Psych Ward Homework
Q: Did Chloe feel left out from the girls with her relationships personally?
It likely started to bleed into personal stuff, but they still referred to each other as sisters.
Psych Ward Homework
Q: Did it get harder with the girls as they got older?
At times, yes, because they would be like, shut up. However, they were used to the drama and knew the vibe.

Q: What were your first impressions of Kelly and I?
When I came in the show, the show had been going for three seasons and it was great... I was intimidated, definitely, because I was like, you know, they're not new cast members.
