The Greenhorn's Gamble[]
Ichabod got an urgent message saying to go to the warehouse on Rt. 9. On his trike, Gavin took him there, and Jenny Mills escaped. They took an ambulance and she and Ichabod revealed there was a key leading to Purgatory. They went to The Archives and found Benjamin Franklin's sketchbook.
After finding the key, Ichabod opened the way to Purgatory, and Jenny warned he mustn't let him nor Abbie eat/drink anything, otherwise they're bound for eternity. He ventured in, though, there was an impatient stowaway. Before the entryway closed, Gavin dove in. Moloch soon transformed and gave chase to the escapees. With the incantation, they escaped, and Moloch barely made it! Jenny reunited with Abbie. Back at the cabin, Jenny congratulated the guys, even though this was only the start of Moloch's reign on Earth,
A Saving Grace[]
While Abbie decided to check on Ichabod since he hadn't been receiving her calls, Jenny had decided to keep Gavin company and comfort him till Crane recovers. After that, when his friends reunited, he decided silently to head to Scotland, the homeland of his own distant bloodline.
Darkness Rising[]
Jenny and Joe made it to the Archives after Ichabod, Gavin, and Abbie, but without incident. It was later revealed they were enticed by the dark mist, along with a few anonymous officers. They captured Abbie as a sacrifice to force Ichabod to comply and become one of them.
He went on his way to save Abbie, but he was ambushed by Jenny and Joe. He headed to the police department and was halted by them, forcing him to surrender. They didn't kill him but made him succumb to the infection which changed his outlook. As a sense of fulfillment on achieving his destiny as a Witness, while the demon becomes the second one.
He, Jenny and Joe met up with the demon lord, Gospodor. He rallied up the infected citizens and declared to infect the entire world since he obtained a destined Witness. But luck wasn't on their side as Turgado finally conjured a holy water rainstorm, albeit temporary. It was able to reverse the curse and stun Gospodor as he retreated to the highest peak, the old water tower.
Jenny and Joe came to the Onondaga village after they saved Abbie. Each of them, including Gavin and Turgado, prayed for Soaring Crane's victory while he faces off with Gospodor. Turgado soon sensed it and the team hurriedly drove to it. Abbie and Joe were able to revive Crane and he was successful.

The Demon from within[]
According to both Molly and Ichabod, the team came across an occult that was headed by Roman Castavet, or rather named Steven Marcato. There was actually a woman named Rosemary who just gave birth to a demon baby called Adrian who's supposed to be the son of The Devil. However, the group was prepared and while they were fighting off the worshippers, Gavin recited and planted the Devil's Trap which sent both Adrian and his mom to Hell.

It was a solid victory, though Gavin seemed preoccupied and looked he was about to go into shock. He went into his apartment to relax a bit, with Jenny thinking it was the awe from the experimental spell. But instead, he was being harassed by an inner voice he recognized as his legal guardian, Lolita Micholi. He contacted both Jenny and Ichabod who're heading back to Washington DC and realized she died a week ago. She was actually a vengeful spirit inhabiting and torturing Gavin's hapless body and mind.
Jenny decided to comfort him while Ichabod gets help from Chief Turgado. Gavin was in sever pain as he had deep abrasions and soreness through his body. Loilita was doing more damage until Crane arrived with poppy milk. He did the spell and he wound up inside Gavin's head. Loilita was soon vanquished after Ichabod used the Devil's Trap. Crane decided to stay with Gavin while Jenny left.

Sleepy Hollow, the Missing Episodes[]
At the Potomac River, Ichabod and Diana Thomas saw and debated over the creature; he said it was a Kraken, while she stated it was a siren. However, it was Jenny and Gavin who came to the conclusion that it was a hybrid of both. To avoid its enticing calls, she parked her camper several more feet away, but Gavin and Crane somehow heard it, and put them in a deep hypnotism. Jenny, Jake Wells, and the others noticed they were missing. And Alex Norwood unveiled her own recovered ship, the S.S. Kili in order to reach the Kraken's distant lair. Team Witness, minus Lara, had strategized on how to defeat her while retrieving Ichabod and Gavin. Jake eventually found the answer as she dwelled in a cave on Little Island. And they went off using the vessel that was as old as the Revolution.
Over choppy waves, they made it to the isle, but Jenny hesitated. Jenny later came into the fray, but she was being suffocated and drowned by the monster's own telekinesis. Eventually Gavin returned to his senses and drove her away for the final blow. The Liki made its way to look for the Kraken who was impending her wrath on the neighboring islands. They shot out some harpoons which made critical damage to the old ship. Everyone but Jenny and Gavin fell off, though he managed to grab a Taser before abandoning ship. They made it to shore, but Gavin used the Taser which shocked the Kraken on contact. Unfortunately, the current got him, too. Jenny was able to resuscitate him, and he said he was being chased by a Hellhound. He and Jenny later found out that Ichabod's soul was damned after he made a deal with Lucifer in exchange for the Philosopher's Stone. Their objective was clear as to reverse the spell from him before his untimely death.
Gavin and Jenny seemed to have a deep relationship. As they began to kiss, his own heart started to act up, and then hers. They managed to see a sinister demon with no feet before they blacked out. The team couldn't reach them, and because of the "external link" from the residents and his oppression, Ichabod was the next victim. By the time he and Lara defeated it, Jenny and Gavin became normal again.
Jenny had a dream of the team's fallen friends have discovered that it was time to bestow them with seven sacred virtues. Each individual would have a certain virtue depending on their own attributes. The Mills, Grace Dixon then Lori Mills, passed down Faith to Jenny.
Jenny assured and calmed Gavin after his reunion with Sophie, telling him that it wasn't necessarily her or Reynolds' fault for Abbie's passing. While she at first also had an ill-will to Sophie, she later realized that she was a valuable asset to the team, and if it wasn't for her and Ezra's involvement on finding the next Witness, they wouldn't know where Ichabod was or what happened to him. It was all a matter of misunderstanding, much like how Gavin first met the Freemason. The next day, Jenny was showing Molly the sights around Sleepy Hollow. They later saw Leon ascend from Gavin's body.

Gavin and Jenny were sharing a discussion on how to reverse Ichabod's deal. She and her employees of artifact hunters have been wanting to find a holy relic to do the job, the sacred cross that had Jesus' blood encrusted on it. She said it was the same one that Beatrice gave to Dante back in the Dark Ages, and the Crusader was able to restore her soul after being tainted by Lucifer, and protected him as he went through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. She agreed to take Hawley to the Jeffersonian using her trailer, but Gavin refused. Instead, he called his friends about the news on looking for a Vetala statue. Jenny and Hawley approached his yacht to obtain construction worker disguises. They blended in too well as they marched up to the construction site; the Jeffersonian was once destroyed by a terrorist bomb made by Kuvac who attempted to kill the forensic scientists Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth, whom Ichabod and Abbie met just a couple years back. In the catacombs, the statue was there, and Hawley began to react to it. Jenny was ambushed by him and Carmilla, revealing themselves to be Vetalas.
Before the ritual was complete, Gavin and Ichabod were the first to strike back. Jake, Alex, and Diana went into the fray but where outmatched by them. However, again thanks to Lara's chronos crystal, they had the advantage...especially when Lara attacked BOTH Vetalas with the original Delilah's Dagger, then incinerated Carmilla with a missed dart, and finally Gavin burning Hawley with his lighter. So, Jenny recovers and everything seems fine, aside from her confession on being young and stupid bonding herself with Hawley.
Jenny and Lara made their way to regroup with her new artifact hunters. Jenny met up with her companion, Donnie Wu, who reported one of his discoveries went missing. In the end, it was only taken by a nearby falcon sent by one of the shamans holding an object wrapped in a cloth. As the girls returned to the Vault, Gavin unveiled it was the Cross she was looking for, but it had no luck reversing Ichabod's damnation.
After Gavin finished unpacking, an intruder alarm went off and it turned out to be the undead possessing blanch, decaying bodies, gouging eyes, and veins protruding from their bodies. The fight was easy as he, Jenny and Ichabod fought them. Jenny decided to take Gavin back to Sleepy Hollow to round up some more stragglers, though he was uncertain about relocating his old man. Hours later, Gavin and Jenny found their dads near the same church he went to during Gospodor's wrath. Don and Ezra Mills believed that their only offspring can/will make a difference and end the war with their loyal friends. The reverend showed them of how to use holy water, and he gave them some holy grenades as weapons, seeing that they were friends of Ichabod who was truly a Witness. When all seemed hopeless, Gavin and Jenny entered the fray, but Logan gave them the slip just before he made the final cut. Though Team Witness was able to temporarily defeat War and Pestilence and reverse the effects thanks to Jenny's cross making the Vault's cistern holy, the world continued to suffer around them. Even at the Vault as they noticed the water was contaminated and when Ichabod discovered it was all due to some crisis known as Wormwood.
Jenny faced off against Helen, and the team discovered as long as they stayed close to Lara, they won't be affected by her thrall as much. Jenny soon left the Vault with the team as they headed to the Sleepy Hollow cistern, monitoring the virtue of Prudence, till it started to fade after Henry made a craven move! The apocalypse expedited with the horn Donnie had, and Jenny listened to Ezra the gateway to Hell was underneath the Tree of Wisdom. Both she and Lara led the way down as well as guiding them thru each Ring.
Jenny helped fight off multiple foes including Cleopatra and Mark Antony, Lord Minon, distracting the Cerberus, fighting off Hawley while being influenced by the cursed Judas coin briefly, till Gavin threw the slabs into the golden pit. She confessed she was stupid on letting her feelings get the best of her and fall for Hawley. Eventually she recovered, and they continued thru Hell. Soon, she stayed with Gavin trying to assure him he shalln't commit suicide and be bound to the Woods; she even used her Holy Cross to make Romeo, Juliet, and Chuck ascend into Heaven. They soon met up with the team at the Desert and assisted against Jobe, till the holy water made him vulnerable. After that, Jenny sensed Ichabod's soul being corrupt by swallowing the Seeds of Doubt, and she and Lara led down to Treachery. They fought against Katrina and Benedict, till icy stalactites stunned the treacherous duo! Jenny used the Cross to make them ascend as they'd been influenced by outside forces.
Jenny escaped with the group and Ichabod and reunited. She explained of the Seven Vials/Woes and how people suffer thru them. The next day, Lara was succumbing to the plagues, and Jenny helped defeat Pestilence the same way Abbie did, and make Henry ascend where Katrina's waiting. She faced off Lucifer and lost, till she was encouraged by Joe & August. She figured they must use the Cross and utilize the Virtues' energies, thus pushing Lucifer back to Hell weakened! They soon restored the world as she said farewell to her sister and others.
Several weeks later, she and Gavin were late as they recruited Sam and Mary Winchester. The 2 became Future Witnesses and are still free to train Molly.
Visions of Valentines[]
Jenny Mills and Gavin Lucas were taking her camper to Washington, DC, going down I-95 as Sam Winchester was explaining on his past predicament:
The future Witnesses were confused of Sam's descriptions/experiences w/ the Horsemen. Because he had an affinity for demon blood and worked with Ruby allowing Lucifer free, this made both Gavin and Jenny question his motives, even when he wants to save Dean from Hell's Anger swamp.
What was really toggling their minds was how would the Horsemen exist without the presence of Moloch. Gavin makes a funny remark that he took a vacation and Lucifer took over. He was pretty much right since the Horsemen were known to house a different vessel once the other has perished.
After a five-hour drive, they went to the Vault and met up with Mary Winchester and the rest of Team Witness minus Molly since she was still at middle school. They just relaxed there, while preparing for Sam's future as a new layer.
Trivia[]
- The name "Jennifer" is from a Cornish form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar. This name has only been common outside of Cornwall since the beginning of the 20th century, after it was featured in George Bernard Shaw's play 'The Doctor's Dilemma' (1906).
- Her actress, Lyndie Greenwood, had a special etymology as Maple Fox, chosen by Chief Turgado; she seemed as sly as a fox and maple was a shoutout to the actress raised in Canada from its emblem the Maple Leaf.
