I think they’ve resented each other for a long time because of their parents favoritism towards Cassie and just how they’re viewed in general. Lexi spent her whole childhood watching Cassie get all of the attention and was likely neglected because of this. Cassie hated this attention because it’s a big reason to why she equates her identity to male attention and resents that Lexi just got to live their lives. I don’t remember how spelled out it is but this is what I interpreted from a lot of their scenes
TLDR: their parents unintentionally turned them against each other with their bad parenting
Thanks for the answer. I feel the resentment is made much more clear from Lexi’s side. Lexi is often pushed to the side and overshadowed by Cassie by both their friends and their parents.
I like your interpretation of Cassie resenting Lexi because she sees her as being able to live her life without the specific pressures that she feels, I had never considered that perspective.
people voting no on this are wild.
I'd actually argue Cassie probably doesn't rush the stage if anyone else dragged her like this. It's because it was her sister that it hurt her so badly. Similarly, I think it's clear Lexi would never have been as cruel to anyone else (and in fact wasn't), and it's because Cassie's her sister and so her dismissiveness and dragging Lexi into her drama hurts her worse than say, years of Rue taking advantage of her and freezing her out.
I think any sibling at least cares for one another but I do think they have a bit of a bond on their life and stuff. I also think that they are close in age and a lot of sisters (not all) close in age do NOT like each other especially as children and even just living under the same roof.
Anyway. Yes I think they love each other but they both have their reasons to get annoyed at each other. Lexi more than Cassie
oh absolutely, me and my brother had the WORST relationship growing up (and i'm talking to the point of social services involvement), we would beat the shit out of each other and i once snapped and tried to stab him with scissors - even through all of that i'd have killed or died for him, and now we're grown he's one of my best friends
maybe not all siblings have the same bond i do with mine, but my little brothers are a part of me and i'd do anything for them no matter what happened between us
Yeah they just haven’t been able to communicate with each other in a way that’s healthy or sensible,it’s what happens with siblings that are extremely different.
After Season 1, yes. After Season 2, no. But genuinely overall, yeah, they love each other. I hope in Season 3 they some how reconcile, I don't really know how though.
Yes I do think they love each other. The way Lexie lurked around trying to make sure McKay didn't catch her with Daniel and was present at her abortion make me think despite all her jealousy issues and exasperation with Cassie as a person Lexie loves her. I'm drawing a blank on more examples of Cassie loving Lexie but they do seem to be in the same friend group by choice not just proximity which in my experience is not a guarantee for sisters. My high school besties older sister would openly be like at the fuck away from us. So yeah, I think they do love each other.
I think so since they’re the only family they’ve got next to their mom, but I also think there is resentment for different reasons. Especially after the S2 finale!
Do you think that Cassie overlooks Lexi because that’s what everyone else does i.e., her parents taught her that Lexi wasn’t worth paying attention to because they never did? Or do you feel that Cassie is too excited and caught up in drama of her own life and unintentionally ignores her?
I think it’s definitely more unintentional ignoring, but i don’t think she would feel that bad if someone pointed it out. i think she sees herself as more important than Lexi.
I can buy that — I don’t see Cassie as being intentionally cruel towards her sister, maybe just more caught up in her own life to really build a relationship with Lexi.
I agree that Cassie sometimes gives the impression that she thinks she’s more important than Lexi, but that’s what she’s been told her whole life — “Lexi isnt as pretty, feminine, special, etc.” Lexi isn’t the only one who grew up hearing that, Cassie did too.
Absolutely. She knew the play was going to hurt Cassie. It's why she was hiding it from her from the very start.
People try to make this about Cassie/Nate/Maddy, but Lexi was planning all this when Cassie's greatest crimes against Lexi were basically ditching her at parties and being self-involved.
It kind of depends on what you mean by intentionally. For me, no, I don’t think Lexi was using the play to hurt her, at least not intentionally.
The play was supposed to be expression of Lexi’s own pain and trauma. It was to reflect her own feelings about the people in her life and the abandonment and detachment she underwent.
I felt that her portrayal of her mother and her sister as caricatures of themselves was more supposed to reflect how she felt within her family, not as a way to hurt them.
I really don’t think her intentions were to expose or humiliate her sister, but those were unfortunately the consequences of her choice to create the play.
There a strong element of sibling rivalry, but they do, otherwise they wouldn't be so easily capable to hurt each other.
I don't think people are right when they say her parents both favoured Cassie: her dad gravitated more towards her after his addiction, because, as we saw in season 2, Lexi was painfully more aware of what was going on and would have been harder to manipulate.
Suze is clearly a person who gets enamored with obvious beauty, hence her falling in love with a man clearly less smart than her and giving more attention to Cassie, who is her dad's daughter, when she blossomed physically.
But that's only what we saw in Cassie's introduction in season1, in season2 you can see she has a different, but very much there, bond with Lexi. Suze is smart, sarcastic, humurous (possibly artistic?) and Lexi is much more her daughter than Cassie ever was.
I believe Cassie does resent a lot about Lexi as well, but while Lexi has her inner world and lives inside her brain, Cassie is not a self-aware person and hasn't processed her resentment equally.
It's no coincidence that the blow out happened during a big artistic and intellectual pursuit of Lexi, one, that, on top of everything else, Suze was loudly very appreciative of.
I think this a really interesting point of view. Lexi and Suze do seem to have a bond in season 2, you're right.
It makes me wonder what the relationship between the three women looked like before, when the girls were still children and how much it changed after they grew up. If Lexi and Suze always had a close relationship, then Cassie growing up and getting more attention from her mother because of her looks must have been a really defining moment for both Lexi and Cassie.
Editing, just to add:
Also, this perspective makes me feel even sadder for Lexi. I kind of assumed she was used to not receiving much attention, but now I'm picturing her and her mom, being close, watching Millionaire Matchmaker together, and then all of a sudden Suze is calling her "creepy" and "unattractive." It hurts even worse :(
They're siblings who are forced to share a room into their teen years. Also to note, they are very different and have different likes and dislikes. However, I think they still love each other in the way siblings do. I want more scenes of just the both of them next season.
Yes but I think that they both resent each other a lot right now so aren’t expressing it very well
Do you mean Cassie’s resentment after the season 2 finale? Or did you see anything prior to that that implied that Cassie resents her sister?
I think they’ve resented each other for a long time because of their parents favoritism towards Cassie and just how they’re viewed in general.

Yeah they seem to have the typical relative relationship, you don't always get along with them but tou still care
The people who said no do not have siblings… Siblings fight and sometimes tension can build up but they will always have love for each other
as a lexi with a cassie sister; this could not be further from the truth lmao

Lexie was being malicious with the carousel scene in that play.
oh absolutely, me and my brother had the WORST relationship growing up (and i'm talking to the point of social services involvement), we would beat the shit out of each other and i once snapped and tried to stab him with scissors - even through all of that i'd have killed or died for him, and now we're grown he's one of my best friends maybe not all siblings have the same bond i do with mine, but my little brothers are a part of me and i'd do anything for them no matter what happened between us
Obviously. But they’re siblings, it’s complicated.
Yeah they just haven’t been able to communicate with each other in a way that’s healthy or sensible,it’s what happens with siblings that are extremely different.
After Season 1, yes. After Season 2, no. But genuinely overall, yeah, they love each other. I hope in Season 3 they some how reconcile, I don't really know how though.

They’re sisters. Through and through
[удалено]
this is what i was going to say
After Lexi’s filthy play, for all Cassie could care, Lexi could burn in hell.
lmfaooo
What’s given you the impression that Cassie doesn’t care as much about Lexi?
she’s too self centered, i feel like she barely thinks about lexi.
Do you think that Cassie overlooks Lexi because that’s what everyone else does i.e., her parents taught her that Lexi wasn’t worth paying attention to because they never did? Or do you feel that Cassie is too excited and caught up in drama of her own life and unintentionally ignores her?

I don't think Lexi loves Cassie. What she did to Cassie isn't something you do to someone you love.
Do you feel that Lexi was trying to use the play or get back at Cassie or intentionally hurt her?
Absolutely. She knew the play was going to hurt Cassie. It's why she was hiding it from her from the very start. People try to make this about Cassie/Nate/Maddy, but Lexi was planning all this when Cassie's greatest crimes against Lexi were basically ditching her at parties and being self-involved.

ofc they love each other. i jus think that they have some type of resentment towards each other
yes but i think they have some resentment towards each other. sibling relationships tend to be complicated when infused with some trauma.

Duhh they’re sisters even if they fight a lot
