Jane Chapman

Played By: Shailene Woodley

Jane is a 24-year-old single mother who is struggling to make ends meet and has to deal with her son Ziggy being a pariah.
  • Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In the book her rape is little more than an unpleasant memory. In the series it's shown to have had long-term effects on Jane's relationships with men.
  • Alone Among the Couples: When she moves to the setting, she's the only unmarried mom.
  • Ambiguously Bi: In the book, she admires women and men in equal measures for their aesthetic qualities, including both Madeline and Celeste.
  • Beautiful All Along: Once she cuts her hair, she's considered a lot more attractive.
  • Broken Bird: As a result of her rape.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: Jane's reaction to losing her first boyfriend. This ultimately leads to her being raped, though this horrifying event is (correctly) not depicted as being her fault in any way.
  • Glamorous Single Mother: Jane becomes this after a makeover.
  • Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Subverted: Jane got pregnant out of rape and kept the baby, but only because she was told she would likely be infertile for entire life and it may be her only chance to have a child.
  • Good Parents: She's a very good and affectionate mother to Ziggy.
  • Mama Bear: One of the more extreme examples alongside Renata, Jane punched Renata in the face when she insulted her parenting, and is very protective of Ziggy.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Everyone says so at the Trivia Night.
  • Rape as Backstory: She was raped by Perry, which resulted in her move to Monterey.
  • Struggling Single Mother: She's much poorer in comparison to the upper-class Monterey moms as a single mother.
  • Teen Pregnancy: Jane is only 24 but has a 5-year-old son.
  • Weight Woe: Jane used to have a fuller figure she was self-conscious of. When Perry calls her ugly, fat, and worthless during a horrifying, non-consensual

    Premise

    After yet another fight, Celeste takes steps towards her independence. Before the school's long-awaited Fall Fundraiser, Madeline deals with fallout from her past, while Jane learns who's really been hurting Amabella at school.

    Synopsis

    As Celeste lies on the ground with the wind knocked out of her, Perry hurries to intercept thetwins before they see her. Madeline hustles Chloe out the door for school, while Ed notes that Abigail's project has yet to go live. Having dropped off her youngest, Madeline tells Joseph she thinks Tori is watching her -- even sitting outside her house in a car. He responds aggressively to Madeline's sense of "entitlement" and tells her to leave.

    Still hurting from that morning's altercation, Celeste tells Dr. Reisman about the apartment; her plan is to leave after the gala, when Perry is away on business. Dr. Reisman urges Celeste to move sooner, reminding her there are children in the house. Insistent Perry would never hurt them, Celeste storms out.

    Ziggy fakes sick to avoid going to school. When Jane asks why, he clearly states he isn't the one hurting Amabella, but doesn't want to talk about it. Looking for a loophole, Jane has him point to the bully in a class photo instead of saying it out loud. His finger lands on Max Wright.

    At the Blue Blues Café, Gordon interrupts a conversation between Madeline and Jane to tell Jane to stay away from Renata. Tom politely, but firmly, kicks Gordon out. Tom confesses to Jane he's been trying to impress her for a while -- Jane, surprised and realizing she's been misinformed, asks, "You're straight?"

    Setting up the new apartment, Celeste thinks back on the violent incident from the morning. She receives a ca
