- Sam and Cassie: One of the beautiful things about their relationship is how they started as friends and even if they didn't see much alike with the western/eastern opinions they were always there for each other when it comes to their kids, Nick and Grace. For the audience that is a parent they can relate a lot in all the scenes because it's very hard to have a teenage kid and we all would love to have someone to talk to that listens without criticism and that gives us a little advice on the hard situations. Grace is a very good kid but she is also growing up and wants a little more independence, the young audience relate here too because we feel the same way with our parents who keep treating us like we were babies. Sam reminds Cassie how good Grace is and that he is there for her if she ever needs to talk. Nick on the other hand is a little more trouble but is good for Sam that Cassie reminds him that deep down he is also a good kid.

The other scene happens in Bell, Book and Candle and Sam tells Cassie how Abigail is intimidated by her and she tells Sam that's what Abigail wants him to think. In this scene we relate a lot too because we all have family expectations we feel in the compromise to stand for and we feel pressure on it. Also Cassie reminds us all that what we want isn't always what we need.

In another scene Sam and Cassie talk about how Sam thinks that he can control everything but his son and Cassie reminds him that life isn't about controlling things or other people.



- Cassie: she is always helping others and she helps Stephanie and Sam with their date when she sees that Abigail is trying to shake things. Even if she is starting to realize deep down she may have started having feelings for Sam she keeps helping Stephanie. This is why we love her so much, no matter what she always puts everyone else first. Ryan also wants to sell a house and Martha is on board but all the owner cares about is money. Martha gets excited about new people coming to town but Cassie reminds Ryan that there are more important things in life than money and Martha that what really matters is the people who already live in town. - Stephanie and Sam: they keep having dates and trying to get the relationship to work. They both have been divorced and know how hard it is to start something new again... but this doesn't mean that you can jump on with whoever... because sometimes people aren't meant to be. They also have a date but Sam is late so Stephanie gets mad but she also needs to understand that as a doctor there are sometimes when he has work emergencies. - Cassie and Ryan: here we see another example of friends that try to get their relationship to the next level but something people aren't meant to be... Ryan has always been there for Cassie so she in a way feels she is in debt to him so when Ryan tells her he has feelings for her she tries to feel the same way but she can't. She also doesnt want to try because she doesn't want to lose him as a friend and if it goes wrong she will lose him (this ends happening) Here we have another quote "change is part of the natural order of things" whether you like it or not that's life... is always changing. We all have been in these situations when you have a friend who starts having feelings for you and at the end when you try to be romantic with them something goes wrong and you lose them... But at the same time it reminds us to try, because there is a chance it goes well. Later Ryan thanks Cassie for making him see the right thing and guided him in the right direction... as she always does not only with the characters on the show but also with the viewers in real life! - Grace, Cassie, Lori: Grace is having problems with a girl in school and Cassie reminds her that sometimes girls like that act in that way because they are scared or feel intimidated by you. Cassie also gives Grace an old compass that belongs to her father but Grace doesn't really pay attention to it because she thinks it is old. Grace also gets invited to watch a movie for older people but Cassie says no, Abigail helps her lie to Cassie and Grace ends up being in trouble, getting some of her friends into trouble and at the end needing to be helped by Nick. She was losing her path and this reminds her to don´t be in such a hurry to grow up... everything has its age. Cassie tells Grace a very important quote "we all have an internal compass that points us in the right direction" this reminds us to listen to our intuition and our inner self and not worry so much about what others would say. Another important quote that Cassie tells to Grace is that "a mistake is like a bump in the road, one bump is not so bad but if we keep making mistakes eventually we change the shape of the road forever" this reminds us that you learn in life by making mistakes but there are some bigger than others ad that some of them can change your life forever so you have to be careful. - Sam and Nick: When Cassie tells Sam Grace has disappeared he thinks that Nick is involved and when he arrives home he grounds him without even listening to him. Later Grace tells Sam that Nick actually helped her and Sam goes to apologize to Nick and asks him why he didn't mention anything... Nick tells him he just sees him in a certain way and that he wasn't gonna believe him. This shows parents and everyone to don't jump into conclusions and always give people the chance to explain things for themselves. - Abigail and Cassie: Abigail tells Cassie she is being too much strict with Grace and that if she keeps that way Grace is only gonna keep pushing away... but Cassie tells her she has to because with Jake being dead she is the only one that Grace has left... This is also a very common situation with parents with teenage kids and how it is very hard to see the limit between being too strict or good enough for your kid to don´t push you away. - Abigail: arrives in town to shake things up a little... and help in her own unique way. Cassie is not very happy with her being back since she knows her unique way of doing things and she doesn't really like it, but deep down she is family and family is always there for you, unconditionally (through the show it always reminds us of the importance of family). Lori is not happy at all with Abigail being back either because all the times she was home when she was younger she always promised her things and then never did anything so she advised Grace to be careful with her. Grace is swallowed by Abigail and ends up being into trouble...but Abigail had everything planned this way so Grace could see that lying is not good and her relationship with Lori grows stronger.Abigail has always known Sam and Cassie are meant to be... so she shakes things up a little and tries to mess the dates Sam has with Stephanie and also tries to get Ryan and Cassie apart. Cassie sees this and tells her that she cant control or manipulate who ends up with who and that she has to leave faith play its cards, but Abigails tells her sometimes faith needs a little push. - Abigail and Stephanie: At first they don ́t start very well but Abigail helps Stephanie realize that if Sam was really into her he wouldn't let her or anyone get in the middle of being with her. Little by little they start being friends and throughout the show their friendship keeps getting stronger. As you can see, all are examples of real life situations. As you can see here every single episode and scene of this wonderful show has so many insights, lessons, values, There is something you can take out and apply it to every aspect of life: relationships, friendships, family, life itself....
