You didn't start the DLC yet so don't worry about it. It's unmistakable when you get the chance to begin it, you'll know it when you see it.

Also yes, losing Jackie is brutal. They put in so much effort into making you care for him that when he actually doesn't make it out your heart totally sinks. You did the right thing sending him back to his mama, BTW. You can completely lose out on a truly amazing quest otherwise.

The game really opens up at this point, and not just because the map opens. This is where Cyberpunk starts to escalate into something truly all its own. I suggest chasing the other obvious branch of the main story a bit just because I think you'll find the major 'companion' to it really fascinating, but Evelyn's branch definitely feels like the natural next step.
