Biography

Season 2

Barbara and her husband Mitch came over to Delilah Dixon at her house. They wanted to discuss the envelopes they had been receiving in the mail from Jon's last will and testament. Delilah insisted Jon wanted them to have the half-million dollars he had left them, presumably to make up for not helping to raise their son, Patrick Nelson. Mitch insisted they did not need the money, but Barbara wasn't so sure. ("Grand Canyon")

Barbara was in her kitchen getting a snack when she was interrupted by her son Patrick. She congratulated him when he told her he applied for school, and how he was working hard at trying to get a scholarship, but that they were difficult and very competitive. He asked if there was any spare money he could use and she regretfully had to inform him there was not. She was silently tortured knowing about the money left to her from Jon. ("Mixed Signals")

Trivia

• Casting describes her as "a woman who lives at Barbara Morgan's old address".
