Where her mother bows to fate with hopeless wonder, Jean reads the blow as deliberate and feels the power behind it still at large. She is drawn back to Beech Lodge against every instinct of avoidance, sensing the house is somehow glad to see her, and she alone recognizes the jade god's significance when Derrick reveals it. Her resilient, questioning mind makes her Derrick's true ally as the mystery deepens.
