In Season 11 she appears in the episode The Senator in the Street Sweeper where Aubrey is requested to do a background check on her by Caroline.

She was also involved with drugs while touring with a band called "Phish". He seems to be worried but Jessica made it clear that neither she or Aubrey are the same people they were back then.
