Jenn Lori Character Analysis

Jenn Lori is Rufus, Aimee, Malcolm, and Tagoe’s foster mom and Francis’s wife. Though she seems kind and as though she takes her role as a foster mom seriously, she’s a relatively small presence in Rufus’s life. Regardless, he still treasures the warm hug she gives him at his funeral.

Officer Andrade, 4:32 p.m. Quotes

Andrade is doing his damn best to get that snuff channel terminated by the end of the year. No way in hell he can share a beer with Graham in heaven without getting this job done. Andrade wants to focus on his real work, not babysitting. That’s why he has their foster parents signing release forms this very second. Let them go home with firm warnings so they can sleep.

And grieve.

Maybe even find their friend if he’s still alive.
