Janice tells Hiro and Ando she called the cops and they should get going. Hiro says her baby is in danger. Ando asks if she knows her baby is special. She says it started during the eclipse just like with [[Matt Parkman|his father]] and asks if they're here because of what Matt did. Hiro says that they are heroes just like Matt Parkman. Janice says that Matt is no hero, he's a terrorist and takes her baby to the TV and asks him to turn it on. They watch the news, but Hiro and Ando tell Janice that Matt didn't do this. They say it was a trick because [[Homeland Security|the Government]] is trying to make everyone think people like them are terrorists. Janice asks if they mean [[Evolved humans|people with abilities]]. Hiro tells her he currently doesn't have an [[ability]], but Ando does. Ando shows her how he can make a [[Ability supercharging|red glow]] in between his hands and tells her people like them are being arrested. Hiro says the government's after little Matt and they were sent to help him. |

An officer explains the warrant is for them both and asks if the baby is home. Janice says he's at the baby sitters and she'll take them there. They agree and she grabs her purse and jacket.

After the discovery of his son, Matt returned to Janice to attempt to patch things up, and they now live as a family once again.
Character History
Season One
For an episode-by-episode summary, see Janice Parkman: Season One History.
Janice and her husband, Matt Parkman, were going through marriage problems. While her career continues to progress, Matt's career as an LAPD officer seems to be going nowhere. After an argument, Matt goes missing, causing her to be worried for his safety. Using his telepathy, Matt hears her thoughts on how she feels, breaking the tension of their recent conflicts. Matt discovers, however, that Janice had an affair with Matt's coworker and once partner Tom McHenry.
After the discovery of her affair and Matt's tip to Odessa, Matt reveals to Janice that he can hear people's thoughts. After discussing the ability, Janice reveals (through thought) that she is pregnant with their first child.
After Matt's suspension from the LAPD, Janice worries if Matt will need his gun for his new job as a body guard. She later finds a large diamond ring in Matt's sock drawer and takes it to get resized. When the jeweler claims the ring is stolen, she discovers from Matt that the ring is one of many diamonds Matt stole from a dead Malsky. She asks Matt to turn in the diamonds to the authorities, but Matt leaves to meet with some acquaintances.
Four Months Later...
Four months later, Matt now lives in New York, NY, having divorced from Janice. Janice is presumably planning to raise the baby on her own.
The Kindness of Strangers
Matt tells Nathan that he and Janice are now divorced because Janice cheated on him, which he could have forgiven except that Janice's baby was Tom McHenry's, not Matt's.
Fight or Flight
Matt, trapped in an illusion created by his father, meets Janice and her son in a jail cell. Janice accuses Matt, saying that he knew that Janice's son, who was supposedly the son of Tom McHenry, was actually their own son. Matt protests, saying that he didn't know anything, but Janice ignores him and leaves the jail cell.
Cold Snap
Janice arrives at home and opens the closet to find Ando and Hiro trying to hide between stuffed toys, while Matt Parkman, Jr. plays in front.
Janice tells Hiro and Ando she called the cops and they should get going. Hiro says her baby is in danger. Ando asks if she knows her baby is special. She says it started during the eclipse just like with his father and asks if they're here because of what Matt did. Hiro says that they are heroes just like Matt Parkman. Janice says that Matt is no hero, he's a terrorist and takes her baby to the TV and asks him to turn it on. They watch the news, but Hiro and Ando tell Janice that Matt didn't do this. They say it was a trick because the Government is trying to make everyone think people like them are terrorists. Janice asks if they mean people with abilities. Hiro tells her he currently doesn't have an ability, but Ando does. Ando shows her how he can make a red glow in between his hands and tells her people like them are being arrested. Hiro says the government's after little Matt and they were sent to help him.
There's a knock at the door. Hiro and Ando hide with baby Matt while Janice opens the door worried as she lied about calling the police and wasn't expecting anyone. The officers at the door have a warrant to bring in Janice and her baby for questioning. She asks if this is about her ex-husband and he says it is. She asks why they need to talk to her son since he never met his father and he can't talk. An officer explains the warrant is for them both and asks if the baby is home. Janice says he's at the baby sitters and she'll take them there. They agree and she grabs her purse and jacket. As they leave, one of the men orders for the house to be searched. Janice tries to stop them, but they continue to take her away. Hiro and Ando try to run, but realize they're trapped. Ando hands Matt to Hiro and blasts the officers with a red lightning as they try to enter the room, knocking them back. The baby touches Hiro and Ando looks up at Hiro excited about his new ability. The men come back though, and knock Ando out. As they come for Hiro, he's able to stop time.
When Matt brings Daphne Millbrook to a hospital, he tells the doctors that she was shot in a hunting accident. He later reveals to Daphne that Janice was the source of his lie.
I Am Sylar
Matt calls Janice after reuniting with Hiro and Ando and plans to bring Baby Matt home. Janice asks to talk to her son and Matt lets her. Before Matt hangs up, he tells Janice that it was good to talk to her again and Janice is pleased to have spoken with Matt as well.
