Title gives no clue.  Are we focusing on the first or second cohort with this series or will it be a mix?  Or will we see some characters who were introduced long ago and are about to emerge in the new storyline?  Sue, anyone?

Yes, this appears to be a flashback to Jacqui's teen years.  Two questions though

1. What exactly is that medallion belt...er, accessory?

2. The Accordion?  Synthesizer, yes.  Guitar, sure.  Drums, maybe.  But an accordion?  Does she audition for a girl group version of the Kinosha Kickers to appease her parents over her interest in rock?

I like Jacky's current hair and trimming scheme, but her accessories from the 80's were nice...  also, apparently pregnancy did nice things to her bust size.

Grudging concessions to her parents?  Those don't strike me as "Jacqui" instruments at all.

I imagine her parents demanded she learn the concertina in return for allowing the tattoo.

Is that a mandolin rather than a guitar?

Yes. Good catch!

Speaking as someone who has spent a lot of time around musicians, I don't think any parents are going to be mollified by their daughter hanging out with musicians by her saying, "But they're folk musicians!"

Yeah, such was their reputation that for centuries before the Hays Code folk singers had been forced to keep at least one finger in their ear.

Actually, if they knew anything about folk musicians those would probably be the *last* musicians they'd let their daughter hang around.

If you have ever worked a Renaissance Faire, you know this to be true.

The instrument selection would seem to imply that Jacqui didn't truly discover rock until her very late teens/early 20s (about the same time she met Pearl's father).  Did her parents refuse to buy instruments of the "devil's music" so Jacqui went subversive on them, knowing firsthand the reputation and proclivities of folk musicians?  I still can't quite wrap my head around this.  I'd have thought she'd have an ax, a synthesizer and a full drum set, not an accordian, mandolin, and concertina.
