| abstract | - Zane Donovan makes his first appearance in the Season 2 episode, "E=MC...?". He's been in trouble with the law prior to his life in Eureka (allegedly crashed the New York Stock Exchange and many counts of identity fraud) and is often childish and sarcastic.Though a bit of a trouble maker, he is actually incredibly intelligent, having been accepted to MIT at 13, (only to be kicked out), Yale, Columbia, and other top schools, all around the age of 15. His most notable actions in the series are his assistance in preventing the Big Bang simulator in "E= MC...?" from exploding, as well as preventing a second sun from destroying the town in Season 3's episode "Here Come the Suns". Zane's role in the series increases to a major character by Seasons 3 as his relationship with Jo Lupo progresses as well as with the arrival of Eva Thorne (Season 3), when she takes a liking to his scientific style and makes him the director of the Consumer Lab, where his goal is to utilize projects in Eureka as products to be sold to the masses. Eva also turned to him in many of her mysterious investigations around Eureka. He also becomes more friendly and relaxed around Carter, Allison Blake, and Co., a drastic change from his original behavior. In the fourth season Zane seems to regress behavior-wise, presenting the same snarky, sarcastic "bad boy" attitude he displayed in "E=MC...?" back in Season 2. It is also revealed that he may never have been made director of the consumer lab, but was instead penalized by that timeline's Fargo due to their friction, and instead works in the NOLWEPS lab with Dr. Parrish ("All the Rage"). He is slowly assuming most of his previous characteristics, even showing some empathy toward Deputy Andy ("Momstrosity") by leaving the emotional upgrades S.A.R.A.H gave him so he and the smart house could maintain a romantic relationship.
