Adele gets Niki to find Jenny in person and convince her that she is the right actress for the role of Jesse in Lez Girls.
Niki and Jenny begin a relationship on the set of Lez Girls. The whole cast and crew know, dislike the relationship, and do their best to keep it from leaking to the press or public. Adele, Jenny’s assistant, is able to convince the man funding the movie that this relationship is a good thing, because Niki is young and green and also not publicly "out", so she needs the experience with a woman to play her part correctly.
In "Lesbians Gone Wild" (S.5 E7), Niki sneaks off set to go Lesbian Turkish Oil Wrestling at Shebar. The party is shut down by the police after a tip from Kit, and Tina saves Niki from the police and being outed as a lesbian. We also learn that Niki is underage for alcohol.
