I am Jazz, S8 ep 2, Mommy Dearest.
Jazz has been worried about coming home from college as her mother is overprotective and even tracks his phone.
He goes to a beach party and somewhere with Sander, and Mommy is worried when they don’t answer the phone and goes out to track them down. Jazz is upset mom shows up at party, but is very reasonable, saying he is 21 and wants to do normal things. Jeannette first used the excuse there is more hate than ever and worries, then nags Jazz to tell her about the party. Jazz says he got in his head and sometimes when he does that he goes to a bathroom and takes off all jus clothes. (??) Mom says she was right to be worried, Jazz had social anxiety, mom instinct.
Jazz meets up with trans friends to get juices, but Jazz gets pb&J. . Jazz’ friend is getting a boob job, but Jazz says he got the breasts he always wanted thanks to estrogen and mom. Jazz loves being able to sit with legs spread and a vagina. He always manspreads so wtf? Discussion of going stealth and. Jazz says he passes but would not go stealth. He shows pictures of men on his dating app. One fake plant calls him a faggot.
Next scene: Jazz makes a tik tok with Sander about her book being banned. Jeannette complains about Florida government. Jazz says people are afraid of change. Sander plays director. Cut! Roll! Jazz says Sander is no Spielberg, (no shit). Blah blah spread love blah.
Next scene At grandparents: Grandma doesn’t cook. More talk about book and video, blah blah, they play it for grandma. Jeanette has a bottle of vodka while complimenting Sander. Good choice Jeannette. Read comments from video. Uh oh, mom can’t take it she gets uglier.
Next scene: home with talk about Jazz picking classes. Jazz admits to using dating app and mom freaks out. Jazz isn’t supposed to be on those apps!!
Jazz sets up a date and Sander actually sings “Jazz got a boyfriend” like a six year old. Jeannette insists Sander go with, Has ha! Why these people even go home I don’t know. Jeannette thinks Sander makes things not weird ha ha ha ha! Sander doesn’t want to go either.
Jazz I’m her room calling Dayron. A very cute obvious actor. He admits to being an actor in a minute. He is fine with her trans status. Asks her out. Jazz tells him they have to double date. He’s cool with it, the more he’s on TV the better.
Jazz woke up next day feeling sick. Pool is drained and a turtle is in it. Dad helps get it out. Jazz kisses Turtle. Puts turtle in lake in back. Talk about Jazz being in her head too much but no explanation of what that means.
Jazz feels insecure because of Book ban being in dating world. He creates a video diary and says he needs to be perfect. He’s struggling but can’t figure out it’s because he’sa dude. Mom is listening to video diary and comes in. Jazz starts crying, mom says to stop thinking of herself.
“I just want to feel like myself. I’m so confused. I want clarity”. Jeannette attributes that to fame.
Now Jazz says mom is always there but Jazz sees it’s unhealthy to be too dependent on mom.
My takeaway: Jazz is growing up and all Mental issues are brought on by mom. They are far too codependent. If Jazz moved away he might figure out he’s actually a dude.
Edit: I wrote this as I was watching so excuse typos snd wrong gender. Sometimes I just wrote what they said.
