The first season of Drop Dead Diva premiered on July 12, 2009, and concluded October 11, 2009, on Lifetime.

Deb wanted to tell Grayson who she actually was, but was devastated when he fell for fellow lawyer Kim Kaswell.

She also was the one who warned her guardian angel Fred about falling for her best friend Stacy that would lead to memories of his existence being erased.

In the first-season finale, Deb/Jane helped a ballplayer win a lawsuit against a doctor who botched an operation on his arm but then discovered that the two had been in cahoots to rip off the insurance company.

Fred meets Deb when she dies, and when he goes to cross her over she presses the return button on his desk and is sent back but into Jane's body.

He returned, claiming to have been traveling the world but later admitted he'd never left Los Angeles as he's been assigned back to looking over Deb/Jane.
