Jack was a student at Degrassi Community School. She was introduced in Season 13 as a free-spirited dancer who quickly gained the affection of an equally free-spirited Imogen Moreno. The two grew closer, and in Season 13, Episode 35, they kissed and eventually started dating.
The pair were still together at the start of Season 14. By episode 6, Imogen told Jack that she loved her, but Jack wanted to break up instead, explaining that she practiced polyamory and was not behind the idea of “heteronormative monogamy”. By the end of the episode, Jack had changed her mind, called Imogen telling her she loved her and the two went on a date.
Later, they broke up again after Imogen pressured Jack to come out to her parents. They tried to reconcile in the Season 14 finale, but they ended up deciding they weren’t right for each other. Jack was not seen on the show after that.
