season three premiered on June 19, 2011 and concluded on September 25, 2011 on Lifetime. Season three aired aired on Sundays at 9:00 pm ET for the entire season and consisted of 13 episodes.
Before getting under the sheets, though, the pair will have to navigate their way back to each other. Not only is Grayson still engaged to Vanessa — and Episode 4 is called "The Wedding" — but Jane may reconsider Grayson as her soul mate.
"She now begins to see Grayson through more mature eyes," Berman says, "and it might make her question her love for him. We have one episode this season where Jane and Grayson get in a huge fight in the middle of the bullpen at Harrison and Parker. Jane is shocked by some of the opinions that Grayson has because she gets to see him as a co-worker as opposed to a boyfriend. It makes her have second thoughts about what her feelings were."
As for whether Jane will finally reveal the truth about her identity to Grayson, Berman simply teases, "I'm not going to tell you that Grayson doesn't find out this season."

Drop Dead Diva's executive producer Josh Berman has dropped hints about what lies ahead for Jane and Grayson.
Berman explained that Jane (Brooke Elliott) will try to move on from Grayson (Jackson Hurst) because of his upcoming wedding.
"Jane's going to try to let [Grayson] go," he told TV Line.
"But after a break-up, if you still love somebody you can kind of think you're over them and then there are moments when you realize you're not. And I think Jane's going through that process of grief. But she's not at the point yet of acceptance."
Berman also revealed that an upcoming episode will feature "big chunks of flashbacks".
"You actually get to see a whole storyline about Grayson and Deb," he said. "It's a really, really cool episode."

Jane does have two relationships during the season that indicate she is trying to move on from Grayson. The first, with Dr. Bill Kendall (Ben Shenkman
), ends when he reveals that Jane is one of several women he is dating and that he is not ready to get serious with any one of them. The second, toward the end of the season, is with a fun-loving new judge named Owen French (Lex Medlin
).
) as a temp, Kim became jealous, putting Jane in a tough situation, knowing that Elisa has a son with Parker and Parker doesn't know anything about it.
Late in Season 3, Stacy finally gets a part on a TV show as a main star. She claims that she has to keep her relationship with Fred a "secret" for publicity purposes, but eventually she ends up cheating on Fred with her co-star, Brian (Robert Hoffman
), and Fred witnesses the two sharing a passionate kiss. Stacy is unable to choose between Brian and Fred; despite Jane's advice for her to talk to Fred, the choice is made for Stacy when Fred eventually confronts her and angrily leaves. Stacy becomes distraught and upset with Jane, believing Jane had told Fred of her infidelity. Fred is later shown having drinks with Grayson and Teri, who comfort him.
Unfortunately, Stacy's behavior would end up annoying not only Fred, but also Jane/Deb and Teri when she becomes a diva and starts treating her friends like dirt. But reality would come crashing down after Brian steals her commercial deal and sleeps with her assistant, resulting in Stacy punching out Brian and getting arrested for assault. She is later cleared of the charges, but kisses Grayson after he represented her. Although the two quickly realize it was a mistake, Stacy is unaware that Jane saw it. Jane also tells Fred at the airport about what happened, thus devastating Fred who was ready to forgive Stacy and propose to her.

Kim & Parker
Kim and Parker's relationship was short lived, after Kim realized that Parker just ignored all of his ex-partners. In the end of Season 2, Jane shares with Kim that she saw Harrison and Parker kissing in Parker's office. Kim is outraged and goes to Parker's house to tell him that they're over. Harrison fires Kim from the firm in the end of Season 2, but she returns in Mid-Season 3. In early Season 3, Parker still tries to charm Kim and begs her to come back to him.

Fred & Stacy
Fred and Stacy's relationship started out awkwardly, because after the two kissed, Fred was sent back to Heaven to renew his old job as a gatekeeper. All of his memories to anybody except Jane were wiped. A few episodes later, he comes back as Jane's guardian angel forever, with no rules of who he can and cannot have a relationship with. His relationship with Stacy gets real in the later Season 2 episodes, as the two share passionate kisses. In Season 3, Stacy shares with Jane that she's afraid Fred thinks that the kissing IS the relationship, and they have not progressed to intercourse. Stacy keeps waking up early to run, claiming she runs a lot when she's frustrated. Jane then gives Fred advice, because Jane knows everything Stacy wants in a man. Afterward, it appears the relationship has been consummated and is going well, because Stacy claims she "may never run again."Late in Season 3, Stacy finally gets a part on a TV show as a main star. She claims that she has to keep her relationship with Fred a "secret" for publicity purposes, but eventually she ends up cheating on Fred with her co-star, Brian (Robert Hoffman
