Shauna and Jeff

Shauna and Jeff were complicated from the beginning. As Jackie's best friend and boyfriend, they were sleeping together behind Jackie's back. In the teen timeline, Shauna and Jeff only get a handful of scenes together, and the audience must get most of their understanding surrounding their relationship from their adult counterparts.

Jeff is written to be supportive of Shauna, standing beside her and not allowing his knowledge of the events of the Wilderness to impact how he loves her. However, he is also willing to use that first hand experience information from Shauna's journals to trigger trauma from Natalie, Taissa, and Misty because his furniture store is losing money.

Due to Shauna and Jeff's relationship initially taking place surrounding a cheating web of lies, Shauna's initial belief that her husband was cheating made sense, and Shauna admits to Taissa that her affair partner, Adam, makes Shauna feel something extra that she and Jeff do not have.

As season two concludes, Shauna and Jeff continue to be glued together by their shared lies in an attempt to protect their family from jail.
