## Personality

Jonah is popular, athletic, and friendly. Jonah is passionate about frisbee and will defend its status as a real sport. He is fun and positive and easy-going, says silly things like "docious magocious," and loves to tease. He was very supportive when he found out Andi's secret and even confronted his girlfriend for not respecting Andi and Bex. Jonah is social and charming, winning people over easily with the flash of a dimple. Cyrus is surprised several times that the "cool" Jonah Beck wants to talk to him and be his friend. Jonah has many friends, both boys and girls, which causes Andi to become jealous in You're the One That I Want. In Season 1, he is rarely seen without a smile.

However, as the Good Hair Crew get to know Jonah better, they realize he isn't this happy-go-lucky, seemingly perfect person they thought he was. Jonah can also be very oblivious, be it towards Cyrus or Andi or whatever general situation he's in and comes across as a bit of an airhead. He admits he likes the attention he gets. His initial relationship with Amber was forced and toxic, and it turns out Amber was cheating on him anyway. Jonah has issues in his relationships as a result; he is reluctant to use labels and commit to "boyfriend/girlfriend things." He changes his mind frequently and is constantly cycling in and out relationships with different girls. He also can be rather jealous and needy, particularly when he is feeling insecure or is trying to cope with his problems. When things in his life grow unstable and scary, he will return to someone or something familiar in the hopes of finding security and comfort.

Jonah doesn't like to talk about his feelings at first. At Cyrus' bar mitzvah, Jonah suffers from a panic attack for the first time. He tries to hide them and assumes Andi's rejection caused it. Bowie advises Jonah to try guitar to help settle his nerves, so he turns to his relationship with Andi and music as coping mechanisms. However, his panic attacks continue, but his friends, who eventually learn of them, are there to comfort him and assure him they're nothing to be ashamed of. Over time, Jonah becomes less happy-go-lucky but much more real. He is no longer afraid to talk about his feelings and problems as he finds true friends in Andi, Cyrus, and Buffy. He's also more relaxed in a lot of ways, not taking things such as frisbee too seriously and he's able to joke around with his friends.

## Physical Appearance

He has brown hair, green eyes, and dimples. He dresses like a typical 14-year old, usually wearing casual shirts and jeans.

#### She Said, She Said

Jonah is devastated when Andi tells him that she saw Amber with another boy. Instead of owning up to it, Amber uses Jonah's phone to text Andi, who runs as fast as she can to reach Jonah. According to Amber, this proves that Andi likes Jonah and therefore lied about Amber cheating. Jonah tries to give Amber the benefit of doubt, implying that Andi misread the situation.

When Jonah goes to Andi's house to ask her to join the team in watching the game videos recorded, he finds Andi going through his profile online. Andi gets embarrassed and hides from him. He also sends a text to Cyrus saying "U R Girly" which makes Cyrus insecure. Cyrus enlists Buffy to help him look and act more manly to impress Jonah Beck. Later on, Jonah says that he likes Cyrus' usual look and he meant to say "U R Gnarly" but it got auto-corrected.

#### She's Turning Into You

Jonah struggles to get Amber a birthday gift. He is so distracted that he even goes past Andi without saying hi to her, causing Buffy and Cyrus to think he's ghosting Andi. When Andi goes to talk to him, he reveals that it's Amber's birthday and he's stressing over the perfect gift to get her. She never seems to like any gift he gives her. So, Andi takes Jonah to The Fringe for gift ideas. Bex asks Jonah to give Amber makeup as a gift and then takes the opportunity to give Andi make up in front of Jonah, hoping that he will notice how beautiful she is. Jonah says she's really pretty. Amber loves Jonah's gift but unfortunately doesn't like his card. She gives him a second chance by making him go back and write a more personal message on the card. Jonah asks Andi for help and Andi promises to help him later. He tells her that she's a great pal and that doesn't sit very well with Andi. So, Andi hides from him. Jonah is left stressing over what to do with Amber's gift.

They even buy matching jackets and plan to wear them together the following day. Cyrus puts on the jacket but Jonah refuses to wear it, saying that it makes them look like dorks. Cyrus walks away from Jonah heartbroken.

#### Were We Ever?

It's Jefferson Middle School's picture day and Jonah is very excited for his Space Otters Frisbee Team to get their first team photo. He finds Andi and other students protesting against the unreasonable dress code and he's clueless what's going on. Andi explains to him that they're wearing prison outfits to protest against the dress code because it's like being in prison. Jonah pays little attention and emphasizes on reminding Andi not to miss the Space Otters team photo. When Andi shows up for the team photo in the prison outfit, Jonah insists that she should change and put on the Space Otters jersey. Andi tells him how important the protest is but Jonah insists on how important Space Otters is for him. So, Andi makes it simple: if Jonah can tell her why she's wearing the prison outfit, then she will change into her Space Otters jersey for the photo. Jonah can't remember. Andi walks away.

When the protest causes the school photos to be canceled, Jonah comes to Andi and apologizes for being preoccupied with Space Otters. He tells Andi that they're doing a retake of the team photo tomorrow and wants Andi to be there. Andi tells him that she doesn't want to take the photo with the team. In fact, she doesn't want to be part of the team at all. She only joined the team because of Jonah Beck. And she does everything Jonah asks her to do just because he's the one asking. She does so many favors for him including getting birthday gifts for his girlfriend, Amber. Enough is enough. Andi needs to stand up for herself and go after what she wants, not what Jonah wants. Jonah asks Andi if they could still be friends after she leaves the team but asks him if they were ever really friends. Jonah is left confused and sad at the same time.

#### Best Surprise Ever

Jonah is still very upset about Andi leaving the Space Otters team. To make matters worse, Amber's friends make fun of Space Otters, complaining that Ultimate Frisbee is not a real sport. Amber fails to defend Jonah. When Andi comes to The Spoon Diner, Jonah says hi to her but she blows him off. When Andi leaves the diner, Jonah follows her out. Amber tells Jonah that he only left because he likes Andi and Andi likes him back. Amber tells Jonah if Andi looks back, it means she likes him but Jonah doesn't want to wait to see. So he leaves. Both Andi and Cyrus look back. Jonah goes to Cyrus to figure out what's going on with Andi and Cyrus wants to help but Andi is not willing to let them like Jonah again. Cyrus tries to cheer him up by telling him about the Space Otters game but Jonah is too upset to even go. So, he asks Cyrus to tell everyone on the team that the game is canceled.

To end all the stress, Jonah decides to break up with Amber. Amber blames Andi for "manipulating" Jonah into breaking up with her but Jonah says it has nothing to do with Andi and Amber is the manipulative one. Jonah asks Amber to give back Andi's bracelet, the one she took away from him. Amber walks away, threatening Jonah.

### Season 2

During the Space Otters party, Jonah announces a special award to Cyrus Goodman as the MVP of the team for all his support. After the party, Jonah tells Andi about the break up with Amber. He admits that he likes being around Andi. Andi gives him the bracelet back, saying that it belongs to him now.

Later, Jonah finds out that Amber is now working as a waitress at The Spoon Diner and goes to talk to her. Amber opens up to him about her financial and family situation.

Jonah goes to change but comes to the party wearing a white shirt instead of a red one since he doesn't understand anything about the Chinese culture. Ham gives him a red shirt instead. Bex and Andi tell CeCe that Jonah is just one of Andi's friends but CeCe is skeptical because she already knows all of Andi's friends. During the feast, Jonah struggles to avoid Andi's cousin Ronald the Magician. He also starts getting hungry because he hadn't eaten. But Andi tells him to wait for the festival rituals to end first.

He tells Andi that wearing a bracelet would make it look like they're boyfriend and girlfriend. He tells Andi that he doesn't like labels. He reveals that he was only calling Amber "girlfriend" because she made him do that. It turns out, Jonah never really thought of Andi as his girlfriend. To him, she was just a friend.

Andi mentions that not even dating someone else could break it. Jonah's look makes Andi suspicious that he might be seeing someone else already.

#### The New Girls

Jonah has a new girlfriend, Libby, but since she's deaf and he doesn't know sign language, their conversations consist mainly of texting. Andi notices Libby before Jonah has the chance to introduce them. She tries calling to Libby but Libby doesn't respond. Andi thinks Libby is icing her, but Jonah explains that Libby is deaf. He officially introduces Libby to Andi at The Spoon. Since Andi knows basic sign language, she can communicate with Libby more than Jonah ever could. They also both love arts and crafts, so Andi invites Libby to Andi Shack, ditching Jonah and essentially stealing his date. Before they leave, Jonah tells Andi to say nice things about him to Libby. This doesn't quite work as Libby asks Andi why she and Jonah broke up, leading Libby to the conclusion that Jonah is cute but boring. Andi begs her not to break up with Jonah as he approaches them. He asks what they're up to, to which Andi responds with an "um."

#### I Got Your Number

Cyrus invites Jonah to his house to play ping-pong. Cyrus is surprisingly good at ping-pong, beating Jonah. TJ arrives, greeting and complimenting Cyrus and offering to play the winner. Jonah suddenly wants to leave, coming up with the excuse that he has a haircut appointment. TJ and Cyrus tease him for being upset about losing, but Jonah reveals that he has a problem with TJ. Cyrus clarifies that they worked out the gun situation, but Jonah doesn't care about that and leaves without an explanation. TJ has no idea what he did. Jonah later complains to Cyrus about TJ's presence, and Cyrus is confused, as Jonah usually likes everyone. Cyrus says TJ could do with some friends after losing his over the gun thing, but Jonah swears he'll never be friends with TJ and reveals that his grudge goes back to when they were in Little League together and TJ stole Jonah's jersey.

Jonah idolized Roberto Clemente as a child, thus he wanted to have the number 21 on his jersey. However, TJ took his jersey. Jonah tried to call TJ out on it, but TJ insisted the jersey was his. Jonah threatened to tell on him, but TJ mocked him because the coach was Jonah's dad and for getting so upset over a jersey. Jonah says there's no crying in baseball, but Cyrus says that's just a line from a movie. Jonah ended up shoving TJ, and TJ shoved him back. Coach Beck broke up the fight, and Jonah had to watch TJ wear his 21 jersey for the rest of the season, causing him to quit the following year. TJ grew into a star athlete who excels in multiple sports while Jonah pursued frisbee instead. Jonah admits the grudge is stupid, but Cyrus disagrees as Jonah's life could've gone differently if he hadn't quit baseball. Jonah thinks TJ is and has always been mean, but Cyrus insists he isn't anymore.

Jonah wants to drop it, but Cyrus doesn't, bringing TJ and Jonah back to his house to talk things out. Jonah just wants to let it go, but TJ insists he never took his jersey and doesn't want him to think he did, and the two start bickering over what really happened. Cyrus settles the dispute by pulling up a photo of their Little League team, revealing that TJ did take the jersey but by mistake. TJ explains that he thought the jersey said 12. Jonah doesn't get it, so TJ opens up about his dyscalculia and offers an apology. Jonah offers an apology back for holding onto this grudge and thanks TJ for helping him at Cyrus' bar mitzvah, opening up about his panic attacks. The two bond over their respective issues, thus ending their conflict.

#### The Quacks

Jonah, Libby, Andi, and Cyrus go to support the Spikes' first game. Libby tells Andi she still wants to break up with Jonah. Jonah is worried that something is wrong as Libby is acting cold towards him. He asks Cyrus to interpret for him and the problem is that Jonah hasn't bothered to learn any sign language. Jonah admits to Cyrus that he is nervous to use sign language because he doesn't want to make a fool of himself, but Cyrus points out that at least *trying* to learn would show Libby he actually cares about her. Jonah later approaches Libby. Libby picks up her phone, but Jonah surprises her. He signs to Libby, asking her to teach him sign language, and she agrees. She speaks and signs that she likes him, and he returns the gesture. They link pinkies as she teaches him how to say "too."

#### One in a Minyan

Jonah visits Cyrus as he sits shiva for his Bubbe Rose. Cyrus explains the Jewish tradition to his friends and tells Jonah about memories with his grandmother. Rabbi Hurwitz invites Jonah to join the men as they pray in a minyan. Later, Cyrus finds him in the midst of a severe and unexpected panic attack. Cyrus sits with him through it until he finally calms down. Jonah wishes that Cyrus were there for all his panic attacks. He apologizes when he realizes that wouldn't be fun for Cyrus, but Cyrus is flattered. Jonah admits he never knew how much he needed a friend like Cyrus. Jonah asks why Cyrus was looking for him, but Cyrus brushes it aside. At the buffet, Jonah asks Cyrus for help on what to eat. As Cyrus is listing various foods, in a moment of bravery, he slips in that he's gay. Jonah, to Cyrus' relief, is supportive and says that's cool before going back to picking out foods. The ladies at the shiva try to set Jonah up with their daughters. Cyrus says to Buffy and Andi that he won't tell Jonah he used to like him, but he also never even thought Jonah would know who he was or that they'd be friends.

#### The Ex Factor

Jonah doesn't order anything when he's with the Good Hair Crew at the Spoon, claiming to have eaten. However, Amber offers him a free meal, which he scarfs down. The GHC want to go to Adrenaline City, but Jonah turns the invite down, claiming he has homework even though it's a Saturday. Amber then offers him a ticket, which makes him agree to go. This behavior makes Buffy suspicious that something is going on between Jonah and Amber. At Adrenaline City, Jonah and Amber pair off, adding fuel to Buffy's suspicions. Cyrus grows suspicious as well when he sees them sharing a pretzel, which he describes as "middle school marriage." Andi isn't convinced.

Andi explains to them later in AndiShack that Jonah's wish fell out of the lantern back at the Moon Festival. The wish was for his family to be happy again, and Andi assumes this means the Becks are having financial issues. Buffy feels bad for assuming Jonah and Amber were back together; they were just probably bonding over their similar situations. The GHC decide to help Jonah by asking Bowie to give him a job at Red Rooster Records, but Bowie says he can't as their business is too small. Bowie doesn't know what's going on, so he starts to explain this to Jonah as he's coming out of a guitar lesson, which leads Jonah to realize the GHC know about his problems. He sits them down and explains that his dad made a bad investment and never told the family until he had to declare bankruptcy. The Becks lost their house as a result and are living with relatives. His friends are there for him and tell him he doesn't need to keep things from them. Jonah agrees - no more secrets... but his face says otherwise.

The GHC spot Jonah and Amber talking on a bench. They express relief that they have each other to relate to and that they're not back together as they were a toxic couple. Jonah and Amber then kiss, leaving the GHC in disbelief.

#### Mount Rushmore or Less

*Mount Rushmore or Less* picks up with the GHC having just witnessed the kiss. Buffy calls Jonah over to confront him. They press him about it, asking him about Libby and if he's cheating and saying they thought Amber was just being a supportive friend. Jonah says Amber is a supportive friend before clarifying he's not cheating: Libby dumped him a couple days ago, and he was too embarrassed to admit it. This doesn't explain why he's back with Amber or why he's in a new relationship so soon after just getting out of one. He says it just happened before walking away. Cyrus wonders if it'll be better this time around as Amber has changed a lot, and Buffy comments that Jonah is cycling through ex-girlfriends at this point - Andi might be next, to Andi's horror. When Andi asks Amber about it, she says they just happened to get together again because they've been bonding a lot recently.

Andi recruits Jonah into a Mount Rushmore costume for Costume Day. Amber waits outside Jefferson because Jonah didn't like her photo on Instapic and asks Andi to confront him about it. Andi tells Jonah he has to like all of Amber's pictures, even the makeup ones, so he does. However, Jonah later pulls Andi aside and says he forgot how much work being with Amber was, complaining about having to text her all the time and hang out with her friends and take selfies. Andi points out that Amber really isn't asking much of Jonah, nothing outside of typical boyfriend stuff. Andi tells Jonah that he needs to make a decision about what he wants and be assertive about it. Jonah takes this advice to heart, but about the wrong thing. He bails on Andi's costume, saying he's not a costume guy and that he never really wanted to do it; he is finally making a decision and speaking up about it. Andi berates him for not honoring his commitment even though he knew how much the costume meant to her and for not getting that she was talking about his relationship with Amber, not the costume. He apologizes before leaving a disappointed and frustrated Andi two people short on the Mount Rushmore costume.

#### Unloading Zone

Jonah joins Andi, Buffy and Cyrus in their protest against Mint Chip, a wasteful clothing company which throws away expensive clothes. They scavenge through Mint Chip's dumpsters for clothes and give them out for free. During the clothes give-away, Jonah inadvertently tells someone how they got the clothes. As a result, Jonah and his friends are arrested for giving away clothes they don't own. They are given 20 hours of community service each.

#### One Girl's Trash

Jonah has won two tickets for go-kart racing and invites Amber to go with him. He is surprised that Amber is actually excited about it but Amber says she just wants to spend time with him. While taking a break during the go-kart racing, Amber tells Jonah, "I love you" twice but she is inaudible because a loud go-kart keeps interrupting them. Amber thinks Jonah didn't hear her but he reveals to Andi later on that he actually heard her but pretended not to. He asks why it has to be love instead of just fun. He starts avoiding Amber to reduce the chances of her saying she loves him again.

#### Arts and Inhumanities

Jonah is still avoiding Amber and ignoring her texts. When Amber asks him about it, he claims that his phone was on silent mode. Amber asks him to hang out but he lies to her that he is busy taking chess lessons from Cyrus. When Amber asks Cyrus about Jonah's progress, she becomes suspicious that Jonah is lying to her. She confronts Cyrus to admit that he isn't actually teaching Jonah how to play chess. Now that Amber has figured it out, Jonah starts wondering what his next lie to avoid her should be. Amber overhears him and asks him to just break up with her. Jonah says that he's sorry and asks if they could still be friends. However she is not enthused by the cliche breakup lines. Before she leaves, she gives Jonah some advice: next time he dumps someone he could be nice, not drag it out, lie to them and make them feel stupid for putting so much time to him. He apologizes again, and then she leaves.

#### Something to Talk A-Boot

Jonah is at The Spoon with The Good Hair Crew when Amber calls him aside. Amber tells him that she is still not over their break up and that seeing him makes her sad. She asks him for space and politely asks him to stop coming to The Spoon for a couple of days. Jonah agrees and calmly leaves the diner.

Later on, Amber finds Jonah standing outside The Spoon. She reminds him of her request for space, and Jonah says that he understands but he has some news to share with her. Jonah reveals that his father got a job and they can now afford to rent an apartment. He says that he wanted to tell Amber first because she was there for him during the difficult time. Amber thanks Jonah for the consideration. She then asks him if he wants a milkshake and asks him to wait for it outside. She goes inside and asks another waitress to take the milkshake to Jonah.

#### A Moving Day

Jonah's family starts moving into their new apartment*.* To make sure that he doesn't miss Bex and Bowie's surprise wedding, Cyrus and Buffy come to help Jonah in moving things. While helping Jonah move, Cyrus and Buffy are surprised to finally meet Jonah's mother who turns out to be Judy Bartholomew, a funny mom who posts workout and dance videos on the internet. Jonah feels embarrassed because of his mom but is surprised that Buffy and Cyrus actually like spending time with her. Later, during Bex and Bowie's wedding, Jonah performs Bowie's song "You Girl." After the wedding, Buffy and Cyrus reveal to Andi that Judy Bartholomew is Jonah's mother. Jonah admits that he was embarrassed about introducing her to his friends. They start asking about meeting Jonah father. They jokingly ask if Jonah's dad is one of the hairy men in Judy's videos and Jonah says he's the one on the left. Buffy and Andi think Jonah is joking despite him putting up a serious face. Upset and embarrassed, Jonah walks away, making his friends realize that he was serious.

We Were Here

Jonah joins in at the party Andi and Bex are throwing. At one point he talks to Andi outside and gives her the bracelet she made for him. She says that she’ll bury it so they never have to see it again but Jonah actually says that he wants to keep it because he’s always liked it. She puts it on his wrist and then asked what would’ve happened if they met when they were older, and he replies that someday they *will* be older, and she smiles. Then after the party he is happy to here that Andi got into SAVA while everyone else is a little sad. Andi then asks Jonah to take a picture of the Good Hair Crew to connect to the one from when they were younger. They then all come in for a group hug and each give Andi a hug with Jonah saying “Love you, Andiman”.
