- Shows up in State of the Unions with Rhiannon to talk about Cory and Topanga's wedding. He and Rhiannon do not get along, and they announce their plans to divorce.
- Cory journeys to Pittsburgh in For Love and Apartments to convince Jedediah to see his wife, but misunderstands the situation. He does not know that Rhiannon kicked out Jedidiah because he fell in love with another woman, Marie.
- Briefly appeared in No Such Thing As A Sure Thing to tell Topanga of the true nature of his separation from her mother. He was quickly kicked out.

Family[]
Ex-wife: Rhiannon Curtis

- Topanga also had a sister named Nebula Lawrence, presumably meant to be a full sister, but she was a continuity error in the show, as she was never mentioned following season 1. She no longer exists.
In-laws: Rosie McGee (ex-mother-in-law), Prudence Curtis (ex-sister-in-law), Cory Matthews (son-in-law)
Grandchildren: Riley Matthews (granddaughter) and Auggie Matthews (grandson)
Notes[]
Jedidiah Lawrence is the only character to be portrayed by three different actors.
As Rhiannon's mother was born in the early 1940's, based on what Topanga said in No Guts, No Cory, Jedediah's parents were the ones who were engaged on December 7, 1941.
