Childhood Friend Romance | |
| Jane by Design / int_1c8e096e | comment |
Childhood Friend Romance: Billy's had a Love Epiphany and came close to confessing to Jane at the fashion show until Jeremy interrupted. He apparently went to juvie the next day after he ran off, and as of the moment, lies to Jane when she asks what he meant that night ("It's you!"). Jane herself doesn't know what she wanted to hear, but both seemed disappointed. | |

Alpha Bitch | |
| Jane by Design / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Lulu and India, both doing her best to make Jane’s life difficult at the fashion house / school. They do get some depth and come across more like a Lovable Alpha Bitch. They both also have shades of being Academic Alpha Bitches since Lulu's dislike of Jane stems from academic rivalry (prior to her jealousy issues with Billy) and India dislikes Gray and their co-workers favoring Jane. | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Jane by Design / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: All the adults on this show are completely oblivious to Jane's double life. Jeremy and India visit Jane's school and don't even notice that she's a student. Ben doesn't even notice when his little sister flies all the way to Paris. Ben slowly comes around to figuring out Jane's secret but the fact that it took him so long is quite ridiculous. | |

Informed Ability | |
| Jane by Design / int_ca3a6dbd | comment |
Informed Ability: Jane is apparently fantastic at her job. However, all we ever see is her screwing up even the most menial of tasks and then fretting about fixing it without anyone noticing. She always fixes the problem but she almost always requires Billy or someone else's help for it to work. This makes sense from a certain perspective though: since she always manages to cover her failures, none of the people who tell us how fantastic she is at her job (Gray mostly) are aware of how impressively she manages to screw up. | |

| Jane by Design / int_e9c022ea | comment |
Secretly Wealthy: Tough, streetwise Zoe is dropped off by Billy at a shack of a house. As soon as he leaves, Zoe walks past the house, through some yards and to the massive mansion that is her real home. A later episode has Billy following Zoe to this mansion. He assumes she's planning on robbing the place and is trying to drag her out when he spots a portrait of Zoe in a posh outfit on the wall and realizes this is her home. She explains that she puts on her "street" act because, at her old school, she was either an outcast due to her wealth or people just wanting to be friends with her because she was rich. She thus took advantage of being transferred for a fresh start. | |
