Quentin says that Phoebe losing her mother is part of Phoebe's incredible "Oscar-bait" life story.

A photo of Phoebe and her mother pokes out of a box in Quentin's apartment.
Notes
- It is unknown when Phoebe's mother died. However, in Dark Matters, Part 2, Quentin reviews Phoebe's life story saying, "Girl loses mom, gains abilities, starts going to college." Assuming Quentin is listing these life events in order, Phoebe's mother would have died before 2008, when Phoebe first gained her abilities.
- In an interview, Dark Matters writer Zach Craley said, "Quentin and Phoebe share the same mother, who was killed in the car accident. After she divorced Mr. Frady, she kept her married name so the siblings share the same last name. Phoebe's mom and dad were never married and he left when she was still very young. Phoebe was raised by her single mom and hasn't spoken to her father since he left."
- Phoebe's mom is played by Deborah Tennant, who is Aislinn Paul's mother in real life. In fact, the photo of Phoebe and her mom actually comes from Aislinn's personal collection. It's actually a prom photo.
