* DotingGrandparent: Summer gets not only her mother's parents but her mother's stepfather who all adore her dearly in their own ways (Megan gives Summer unorthodox but cathartic advice after her rape, Lawrence offers Summer to stay with him several times which she does for college, and Grant provides stability and legal advice after Summer is raped). Grandmother Hudson was also this to Rain in her own way since they end up bonding quite well in their time together before her death at the end of ''Lightning Strikes'' where she leaves the majority of her fortune to Rain over her daughters Megan and Victoria.
