| ShortSummary = Lonely after the death of her husband several years prior, Jean flies out to Los Angeles on her own to reconnect with her two adult children, Freddie and Jackie. Both have built successful lives for themselves, barely speak to each other anymore, and resent their mother's neediness, feeling that she should focus on her own life. Danny, Jean's host, tells her that she is clinging to her children out of fear that she might lose them as well. Jean is attracted to him and they nearly kiss before Jackie and Freddie, feeling sorry, come back to make things right with their mother. Encouraged by this, Jean decides to stay in L.A. for as long as they need her to.

| ShortSummary = Freddie's girlfriend Celia takes Jean out for brunch, then promptly abandons her, leaving a confused Jean to wander off until she finds her way into an elementary school. There, she meets a fellow teacher, Amy, who correctly deduces that Jean needs a job. She hires Jean to work as a counselor for her new college counseling business. Returning home, Jean is shocked to find that her children have been worried sick about their mother's disappearance; both promise to spend more time with her.

| ShortSummary = Jean's close relationship with Freddie drives a wedge between both her and Jackie and her son and Celia; Jackie feels that her mother is never there for her while Celia is upset that Freddie turned to his mother instead of her when he needed help with a splinter in his hand. The two eventually decide to trade emergency contact numbers after unexpectedly bonding. Jean finally tells her daughter that if she wants her to be there, she needs to get better at communicating it. In the aftermath of a small earthquake that forces Jean to temporarily move in with Jackie, both she and Danny deny to their friends that they have feelings for each other.

| ShortSummary = While starting her new job as a counselor, Jean invites her children over for dinner; this soon spirals into her taking care of all their needs while neglecting her job responsibilities, which upsets Amy. Danny warns Jean that she is "regressing" and trying to be a mother again which her children are eagerly taking advantage of. Lane intervenes and tells Jackie and Freddie what their sense of entitlement is doing to Jean, while Jean has a nervous breakdown at work in front of a client.

| ShortSummary = Jackie introduces her much older boyfriend, Hank, at a family dinner, where he and Jean quickly discover they have much in common. Jackie then confesses she's wanted to break up with Hank for months but can't because of how Jean taught her never to end a relationship.

| ShortSummary = Lane is dreading an upcoming visit from his judgmental mother; Jean volunteers to help him entertain her. Jackie temporarily moves in with Freddie and Celia. Freddie is nervous because he recently got a big job offer and is afraid Jackie won't take it well given her failure to find a new job. Lane's mother, convinced Jean is trying to take her place, tries to drive her away from her son, but Lane sets the record straight and he and his mother part on amicable terms. Freddie turns down the job offer, and finds that Celia wanted him gone so she could have her own work space. They agree to share their home instead. Danny is shocked to find Sharon has a habit of falling asleep in his bed - while he's in it.

| ShortSummary = While planning a trip to [[Las Vegas]] with Sharon, Jean becomes self-conscious of her age, especially when she learns that Danny is a decade younger than her. Jackie, desperate for some direction in her life, approaches an old high school classmate, Nick, so she can ask him for a sperm donation to get pregnant. Freddie and Celia have an argument over whether they should have kids and Freddie runs to Jean's house, forcing Celia to come and pick him up after reminding him that a successful relationship isn't without its problems. After discussing things with her mother, Jackie agrees to go out on a date with Nick. Jean gets her self-confidence back after Danny tells her that their age gap doesn't bother him.

| ShortSummary = With Danny's divorce finalized, he and Jean go on their first real date, which ends poorly when Jean realizes that today happens to be her wedding anniversary. Freddie convinces Jackie to let him have their mother's engagement ring so he can give it to Celia; when Lane points out that Freddie essentially tricked her, Jackie decides she wants the ring. Jean then tells them neither is getting the ring; she intends to keep it forever as she is unable to let go of the memory of her late husband Mike. After Sharon reminds her of the futility of living in the past, Jean finally accepts her feelings for Danny and they become an official couple.
