As a troubled woman, the show delves into glimpses of Brenda's past and how she was mistreated by her parents in childhood, who were "successful analysts,"{{sfn|Ball|2003|p=65}} yet sexually open with their children.

In Season 1, Episode 6: "The Room", as it is revealed through a flashback set in the mid to late seventies, Brenda was an exceptionally intelligent girl with "brilliant" yet "unusual verbal skills" which she demonstrated through her elementary school poems. "The prince was so handsome," she wrote in one work, "he was like a prison girls had to escape from. Many tried. And none succeeded." Because of her oddity and her moods which were considered "uncontrollable," she made visits to the psychologist, Gareth Feinberg. There, he would meet with Brenda at the psychology department of San Francisco State University roughly twice a week, eventually turning her into a subject of interest to advance his career, conducting "extensive" sessions on the girl, which he later used as a source for a book, Charlotte Light and Dark, an instant bestseller, yet a reminder of trauma under patriarchy for the adult Brenda.{{sfn|Ball|2003|pp=56-65}}{{sfn|Hart|2008|p=164}}{{sfn|Hart|2008|p=168}}"Episode 6: The Room." Six Feet Under. Directed by Rodrigo Garcia, The Greenblatt / Janollari Studio / HBO Entertainment, 2001.

In his book, Dr. Feinberg (using the alias "Charlotte" for Brenda) observed that at age 7, she had already been reading Thomas Hardy{{sfn|Ball|2003|p=64}} and Ayn Rand, namely Atlas Shrugged, a novel Brenda said was "kinda pointless for such a big fat book." She displayed an obsessive habit of mirroring the doctor's physical movements during some sessions, and he even found her once occupying his desk with his pipe in her mouth, reading his old files when he worked at Hempstead Hospital, a psychiatric institution. Brenda expressed interest in being admitted there, telling Dr. Feinberg she was well aware of what kind of hospital it was. "It would be like summer camp," and after taunting the doctor, she attempted to vomit by gagging on his pipe, to which he picked her up and moved her to the sofa. "If you ever touch me again, my brother's gonna eat your weiner [sic]," she was quoted. Dr. Feinberg believed these occurrences were "typical" of Brenda.{{sfn|Ball|2003|p=61}} In time, he allowed her to be admitted to Hempstead where she made friends with a disturbed boy who self-harmed and experienced suicide ideation, "Stephen." Dr. Feinberg would come to regret allowing the relationship to take place for the children refused their group therapy sessions and spent "virtually all their free time together," engaging in a game with literary references to masturbation; this "potentially healthy friendship," according to Dr. Feinberg's book, "was rapidly becoming an obsession." When he told Brenda he wished to move her from Ward E to Ward C in order to separate the children, she responded by "barking like a mad dog," bruising her hands by banging them on the desk.{{sfn|Ball|2003|pp=61-62}}

Upon learning that Stephen was relocated to another hospital, Brenda's mental state took a turn for the worse. Dr. Feinberg arrived at the conclusion that Brenda was unusually dependent on her younger brother, "Adam" (his real name: Billy),{{sfn|Ball|2003|p=64}}{{sfn|Ball|2003|p=8}} which she "transferred [...] to Stephen" in a dual performance of unusual "psychological drama." Thus, Brenda "became divergent [...] without [Stephen] to play his part." She filled both roles in his absence, pushing Dr. Feinberg in manipulative games. "I'd never dealt with a psyche," wrote Feinberg, "as stubborn and resistant as Charlotte's."{{sfn|Ball|2003|pp=64-65}} Years later, Brenda experiences vivid illusions when under significant stress, writing a revealing novel as she learns of her fiancé, Nate's fatal diagnosis with a brain disorder, arteriovenous malformation and deals with her brother, Billy's psychiatric institutionalization.{{sfn|Ball|2003|pp=156-161}}{{sfn|Hart|2008|p=168}}

The same year, Stone appeared in a lead role as Dustine "Dusty" Murphy, a precociously snarky, neglected 7-year-old living with her stepmother in a rundown trailer park, in the indie LGBT black comedy, Play Dead, written and directed by Jeff Jenkins. Dustine shares an odd yet close relationship with her gay teenage babysitter, Dale (played by Nathan Bexton) who she is aware is openly homosexual, yet identifies him incorrectly as a lesbian (unable to distinguish the difference due to her age). While tasked with supervising her, Dale (along with Dustine) are roped into the chaos of a vehicle accident (an explosion caused by a tossed cigarette), perpetuated by none other than Violet (Diva Zappa), Dale's lesbian friend, which results in the death of Raymond (Jason Hall), a young straight man and captain of his high school's wrestling team who Dale is strongly attracted to. Partly persuaded by Dustine's blunt sass, Violet convinces Dale and Dustine to help her dispose of the corpse, the consequences of which are disastrous and darkly humorous.Play Dead.

Stone). [...] [The] aspect of a father in this concentration camp [...] was a real nuanced role, a lot more nuanced than I had in Deep Space Nine." As the actors for the Suliban were required to wear intricate prosthetics and makeup applications: "Most of what you had to portray emotionally, we had to do with our voices," he said. "That's why the child that I worked with did such a great job, because we couldn't rely on our faces very much, our facial expressions, through all the latex."[https://www.startrek.com/news/talking-with-ds9-ent-guest-star-dennis-christopher "Talking With DS9 & ENT Guest Star Dennis Christopher"].

According to critic Jamahl Epsicokhan, he noted in a fair assessment that "the writers have done a fairly interesting thing by tying [generalizing cultures] all back into the Suliban [race], who aren't all simply 'bad guys' but are a nomadic people with a subset of Cabal operatives waging the temporal cold war." Reviewer Keith R. A. DeCandido expressed similar observations, receiving the episode with mixed views, stating that the segment "is an allegory for the detaining of Japanese-Americans in the U.S. during World War II, an allegory that Archer spells out when discussing the detention center with T'Pol, specifically mentioning Manzanar. [...] And yet, I found myself disappointed in a lot of [the story]. Part of it is that the metaphor was sledgehammered a little too heavily." He further opinionated that due to the writers spending so much time in having the audience become "invested in the plight of the Suliban," especially Sajen (played by Christopher Shea), Danik and Narra (played by Stone), he felt cheated by the episode's ending when it decided not to confirm if any of the escapees survived after their climatic prison break. The episode has received further criticism in media studies, particularly Stephen Hong Sohn's essay published in Science Fiction Criticism: An Anthology of Essential Writings where he noted that a major Asian character (played by Linda Park) has no role in the Suliban episode given its obvious parallels to racism of Japanese Americans, instead being a representation "of the white male hero" in the character of Archer, not to mention, none of the Sulibans were cast with minority actors. Star Trek, he pointed out, has included "minority cast members [who], while plentiful, do not receive as much screen time."{{sfn|Hong Sohn|2017|p=511}}

She auditioned at an open casting call for new-time director Thomas Moore's short feature, Razor, winning the lead part, Nicole over 155 other auditions. Moore is a native of Newfoundland, Canada and relocated to Los Angeles to study filmmaking at the Los Angeles City College, graduating in 2011. While a student there, he wrote the script and completed principal photography for Razor in 2010, editing it down into a tight fifteen minutes, the narrative which focuses on a teenager whose father is in prison. Unable to cope with the stress, she seeks refuge in a church, but with the intention of hanging herself from the rafters. That is, until the night janitor encounters her in the premeditated act and attempts to convince her that her choice is the wrong choice, telling her that he might have been acquainted with her father while he himself was detained. The story was, in part, inspired by Moore's own experiences while he lived in Avondale where he worked as a teacher. One of his students there had taken her own life. "She was in my classroom that June when school ended," he recalled in an interview with the Canadian journal, The Telegram, "and when we came back in September they were taking her body out of the harbour."

Sami Zahringer of Ojai Valley News praised the overall production as "straight-up voyeurism [in a good way]" as well as Stone's performance against a solid cast, writing: "Honey, sickly and scatter-brained, waifish and wailing, is played with dizzy relish by the talented Jessica D. Stone. [Though] [s]oused in brandy for most of the play," it is later revealed in Act II that she suffered a "hysterical pregnancy," which was truly the only reason why Nick married her as he was manipulated into the relationship. He singled out Stone's ability to tap into Honey's moments of distress "when she realizes Nick's betrayal to truly heart-breaking effect." Matt McGee, writing for VC Reporter, was overwhelmingly positive, observing that "four talented actors bearing impressive professional résumés" couldn't have been better selected for director Eubanks' interpretation of an already well-known classic amongst playwrights and theatregoers. "And yet, to this cast's credit, no single talent hovers above the others, as each delivers individual and sharply honed strengths. [...] [And] each proves to be part actor, part daredevil in pulling [the script's emotional acrobatics] off." He noted that "Jessica Stone has all the quiet, Midwestern sweetness and naiveté of Honey," portraying her alcoholic side believably as well as the facade she has used to claim for "herself a prize husband."McGee, Matt (12 February 2015).
