## Pre-Season

Jake was a human experiment in Keller Chemical Plant's Project Wednesday, because of this he is immune to the fog that hangs over the town, and doesn't need a gas mask. He and Birdie, another victim of Project Wednesday, escaped together and Jake assumed the Guardian role in her life, taking care of her.

They met up with Earl and Hailey early on and grouped together for safety and strength, and Jake became Earl's henchman.

## Season 2

### Trespass

Jake is standing outside the Police Station when LaShawn Devereux jumps out the window, and he looks at him with interest. He is standing in the toxic fog without a mask but is perfectly fine.

He is later seen outside Kent High School looking at it with appreciation. It can be assumed that he followed LaShawn back, like Poe and her team.

### Attraction

While everyone at the High School is fighting the 'Freaks that are attracted to LaShawn's gangrene. Zoe Parker hears a noise in one of the hallways and looks but can't find the source. When she leaves, Jake peers through one of the windows.

### Secrets

While Anka and Oliver Keller are looking around the school, Oliver hears a noise in one of the rooms. He steps closer, but Anka calls to him and he walks away. Jake watches him go holding a knife at the ready.

Red finds Jake going through their guns and attacks him with his skateboard. Jake easily gets the upper-hand and puts the skateboard through Red's stomach.

### Trust Issues

While looking for Red, Diesel Turner and Felicity come across his bloody skateboard in one of the hallways. They split up, Felicity heads over to the skateboard and Diesel goes into the office that Jake is hiding in. Felicity screams for Diesel when she finds Red's body in one of the lockers and Diesel choses to go help her rather than follow Jake as he runs away.

Jake walks back through the fog into a trailer park, where he opens a tented RV and is greeted by Earl and Hailey. They ask what he found and he tells them he found a new home for them.

### Haters

Jake is giving orders to the rest of his group, as they are planning to head to the high school at first light. Earl, Hailey, Birdie, and another man are all huddled near him. Earl and Birdie get into a fight, until Jake cuts in. Birdie collapses and they all get up ready to fight off the 'Freak' that they realize is nearby. They kill it but others show up and one of their members gets bit. Earl starts taking his stuff and Hailey protests saying that he's still alive. Earl takes the mans knife and stabs him through the heart.

Jake, Earl, Birdie, and Hailey head into a diner, Jake going ahead to make sure it's safe, while the others sit at the counter.

After an argument with Earl, Birdie heads into the kitchen and Hailey follows. Jake walks in on them, and Hailey leaves them alone to talk. Birdie says that Earl is worse than the 'Freaks' and Jake says that they need him since there's safety in numbers. He tells her that she can't fight when she has her seizures and that he wont always be there. She says that they can take Hailey and leave Earl behind, since she could watch over her when she has seizures. He says that she's useless and that he would just end up protecting them both. Jake says that it's Hailey's choice to listen to Earl, and Birdie argues that she only does to stay alive. He ends the discussion by saying that his only goal is to get her to safety so she can have a normal life, and she turns exposing the implant on the back of her neck and asks what kind of normal it would be.

### Humanity

Earl and Hailey come across Sadie after entering the school, Sadie yells for Diesel Turner and Earl throws a knife into her leg. She falls, and Diesel runs over and helps her get away. Jake and Birdie meet up with Earl and Hailey, and Earl tells Jake to go after the kids. They run into the fallout shelter before Jake can get to them, and he can't get the door open. Earl puts a pipe through the door handle and smiles saying that the problem fixed itself.

Violet walks down the hallway and comes across Sadie's phone on the ground, when she bends down to pick it up she hears Jake and Earl's voices coming from down the hallway and slips into one of the classrooms.
