## Biography

### 1993

A sweet, nerdy, unique outlier with two close-knit finds Mallory Higgins and Vince Fuller, Jeanette was happy with her life even though she yearned for more. She wanted to be friends with the pretty and popular older student Kate Wallis, but had grown comfortable with the life she had.

On June 21st, 1993, she celebrated her fifteenth birthday with her parents and older brother, who woke her up with pancakes and a candle. She made her birthday wish. She spent the day with her two best friends Mallory and Vince, and they made a pact that day to write a list of activities they must complete before the end of the Summer. They visited the mall, where Mallory and Vince left to get her a birthday present. Jeanette saw popular girl Kate Wallis and awkwardly approached her at a mall kiosk. She stood by her for a few moments before she moved to the other side of the kiosk and looked at Kate through a gap. She complimented Kate's bag, and the girl smiled and thanked her. Jeanette blurted out that today was her birthday, so Kate wished her a happy birthday. They were interrupted by Kate's boyfriend, Jamie Henson, who kissed Kate. Jeanette watched for a moment until Kate told her to have a good birthday. Jeanette walked away where her friends intercepted her.

They gifted Jeanette a necklace with a "you go, girl" insignia on it as a birthday present. She hugged them tightly and thanked them, though she watched Kate and Jamie make out. She cherished the necklace and always placed it in her jewelry box at the end of the night. Once home, Jeanette's parents held an intimate birthday dinner for her, though her older brother Derek had to leave early for a concert. Her parents gave her a framed photograph of Jeanette with her father, Greg, a few months after she was born.

The following day, the trio of friends crossed off the first activity on the list - steal a key to one of her fathers realty properties and play hide-and-seek inside it. Jeanette was picked to count and ventured to the basement in search of her friends. When she emerged upstairs, she was startled by the new homeowner Martin Harris, who she learned is the new Vice Principal at Skylin High. She distracted him long enough for her friends, who hid in the shower, to sneak out. Once home, she put the key to the house in her back pocket and talked to her brother in the driveway. Derek told her that fifteen was going to be her year. She thanked him and went inside. She repeated her ritual of placing her "you go, girl" necklace in the jewelry box, though this time, she placed the key to Martin Harris's house next to the necklace.

By June 26th, Jeanette took step classes with her mother though her contribution to the event was minimal. She watched Kate succeed in awe and felt surprised to see her wave, though Kate's wave was directed at Jeanette's mother. After class, Cindy confronted Joy Wallis in an attempt to schedule a girls day. While Joy rebuked the idea, Kate thought it sounded fun and complimented Jeanette on her necklace. Jeanette eagerly mentioned that the necklace was a birthday present, and she was gifted it the day she saw Kate at the mall. Kate remembered the meeting which made Jeanette happy.

Jeanette and her friends bought balloons to fill with water, but were advised by Ben, an older student, to use having cream instead. The trio giggled happily over the change and, that night, they threw the shaving cream filled balloons at the Garden Club Party. After their interruption they fled the scene. As Jeanette got onto her bicycle, she saw an emotional Kate leave the party through the back and they exchanged a long look. Mallory urged Jeanette to follow her and Vince, so Jeanette rode off.

On July 4th, Jeanette filled out a “What kind of a girlfriend are you” test in a magazine, before she examined her glasses. Cindy brought her a glass of orange juice and remarked that she loved seeing Jeanette's whole face and they should give contacts another try. Jeanette was against it as she didn't like touching her eyes. They watched a reporter, Molly Green, discuss Skylin’s annual fourth of July celebration. Someone sent off a firework behind her which started Jeanette and caused her to curse, much to Cindy's chagrin.

That afternoon, Mallory showed Jeanette and Vince some marijuana that she stole from her moms stash. She referenced item number nine on their list - swipe contraband from their home. Vince showed some wine he swiped from his parent’s house and Jeanette stole her brother’s dirty magazine. Vince asked if Mallory's ever smoked before but she hadn't, though she got a contact high before. She asked if Vince had but he hadn't either, nor had Jeanette. They don’t want to do it as it’s wrong, though Mallory claimed the list was full of bad things which was the point. Greg arrived so they hide the weed under a pillow. Greg told Mallory that her mom called and wanted her home. When she left, Jeanette and Vince talked about the weed being over the line so he suggested burying it. She countered that they should tear it up and flush it. He protested that Mallory would be mad but she countered that they're protecting Mallory from herself. She left to flush it.

Jeanette and Vince played Jenga when Mallory returned as her mother only needed help to find the remote. She asked for the pot back to which Jeanette nervously admitted she flushed it. Mallory was stunned that she flushed it after she stole it for their list. Jeanette was trying to help. Mallory scoffed that she’ll be grounded now and left. Vince Jeanette this would happen and ran after Mallory.

She confided in Cindy about flushing the weed, to which Cindy assured her that it was normal to outgrow friends. Jeanette wasn't sure other people wanted to be her friend. Cindy reminded her that Kate Wallis was admiring her, and they could be friends like she and Joy were. Cindy was homecoming Queen with a long line of people who wanted to date her, including Kate’s father. Even Rod Wallis was interested in her though she was married at the time. Joy, however, was awkward back then and followed her around. Jeanette didn't think she’s pretty enough for that but Cindy told her the good genes are in her too, the braces would be off soon, and she would be dynamite. She recommended giving Mallory a peace offering and told her about the fireworks, but Jeanette wasn't up to going out.

That night, she listened to the fireworks before she biked to Martin Harris's house. She knocked on the door and when no one answered, she used her key to break in. She called out for him but he wasn't home as he was at the fireworks with everyone else. She used her flashlight to guide her way through the house. She browsed through his book collection until she found a high school album. She examined the Widow Falls High School 1992 graduation album and found Assistant Principal photograph. She heard another firework go off. She watched from the window than ran out of house.

She visited Mallory and apologized for the joints and showed her list number 13 - steal something. She gave Mallory Martin Harris’s old yearbook, which shocked Mallory. Jeanette remarked that she does take the list seriously and apologized. Mallory remarked that she's impressed and they agreed to not be in a fight anymore. Mallory invited her inside and Jeanette eagerly agreed to pizza bites and a bad a movie. That night she returned home and held a joint that she had saved from Mallory's stash and pretended to smoke it.

On July 29th, Jeanette went through her morning routine as she prepared for the ahead. She planned to attend the Skylin carnival, where she would go on her first date.. She prepared for the date with help from Mallory and Vince. Mallory assured her the fair was a good place to go on a first date. She reminded Jeanette that she and Vince already finished this list item with a double date. Jeanette protested that it wasn't not the same as a one-on-one date. Vince revealed that Mallory and her date made out in the movies, though Mallory turned the idea down sharply. She then said they should get going before the good rides were ruined with puke. After barely escaping an awkward moment with Cindy, Jeanette, her friends, and her date Gideon headed to the carnival.

Jeanette and Gideon got into a ride as he asked if Vince and Mallory were her friends. She remarked they’re dope and waved to them as the ride took off. Gideon was nervous since she was the coolest girl, though Jeanette pointed out Kate Wallis, who was the true coolest girl. While she wasn't friends with her was getting in with her group. She pointed out Jamie who is the big man on campus. She lied that she knew him, which Gideon thought was dope.

The kids ventured to a booth where Martin Harris hung stuffed animals on a prize rack. Jeanette and her friend Gideon approached, and she introduced Martin to Gideon. Gideon explained that he didn't go to Skylin High as he's just here visiting. Martin remarked that he's new to the town too. Jeanette remarked that Martin was from Widow Falls which surprised Martin and he asked how she knew that. She lied that her father must have told her. He offered to let them play the game which they were both eager to try. Martin gave commentary on the game. Renee and Tennille approached so Jeanette purposefully lost so Gideon won. The girls taunted her over dating a loser like Gideon. Jeanette lied that she lied didn't know him and left. Martin watched her walk away concerned.

Later that night as the carnival wound down, Jeanette, Mallory, and Vince walked past Martin’s booth again and he called Jeanette over. He told her that she should think about Gideon since he probably felt rejected, humiliated, and alone. He wondered how Jeanette would feel in that situation. From several paces away, Vince notes that it was weird they were talking which Mallory agreed with. Jeanette tearfully apologized to Martin but he told her that he wasn't the person she needed to apologize to. She noticed the scrunchie in his hand and asked if it was his. He chuckled that it was Kate Wallis's and she left it at the booth, though he planned to return it at the start of the school year. She offered to take it as she'll probably see Kate before him. He shakily handed it over and she rejoined her friends. Vince asked if she was in trouble, to which Jeanette lied that he wanted to give her the scrunchie to give back to Kate. Mallory pointed out that she didn't know Kate Wallis.

Once she was back home, Jeanette practiced giving the scrunchie back to Kate and becoming her friend. She practiced in front of the mirror in an attempt to not be so awkward.

On August 15th, Jeanette gleefully set the table with pastries in honor of her parents wedding anniversary. Derek joined her at the table and teased that their parents would emerge any moment with messy hair and big anniversary smiles. Sure enough, they did and everyone sat around the table with big smiles. They toasted to many more years of happy anniversaries.

After breakfast, Jeanette headed out to the mall with Mallory and Vince. He wanted to see *Jason Goes To Hell*, the new *Friday the 13th* film, but the girls were against the idea. He pointed out that list number 14 was to sneak into a scary movie. Mallory rebuttaled that number 13 was steal something and came first. Jeanette was proud to announce that she already finished this list item with Martin Harris's yearbook. Vince planned to shoplift a CD but worried that Jeanette would ditch them for this list item, but she assured him that should would be there. She then pressed that everything Mallory had added to the list was illegal. Mallory retorted that big corporations budgeted for losses so this was a victimless crime.

Jeanette went with Mallory to a department store where Mallory removed the tags off clothing in the dressing rooms. Jeanette spied on Tanya Peterson who was in the process of fitting Martin Harris for a suit. She was unabashedly flirting with him, which Jeanette pointed out to Mallory. Mallory didn't pay it any mind and wrapped a plaid shirt around Jeanette's waist as it was a "free shirt". While Tanya was distracted, the girls snuck out of the booth and met up with Vince outside the record store. Vince's CD triggered the security alarm so Mallory ran instantly. Vince panicked so Jeanette snatched the CD and told him to run while she took the fall. He reluctantly complied and she was apprehended by mall security. The rent-a-cop took Jeanette to a waiting area where she shared a room with Jamie Henson.

Jamie asked what she was in for and she nervously bumbled that it was for shoplifting. He admitted that he did something in the fountain as part of a dare. She introduced herself but he smiled that he remembered her. He asked Jeanette if she got into a lot of trouble but she slyly said that she made trouble but never got caught. His interest was piqued so he moved several seats closer, but before she can tell him, Greg entered looking for her. He hoped this was a misunderstanding. Jeanette and Greg walked through the mall as he confronted her about why she shoplifted. She admitted that she protected Vincent as he would do the same for her. Greg decided to keep the incident between them since Cindy would call Vince’s Grandparents.

Once home, Jeanette sorted through her closet while she spoke with Vince. He couldn't believe she covered for him but she was fine with it. She found a thrill in almost getting in trouble but not. He didn't relate and was sure his stealing days were over. He was bummed over the CD but she was distracted. She knew she shouldn't talk about Mallory when she wasn't there, but she couldn't believe Mallory booked it out on them. She was annoyed that Mallory constantly pressured them to do what she wanted without backing down. He agreed which surprised her. He clarified that they shouldn’t talk badly about Mallory. He complimented a shirt she was throwing out but she claimed it wasn't “her” anymore.

That night, she snuck into Martin's house again broke into his music cabinet. She sorted the multiple discs before she found the one she wanted. She heard a sound from the front door and quickly hid in the cabinet. She witnessed Tanya Peterson and Martin enter the living room. She watched them talk and saw Tanya unabashedly flirt with Martin, coming onto him and told him personal aspects of her life unprovoked. Tanya swooned over Martina and admitted that her ex paid child support since he believed Tennille was his biological daughter even though he wasn't. Martin didn't want to know something that personal about his students as she brushed his hair with her fingers. Jeanette backed away from the door and bumped into the stereo which began to blast music. Tanya spilled wine over her shirt while Martin approached the cabinet. Jeanette quickly shut off the sound. Tanya thought she sat on the remote then looked down at the mess she spilled on her shirt. Martin left to get Tanya some supplies to clean herself up.

Tanya wrenched open the closet doors and confronted Jeanette on what she was doing there. Jeanette assured Tanya that she wouldn't say anything about Tennille's father. Tanya made a deal that they would both stay quiet about what transpired here, and told Jeanette to leave. She did and hurried out of the house before Martin could see her.

On August 30th, Jeanette prepared for her first day back at Skylin High School. She wondered if people would notice she got her braces off, but Cindy remarked they would. She was dropped off at school by Cindy and met Mallory and Vince by the front doors. He congratulated her on the lack of braces and how they looked, while Mallory was disgusted to see that Jeanette still had Kate Wallis's scrunchie. Malory pointed out that Jeanette wore it to the movies, the mall, and now to school as if they would ever interact with Kate. The girls started to argue when Vince interfered and put an end to it. The trio faced the entrance of the school. Martin Harris greeted the students and invited them inside.

At lunch, Jeanette, Mallory, and Vince go outside where Mallory gives them a “prank tape” which is the final list item. Jeanette is confused; they're still doing that, while Mallory thinks it will be hilarious. Jeanette notes that Summer is over now but Mallory presses that it isn’t over until the list is complete. Jeanette watches Jamie, Renee, Ben, and Tennille who are sitting at a table having lunch. He gets up to leave at the same time Jeanette stands, and he smiles calling her jailbird. Because she sat to watch the group, Mallory’s is annoyed, and the girls exchange sharp retorts. They plan to break into the AV room and broadcast the tape during class, with Mallory thinking her plan is foolproof. Jeanette questions her leadership but everyone brushes it off. Vince and Jeanette stand guard while Mallory sets up the video.

Jeanette keeps a lookout when Joy Wallis walks past, forcing Jeanette to hide. She follows Joy to Martin’s office. Joy storms in to ask Martin if he knows where Kate is. Jeanette eavesdrops on the conversation they have inside his office. She learns that Kate didn't come home last night and is missing. Joy leaves the office and Jeanette turns away so Joy can’t see her. She follows Joy and stops at the AV room door before going outside to join Joy. She calls after her and introduces herself as one of Kate’s friends, which Joy doesn’t believe. She volunteers to help her if she needs anything, but Joy coldly wonders what she could ever need from Jeanette.

Because Jeanette and Vince both left their posts, Mallory is caught by Martin Harris and given detention. She leaves the AV room and yells at Jeanette and Vince for abandoning her. Jeanette has news about Kate Wallis, but Mallory tells her to shut up about Kate. She calls Kate awful and way out of Jeanette’s league. Jeanette takes offense and Mallory asks what’s so wrong with her league with her and Vince. Vince asks what happened, to which Mallory reveals that Mr. Harris caught her so they have detention. Vince lies that a teacher came so he had to run off. Mallory imposes on Jeanette and asks what her excuse is. Jeanette asks why Mallory abandoned them when they shoplifted, but Mallory thought they were past that. Jeanette can’t get past Malory pushing her around and calling all the shots. She references that Cindy said it was normal for best friends to drift apart. Friends don’t bully one another, as it’s everything Mallory wants so else. She wants to make new friends and make her own choices. Mallory asks if Jeanette doesn’t want to be friends with her and Vince anymore, to which Jeanette states that she never said anything about Vince. Mallory pushes past them and begins to cry once she’s out of their way.

With school out, Jamie walks past Jeanette and comments on her not having braces. It was the best day of his life when his brace came off, as he had headgear and everything. He compliments her smile. She tells Jamie that she overheard Kate is missing as she wasn’t at home or school. She heard Joy report Kate missing to Mr. Harris. Jamie is surprised but Jeanette tells him that she knows they suspect the boyfriends first so she thought she should warn him. He thanks her but hurries off.

On Christmas Eve, Jeanette is at the mall when she sees Martin Harris going inside. She smiles at the prospect and bikes to his house, leaving her bike on his front lawn. She enters the home using her stolen key and shouts if anyone is home, presuming that Martin is the only resident of the house. She walks around the living room area and admires that Christmas décor, including a snow globe that sits on the television stand. She hears footsteps upstairs and panics. She quickly steals that snow globe and runs out of the house. She is unaware that she dropped her necklace, or that the footsteps she heard came from an isolated Kate Wallis.

Jeanette gets on her bike and leaves the property, while Kate peers through the blinds with a dark house behind her. She knocks over a nutcracker and sees someone in the yard looking back at her. Kate presumes this is Jeanette due to the necklace, hearing her voice, and seeing her bike. Jeanette, in the meantime, goes home where she places the snow globe on her dresser. She admires the out of tune jingle and the falling faux snow. Her bliss is interrupted when Mallory Higgins storms in, having followed her from Martin's house. Mallory confronts her and asks what she stole this time. She knows Jeanette has been sneaking into Martin’s house this entire time. She calls her a hypocrite and a weirdo. Jeanette gives her the snow globe and tells her to get out as they aren’t even friends. Mallory takes the globe and leaves.

### 1994

At any unknown point in early 1994, Jeanette broke into into Martin’s house one final time. She smiled as she looked around and walked through the house. She admired the home and was amused. Suddenly, she heard shouts from behind a locked door and stopped in front of the basement door. She heard a woman shouting for Martin. She asked if anyone could hear her, and identified herself as Kate Wallis. She asked again if anyone could hear her. Jeanette reached for the handle in a panic but froze only a few inches from the knob. Kate yelled for help again. Jeanette simply lowered her hand away from the doorknob and smiled.

Jeanette's 16th birthday couldn't have been more different than her 15th, as she was awakened by her boyfriend Jamie Henson who brought her a cupcake. She made a wish before they kissed. He ushered her to the roller rink where she spent the day skating with her Jamie and her new best friends, Renee Talbot and Tennille Peterson. The girls held hands in the center of the ring in a circle where they gossiped over Jeanette have sex with Jamie for the first time on Saturday. Jeanette happily claimed it was perfect. After a day of fun and laughs, Jamie brought Jeanette home where they tore their photo booth pictures in half so they would each have a half to keep. They are startled by a loud noise and Vince emerged from the next-door home to ensure they were okay. Jamie insisted it was a car backfiring but Vince was positive it was a gunshot. Jamie sarcastically welcomed Vince to Texas and escorted Jeanette to her door.

The following day, Jeanette, Renee, and Tennille go to the mall to shop. Renee and Tennille discuss how it's been nearly a year since Kate Wallis disappeared. When Jeanette remarked that she didn't know Kate very well, the girls realized that she didn't start hanging out with them until Kate disappeared. They are loudly joined by Mallory Higgins who sarcastically called Jeanette "Jenny" and asked if Renee and Tennille are her new best friends. Renee and Tennille shamed Mallory for making her own clothes, but Mallory congratulated Jeanette on boinking Jamie Henson. She asked Vince if that was on the Summer list. When Renee and Tennille leave to give the group privacy, Jeanette assured Mallory that she doesn’t know what’s going on, but she’s been here and that they pulled away too, but if she wants to talk she knows where to find her. She then hugs Mallory, who merely responded that she sounded just like Kate.

The trio sat in Tennille's bedroom gossiping when Tennille left to answer the phone. She returned in a state of shock to tell the girls that Kate had been found. Jeanette asked where they found her body but Tennille emotionally revealed that Kate isn't dead. The run to Jamie's house to talk with him, but Ben rushed outside to tell her to leave. Jamie ran out and, before Jeanette could say anything, punched Jeanette in the face, screaming for her to leave while the girls struggled to hold Jeanette up. She returned home where. Cindy put ice on Jeanette’s face but she claims it was a volleyball accident. The news comes on so Jeanette panics telling her to turn it up. It says that Kate was found after being abducted, with the alleged kidnapper, Martin Harris, having been killed in a shootout. Greg, Derek, and Cindy are surprised as they watch Kate be loaded into a police car. Cindy was just glad it wasn’t Jeanette, who cried.

Around June 26th, Jeanette convinced Ben to talk with Jamie and get him to meet her in the park at night. Jamie arrived to find Jeanette who told him that she didn’t do the things Kate is accusing her of. Jamie snapped that he used to know Jeanette but not anymore. Jeanette knows that Kate’s been through a lot so maybe she wasn't in the right mind. She was recused only to find that her boyfriend is dating someone else. She thought that the allegations were Kate’s trauma talking, which makes it hard to know what is true and what isn’t. Especially after watching the man who kidnapped her be shot to death. Jamie asked Jeanette if she saw Kate, and she told him to look at her before clearly stating that she didn’t. He doesn’t know what to think. She whispers that she never lie to him and they kiss. From across the park, Kate watched them kiss. Kate then made a statement to the police that Jeanette Turner saw her in Martin Harris's basement and did nothing, showing them Jeanette's "you go, girl" necklace as proof of the event.

On July 4th, Jeanette was visited by Officer William Kingsley and Detective Karin Anderson who wanted to speak with her down at the station. Greg and Derek arrived and Detective Anderson explained that they wanted to speak with Jeanette about Kate Wallis. Kingsley stated that while it isn’t needed but it would be helpful. Greg planned to get Cindy so they can be present. Jeanette, however, wasn't worried about the interview. She was taken the station accompanied by her parents. They arrive in an interrogation room which Cindy was paranoid about the intentions, but Kingsley assured Cindy that they just plan to ask Jeanette questions with her consent. Jeanette isn’t worried about it and consented.

Detective Anderson presented Jeanette her necklace and asked how Kate ended up with it, to which Jeanette admitted she threw hers away. Anderson asked why, and Jeanette explained it was given to her by an ex-friend before their falling out. She noted that the necklace is one of hundreds that were sold at the mall. Kingsley asked s why she thought Kate would lie about something so serious, to which Jeanette admitted it’s because she was dating Jamie Henson, Kate’s ex. They asked if the fight between Jeanette and Jamie was about Kate, and when Jeanette blundered, the police left.

The family returned home, Cindy told Greg that the necklace was Jeanette’s and that she just lied to the police, which made her wonder what else is a lie. Greg told her to stop as the rumors are just rumors that are spread by people bored with their lives. Cindy hoped so but she wasn't sure. Jeanette emerged and asked if they’re ready for the fireworks. Greg told her to take a seat and then told her about seeing Jamie and that he knew Jamie hit her. He understood that things could be confusing but it wasn't okay for anyone to hit her. She tried to deny it but he reminded her that they don’t lie in this house and she shouldn’t be near Jamie. She asked if mom knew about Jamie, but Greg was afraid Cindy will shoot a Roman Candle at the Henson’s.

Cindy, Jeanette, and Greg attend the 4th of July bash where she saw Jamie across the field. He ignored her and the other guests began to stare and whisper at Cindy. Jeanette approached Jamie who didn't want to talk as her dad would throw him through a wall. She tried to reason with him but he doesn’t want her to make this harder than it has to be. She told him that she was questioned by the police. He was questioned too, but he didn’t have anything to hide so it wasn't a big deal. She tells him that she doesn’t either and he has to believe her. He tells her that even if he did he can’t abandon Kate. She asked Jamie to get Kate to talk with her but he refused and told her that Kate can’t find out about the kiss. She remarked that according to everyone she’s good at keeping secrets. She walked away when he called her back. He confronted her about being the one who told him that Kate went missing and that she knew before anyone else. He asked how she knew and she told him to screw off and walked away.

On July 29th, Jeanette went through her normal morning routine when she found leftover braces bands. She promptly threw them away. She and Derek went to the annual Skylin carnival where she searched for Jamie, which annoyed Derek. He couldn't believe she was trying to find him after her hit her. He pointed out that Jamie was still with Kate. She retorted that was the idea as she wanted to speak with Kate. He told her to stop stalking Kate but she assured him that things were going to be different. He wondered what catfight they would have but Jeanette didn't want to hurt Kate. She wanted to talk with her in case Renee and Tennille were twisting their words. She was confident they could talk it out since Kate’s version of events never happened.

Jeanette spotted Kate near the Monkey Maze and called out to her. Kate and Mallory Higgins ran into the Maze to avoid her, though Jeanette started after them. Derek stopped her as he worried about the optics of the situation. He reminded her that as her witness, she shouldn't do this. She shrugged him away and ran in after the pair. She got lost in the maze but spotted Kate in the reflection of the mirrors, but when she turned around, she was gone. Jeanette left the maze shortly after and found Derek with a few of his friends, who left when they saw her. Derek approached and told her to drop this whole thing. She told him to be a good brother, to which he assured her that the Wallis always win whether they deserve it or not. As her witness he wanted her to leave. She went to hug him but he denied it since PDA wasn't his thing. He told her to stop chasing Kate and Jamie. He wanted her to try being the geeky Jeanette no one noticed, but she couldn't be that person again.

To celebrate her parents wedding anniversary on August 15, Jeanette set the table when Derek emerged. They heard Cindy and Greg argue, something Jeanette couldn't stand as she blamed herself for their fighting. Derek assured her that this was the fault of Joy Wallis’s smear campaign, not hers. She asked if he had to move into the dorms today but he did as he couldn't miss the pre-season. Greg entered and Jeanette wished him a happy anniversary. She tried to make small talk but it didn't go very well. Cindy answered the door to find a gift basket she assumed was from Greg. She thanked him happily until she read the card and learned it’s from Angela Prescott. It’s a thank you for setting her up with the perfect home.

Jeanette walked through the house when Cindy told her to take the headset off and sit on the couch. Cindy assured her daughter that she could tell her anything. She then told Jeanette that whatever her answer to a question was they would face it together. She asked if Jeanette had ever been inside Martin Harris’s house, though Jeanette took offence to the question as it was just stupid rumors. She wanted Cindy to ignore them but Cindy knew they wouldn't go away. If there’s any truth to the rumors she needed to know. Jeanette doubled down on her lie and told Cindy to change their phone number.

She went to the video store where she saw Vince and Ben close to one another. She greeted Ben and he returned the movie in his hand and quickly left for the gym. Vince returned to stacking shelves. He asked her to pretend she didn’t see them so close, to which she agreed. She told him that the secret must be scary though if that was what he wanted she couldn't pretend it didn’t happen, though he seemed happy. He was insanely happy so she told him to tell Ben they were all happy. She confided in Vince that her mom believed the rumors. He told her that she always had him and they pinky swore to forever. Renee and Tennille entered for movies. When the girls saw Jeanette it was quite before Renee remarked this was awkward. Tennille noted that she knew Jeanette called as she had caller ID and purposefully avoided her. Renee noticed that Tanya’s interview was playing so Vince turns it up. Tanya talked about being alone with Martin and how forceful he was. Jeanette blurted out that Tanya lied which angered Renee and Tennille as they thought she defended a pedophile. Tennille angrily stated her mother wasn't a liar. Jeanette tried to backtrack her claim but Tennille approached angrily to tell her that Cindy was a washed-up has-been just like Jeanette. Renee and Tennille left so Jeanette stormed out too.

A few minutes later, Jeanette looked at her makeup in the car while Derek got ready to drive her home. He asked what happened so she emotionally admitted that Renee and Tennille cut her out. She asked again if he had to leave for college. This prompted him to ask what her obsession with asking that was. She felt like everyone was leaving and felt alone, though he assured her that he would always be there for her - college or not.

On August 30th, Greg confronted Jeanette over having a key to Martin Harris's house. She insisted that she only used it once when she played hide and seek with Mallory and Vince. He had trouble trusting her but she promised she only used it last Summer. He pressed that she could have gotten him fired for her theft. She apologized but kept her façade that she never went back into the house. If the police learned about this from Mallory or Vince it could have serious implications, so Greg decided she would tell the police after school tomorrow. Later that morning, Jeanette prepared to get out of her car while Vince took photo of her. He wanted to document their high school years. She didn't want to remember the Kate rumors or her mom leaving. He assured her that it would all blow over soon. She asked how he felt about being in a relationship with Ben Hallowell, yet at the same time not being in one. He admitted it was weird but refused to let her stall any longer.

At lunch, Jeanette passed a table with Tennille, Renee, and Jamie. She paused as if to debate sitting, until Tennille demanded to know what she was looking at and called her a creep. Jeanette then hurried away. She ended up leaving the school which Vince noticed. He hurried after her and told her to stop. He didn't want her to give everyone the satisfaction of letting them get to her. She knew he didn't want to get involved since everything with Ben might come out of the rumor mill kept spinning. He was silent for a moment then said he would call her, but she noted that for his sake he shouldn't. She went home where she eavesdropped on a conversation between Greg and Cindy, where she still refused to come home. He hung up then spotted Jeanette and angrily asked who she had become and why she wasn't at school. She wanted to drop out but he refused, as she had to finish schooling. He pressed that she would go to the police station as her actions do have consequences.

On October 3rd, Kate Wallis did a national tell-all interview with Marsha Bailey, where she emotionally revealed that a few months into her kidnapping she was found by a girl who never returned with help. She didn't know the girl very well but wished she could go to prison for her sins, but since their are laws preventing that, Kate turned to the camera to give the girl a statement. She named Jeanette Turner, who she hoped would rot in Hell. Greg and Jeanette sat on the couch first in confusion as they watch the interview. Their confusion turned to disbelief when Kate named Jeanette. Greg angrily pointed out that Kate couldn't name Jeanette - legally, she couldn't.

### 1995

"*I have no one, I have nothing! And you want me to be more likable. So, you want me to be more like her?*"
―Jeanette to her attorney

Jeanette's seventeenth birthday on June 21st, 1995, was the worst one yet. Now complete ostracized by society and labeled Evil for her alleged crimes against Kate Wallis, Jeanette was left completely alone. She was awakened abruptly by her barely dressed father, who barked that her attorney was here. When she hesitated to get out of bed he yanked the covers off and she demanded a moment to herself. Before he sulked out her wished her a half-hearted happy birthday. Jeanette stared at the dirty dishes as her lawyer noted that it’s her birthday, wishing her a happy one. Denise hoped that Jeanette would feel more hopeful and apologized for dropping in unannounced, though it would happen as things pop up in her case. She needs Jeanette to cooperate as this will be a tricky case, but only by working as a team can they get through it. She presses that it’s Kate's word against hers. Jeanette asks if something has popped up.

That afternoon she re-watched news footage about Kate two weeks after she went missing. She rewound a section where the newscaster remarked that her friends and family described her as a “bright, popular, and fun-loving young girl” and that they “pray for her safe return”. She answered her phone and Vince told her that Jamie was sitting outside her house again, and he wondered if he should call the police. Jeanette knew but didn't care if Jamie hurt her again. Vince wished her a happy birthday which she thanked him for reluctantly. She asked if things are ever going to be normal again but he can’t remember when it was. She hangs up the phone.

She turned her attention back to the TV to watch footage of Jamie being interviewed by reporters two-weeks after Kate's disappearance. She is joined by Angela Prescott, Greg's new girlfriend, but Jeanette is less than kind to the woman as she doesn't want help from the woman screwing her father. Angela reminded Jeanette that she's here for her, but will not be spoken to in that way. Jeanette apologized and when Angela left, she broken down in tears on the couch.

The next morning, she poured an alcoholic drink and went back to watching tapes. This time, Renee and Tennille's interviews play where they say Kate is their best friend. She then changed the footage to a VHS of a 1994 News tape, where Mallory Higgins is interviewed about how conniving Jeanette became overnight, even though Mallory tried to be a good influence. Frustrated, Jeanette throws a pillow at the television. She ventured out of the house for food when a group of people mocked her and called her a psycho. In turn, she threw a pink smoothie at their feet then sped off.

She met with Denise again, being told they are only a few months away from the trial and have to talk about something that wasn't the necklace. They are concerned about her likeability, as they want the jury to root for her but Jeanette isn’t giving the impression that she’s the wronged party. The jurors want to feel a connection, but Jeanette doesn’t understand how they can after everything the people have done to her. People don’t whisper about her, they say it loud. Denise is sympathetic. Jeanette notes that her father spends most of his time painting over the graffiti on his garage while barely containing his contempt. The National Inquire did an article where they called her a Satan Worshipper while the Governor of Texas called her a disgrace. Denise calmly reminded Jeanette that pretending is the only way to win. Jeanette thinks they want her to be more like Kate and plans to be more like what they want her to be and less herself, which Denise thanked her for.

Around June 26th, Jeanette's legal team released a statement to the press that Jeanette was suing Kate Wallis for defamation of character.

On July 4th, Jeanette stopped a traffic light when Kate pulled up beside her. When Kate saw Jeanette she got out of the car angrily, while Jeanette gripped the wheel anxiously. Kate stalked to the car and banged on the hood and then the window. She demanded Jeanette get out. She yelled that Jeanette stole her life because hers was pathetic. She was enraged that Jeanette was going after her family’s money. She asked what other sloppy seconds of hers Jeanette could want, all while Jeanette begged the light to turn green. Jeanette glared at her when Kate called her a chicken shit coward. Jeanette ran the light to escape, while Kate screamed after her that she’s trash.

At home, Jeanette watched the news report about her suing Kate, and that Molly Green thought Jeanette was wired differently to be self-destructive. She went outside to scrub slander off her van windows. Greg approached and asked what the words “slam pig” meant, to which she ranted that it disparaged women and was another word for slut. He remarked that was wonderful and left. She went back inside to flip through the TV channels until she landed on a talk show host who slammed her for being unrelatable and a fraud. She changed the channel to a judge show where a woman cried about being the victim, not the villain. Jeanette saw that as likable and tried to mimic the speech. She slowly became better at the speech and she began to cry.

She read in her room that evening when Derek knocked on the door as he’s home with laundry. She told him about seeing Kate and he apologized for that. She missed the days when no one wanted her dead. They exchanged banter before she told him that a girl from Physics class called for him, Claire. He told her to take Mom’s calls once and a while. She left the house but Greg intercepted from the couch to as if she was sure going out was a good idea. He remarked that it wasn’t a good idea to leak the lawsuit to the press before they served Kate. Jeanette retorted that now is a perfect time as everyone would be at the fireworks tonight. He coldly remarked that not everyone would be there and drank another beer. She left the house while Vince watched from the driveway.

Jeanette went to the basement of Martin Harris’s house where she saw the boarded windows. Vince appeared behind her and confronted her about why she was there. She asked him to go with her on this, and reminded him of the first time they were here. She came down and got a weird sensation - not that something bad had happened, but something bad was going to happen. He pointed out that wasn't an explanation. She worried she unleashed something down here and if she did set into motion the evil forces then she had a responsibility to undo it or at least try too. She thought by coming back here she could reverse things to a time before people wanted her dead. He asked if it’s working which it wasn't. He told her about calling Ben which made her smile as she thought he quit that. He hoped time would heal all wounds but it didn't. She apologized to him. He asked how many times she went in the house, to which she admitted that she’s been there a lot as she got addicted to the rush out of it. A moment passed before she asked if there was something else he wanted to ask her.

On July 29th, Jeanette got out of the shower when Greg knocked on the door to tell her she used all the hot water. She scoffed that it didn't matter. After she dried, she joined Denise and Greg at the table. Denise old Jeanette that more depositions are coming up, though Jeanette’s flippant attitude prompted Greg to remind his daughter how much they were paying Denise. Denise asked for a moment alone with Jeanette. She told her client that she needed more people that are willing to testify that she was human, citing Vince Fuller as a good example of a positive deposition. She recommended Mallory Higgins but Jeanette negated the idea. Denise urged her to find good people.

That afternoon, Greg went to the kitchen for a beer when Jeanette emerged. He asked if she was going to say something. She told him what Denise said about needing people on her side. She wondered if her father was still on her side. He asked if she’s even on her own side. It was hard to tell by how she had been acting. She countered that this was hard but he snapped back that it was hard on him too. He told her that he had been on her side the whole time. But being on her side cost him his job, reputation, and family. It would probably cost them the house too. He assured her that if anyone asked him if she was the perfect daughter, her first word was dada, and she never hurt a fly - that he knew of.

Jeanette sat at home as she stared at a magazine that described as a psycho. Angela threw it away so Jeanette asked if she had seen the reporters outside as they were circling now that the trial was nearing. Angela proposed going out together and that she could be the one on her side. Jeanette was hesitant but Angela reminded her that she didn't have many other choices. They went to the bar that Angela now owned.

Angela and Jeanette arrived at the bar but she refused to serve Jeanette alcohol. She couldn't return Jeanette drunk. Jeanette asked what Angela saw in her dad. She admitted to seeing a good person in Greg even though he was going through a hard time. She asked Jeanette the same question. Jeanette tried to see him as he used to be, thought Angela admitted that’s a recipe for disaster. Jeanette pointed out the new karaoke machine which Angels proposed they try. Angela played a song on the karaoke machine and coaxed Jeanette to sing with her. Jeanette sung with Angela and smiled. She seemed to be having fun for the first time in a long time. She suddenly stopped as she leaned against the table, out of breath. Angela assured her that she was okay and deserved kindness. Jeanette didn't want it, but Angela told her that she has to leave the fortress she had built eventually - even for a moment.

On August 15th, Jeanette watches home movies from June 6, 1993, where her entire family had gathered to play card games. Angela watches from the doorway so Jeanette turns it off. She remarks that she's not sitting on the couch missing her mom, though Angela understands if she were. Jeanette, however, is missing her dad instead. Angela assures her that if he’s spending too much time with Angela she can talk to him, but Jeanette knows it’s not that. She should have stayed a nerdy nobody. Angela tells her that as a woman she shouldn’t make herself less for anyone. Jeanette remarks that this day used to be a holiday, but now it feels like a funeral. She leaves to answer the door and finds Denise who tells her they have a problem.

Denise tells Jeanette and Angela that Kate’s lawyers are deposing Tennille Peterson’s mother Tanya at Tanya's request, as she claims to have damning evidence against Jeanette. Greg snaps at Jeanette for drinking all the coffee, but Angela shows him a cup she saved for him. He breezes out. When he’s gone, Denise presses that if Tanya’s evidence discredits Jeanette’s they’ll have a problem, as it doesn’t matter if Jeanette has rumors about Tanya too.

Later, Jeanette ties her shoes when Vince enters as Angela let him in. She wonders if the lawyers are harassing him but they aren’t. He worries that he’s overstepping by being here. She assures him that he isn’t though it’s weird. She can’t believe that Mallory is an honorary Wallis, though Vince can’t blame Mallory for finding friends. He notes that Jeanette pushed him away, though she thought it would be best since she ruined enough lives. He asks if she needs help with her errand but she doesn’t. She then asks him to distract the reporters while she sneaks out. He assures her that he has her covered.

She goes to the mall and checks the changing rooms to ensure they’re empty before turning to Tanya who asks what she owes the displeasure of her company. She presses Tanya for answers on why she’s requesting to be deposed. Tanya remarks on how what she’s doing is illegal. Jeanette presses that if Tanya talks she’ll out paternity and child support fraud. The lawyers love a good story and to be sure about the story she’s telling. Hearsay is one thing but facts are another. She notes she can be convincing and tosses the clothes at her.

At home, Jeanette and Angela walk through the house as Angela wonders if she’s dating someone. She points out that Vince waits around for her to come home. Jeanette laughs it off and tells Vince of her claim they should date. Vince finds it gross since she’s like his sister. Angela leaves for work. Vince eats the popcorn but Jeanette isn’t interested. She can’t relax when Tanya is out there. He proposes a distraction so Greg volunteers to play cards with them. Angela talked to him so he apologizes for ignoring her as he thought she wanted space. They agree to play a game. Jeanette wins the hand of cards and is ecstatic over her victory. Greg and Vince want a rematch. The phone rings so Jeanette answers it reluctantly. Denise tells Jeanette that Tanya had nothing interesting to say but doesn’t want to ever know if Jeanette had something to do with that.

On August 29th, Jeanette sat on her bed reading a book when Derek rushed in. She asked what he was doing there, to which he retorted that was being a good brother. He dropped a stack of transcripts on her lap. He told her to read the chat. As she read she became surprised. She realized that Kate went to Martin’s willingly, and that such a revelation changed everything.

On August 30th, Jeanette presented the chat room logs between Kate and Ashley to her lawyer, Denise Harper. She explained that it showed Kate went to Martin's house willingly. Denise agreed that it demonstrated how Kate bent the truth. Jeanette knew Kate would never contribute to a narrative that painted her as anything less than the truth, when in reality, she's a huge liar and now they have proof. After her meeting with Denise, Jeanette went to a coffee shop to meet with Cindy, who had suddenly arrived back in town.

Jeanette opened a gift from Cindy, a necklace that she picked up in Paris. Jeanette was still angry that she was left behind when Cindy went to Paris. Cindy wanted them to travel together sometime, but Jeanette had plans to enroll for her GED. Cindy wondered why she dropped out of school, to which Jeanette snapped back that she missed a lot while she was gone. She was mad when Cindy forced visitation and when she packed a bag to see Aunt Susan yet never came back. Cindy asked if her daughter hated her, but Jeanette doesn't. Cindy told her to think about the lawsuit as she might regret it later; suing a kidnap victim wasn't a great thing. Jeanette was shocked that Cindy was on the Wallis's side, but Cindy pressed that it was a lose-lose situation. Jeanette cut her off when she began to talk poorly about Greg's parenting. Jeanette pointed out that while Greg might not be perfect, at least he stayed. She stormed out of the café when a photographer began to ambush her. She fumbled with her keys when Jamie shouted at the photographer and scared him off. Jamie than asked Jeanette if she could talk, but she couldn't as once one reporter found her the others were sure to follow suit. He invited her to his garage later but she had to leave.

Jamie drank a beer while she waited for Jeanette to arrive. She eventually did and asked what he wanted. He invited her to sit down but she wondered how he could invite her to sit down after when just last year he called her a bitch and punched her. He admitted that he regretted what he did every day since, and would for the rest of this life. He got caught up in the macho protective thing which was dumb. He apologized so she stepped forward to ask why he did it. He thought that he was defending Kate, as he didn’t have a reason not to believe her. Jeanette pointed out that he knew her as they were dating. She asked who he believed now.

Jamie explained that he tried to apologize last year when he saw the way people tortured her at school. He just drove to her but everything spiraled out of control. He was drunk and supposed to drive Ben Hallowell to the field for practice, but went to Jeanette instead. He collided with another car and was arrested for drunk driving. The other driver was fine, but Ben had a severe compound fracture that ruined his career. Jeanette thought was just more damage she caused, but he took responsibility for the accident. He woke up every day and somehow forgets for a moment that any of it happened. She related as once she remembered it ruined the rest of her day. She saw a tape recorder and asked about it. He explained that on Christmas Even in 1993 he got a weird voicemail that he thought might have been from Kate, or of some importance, so he recorded it. She insisted he play it and they heard heaving breathing while "till death do us part" played in the background, alongside an odd tune.

Jeanette hurried out of the garage and dismissed Jamie as she left. She ran to Mallory's house and banged on her front door. Mallory emerged to ask what she wanted. Jeanette requested the snow globe back, but Mallory snapped that she didn't have. She also wasn't sorry that she didn't have it and closed the door.

On October 3rd, the trial of Turner versus Wallis began. Kate rolled up to the courthouse in the back seat of a car and reporters swarmed her car. Jeanette pulled up on the other side of the entrance, so the reporters swarmed her car instead. Kate and Jeanette exchanged a long look through their car windows. The lawyers delivered opening statements where Nick Marshall represented Kate and the Wallis estate. After the hearing, Kate exited the courthouse with her laughter and family. She headed right to the car while the press swarmed Jeanette to ask if she thought 11 million dollars was greedy. Kate watched the team struggle past the reporters before she got into her car.

Meanwhile, Jamie and Jeanette had worked to reconcile their friendship. They met after her first courthouse appearance for the defamation trial against Kate. He asked how the appearance went. She admitted it was okay, but tomorrow, her lawyer would bring Kate onto the stand as a hostile witness. He asked if that was good for her which it might be, though it wouldn’t make people like her. Jamie assured her that he liked her. She held his hand and they exchanged a smile. The following morning in the courtroom, Denise Harper admitted that chat logs and evidence and publicly cross-examined Kate to prove she had lied about elements of her kidnapping.

After court, Kate invited Jeanette to Martin's house to confront her and their lies. At the house, Jeanette appeared behind Kate to ask why she wanted to meet there of all places. Kate knew this was where the truth lied, which is what they both wanted. Jeanette wanted to face the truth since last year. Kate knew 11 million dollars wouldn't hurt her but it would bankrupt her parents. Jeanette countered that now Kate knew Jeanette would win she wanted to settle outside of court. Kate told her the chats were a low blow. Jeanette angrily retorted that naming her on national tv was a low blow. Kate snapped that Jeanette stole her trauma journal and shared it with an entire courtroom which was cruel. Jeanette claimed that Kate ruined her life, while Kate retorted that Jeanette stole hers. Jeanette shouted back that Kate didn't even want it. While she read the logs she still didn't know the whole story, but did know that Kate was lucky that some secrets were buried with Martin Harris.

Jeanette asked Kate about Jamie, as Kate was basically over him when she went missing. But when she came back she claimed Jamie even though Jeanette was in love with him. Kate pointed out how Jeanette went to great lengths to leave her in hell just to keep Jamie. She also wanted to get down to business. She knew Jeanette snuck into the house, and not just to play hide and seeks; but on Christmas Eve in '93. Jeanette didn't deny it but also wasn't in the basement which meant Kate wasn't there either. Kate admitted that she wasn't in the basement at that time, but knew Jeanette saw her. Jeanette knew she didn't. Kate explained that the day Jeanette broke in, she was home alone and played with a snow globe. Jeanette knew that as she heard Jamie's voicemail. They suspected it was Kate but couldn't be sure as she was supposed to be kidnapped.

Jeanette crudely said the message was nonsense with the breathing and background noise. But when she heard the snow globes jingle she knew Kate wasn't kidnaped. Kate explained that the night she broke in she hid on the second floor. Jeanette snuck in and was sure no one was home as she saw Martin at the mall. But when she heard a noise upstairs she left. Kate admitted that she came downstairs and found the necklace, which Jeanette pointed out meant nothing in the end. Kate pressed that she looked out the window and saw Jeanette's bike.

Jeanette asked if Kate saw her face or just her bike, and pointed out that Kate lied about having held eye contact. Kate retorted that while Jeanette's face was shadowed she saw Jeanette's bike with the card on the wheel. Jeanette began to realized that the bike Kate saw wasn't hers, as Kate had only seen her ride the bike at the Garden Club Party; when she borrowed Mallory's. Jeanette revealed this to Kate who was in a state of disbelief, as this meant that Mallory saw her despite all the time they had spent together over the past year.

Jeanette explained that she went home after she left Martin's house, but Mallory had seen her go into the house and wanted to bust her. When she went home, Mallory confronted her about the break-in, so Jeanette gave her the snow globe. If Kate were to search Mallory's room it would be there. Kate realized Jeanette wasn't lying and apologized as she thought she was right. Jeanette asked what happened between her and Martin. Kate admitted they were friends. He was kind, fascinating, and Jeanette pointed out, someone with secrets. Kate slept over the first night which led to more nights, and then more than friends. Things escalated to a dark place but she still couldn't remember one thing. Her therapist believed that if she went back down to the basement it would unlock her memory. She asked Jeanette to come down to the basement, and Jeanette agreed.

The girls went to the basement which was empty except for a lamp and a bloodstain. Jeanette and Kate stood at the mirrors where Jeanette asked if she was okay. Kate shakily said that the night before her rescue Martin came downstairs to see her, but something was different. Something was wrong. He was vulnerable but at peace. It seemed like he had worked up the courage to kill her. She described the event to Jeanette in vivid detail, as she emotionally remembered that Annabelle was a gun. While Martin planned to kill himself with it, things spiraled and Kate fatally killed him. She told Jeanette that she felt guilty for having loved him, hated him, and killing him. She called the police in the morning and they presumed he died in a shootout because of his injures. She must have internalized that too, which Sylvia said could happen.

Kate believed she was the bad guy but Jeanette told her she wasn't. No one could blame her for killing Martin. Kate told Jeanette that she should sue her, as Jeanette didn't deserve for any of this to happen. She should take the money and start over. But it wasn't ever about the money for Jeanette. She just wanted to feel what it was like to be Kate. Not to be her specifically, but to feel popular, beautiful, or enough. She wanted to know what that felt like.

Later, at the steps of the courthouse, Kate told the reporters that she was kidnapped, but there was another truth she was certain of. Jeanette didn’t see her at Martin’s. She was not the monster the media made her out to be. She was the victim. The reporters turned on her quickly as their questions became brazen.

Over the course of a month, Jeanette went from being "the most hated girl in America" to "the Most Wronged Woman in America". She was invited onto the Marsha Bailey Show where she wore an outfit eerily similar to Kate's when she appeared a little over a year prior. Marsha calls her an inspiration and apologizes for the part she played in what happened to her. Jeanette accepts the apology as she’s just grateful that the whole truth had been revealed. Marsha asks why Jeanette walked away from an eleven million dollar courthouse settlement. Jeanette admits it was only about the truth. Marsha asks what her life looks like now on the other side of this. Jeanette has a great dad and a great boyfriend. Marsha asks if there’s anything else she’d like to say. Jeanette admits there is and tells the girl who named her, who could have cleared this up sooner but didn’t, Kate Wallis, that she forgives her. Jeanette smiles and lets out a chuckle.

## Personality

Jeanette is a sweet high schooler with a zest for life, but also an almost obsessive need to be loved. She yearned for the popularity that others had but never felt it was possible to obtain that dream, even though her father repeatedly told her she was special. When Kate Wallis disappeared, Jeanette saw an opportunity to become popular and feel what it was like to be the popular and pretty girl. She inserted herself perfectly in the Kate Wallis-shaped-hole in Skylin. She befriended Kate's friends and dated boyfriend, though Jeanette's relationship with Jamie was the first time she loved someone else romantically. She changed and became more uptight, losing her childhood innocence by hardening her exterior. She seemed to have it all and was the golden daughter her mother dreamed of. That al changed when Kate was found and named Jeanette as the girl who saw her months ago but told no one.

Jeanette went from the towns sweetheart to the most despised person in the nation, with people calling her disgusting and loudly naming their disapproval for her. She spiraled into a depression and began to drink, distance herself from her friends, and pulled into herself. She became obsessed with watching interview tapes about Kate's disappearance and later rescue. She continued to perpetuate her innocence in that she did not see Kate, and momentarily gave up on having anyone like her again. She blamed herself for the domino effect that happened around Kate's return and accusation. She dropped out of school as an act of defiance against her peers for whispering in the halls. When Kate retracted her statement upon a deep conversation between the two women, Jeanette took this opportunity to re-integrate herself into the limelight. She donned an outfit eerily similar to Kate's during her Marsha Bailey interview, recited words similar to what Kate said, and blissfully faded into the reality and life she had created.

## Physical Appearance

Jeanette is a teenager of a moderate height, slender frame, and full lips. She has a slender nose, fair skin, hazel eyes, and thick eyebrows. At fifteen, Jeanette had thick braces and wore her hair in a frizzy style with a honey brown to light blonde Ombre. She wore round thin-wired glasses, a black watch with rope bracelets, and her signature "you go, girl" rope necklace. Her fashion sense was very conservative but brightly colored, usually pairing a bright colored top with striped pants.

By the age of sixteen, Jeanette no longer had braces or used glasses. She straightened her hair and changed it to a honey brown. She wore waist-hugger washed jeans and stylish shirts, usually opting for a wine color button-up where she only buttoned the middle ones. She ditched her watch and bracelets and instead, wore a simple black choker and earrings.

By 1995, at the age of seventeen, Jeanette cut her hair to a short and ragged hairstyle that seemed self-done. She dyed her hair black, stopped wearing makeup, and opted for black baggy clothing to reflect her depressed state.
