* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: The goodbye chat between Gilly and her brother Walden, as she prepares to leave for London.
-->'''Walden:''' "Can't say I blame you. There's not much keeping anyone here... guy-wise, anyway."
-->'''Gilly:''' "Oh, I dunno. There's this one fella who's kinda cool. Sometimes he lets his anger get the better of him, and he's not having the easiest time of it at the moment. But I think he's pretty special. An' anyway, he's got a big heart, he's smart and funny and ''totally'' underappreciated."
