### "Patrons of the Jaunt" (1x1)

When Emeran and Autumn make their way into the Jaunt and ask Joy if it's okay for them to play she seemed melancholy. Later, Joy scolds Mix for trying to give out a free milkshake to Astraea creating a bit of an awkward moment that Joy diffuses by giving the drink for free, apologizing. When Barry Lemongrass arrives at the Jaunt and gives out free bread, Joy shares a moment with him, hugging him and thanking him profusely, causing her to almost break down into tears. After the Kegger attack, Joy and her sister Seren explain to the Patrons that the Keggers kidnapped their brother Ziggy and are holding him hostage until the sisters can pay 1,000 gold pieces. After the group decides to help she gives them the names of a few local places and a few ways to make money.

### "Getting to the Bottom of It" (1x2)

After the Patrons discovered the hidden tunnel underneath the Jaunt they went to the Southern Stockade to ask Seren and Joy about it.

### "Rotten Ronnie" (1x3)

The Patrons returned Ziggy back to Seren and Joy, who begin to sob and clutch their brother. They are informed that he was forced to relapse his addiction to Dust, which the sisters count as a blessing, he is alive now, and has beat the addiction before. Joy and Seren thank the Patrons, offering them permanent rooms at the Jaunt as a reward.

### "We're Revolutionaries" (1x4)

The group returned to the Jaunt to see that the place was alive with activity and Seren and Joy working tirelessly to keep up with the foot traffic. Apparently, the community had come back together upon hearing what bad fortune had been befalling the Triplets, and hearing about Ziggy's return. Joy gave the group a sum of money that was collected by the other townfolks as a show of thanks. Since the rooms were books for the night Joy rented out rooms at the Copper Cup Inn for the party, which they all settled into after some drinking and helping around the bar.

### "A Gift of Rest" (1x16)

Joy is first to greet the party after they made their way back to the surface. She informs the group that they missed Gifting Week and informed them about the holiday, and tells them that each of the Triplets left gifts in the Patrons rooms.
