Character History

One Giant Leap

When Matt arrives home late and having missed their counseling appointment, Janice gives him the cold shoulder. She believes that Matt resents her because, by making associate, she has succeeded while he continues to fail to pass the detective's exam. She wishes Matt would just go away, and when Matt telepathically hears her think so, he does.

Hiros

When Matt is kidnapped by Mr. Bennet and is missing for a day, Janice becomes frantically concerned for him. When she discovers him in the house, seemingly hungover, she becomes angry, but Matt uses his powers to quickly soothe her, admitting all of his perceived faults. When he later uses his powers to plan the perfect date with her, the couple is once again drawn closer together.

Nothing to Hide

Matt plans to tell Janice about his powers, but as he does so, he telepathically overhears that she has been hiding something from him and fears she's been found out. He leaves without telling her. Later, he overhears his former partner Tom McHenry thinking that he's sleeping with someone's wife. Matt assumes he means Janice and punches him.

Seven Minutes to Midnight

Matt arrives home to find Janice looking at a photo album filled with pictures of the two of them together. She asks if it's true that he punched Tom McHenry and he tells her it is, and that he's been suspended without pay for a month. She tells him that something happened between her and Tom. Matt asks if she slept with Tom and she admits she did, but insists it's over.

Six Months Ago

Janice comforts Matt about failing the detective test a second time. Matt reads her mind that she thinks he is her "hero". She seems to be fully in love with Matt and not have started her affair.

Godsend

When Matt arrives home from Odessa, TX, Janice tells him she took out a suitcase but hadn't begun to pack yet. Janice admits that most of the trouble they're having is her fault. He tells her they need to start being completely honest with one another, and that he has a secret: he can hear people's thoughts. When Janice doesn't believe him, he offers to demonstrate: he asks her to pick a number between one and a million.
