  1. Know readers would likely wonder where Jane is, so yeah, a short snippet is good. Maybe you write a short-short story that covers it? (Even if you don’t publish, it’d be good to reference.) A decent example I’m thinking of, is Star Trek TNG, Gates McFadden got “fired” end of season 1, so they explained her absence as “reassignment to Starfleet Medical”, and once rehired for Season 3, “one year rotation’s over, she’s back”.
  2. Me trying to spin a one-line tale with the dialogue… I figure if it’s nagging on your mind, then it’s likely nagging on the reader’s mind. Perhaps you’re wanting to sow seeds for a follow-on story (not the direct sequel), so you could drop breadcrumbs, “She’s gone to explore jungles in Colombia haven’t heard from her in ages.” Anyways, ideas there, hope it helps.
  3. Could be from somebody not wanting to necessarily cross into a love-triangle territory too… or verifying that the other person’s not around. Because Jane was a part of their character makeup (and still is to some degree), seems relevant to know that the main character might still have thoughts dwelling on Jane, maybe it’s regret, maybe it’s guilt for hiding the body, or maybe they’ve totally moved on with “Who’s Jane?”.
  4. Never say never, episode 34 “Thanksgiving” has been posted.
  5. Simple, have a quick conversation chapter one of the sequel. “Where’s Joe?” “Six years in prison, because when they say NO PARKING, the really mean NO PARKING.” or “Got transferred to far, far, away.” or “He learned why there’s safety bars on woodchippers. Coroner estimated they recovered 60% of the remains.” And if you want the villain to be a surprise, have his whereabouts accounted/dismissed for in this conversation too.
