but not to tell Carrol Jo and then tells him that she wants to have an abortion.

After Carrol Jo is accused of the murder of Duane, Pops gets Carrol Jo a Defense Lawyer who tells him that the Prosecutor is offering him a deal to plead guilty for a lesser charge. Jerri thinks he should take the deal, but Carrol Jo refuses. During the trial the Prosecutor calls a Witness who says he saw Carrol Jo kill Duane. The Forewoman questions the Witness and then Jerri takes the stand and says Carrol Jo is innocent and mentions the deal he was offered. After the charges are dropped, Carrol Jo and Jerri come home and find their semi vandalized. Jerri tells Carrol Jo that she is pregnant and as Jerri walks into their bedroom, she sees the body of Pops murdered and screams. Later, during the night, a Thug breaks into their house and hits Carrol Jo and Jerri with a crow bar and sets their house on fire. Carrol Jo manages to get Jerri out of the house, but at the hospital, the Doctor tells Carrol Jo that Jerri miscarried and won't be able to have any children. Carrol Jo drives his semi to the Glass House and crashes it into the sign. A trucker strike starts and from inside her hospital, Jerri seems sad.
