After graduating high school, Janice joined an ashram in Los Angeles, changing her name to "Parvati Wasatch," in 1978. "Parvati" also travelled across Europe, marrying a Québécois, bearing him a son (Harpo/"Hal", later revealed to be living on the streets), working at an espresso bar in Seattle (and claiming disability benefit from operating the steamed milk machine and supposedly developing Epstein-Barr virus) before finally moving back to New Jersey. Her relationship with Tony is often strained, as he still holds her responsible for abandoning the family and leaving him to deal with their abusive mother, Livia, alone.
