Yes, credit card companies work exactly like that, they offered free pizza for signing up here last year, and I drove by and there was a ton of people out there signing up. It's definitely a problem, people are naive, they are like oh credit card, but then, its oh shit i have $3000 on a credit card with 18% interest, if your are late on a payment then it defaults to 26% those are big numbers.

I just thought the storyline was flimsy from the start. The salesperson was a total pusher and was blatantly over the top in approach. and why make Calvin and Ashleigh the "victims?" She already has an identity of being naive and ditzy, why ham it up even more?
And i wanted her "card being declined" scene to be more meaningful. While charging gum is hilarious, her ass needed to be stranded somewhere. Or purchasing something she actually needed. Then all to be "solved" by her limit being upped? Come on.
It was all so lame - everyone was like "take it easy there big spender" and she was so oblivious.

Well she an upped card limit, and spring break is still to come. A long way from their college.
ETA: For extreme emergencies, she still has her parents credit card.

I'm guessing the credit card story was there to, hopefully, remind people that you charge, you pay, maybe in more ways that you thought.
love being able to view it on abcfamily without commercials!

Ditto
I was so excited when she broke up with Cappie. I was like "yeah Cappie and Casey can get back together now"
I think what the ending showed is Casey's selflessness. Here she and Cappie have had this great night together, are about to hang out some more and go to breakfast and then they see the news. I could tell that Casey was a bit disappointed about Cappie's reaction and then she told him to go. I think Casey is seeing a whole new side of Cappie. From the flashbacks we learned that Cappie was not the boyfriend to Casey that he is to Rebecca, and whether Casey wants to admit it or not I think she is jealous. We already know that they both have feelings for each other and then to see Cappie the way that she wanted him to be with her, I think she is hurt. I think she wants that.
I wish I knew what the writers were doing the show went from being really good to having super crappy and boring episodes. Heck for a season finale it sucked!

Who knows the location changes time after time. The last I remember they were 10 hours away from Chicago, and I don't think they specified in which direction.
This episode: BOOOORING!!!!

I think it may have been the Halloween episode (where it was storming and thundering) where the weather report showed the school in the Cleveland area? Or did i make that up?

This wasn't even a season finale. . . Season finales have cliff hangers. . . Last nights ending was more like we've written/filmed more episodes but we've randomly chosen to stop with this one until september. . . Btw Evan and Franny is gross and the line do you want me just because I'm Evan Chambers was the most conceited turnoff Frannys response was just as bad i just cant remember it. . . GAGGGG!!!!

I think it had more to do with the fact his family is rich and powerful and we know Frannie is into that.
