1st Season
In this season Jen Lindley is introduced as an outsider, the girl from the big city. She had moved from New York to live with her grandmother (Grams) after she was kicked out of her parents house because she was so out of control. When she arrives, she is immediately introduced to Dawson, Joey and Pacey and is attracted to 15 year old Dawson Leery. They dated on and off throughout the first season which caused tension in her relationship with Joey. Jen became jealous when they broke up and Dawson wanted Joey so she did everything in her power to prevent their relationship, including being Dawson's way of trouble teaching - him to be more 'rebellious'. This including stealing from shop and skinny dipping.
2nd Season
For majority of this season Jen isolated herself from the other 'main' characters and became friends with a girl with a bad reputation of trouble- making, Abby Morgan. The two of them drank and paid little attention to school and were altogether disrespectful to the people around them. When Abby dies due to a drinking incident Jen read an insulting eulogy which led to Grams kicking her out of home and she moves in with Jack McPhee, who later goes back to live with her at Grams's house. The two become very close.
3rd Season
The 3rd season for Jen is all about trying to right herself and, with Jack at her side she begins to be more friendly and lovable. When Jack joins the school football team she joins the cheer-squad- later to be cornered by freshmen Henry Parker. They get together some time after and remain together for the remainder of the season, but not before Jen and Pacey decide to have a sexual relationship- no strings attached. They didn't last long because Pacey started liking Joey so Jen and Henry got together.
Jen's mother returns to Capeside to visit Jen after no contact for a few years and their relationship, although still rust, has improved.
