I am really enjoying this one. I love the feel of (view spoiler)[ a community that feels like family. Kyle returning after so many years and it looks like mostly, if not entirely, without a word to anyone would be awkward with everybody I would think. Especially his first run in with Casey. I would still be so pissed, but she seems like someone with a good head on her shoulders.

Jake needs to just take a hint...Casey isn't interested in a relationship with him the way he wants one. At the same time he also seems like a decent person, buying the hockey teams the uniforms showed he wasn't vindictive unless he ends up using it somehow to try to get her into bed again and a relationship.

I'm glad that Kyle has decided to stay and coach the kids and with Casey helping him pretty much the entire coaching time (at least for a while) it will give them the opportunity to perhaps reconcile at least a friendship. I'm glad he's also staying to help his dad. Strokes are no joke and Danny seems like he really needs the help. I am also hoping for a reconciliation between them and I think Casey will help them along the way.

The four students who always go to Casey's classroom during lunch just brings back so many memories of my students doing th same. Some to talk about books, others about a boy/girlfriend or parents, others about other teachers they were having issues with, etc. Rosie is an exemplary student and I think putting her in charge of scoring in place of PE was a good solution. Ben, the student that really frustrates teachers...hella smart but sounds like he doesn't apply himself since he was described as "lackluster." LOVE students like Will who are hard workers and obviously want to learn, improve their skills, etc. but just need help with subjects such as reading/writing in his case. And then Logan. His family life is a mess so it looks like he's getting negative attention and ending up in detention perhaps in some ways just to be in Casey's room for the kind of support and encouragement he'd need in order to improve his situation in school and life in general.
