She magnifies her friendship with Mrs. Jessop and makes life miserable for Ms. Springer, the substitute teacher. Casey reacts negatively and dramatically to Ms. Springer’s friendly hug leading her best friend, Emily, to report it as abuse to the school principal. The misunderstanding is cleared up, but the incident helps Ms. Springer decide to leave teaching.
