Overview[]
Fiona met Charlie while Charlie was modeling for an art class that Fiona was taking with Holly J over spring break.

While the two were hanging out, Fiona realized that they had little in common, so she began to pretend to have the same hobbies and interests as Charlie. Eventually Charlie moved in with Fiona, after her roommate kicked her out, but that was short lived after Fiona accused her of bringing bedbugs into her condo. The girls remained friends after they split up.

Fiona reveals to Charlie that she was once an alcoholic and went to rehab for help, but she has control. Feeling anxious, Fiona runs to call her mom, and later tells Charlie her therapist says she's not ready to be around alcohol. Charlie seems willing to give it up, but is disappointed that Fiona waited until she moved in to tell her. Fiona says she doesn't have to do anything, but the fact she waited so long proved she isn't ready to be in a relationship. Charlie asks if she'll be moving out and moving back in with her mother.
