As the three of them made their way towards [[the Source (The Doctor's Daughter)|the Source]], which Cobb and the [[Hath]] both sought, Jenny spoke with the Doctor about the possibility of travelling with him, and he told her that he would never leave her. The Doctor told the respective parties to end the war, whereupon General Cobb aimed his gun and shot at him. Jenny jumped in the way of the bullet. She was shot through one of her hearts, and died, but did not [[Regeneration|regenerate]]. | As the three of them made their way towards [[the Source (The Doctor's Daughter)|the Source]], which Cobb and the [[Hath]] both sought, Jenny spoke with the Doctor about the possibility of travelling with him, and he told her that he would never leave her.

While lying in state, Jenny's body was revived | While lying in state, Jenny's body was revived. With her father having left the planet and believing her to be dead, she stole a shuttlecraft and left Messaline. When asked where she was going, she restated Donna's earlier description of the Doctor's life. "Oh, I've got the whole universe: planets to save, civilisations to rescue, creatures to defeat — and an awful lot of running to do." She then set off to explore the universe.

Although not considered a companion of the Doctor's, Jenny can be, at least, considered a "companion presumptive". It is clear, once the Doctor accepted her as his daughter, that she would travel with him and Donna. Her "death" ended these plans. This places Jenny in the same category as [[Astrid Peth]], [[Lynda Moss]], [[Madame de Pompadour]], and [[Rita (The God Complex)|Rita]], who were all invited to travel with the Doctor and accepted the invitation, yet died before they were able to do so; or [[Amelia Pond]] for the first twelve years after the Doctor invited her. Amelia's father-in-law (the Doctor's grandfather-in-law), [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian Williams]], initially declined the Doctor's invitation to travel after having accidentally travelled with him on one occasion previously, but later accepted a trip to Siluria, and spent four days in the stationary TARDIS. However, in November 2013, Jenny was included as a companion according to part eleven of the comic strip, ''Prisoners of Time''. | Although not considered a companion of the Doctor's, Jenny can be, at least, considered a "companion presumptive".

Although ''The Sun'', a UK tabloid newspaper, speculated that Georgia Moffet would appear as Jenny in one of the 2009 specials, she did not make an appearance. No further appearances of the character have been announced. Moffett did return to the franchise in other roles, providing the voice of an unrelated character named [[Cassie Rice]] in the animated serial ''[[Dreamland (TV story)|Dreamland]]'', and continuing to do voice work for [[Big Finish Productions]] in 2010. | Although ''The Sun'', a UK tabloid newspaper, speculated that Georgia Moffet would appear as Jenny in one of the 2009 specials, she did not make an appearance.
