* ArtisticLicense: As anyone who knows anything about the airline industry will tell you, trips are based on seniority and the more senior flight attendants hold the better trips. 30-something Cassie is simply too young to hold the trips she's seen working on the show, especially the Asia ones. Even if New York where she is originally based is a hub for all three of the big American airlines (American, Delta, and United) and is known to skew junior among all of them, she would only really be able to go on these trips if she got lucky during her reserve blocks. But the show would not be as fun nor would she be able to get up to zany international espionage hijinks in Boise, Idaho like she does in Bangkok, Thailaind.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In "After Dark," before resigning from her law firm, Annie tries to give this to her assistant, Jennifer, telling her that she never should have allowed to her to call her "Jessica," telling her that names are important and that her name should actually be pronounced "Ah-nie," but when she was a kid the other kids kept pronouncing it "Ann-ie" and she finally gave up trying to correct them. She says that she shouldn't allow other people to tell her who she is, but Jennifer says that she doesn't think she can just become a "Jessica" and she'll miss working with her.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: In "Rabbits," a photo is circulating of a woman seen in Bangkok that authorities want to speak with who looks suspicious like Cassie. Megan calls up Cassie, who is at a loud bar, and can barely hear her, but tells her about the photo and how she thinks it looks like her. Cassie denies it, sounding crazy and harassed, and when she presses the matter, she tells her "Honestly, if that was me in the photo, you know what? Then I guess my life would be free-falling down an insane pit of traumatic shit. So I guess I go out to a very, very loud place to drown out all the crazy stuff that's going on in my head, and you can bet that it would feel fucking crazy! But... it's not me in the picture."

* HardTruthAesop: The second season has a CentralTheme that sobriety and atonement is HARD, and it's way too easy to celebrate progress when [[OffTheWagon the chance of slipping is so easy]]. Cassie had to accept that she was a fundamentally flawed individual who has made bad decisions not just as a kid but in her entire adult life. This, though, lets her manage expectations for herself and find some peace and progress outside of celebrating AA chips.
