Jay trying to pick up a girl

Jay hits on Melinda.

In Redemption Song, she attends the Friendship Club retreat. When Jay Hogart arrives to pick up Spinner, he decides to stay instead of driving Spinner back, so that he could try and sleep with Melinda. She falls for Jay's blatant lies, causing Darcy to describe her as "not the sharpest tool in the shed."

In I Against I, she sits in the background of the Friendship Club meeting about stopping Marco Del Rossi's safe sex campaign.
