Pilot[]
In the Pilot Jane is first seen in a car with her granddaughter, Goldie Clemmons, insulting a lesbian couple walking down the street. When she finds out that Goldie's husband has betrayed her she walks into his house and threatens him with a gun, but leaves without harming him. Later on she contacts the police, because Goldie stole her car, and follows her to California. She is shocked that her granddaughter wants to give her child to a gay couple and is even more horrified by the time Rocky brings (poached) eggs to Bryan , assuming that Rocky is going to be the biological mother. After both Rocky and David argue with her she tells the others that she found her husband sleeping with another man, which explains her homophobia. Goldie yells at her saying she wants to give them a child, so Jane gives up.
