Jade Matherson didn't really do reality. For one thing, she spent every day on the train imagining lives for the passengers she travelled with. Yeah maybe it made her a little creepy, but it sure passed the time well. Then one afternoon, as Jade was quietly minding her own business and semi-stalking people, one of her 'characters' received The Phone Call. You know the one. It sucks all the air out of your body and leaves you drowning in a sea of your own panic, your own colossal helplessness. You can't see, you can't hear, you can't breathe.

Thing is, Jade's been swimming in De Nile, and she's been swimming there a long time. Like we said, Jade didn't really do reality, and with Nick Evans, things were about as real as it got.
