Parents as People | |
| The Perfect Man / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: Holly has no delusions about Jean, being accustomed to her uprooting their family every time her love life doesn't go well. Still, Holly later second-hand that she and Zoe mean the world to their mother. And Jean only gets better once she realizes the error of her ways. | |

Sweet and Sour Grapes | |
| The Perfect Man / int_45d22aad | comment |
Sweet and Sour Grapes: Jean has spent a good deal of her life running away from failed relationships by moving away. But once she recognizes that uprooting her family has taken a toll on her daughters, she chooses to stay, even if it meant confronting her problems with Lenny. As a result, Ben (whose been the profile for Holly's "Mr. Right" persona) is inspired by what he's heard about Jean and wants to meet her. As such, she takes to Ben and finds love by choosing to stick it out. | |

Rebuilt Pedestal | |
| The Perfect Man / int_4bef1d48 | comment |
Rebuilt Pedestal: Holly is accustomed to thinking of Jean as being a highly flawed mother with a bad habit of moving every time things don't work out with her latest boyfriend. Later, while speaking to her through her profile as Adam, she learns about her mother's past. She used to be an accomplished baker and would've gone on to bigger and better things. But she gave up that future when she got pregnant with her first child (Holly). Although she admits she wonders what might've been, she regrets nothing because she got to raise her two daughters. This moves Holly to tears. Although her tendency to move from place to place is still inexcusable, this puts Holly's view of their relationship in a new light. | |
