With the support of one another, an unquestionable team built on deep love and validation, all three are able to confidently conquer obstacles that otherwise may have never been addressed. Jenna and Becky look out for Dawn as she takes her first tentative steps into dating and falling in love, and Dawn and Jenna don’t shy away from trying to soften some of Becky’s sharp edges. Becky and Dawn are stubbornly insistent that Jenna leave her abusive husband, taking care of her in ways that markedly demonstrate the undeniable bonds of women in times of hardship. The three waitresses work hard to inspire each other as they follow their own individual paths to create their own joys in a world that doesn’t often cater to them. Jenna finds her happiness by accepting the kinds of love she truly deserves, especially the love that will be there for her the longest, and rejecting those who compromise her potential to feel powerful in her own life.īeyond anything else, Waitress is truly a story about women.

What begins as a story of a romantic love that helps to free Jenna from all the things chaining her to a miserable life becomes a story of love in so many other contexts. When Jenna meets her new male gynecologist and sparks of lust start to fly between them, she’s forced to face up to all the things inside her that are hurting, and take action to change them.

The two other waitresses at the diner, Becky and Dawn, are Jenna’s best friends and closest confidantes, women with their own nuances and quirks, but like Jenna, harboring fantasies of better love than they’ve seen and lives that aren’t so sheltered and full of drudgery. She sells her goods at Joe’s Pie Diner, where she’s also a waitress, and this job and the friends she has there exist as her only world outside her husband. She escapes from her trauma through the baking of pies, creations of her own that she names after their uniquely combined themed ingredients and the events that inspired them, and recipes of her mother’s that once instructed her own baking.
