| << add information here >> |
| Season 4 |
| Dedicated viewers have each had their moment when they realized that Jeanne was not just a girlfriend to Tony but that she was probably the daughter of La Grenouille, the Frog, the villain whom Director Jenny has pursued with a passion borne of hatred. There is the moment of realizing that he could be in real trouble on many levels. To date a woman undercover is one thing (Gibbs and Ziva have both slept with people to get information, we have learned in the past: McGee looked horrified at the thought), but to fall in love with the object of the game seems a hazard beyond the call of duty. There is no way for this relationship to end well, it would seem. And the relationship attracted enormous hostility from the youth sector of the fan base. Nothing like a "I hate Jeanne" campaign to keep the fans talking about the story arc. The fun of the relationship has been seeing the metamorphosis of Tony from big kid to grown up, and from woman-predator to would-be protector. Except he is in as much emotional peril as she. Whereas Gibbs lost his daughter and first wife (the loves of his life) to a murderer, it seems Tony is to lose his to deception, one that was his duty. And as Tony's relationship, at episode 1 of season 5, has fallen apart, we have the expectation from season 4 that Gibbs' relationship with Hollis Mann will develop (at least until he runs into that ex-wife in one of the early episodes of season 5). So Tony will have other relationships around him to remind him of his loss, to emphasise what-might-have-been. The Key Moments in Tony and Jeanne's Relationship- The relationship that was doomed from the start Twisted Sister: We discover that Tony and Jeanne aren't sleeping together when Jeanne asks why not? He tells her that he wants to take things slowly out of fear of this relationship becoming like his earlier ones. Iceman: The climbing wall date where Tony tells the tale of how he used to climb the giant tree in his childhood home "all the way to the tippety top", and then falls to scale the hurdle of saying "I love you". (He had, in fact, said "I love you" on the phone, previously, but the writers, actors and the audience were asked to conviently forget this occurrence). Who's stalking them and taking all those pictures of the two? The dinner where she gives him the mental ward platinum bracelet: an indicator of her wealthy background and an indicator that her sense of humour is as bizarre as his. They are more suited than some teen fans (and many Tony/Ziva supporters) would admit. And he wants to protect her from her stalker (her ex), unaware that he is working alongside the man on his current case. Jeanne chooses to end the relationship with the ex (even the stalking relationship) by putting her foot down. Poignancy that she deletes the ex's photo just after the man's life has been deleted by a gunman: and Tony never knows. The dinner with Jeanne's mother: her perspicacity is unnerving but Tony passes the polygraph-of-love test but fails the confidence test. The climbing wall date where Tony tells the tale of how he used to climb the giant tree at his childhood home "all the way to the tippety top", and then fails to scale the hurdle of saying "I love you". (He had, in fact, said "I love you" on the phone, previously, but the writers, actors and the audience were asked to conveniently forget this occurrence). Who's stalking them and taking all of those pictures of the two? The Grace Period episode where Agent Cassidy advises Tony to say "I love you" if it is true, as life is too short to not say it. And given that it is one of the last conversations of Cassidy's short life, Tony takes the message to heart. We get the declaration on the doorstep of Jeanne's flat, to the tune of REM's "Everybody Hurts". And what should be hopeless shtick is not at all embarrassing to watch - indeed it is compelling - because the death of Cassidy was such a shock (to the fictional characters and to the real-life viewers), the bombing was so jaw-droppingly unexpected and the aftereffects for the characters could be expected to be so intense that, for once, the don't-commit-suicide song seemed appropriate. And love seems such a good antidote to suicide. And grief. And the realization that life really is not guaranteed to last beyond this instant. And Jeanne was convincingly bereft when she opened that door to Tony. (How could those teenagers be so unkind to her?) "I love you, Jeanne" In the Dark: Tony awkwardly states that they could move in together, but he seems not to have meant it when she takes him up on it. Angel of Death episode: Tony has to save his doctor-in-peril from the crazed druggies. And he slips out of cover into cop mode, because her life is more important than catching her dad. Oh what a soap opera plot - and what fun it is to watch! His telltale actions (reaching for the gun that isn't there, being able to shoot from the floor and hit the guy accurately in the shoulder, being unflappable in the presence of crime, taking charge and knowing the protocols for dealing with apprehended violence...) give even Jeanne, the least suspecting person in the universe, pause for thought. Her surprise for him, at the end, is to introduce him to Daddy: we know, but Tony only suspects, that his cover with Daddy is long blown. And Jeanne remains blissfully unaware. This is the last car ride she will ever take and feel truly happy, relieved, glad to be alive, delighting in seeing her father and happy to be with the love of her life. Poor Jeanne. (Note: Per conversation in the limo, Tony missed when he fired at Nick, the wound on his shoulder was from Jeanne stabbing him with the scalpel). |

Even though I am a Tiva shipper, I actually liked Jeanne. She was a good character who added more depth to the show. When Jeanne first appeared on the show, I was kind of peeved, because I had been expecting a Tiva hook-up, but as time went by, I started to like her even more. It's sad now that she has left the show, you could tell Tony was really in love with her. What is your opinion on Jeanne?
P.S. I don't mind an "I disliked Jeanne" post, but please, save the "I H8 JEANNE SHE STOLE TONY!" rants all of the other posts dedicated to that. |

They should bring her back. Tony and her were good for each other and the show.
