Jeff is present when Thomas arrives in the Glade. When Thomas starts to run, but trips and falls, Jeff and the Gladers laugh at this.
When Gally stops Thomas from walking into the Maze, Jeff and the Gladers join Gally in stopping Thomas from walking into the Maze.
At night, at the bonfire, Newt introduces Thomas to Jeff and Clint, who he says are the Med-jacks who spend most of their time bandaging up the Slicers. Jeff watches on as Thomas and Gally wrestle, before Thomas knocks Gally down to the ground, but Gally knocks Thomas down to the ground as well, causing him to remember his name.
The next day, Ben, having been stung by a Griever, attacks Thomas. Jeff and the Gladers manage to restrain Ben, see the Griever sting on his stomach, and take him to the Pit.
Later, Jeff and the Gladers banish Ben from the Glade.
The next day, Jeff watches Thomas run into the Maze to help Minho and Alby, who have gone into the Maze to retrace Ben's steps, when Alby got stung by a Griever.

In the Council Hall, during the Gathering, Jeff watches on as Gally insists that Thomas should be punished for going into the Maze to help Minho and Alby.
Jeff is present when Teresa arrives in the Glade.
While guarding Teresa along with Clint, tells Newt that he doesn't know why she is in this state. Jeff also worries that the Box won't come back up anymore and thinks the Gladers won't be able to survive without it.
Later, Jeff and Clint run into the Map Room and tell Thomas and Minho that Teresa has woken up. Jeff, Thomas, Minho, and Clint run to Chuck, who points up to Teresa, who is on the top of the tower throwing rocks at the Gladers. Thomas stops Teresa and goes up to talk to her, while Jeff and the Gladers leave.
At night, in the medical hut, Alby starts attacking Thomas, but Jeff, Newt, and Clint manage to restrain him, allowing Teresa to inject the serum she had with her when she arrived in the Glade into his chest. Jeff, Teresa, Newt, and Clint watch over Alby while Gally escorts Thomas to the Pit.

After the attack, Gally punches Thomas in the face in rage, causing Jeff, Newt, Minho, Frypan, and Winston to restrain him. As they try to restrain Gally, Thomas takes a Griever stinger from Chuck and uses it to stab himself in the thigh to regain his memories.
The next day, Thomas tells Teresa, Newt, Minho, Chuck that he and Teresa worked for WCKD and created the Maze.
