–Jenny, «Loud & Proud» |
Jennifer Diane «Jenny» Schecter[1] is a main character in The L Word and the main antagonist. She is portrayed by Mia Kirshner and debuts in the series premiere.
Sensitive and brooding, Jenny channels her trauma and experiences into her creative writing. She is a self-professed «dysfunctional liar»[13] and often loses herself in vivid fantasies, detaching from reality as a way to cope with her inner demons. Her tendency to wallow in her own «darkness»[14] leads her to lash out in deeply self-serving ways. To others, Jenny comes across as «weird»[15] and «complicated»,[4] while Jenny in turn feels isolated and misunderstood even by those closest to her.
Initially a fish-out-of-water from the Midwest, Jenny quickly embraces the Los Angeles lesbian community. She eventually flourishes into a successful author after numerous setbacks. However, her Lez Girls novel, based on the private lives of her friends, coupled with her delusions of grandeur and increasingly manipulative behavior, drives a wedge in her friendships. Yet, even in her worst moments, her best friend Shane McCutcheon continues to stand by her.
Background[]
Early life and family[]
Jenny was raised in Skokie, Illinois, by her mother, Sandy Ziskin, and her stepfather, Warren Ziskin. An only child, she comes from an Orthodox Jewish family that regularly attends shul and observes Shabbat.[3] Jenny herself is able to speak Hebrew.[16][2]

Sandy and Warren believe that homosexuality is a sickness. They have a very traditional Jewish family and desire the same for Jenny. However, Jenny does not seem to consider Warren her father, only calling him by his name and correcting her mother when Sandy refers to him as Jenny’s father. In Jenny’s eyes, her mother is a subservient «silent slave» to a man who disrespects her, and Jenny refuses to follow the same path.[3]
Jenny’s grandmother was imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust, and during her time there, a Nazi Unterscharführer branded her arm with a tattoo.[12] Jenny’s zayde (Yiddish for «grandfather») was committed into a mental health facility around the time that he was transcribing the Torah by hand; Jenny is unsure if him losing his mind caused him to try to transcribe the Torah by hand, or if trying to transcribe the Torah by hand caused him to lose his mind.[12]

Childhood rape[]
As a little girl, Jenny was gang raped by three older teenage boys in Skokie.[2][17] Jenny was so traumatized by the event that she tried to repress it from her memory, and as she got older, the memories became «blurry» and she could no longer differentiate the truth from her vivid imagination.[17] One of the boys who raped Jenny was wearing a t-shirt with a clown face on it[17] and as a result, many of Jenny’s nightmares subconsciously feature a sinister carnival theme.[18] Even with the memories repressed, the trauma subconsciously made Jenny distrustful of people as an adult.[17]
While the rape was occurring, Sandy and Warren were nearby reveling with their friends, who were presumably the parents of the three boys.[16] Sandy and Warren found out about the rape afterwards and were devastated.[13] However, instead of helping Jenny overcome it, they refuse to talk about or even acknowledge it.[3][13] While Jenny still loves her parents,[13] she harbors a lot of resentment towards them, particularly her mother who she feels should have protected or comforted her at the time.[3] Jenny believes that because her trauma was not addressed when she was a child, it festered into a «pathology» that made her a «dysfunctional liar» for most of her young adult life.[13]

Sandy and Warren were revelling with their friends nearby, oblivious to the rape.
When Jenny was in third grade, one of her classmates Miriam ended up in the hospital for three weeks after eating a wild mushroom, and Jenny has been scared of eating mushrooms ever since.[19] Jenny lost her virginity at the age of 13 (discounting her rape which was repressed from her memory) to a boy named Andrew, while they were in the back seat of a car with their friends Todd and Amy.[20]
Becoming a writer[]
Jenny is an avid reader and cites Anne Carson’s The Autobiography of Red and Eros the Bittersweet as books that practically changed her life.[7] She also considers The Gift of the Magi to be one of the most perfect stories ever written.[21]
Jenny started writing her own works of fiction at a young age. She created a literary alter ego named Sarah Schuster who she writes short stories about.[7] One of Jenny’s short stories, Thus Spoke Sarah Schuster (a reference to Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche), won her a major literary prize for Best First Fiction.[7] Upon Jenny’s introduction in the series premiere, Thus Spoke Sarah Schuster was set to be published in the next edition of Best American Short Stories.[7]
College and dating Tim[]
As a college undergraduate, Jenny had a literature professor named Nick Barashkov whom she once gave a blowjob to.[22] Although Jenny thinks that Nick is a «pretentious asshole», she values his literary opinion immensely and remained on good terms with him after graduation.[22] According to her college roommate Annette Bishop, Jenny knew how to use her good looks to attract the attention of their male professors, showing an early propensity for manipulation.[23] Four years prior to The L Word,[24] Jenny began dating Tim Haspel while still in college, much to the annoyance of Annette who had to listen to them have sex while she was trying to sleep in the same room.[23]
Jenny and Tim were living together in Chicago, Illinois, when Tim moved to Los Angeles, California.[7] Meanwhile, Jenny was completing her Master of Fine Arts degree at the Iowa Writer’s Workshop at the University of Iowa, and after six months apart, Jenny joins him in Los Angeles to start their new life.[7]
The L Word[]
In season one, Jenny arrives to stay with her boyfriend Tim. On her very first night in Los Angeles, Jenny attends a party with her neighbors, Tina Kennard and Bette Porter, where she meets Marina Ferrer. They start an affair and though Jenny fights her feelings and questions her sexuality, she lies with complete ease to Tim and everyone else about her infidelity. When Tim finds out about the affair, he forces Jenny to marry him but then leaves her, unable to come to grips with Jenny’s continued lying. Jenny later goes back to Marina, goes on a date with Dana Fairbanks (Erin Daniels), and briefly dates Robin (Anne Ramsay).
In season two, Tim decides to move out and leave town, his faith and trust in Jenny and humanity in general destroyed by her infidelity and unrepentant deception. Jenny becomes best friends with Shane and invites her to move into the half empty apartment. She begins a relationship with Shane’s former hookup Carmen de la Pica Morales (Sarah Shahi), but Carmen eventually goes back to Shane. Jenny begins having flashbacks of her childhood in which it is revealed she was sexually abused, and also starts writing another book while taking a college writing class to improve her fiction-writing skills. Jenny’s teacher accuses her of being a non-fiction writer because her prose resembles Jenny’s own past. Mark Wayland (Eric Lively), a filmmaker who moves into the house to help pay their rent, begins spying on Jenny, Carmen, and Shane with hidden cameras. Jenny is hurt when the truth is revealed because she trusted him. Jenny becomes depressed and in the series finale she self-harms by cutting herself with razor blades.
In season three, Jenny is sent to a clinic in her Illinois home town to begin recovery from her self-harm habit and depression. There she meets Moira Sweeney (Daniela Sea), a CIS woman who identifies as a man. They begin a relationship and return to L.A. where Moira comes out as Max and begins the first steps of his transition. Max’s hormone blockers result in his temper flaring and some aggressive behavior toward Jenny. Jenny later decides to end their relationship, citing that, as a CIS woman who identifies as a lesbian, a relationship with a person who identifies as a man does not work for her. Jenny also publishes her first novel, as well as writing a serialized story for The New Yorker featuring characters that are thinly disguised versions of her own friends.
In season four, the serialized story is turned into a stage play, then a film titled Lez Girls. Marina briefly returns during the play’s run, portraying Jenny’s character. Jenny realizes she is over Marina after being propositioned by her. Jenny also shows further unbalanced and manipulative behavior by adopting a senior dog to get close to a veterinarian who is the girlfriend of a columnist who gave Jenny’s first novel a bad review. Pretending to be distraught, Jenny has the vet put the dog down. Jenny begins pursuing the vet as part of her plan to ruin her girlfriend’s career. When Jenny is found out, she is accused of being manipulative and evil.
In season five, while filming Lez Girls, Jenny manipulates her way into a position as the film’s director and hires Adele Channing (Malaya Rivera Drew), an alleged super fan of Jenny’s, as her personal assistant. Jenny starts a relationship with the film’s biggest star, Niki Stevens (Kate French), much to the dismay of the other cast and crew. While on a camping trip, Jenny and Niki make a private sex tape which Adele steals and duplicates numerous times. Niki, who is a closeted lesbian in public for the sake of her career, is shocked when Adele reveals her plans to send the tapes to the media if she is not promoted to director. Forced to hand the movie over, Jenny asks Niki and the other cast and crew to join her, but only Shane stands with her. Unable to agree because of her contract with the studio, Niki refuses and sends Jenny into a spiral. Shane later sleeps with Niki, leaving Jenny heartbroken.
Season six opens with the revelation that Jenny is dead. The series then reverts three months before the incident, picking up from the season 5 finale, and slowly detailing the many ways Jenny alienated her friends and, perhaps, provoked one of them to kill her.
- Shane’s ex-girlfriend, Molly Kroll (Clementine Ford), gives Jenny a letter of apology addressed to Shane, which Jenny hides from Shane. Jenny also lies to Molly, suggesting that Shane has been hooking up with Niki all along. Tina and Shane eventually find Molly’s letter in the loft, exposing Jenny’s deception.
- Jenny has rough sex with Niki, putting on the appearance that she wants Niki back, but turns on her the next morning, explaining that her hurt over Niki’s infidelity with Shane was over Shane’s betrayal rather than Niki’s. Furious at being humiliated, Niki vows to get even with Jenny.
- Tina defends Jenny after the original film reels of Lez Girls are stolen, preventing the film from being released. However, Shane later finds the stolen originals of Lez Girls and shares that info with Tina, prompting her to confront Jenny.
- After misunderstanding an interaction she witnesses between Bette and Kelly Wentworth, Jenny accuses Bette of cheating on Tina and continues stirring the pot, apparently to create drama rather than out of any real sense of outrage on Tina’s part. She also shares a recording with Kit Porter that Jenny made of Bette and Kelly in what appears to be a compromising position though, in reality, nothing sexual occurred between Bette and Kelly. Once Bette becomes aware of the recording, she confronts Jenny and states that she will not abide any threats against her family.
- Upon hearing that Alice Pieszecki’s (Leisha Hailey) is writing a screenplay, Jenny steals her ideas for a play which sparks a feud between the pair. Alice tries to convince everyone that the ideas are hers while Jenny continues to insist that there is nothing wrong with co-opting Alice’s idea and turning them them into her own. The Jenny/Alice drama forces their friends to choose sides which makes socializing awkward.
- Jenny reveals to Dylan Moreland (Alexandra Hedison) that Helena Peabody (Rachel Shelley) and the rest of their friends set her up to find out if she is truly in love with Helena or her money. However, it eventually is revealed that Dylan knew about the set up all along and that Jenny has been harassing her for keeping that information from Helena. After the truth comes out about the multiple deceptions, both Helena and Dylan appear desperate for revenge.
- Jenny starts a relationship with Shane, but her trust issues around Shane’s fidelity push her to repeatedly try to control Shane. She further alienates Shane by tormenting Max Sweeney by buying him a breast pump for his pregnancy and purposely using incorrect pronouns. Shane has sex with Niki again, which pushes Jenny to publicly humiliate both Shane and Niki and brings the Jenny/Shane relationship to a breaking point.
Despite the ups and downs of her relationship with Bette and Tina, Jenny spends her final days putting together a film of memories for them after they decide to relocate to New York so Tina can start a new job. The film contains friends past and present sharing their best moments and Bette and Tina watch it with their friends during their going-away party. After Jenny is found dead in the swimming pool in their back yard, it’s assumed that she either fell or was pushed from the landing above the back steps, which is unfinished and lacks a proper railing. The list of suspects is long of course, because Jenny offended, betrayed, and hurt so many people but after the many interrogations, Bette later says Jenny died by suicide.[25]

Финал 2009 года посвятил много времени главным героям, которых допрашивала полиция о предполагаемом убийстве Дженни (Миа Киршнер), которая Найден мертвым в бассейне ее соседей Бетт (Дженнифер Билз) и Тины (Лорел Холломан) во время их прощальной вечеринки после того, как они обидели почти всех своих близких…
Соответственно, Кто умирает в The L Word? Хотя мы все были опустошены, когда Дана Фэрбенкс был убит из оригинального L Word еще в конце 3-го сезона — серьезно, одна только мысль о сюжетной арке теннисистки заставляет нас прослезиться — то же самое решительно нельзя сказать о кончине Дженни Шектер.
Далее, будут ли Шейн и Дженни вместе?
Дженни говорит Шейну, что это она разбила ей сердце, а не Ники, из-за их долгой дружбы. Она показывает, что любит Шейна. Дженни и Шейн вступают в отношения которые Алиса обнаруживает и раскрывает своим друзьям.
Что случилось с Китом в L Word? И хотя мы видели ее рецидив пару раз на протяжении всего оригинального сериала, ничто не могло подготовить нас к отрезвляющему заявлению Бетт о том, что Кит Портер умер от передозировки героина.
Что касается этого, кто оскорбил Дженни Шектер? Дженни потеряла девственность в возрасте 13 лет (не считая изнасилования, которое было вытеснено из ее памяти) мальчику по имени Эндрю, когда они были на заднем сиденье машины со своими друзьями Тоддом и Эми.
50. До эпизода, в котором умерла Дана, фанаты считали, что ее смерть была решением желания Эрин Дэниелс покинуть шоу, но в мини-документе после эпизода о сюжетной линии рака груди мы узнали, что у Дэниелс не было планов или желание уйти.
Почему Марина оставила слово «Л»?
«Марина ушла, потому что ей уделялось слишком много внимания, — со смехом утверждает ее персонаж, — и с политической точки зрения это было неправильно».
Дженни украла негативы?
Дженни угрожала блаженной связи Бетт и Тины, и в единственном удовлетворительном раскрытии в эпизоде прошлой ночи мы узнали, что она украла негатив Lez Girls.
Что случилось с Китом Портером?
После. Примерно через девять лет после смерти Дженни Кит попал в автомобильную аварию. Ей прописали опиоидное обезболивающее — очень сильное, к которому она быстро пристрастилась, учитывая ее уже продолжающуюся борьбу с зависимостью. Примерно через девять месяцев она умерла от передозировки героина.
На каком языке говорит Джиджи в The L Word?
Джиджи свободно говорит на фарси и часто разговаривает со своими детьми на этом языке.
Была ли Тина действительно беременна в L Word?
У Лорел Холломан есть дочь Лола Рейко Машери, которая родилась в ноябре 2004 года. Ее реальная беременность совпала с беременностью Тины в The L Word. Ее дочь появилась в сериале в третьем сезоне, в первом эпизоде, где все они поют «Привет, Лола, так рада тебя видеть», находясь в детском саду.
Почему Дана и Лара расстались?
Дана начинает встречаться с Ларой, но чувствует давление со стороны Лары, заставляющей ее открыто говорить о своей сексуальности. Когда Дана заключает крупный спонсорский контракт с Субару, ее менеджер заставляет ее оставаться в чулане, и в результате она расстается с Ларой.
Как Шейн разбогател в L Word?
Шейн — успешный парикмахер, которая возвращается в Лос-Анджелес после того, как жила в дороге со своим бывшим музыкантом и продавала свои прибыльные салоны. Раньше она была бродягой, валялась на диванах и в чужих кроватях так часто, как только могла, но теперь у нее есть деньги.
Марина и Женя встречаются?
У Марины короткие отношения с Дженни. Позже мы узнаем, после того как она уже покинула шоу, что Марина замужем за мужчиной; это, наряду с ее попыткой самоубийства и помещением в лечебное учреждение, используется для объяснения быстрого ухода актрисы, играющей ее.
Вернется ли Марина?
Нет, на самом деле, Марина физически не вернулась для перезагрузки «Слово L: Поколение Q» (пока нет, если какие-нибудь малышки из комнаты писателей Showtime читают). Тем не менее, ее влияние на финальную серию первого сезона заслуживает внимания.
У Макса есть ребенок в The L Word?
Макс не вписывалась в группу и часто выделялась из-за своего рабочего происхождения и мужественного характера. Слово L закончилось тем, что Макс ждала ребенка, и у обоих персонажей есть возможность вернуться в сиквеле.
Кто украл негатив The L Word?
The L Word, сезон 6, серия 3: Тине говорят, что Дженни украла негатив фильма для «Девочек». ‘
Что случилось с Хеленой в The L Word?
Но по мере развития шоу она становилась гораздо более симпатичным и популярным персонажем, часто служившим комическим облегчением своей пикантной индивидуальностью и выходками. Хотя текущее местонахождение Хелены неизвестно, похоже, что мама двоих детей все еще поддерживает связь со своими друзьями.
Кит Портер натурал?
Кейт «Кит» Портер: натуралка, сыгранная Пэм Гриер; главный герой.
Тина в новом L Word?
Лорел Холломан, известная своей ролью Тины Кеннард в новаторском сериале Showtime «Слово L», вернулась, чтобы поприветствовать новое поколение квир-людей, говорящих, смеющихся, любящих, дышащих, ссорящихся… в Лос-Анджелесе.
Дэни в The L Word иранец?
«Вы видели, как они смотрели на меня и мою семью?» Дани — светлокожая богатая чилийско-иранская женщина; Софи американка доминиканского происхождения и афро-латиноамериканка. Их аргумент демонстрирует, что хотя обе женщины латиноамериканки, у них совершенно разный опыт власти, привилегий и класса.
Кто Дани заканчивается словом L?
Нет. Выясняется, что Софи выбрала Дэни, но в конце концов они не сбежали на Гавайи, хотя Софи по-прежнему мучает чувство вины за свой роман с Финли.
Дэни и Джиджи встречаются?
Неделю спустя, после ссоры с Бетт из-за выставки CAC, Дэни идет на чердак Джиджи, и они впервые занимаются сексом.
Какой национальности Дани в L Word?
Ариенн Манди в роли Дани Нуньес, бывшего менеджера по связям с общественностью Бетт, бывшей невесты Софи и генерального директора «Núñez Incorporated» после ареста ее отца. Она иранка по материнской линии.
Кто муж Дженнифер Билз?
В 1998 году она вышла замуж за Кена Диксона, канадского предпринимателя. 18 октября 2005 года Билз родила дочь.
Кармен и Шейн снова вместе?
Да, слухи верны; Шейн и Кармен (она же Шармен) снова вместе на маленьком экране. Твиттер восхитил квир-женщин во всем мире, когда Кейт Менниг (Шейн) поделилась этими снимками ее и коллеги по фильму Сары Шахи (Кармен).
Тина изменяла Бетти?
Затем Тина узнает, что Джойс известна в лесбийском сообществе тем, что спит со своими клиентами, и прекращает их общение. Затем выясняется, что Тина тайно оплодотворила себя до того, как узнала о романе Бетт, и сейчас находится на нескольких месяцах беременности.
Сколько лет Дэни The L Word?
↑ В «Свете» (GQ 2×07) Дэни считается ровесницей Финли, которой около 20 лет. ↑ Поколение Q, 1×08: «Ошибка в суждении».
Будут ли Бетт и Тина снова вместе в 5 сезоне?
Бетт и Тина в конце концов снова вместе, а затем Бетт теряет работу; Тина внезапно становится руководителем киностудии Хелены, что позволяет им продолжать вести роскошный образ жизни, но их отношения рушатся.

The release of ‘The L Word: Generation Q’ leads us to a trip down memory lane to the initial series, which ends with the death of Jenny Schecter. But who killed the protagonist? A much needed recap, inside.

While we were all devastated when Dana Fairbanks was killed off of the original L Word back at the end of Season 3 — seriously, just thinking about the tennis player’s story arc is making us tear up — the same can decidedly not be said about Jenny Schecter’s demise.

Played by Mia Kirshner, Jenny Schecter has cemented herself in our minds as perhaps the most insufferable character of the 2000s, and most of us weren’t sad when we learned in the Season 6 premiere that she had died. (We were, however, sad when we realized that she still figured prominently in every single episode).
The final season teases the mystery of who killed Jenny Schecter — keep reading for a brief recap, and our juiciest theories.

Reader, we have watched the series finale of the L Word more times than we can possibly count, and are left with many compelling — if contradictory — hypotheses on who killed Jenny Schecter at Bette and Tina’s pool party. Indeed, each episode in the final season teases different characters’ motives to murder the protagonist and believe us, there were many.

Ilene Chaiken, the show’s creator and patron saint of lesbians, explained: «There’s one character at the beginning of each show who comes forward with the motive of the moment. This would be my reason for killing Jenny.»
After the show wrapped inconclusively, Showtime released a mini web series called «Interrogation Tapes,» via the official website.

In the web series, each character was interviewed about the death of Jenny; and while some new facts emerged about other characters (there was a Tina incest moment?), the killer was still not revealed.
That said, Tina had just discovered that Jenny had stolen her negatives and thrown her under the bus, Bette realized that Jenny wanted to tear her marriage apart, Alice was super salty from Jenny stealing her treatment and Helena also wanted Jenny gone for ruining her second chances with Dylan.

That’s not even to mention the fact that Max was super sick of Jenny’s constant transphobic remarks and that he was outside by the pool right when she died, then acted quite suspicious about it.

In our minds, the sketchiest people in the moments after Jenny’s body is discovered are Max, Bette, and Alice — though we kind of think Bette is the only one with the guts to follow through. Of course, there is also the possibility that she just offed herself.
In the last episode, Jenny tells Shane «What would I do if I didn’t have you? I’d kill myself.»
That same episode, Shane tells Alice that she and Jenny aren’t together anymore, intimating that they broke up — likely because Shane has found the tapes and jacket. It’s incredibly possible that Jenny could just have walked into the pool and drowned herself.

Ilene Chaiken was going to have Alice convicted of the murder in a spinoff.
However, following the success of The L Word, Ilene Chaiken proposed Showtime a spinoff called The Farm, a women-in-prison drama meant to focus on Alice after she is convicted of Jenny’s murder.
While Famke Janssen, Melissa Leo, and Laurie Metcalf all signed on for the pilot, Showtime ended up killing the show — leaving the question of who killed Jenny up in the air once and for all.
«We have to deal with Jenny’s death,» explains Jennifer Beals, who plays Bette Porter, and is slated to appear in the Generation Q reboot.
Don’t miss the premiere of The L Word: Generation Q when it airs Dec. 8 on Showtime.

Дженнифер «Дженни» Шектер (англ. Jennifer «Jenny» Schecter) — одна из главных героинь сериала «Секс в другом городе» (англ. «The L Word»), которую играет канадская актриса Миа Киршнер.
Описание[править]
Дженни Шектер — одна из самых неоднозначных героинь сериала. Не слишком импонирует поклонникам сериала за счет эгоистичного характера и двуличности. Большинство кинокритиков восхваляют ее полярный характер, уверяя, что данная героиня — основная причина для просмотра сериала.
Сюжетная линия[править]
Предыстория[править]
Дженни выросла в Чикаго, штат Иллинойс, с матерью Санди. Она не любила отчима Уоррена и хотела покинуть родной дом, как только сможет. Молодая перспективная писательница Дженни выиграла главную литературную премию, после чего один из ее рассказов был опубликован и она наконец решается на переезд в Лос-Анджелес, где происходит действие сериала.
2004-09[править]
С появления Дженни начинается первый, пилотный эпизод сериала — она переезжает к своему другу Тиму (Эрик Мабиус). В первый же вечер в Лос-Анджелесе Дженни оказалась приглашена на вечеринку, устроенную соседями Тима — Тиной Кеннард и Бетт Портер, где она познакомилась с Мариной Феррер. Продолжая общение с Мариной, Дженни начинает задумываться о собственной гомосексуальности и в конце концов вступает в сексуальную связь с Мариной, скрывая это от Тима. Когда Тим случайно узнает об этом, сперва он не желает больше видеть Дженни, а потом женится на ней. Позднее Дженни снова начинает встречаться с Мариной, пока не узнает об ее отношениях с Франческой Вольфф.
После окончательного разрыва с Мариной Дженни идет на свидание с Даной Фэрбэнкс и начинает непродолжительные отношения с Робин и Джином.
Во втором сезоне Тим решает уехать из города — его доверие к Дженни окончательно подорвано. Дженни становится лучшей подругой Шейн МакКатчен и предлагает ей жить вместе. Дженни начинает встречаться с бывшей подругой Шейн Кармен де ла Пика Моралес (Сара Шахи), но та позже возвращается к Шейн. На протяжении всего сезона Дженни вспоминает свое детство, в котором она подверглась сексуальному насилию, и начинает писать новую книгу. В связи с этим она идет на курсы, чтобы улучшить свои писательские навыки. Преподаватель Дженни, Шарлотта Берч, обвиняет ее в том, что ее проза слишком автобиографична. Марк Уэйленд (Эрик Лайвли) — начинающий режиссер и новый сосед Шейн, Кармен и Дженни, начинает следить за ними, установив по всему дому скрытые камеры. Дженни была очень подавлена, узнав об этом, к тому же благодаря записи с одной из камер она услышала взаимные признания Кармен и Шейн. В финале сезона Дженни запирается в ванной и пытается порезать себя лезвием.
В третьем сезоне Дженни лечится в клинике в родном городе, где знакомится с Мойрой (Максом) Суини (Дэниэла Си) — девушкой, которой неудобно в своем теле и которая начнет принимать тестостерон для последующей операции по перемене пола. Вместе они едут в Лос-Анджелес, и уже там Мойра делает первые шаги на пути превращения в мужчину. На фоне приема гормональных препаратов характер Мойры резко меняется, что выводит из себя Дженни. Мойра же требует, чтобы ее называли мужским именем Макс и практически полностью отождествляет себя с мужчиной. В одном из последних эпизодов сезона Дженни разрывает отношения с Максом, аргументируя это тем, что она «осталась лесбиянкой, которой нравятся девчонки». Позже Дженни пишет рассказ о себе и своих друзьях для еженедельника The New Yorker
