Name: Loren Singer (Nanci Chambers)
Last Known Rank: Lieutenant, USN. She is now deceased.
Last Known Station: JAG Headquarters, Falls Church, Va.
Singer first appeared at JAG HQ in the fifth-season episode “Rogue.” From the very start, she made it clear that she is an incredibly ambitious person and will stop at almost nothing to achieve her goal of becoming the first female Judge Advocate General. She first crossed our heroes in the episode “Drop Zone,” when a mysterious file found its way into Mac’s car and compromised her case. Singer denied placing the file, but Harm warned her that he’d be watching her from now on. On numerous occasions, Singer demonstrated that she views dating as another tool to help further her career (“Surface Warfare,” “Lifeline,” “Answered Prayers.”) She attempted to win the admiral’s favor by aggressively tracking down his impounded car (“A Separate Peace”), but he later informed her that she still had a long way to go before he would trust her completely (“The Mission”). In the seventh season, we were given a hint that there may be some family difficulties behind Singer’s icy exterior, but so far no real explanation has been given. She apparently made a strong impression on Harm’s brother Sergei (“Capitol Crime”, “Family Business”). In the eighth season, Singer was assigned to take Bud’s place on the Seahawk after his accident, but her tenure was also cut short due to her pregnancy (“When the Bough Breaks”). She considered having an abortion, but Harriet attempted to talk her out of it. After a rather public confrontation with Harm over the baby’s paternity and future, Singer disappeared, ostensibly for extended maternity leave – but her body was found four months later on the banks of the Potomac River. Commander Lindsey was charged with involuntary manslaughter when it was discovered that they had been having an affair. She had apparently approached him for money, and when she fell and struck her head on the bridge, Lindsey, believing she was dead, threw her body into the river and attempted to frame Harm. However, after her death, it was revealed that the baby was neither Lindsey’s nor Sergei’s.
