Character Biography

Biography

Jeremy Mitchell is Faith Mitchell's son, played by Deion Smith. He appears in one episode of Season 1, one of Season 2, and three of Season 3 — five credited appearances — and his role is the doorway into Faith's home life that the show keeps opening.

His first hour puts him in danger. Faith gets the call at the GBI: Jeremy was at a club where a woman was shot. He is only slightly hurt in the stampede, and Faith is furious he was in a club underage — the reaction of a mother and of an officer who has seen how quickly a fun night becomes a crime scene. The episode, "The Look Out," keeps Jeremy's near-miss and his mother's casework in the same frame, the way the show always does with Faith's two jobs.

Season 2 gives him a place in the season's biggest set piece. Will accompanies Faith to a wedding, with Jeremy along — a family outing that stops being one when a body and a group of gunmen are found in the basement of the wedding venue, and the investigation takes over the celebration. Jeremy is part of the family frame around the case, the guest at the wedding that becomes a siege-and-investigation set piece with the guests still inside the story of the day.

Across his five credited appearances Jeremy's function is consistent: he is the person Faith is when she is not a detective. Her fury at the underage club visit, her family outing to the wedding, her son present when the venue turns into a crime scene — each is a data point in the show's portrait of a mother managing a dangerous job and a teenager growing up fast. The series keeps him at the edge of the cases and at the center of Faith's choices, which is exactly where a mother's son belongs in a procedural.

The details of his two featured hours say more than their plots. In "The Look Out," Jeremy's night out collides with Brooke Conlan's murder — the wife of club owner Chris Conlan, shot when a necklace snatch goes wrong — and the stampede that slightly hurts him is the same event that opens the case Will bets he can solve in one night. The show does not separate the mother's case from the mother's fear; it runs them together. In "Have You Never Been to a Wedding?," the family outing includes Will, folding Jeremy into the found-family frame the series keeps building around Faith's household — the partner at the wedding, the son in the wedding party's family frame, and the basement that turns celebration into siege while the guests are still inside the story of the day.
