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.
