Jessica DiLaurentis is Alison and Jason's mother. She attended Alison's funeral in Rosewood with her husband and later returns to Rosewood to help throw a fashion show in honor of her lost daughter, Alison, in Season Two.
Season 1
In "Pilot", Jessica is seen in the church, escorting the attendees to their seats. She has the Pretty Little Liars share a pew together in the front, saying that it is what Alison would have wanted.
Season 2
In Never Letting Go, Jessica invites all the Pretty Little Liars to lunch with her, where she proposed that the girls model Alison's dresses in memorial as a tribute at the end of the fashion show. The girls are creeped out by the thought of wearing their dead friend's clothing, but out of pity for Jessica, accept her offer. Just before the show, Pam, Ashley, Veronica, and Ella quietly express their condolences for Jessica while they sit by themselves. During the show, Jessica sits next to her son, Jason. When the tribute is sabotaged, with the word bitch scrawled over Alison's picture, she runs of in a distressed hurry.
In this same episode, Jessica has several arguments with with Peter Hastings both in person and over the phone, which Spencer notices, though Veronica does not. One of their arguments involves Jason and his construction in the yards. Later in Picture This, Veronica echoes the sentiment that the DiLaurentis family cannot be trusted, when she is conversing with Spencer alone in the kitchen. This seems strange, considering how Veronica had pitied her at the fashion show, not letting on that there was any resentment whatsoever.
