#the nick and cassie relationship that is occasionally mentioned but very rarely shown is very important to me

[lady-of-the-spirit]

Nick: Thanks, mom.

[Everyone stops and stares at Nick]

Nick: Why is everyone staring at me?

Sam: You just called Cassie 'mom'. You said 'thanks, mom'.

Nick: No I didn't! I said, 'thanks, man'.

Cassie, trying and failing to not smile: Do you see me as a mother figure, Nick?

Nick: No! If anything I see you as a smother figure 'cause you're always smothering me!

Abigail: Hey! You show your mother some respect.
