Realizing his mooks are useless, TIM sets up some trap to take you prisoner instead of just trying to kill you by brute force (he has deceived you before), after which they get you in a shuttle, (you'd be imprisoned in some sort of tech biotic yadda yadda field like the one we see in Purgatory), in order to take you to a Cerberus station where TIM is waiting to butcher your body, the same way he was interested in Grunt and Legion; after all, your body is full of advanced-maybe irreplaceable-technology. The shuttle is rammed by Jack's pirate gang. They kill everyone except one guy so he can tell the flight control codes to the security personnel to get the shuttle into the station. She helps you wreak havoc in that mission. Then you split ways because of her current crew and because she isn't really into the shiny world saving hero thing.
I'd like it if someone former squadmate saved you from an impossible situation. Might as well be Jack.
i can be cool with jack showing up to "rescue" me at some point.
but only if the following dialogue can happen.
*jack shows up*
Shep: "what are you doing here?"
Jack: "you seem to be in trouble and i thought i'd come and save you"
Shep: "**** you sound like a *****"
Jack "<_<"
