Brooke was introduced when she hooked up with main character Jenny. At first Brooke was not interested in pursuing anything further and left Jenny the wrong phone number. After being persuaded by one of Jenny’s friends, she agreed to go on a date with her. They started dating and got in a serious relationship for a few episodes before they broke up off-screen, between episodes, and Brooke disappeared from the show.
Jenny and Brooke’s relationship was often played for laughs or for the enjoyment of the male characters. At one point they were playing beer pong and Brooke used her breasts to distract the men.
