== Series ==
Jill Burnham started dating Michael Hewes after he began working for her at her gallery. Soon after his mother, Patty Hewes, found out about the two of them, she kicked Michael out and he moved in with Jill. Several months later, she was pregnant with his child. 
Late in her pregnancy, she accepted $500,000 from Patty to leave Michael. Instead, she used the money to buy Michael a car and put a down payment on a new apartment for them. After finding that out, Patty had her arrested for statutory rape, since Michael was only 17 when the child was conceived, and she ended up in prison.In this instance, the law in the show differed from the law in the real world. The legal age of consent in the state of New York is 17, and Jill would not have been liable for criminal charges without that change. Wikipedia.
When her daughter was born, Jill was in prison and Michael had disappeared, so Patty took custody of her.
