## Biography

Zoey's Extraordinary Distraction
Jenna arrives in town one morning and greets her younger sister and Clarke family happily, saying she brought them all burritos. However, almost immediately after hugging her sister, Emily starts singing "Poison," indicating that their relationship is not as friendly as it seems. After the song ends, Zoey warns Maggie about Emily and Jenna before heading off to work. Later, Emily messages Maggie asking for help with Jenna, though they are simply hanging out in the living room together. Jenna bombards Emily with stories until Maggie walks in and summons Jenna into the greenhouse so Emily can sleep. Later Jenna and Maggie walk outside together, Jenna thanks Maggie for babysitting her, and the women discuss how Jenna might help Emily. When Zoey calls Max over to her mother's house, she mentions that Jenna and Maggie gave David and Emily the night off from watching Miles. The following morning, Emily marvels at Jenna's helpfulness, and Maggie says she is trying. Meanwhile, Jenna is sprawled out asleep on a chair. Though Emily says she appreciates Jenna, she tells Maggie that she should be wary of her.

Zoey's Extraordinary Dreams
Jenna loudly bursts into Miles' nursery, much to Davis and Emily's chagrin. When Jenna say that the room is boring, Emily pointedly mentions that Jenna could have gotten them art from Miles' registry. Jenna proposes that she do a photoshoot with the whole family and make a gallery wall. Later, when Zoey is having trouble helping Maggie find inspiration, Jenna walks into the kitchen and sings "One Call Away," apparently eager to offer her help. Zoey interrupts the heart song and suggests that Jenna help Maggie. The next day, Jenna walks into the greenhouse and leads Maggie through a few exercises to help her loosen up. Zoey later tells Max that Jenna and Maggie were so in the zone that they wanted to keep it going over drinks. After revealing that Roger loved her new designs, Maggie notes that Jenna helped her realize she could find a path without Mitch. Later, as David and Emily express exhaustion from Jenna's stay with them, Jenna walks in and announces that Maggie asked her to work on the house with her. Though Jenna insists that she does not want to overstay her welcome, David and Emily reluctantly support her decision to stay longer.

Zoey's Extraordinary Employee
When Mo presents Zoey's family with his Mo-hitos, they all remark that the drink tastes heavily of alcohol except Jenna, who gulps down her entire drink and then reaches for another. Later, Jenna eyes Maggie and Roger as they flirt from afar and comments on the interaction to Maggie, who denies it. While sitting in the courthouse, Maggie and Jenna continue discussing Maggie's interaction with Roger. At night, Maggie opens up to Jenna about feeling guilty about flirting with Roger, and Jenna says she's sure that's the worst thing Maggie has done. When Maggie insists that Jenna doesn't know her past, Jenna pours herself wine and starts a game of "Never Have I Ever." She takes a drink after admitting to spending a night in jail and is surprised when Maggie also drinks. The next evening, Jenna, Maggie, and Emily all drink lychee daiquiris, and Jenna jokes with Maggie about their drinking the night before.

Zoey's Extraordinary Trip
Jenna listens in from afar as Roger belittles Maggie's ideas, making a snide remark at him. Jenna expresses her disapproval of Roger's actions and says nobody messes with Maggie. Later, Maggie confronts Jenna about leaving fertilizer and a cactus in Roger's car. Jenna makes light of the situation, but Maggie angrily fires her. They get into a heated argument, and Maggie tells Jenna that her sister was right and it was crazy to take a chance on her. Jenna storms off. Later, Emily expresses confusion as to why Jenna is suddenly leaving town and "heading east," and Maggie says she thinks it's her fault. Jenna sheepishly walks in and returns some gardening tools to Maggie. Jenna tearfully says goodbye and leaves. Though Emily tells Jenna she doesn't have to leave just because of her fight with Maggie, Jenna insists that it's time. The sisters hug, and Jenna tells Emily that she left a gift in Miles' nursery. Maggie arrives to talk to Jenna, and they make up. Later, Emily walks into Miles' nursery to see the gallery wall that Jenna prepared, which leaves her smiling.
