* IronWoobie: Yes, Lauren isn't the nicest of persons, but she simply hasn't caught many breaks and she's right in that another school, she'd be a queen. She acts out, yes, but people forget that shes been uprooted from her home, she has no real friends, there's no one at her high school that she can connect with (save Shane, and she's pointed out that [[NotSoDifferent neither of them are very nice people]]. Still, she's amazing at helping with Farrah's wedding, she empathizes with Amy after their mutual breakups, she manages to maintain a friendship with Pablo (who she actually attempts to protects from Shane's dating style), and she never told their parents about Amy & Karma's entire scheme. (Yes, she tried to bust them at school, but it wasn't personal.)

* UnfortunateImplications: In the finale, after [[spoiler:Karma rejects Amy]], Amy gets stinking drunk off of reception wine. A helpful reminder that Amy's ''fifteen''. That would not bode well for the catering service that only stopped serving her after she was too drunk to rationally make decisions...[[spoiler:like sleeping with Liam.]]
