Chaiken implemented a series of changes to the character, one of which being the inclusion of a sexual abuse story line and self-harm, which some critics observed as being attempts to make her likable in the LGBT community. One storyline that gained mainstream attention was adopting a homeless dog, only to have it put down for personal gain.

The final season is based around the lead-up to her death, during which Jenny made herself extremely unpopular with her friends, who became suspects.
