Do jQuery methods always return jQuery objects or are there exceptions?

Just finished watching Aisha's video on the jQuery object, and she mentions that jQuery methods return a jQuery object...however, I'm wondering if there are exceptions to this. Thanks for clarifying!

Methods and Functions are within an Object. So if you're calling a jquery method it has to return a jquery object. This will become easier to understand if/when you take the Object Oriented JavaScript course
