In "Binky Goes Nuts", Jenna helps Binky with his allergies, and goes out of her way to help him study them. She also showed concern for his well being when he accidentally consumed peanut products.
  • Francine Frensky - Even though it seemed that Francine made Jenna feel guilty about the 'Athlete of the Year' award in "The Good Sport", in the end, Francine made up with Jenna. After that, Francine and Jenna became good friends. In "Jenna's Bedtime Blues", Francine was even able to pull some strings to get Muffy to invite Jenna to her sleepover. Francine is also the only friend who knows Jenna's real secret that she wets the bed and understands because she used to suffer from it, too.
  • George Lundgren - In "Buster Makes the Grade", Jenna was at the Sugar Bowl with George and Alex. They were seen having lunch together in "Don't Ask Muffy". At Muffy's sleepover, she made up the idea that she had a crush on George to make it seem like it was her deep, dark secret.[4] She also had invited him to her birthday party.[5]
  • Buster Baxter - In "Buster Makes the Grade", Jenna invites Buster to have an ice cream with her.
  • Alex - Jenna is seen with Alex in a number of episodes, like "Buster Makes the Grade".
  • Maria - Jenna has been seen with Maria many times, usually in class, but also outside of school, too. Jenna has private conversations with Maria and has her over to her house in "Maria Speaks," possibly suggesting a close friendship.
  • Helen - Jenna is seen with her in the library while they are reading Henry Skreever books to each other and talking about it.
  • Prunella Deegan - They don't hang out that much, but they are seen together in some episodes, like "Arthur Goes Crosswire", "Fern's Slumber Party" and "Fernfern and the Secret Of Moose Mountain".

After that, she was a main character (making appearances like Fern and Sue Ellen) from seasons 2-9 and had several episodes where she made major appearances in. "Messy Dress Mess" was the first time Jenna has spoken since "Binky Goes Nuts."
