Jennifer
Background
Jennifer Kramer works at the SSR Institute in Los Angeles, California. Her father is Dr. Kramer.
During the events of The Return (1980) played by Farah Bunch and Cybill Shepherd
As Wayne is standing outside, a car driven by Dr. Kramer drives up to the gas station and parks. Jennifer gets outside of her car and a spaceship flies over her and Wayne. Two lights come towards Wayne and Jennifer and then a beam and gas falls upon them, engulfing them in the gas and showing them something from space. The spaceship then flies away. Jennifer goes back inside of her car and Dr. Kramer’s car drives away.
Twenty-five years later, in Los Angeles, Jennifer is at work when Dr. Parkfield gives her some satellite images and invites her to dinner. She tells him she is too busy until tomorrow and he complains she can put her work aside for a little while. She shows them to Dr. Kramer and he suggests they show them to Dr. Mortorff. Jennifer presents the Skycon 1 System images to Dr. Parkfield, Dr. Kramer and Dr. Mortorff. Dr. Mortorff asks what she noticed and she shows them smudges on one of the images and says it may be a system malfunction. Dr. Mortorff suggests they send someone to check it out and suggests Jennifer and Dr. Parkfield suggests she doesn’t have enough experience and he should go, but Dr. Kramer says Jennifer will go by herself. A Dog jumps on the hood of Jennifer’s car as she is about to enter Little Creek and she crashes into the town sign. Wayne drives up drinking a beer and disconnects Jennifer’s horn which has been going off since she crashed. She tells him about the Dog and he gives her the direction to the only motel in town and tells her to see him in the morning. As Niles Buchanan is telling Wayne a story of Lee Ann short changing him on bacon, Jennifer walks in and Wayne walks with her and she tells him about the SSR Institute. She drives out into the country and Jennifer sets her equipment out. When she comes to where The Prospector lives, she opens his shack door and the Dog jumps out and chases her back to her car and she drives away. Jennifer faxes a satellite image of the areas she placed equipment and photographs she took back to the SSR Institute and Dr. Mortorff asks her what she wants them to look for when she asks them to enhance one of the images. She tells them about circular patterns of crystals that appeared in the area and don’t appear to be random. As Jennifer is walking in town she sees a Girl in the back of a station wagon. She sees Wayne staring at her and they both look into the sky. She calls Dr. Kramer and tells him she thinks she was in the same town when she saw the UFO, but he tells her it is probably just coincidence.
Wayne sees Jennifer and she tells him about the Dog attack and while they are talking, Dr. Kramer shows up and Wayne gets up and leaves. Jennifer and Dr. Kramer are checking on the equipment she placed when they start following a trail of blood. Homer sees them and tells Niles they are coming and Jennifer and Dr. Kramer walk over to Niles who is standing near a mutilated cow. They examine the dead cow and Niles tells them about the missing body parts and Homer tells them the mutilated cows are scaring the locals. Homer tells Niles none of the Polaroids he took of the cow are coming out clear and Dr. Kramer looks at them and shows Jennifer and she notices they are similar in the way her photographs have bright smudges. Wayne, Walt, Eddie and Darren walk up and Walt criticizes Wayne for not finding out what is mutilating his cattle. Walt asks Jennifer what could have mutilated his cattle, and she tells him she doesn't know. In the evening, Jennifer gets into her car and is grabbed by Eddie. She throws her coffee on his face and gets out of her car. She is then confronted by Darren and a Cowboy and Darren shows her one of the devices she put out and accuses her of using the device to kill Walt's cattle. She tells him and Eddie that it monitors geothermal magnets. She runs away from them to the inside of a building, but is caught and Eddie shows him the brand he did to his own hand. She manages to get away again, but is caught and as she is about to be sexually assaulted by Eddie, Wayne shows up and starts punching and slapping Eddie and Darren. Walt walks up with Niles and Walt apologizes to Jennifer for what Eddie did, but also warns her not to come on his property again after accusing her of mutilating his cattle. Wayne takes Jennifer to his house and she looks through his library of books which are mostly about space and Science Fiction. She tells him about her encounter with a UFO when she was young and he tells her, he saw the same thing and she realizes it was Wayne that saw it with her when they were young.
The next morning, Jennifer and Wayne tell each other they think they were meant to come together again. Wayne and Jennifer go to where she placed one of her devices and finds it destroyed and they find another dead cow. Eddie sees them and starts shooting at them and Wayne fires back and Eddie falls off of his horse and lands in the belly of another dead cow. Wayne and Jennifer go and tell Niles what happened and Niles tells him Federal Agent 1 and Federal Agent 2 came back and were asking questions. The Motel Manager sees Jennifer with Wayne and tells her Dr. Kramer has been looking for her. The Prospector drives up in Niles' vehicle and attacks Wayne and Jennifer. The Motel Manager calls the police and The Prospector drives away with Jennifer. The Prospector carries an unconscious Jennifer inside of the cave and complains that he has been helping the aliens all theses years and is worried what will happen now that they have Jennifer and tells her she was chosen by the aliens. He tries to kill her with his glowing weapon, but it doesn't work against her. Wayne rides a motorcycle through the door leading to the cave and while The Prospector is distracted, Jennifer hits him in the face with the glowing weapon. She tells Wayne that the aliens didn't want The Prospector to kill anyone and The Prospector is sucked through the portal. Jennifer and Wayne then step inside of the portal and fly away. They end up in a white room and are taken away by the spaceship. Wayne and Jennifer are then transported back to Earth and the spaceship leaves and they hold each other and stare into the night sky.
