The friends and family of the JAG characters play a significant role in understanding the series sub-plots. I haven't listed all of them because not all screen captures have been possible but I have tried to include those of significance. [I decided to include this category late in my gathering of JAG episode data - so they are less complete. More are added as I obtain them.
