Awesome / A Cinderella Story

• Sam standing up to her stepmother (Fiona) in the diner and later having her arrested. Rhonda threatening to beat up Fiona.
  • The entire diner staff gets this as well. After Sam decides she's had enough of her stepfamily and quits, Rhonda follows right after, with her threat of pummelling Fiona for everything she's done to Sam. The rest of the staff quit alongside Rhonda, and the customers walk out as well. The only reason any of them stayed and dealt with Fiona for so long was for Sam.
• Fiona manages to avoid jail time for hiding Sam's dad's will by working off her debt mopping floors at the diner under the eyes of new boss Rhonda. Better yet, her daughters are working right with her and we see all three falling over themselves on the floor with Rhonda smirking.
• A new bit of karma for Shelby in regards to how she treated Carter. When Carter becomes popular after starring in a commercial for acne medicine, Shelby becomes interested in him. She clearly is only interested in his newly elevated status as she rejected him earlier when he was unpopular. So, he instead rejects her and starts dating Astrid.
• Sam delivering a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Austin for rejecting her and continuing to act like someone he's not, culminating in her famous line that "waiting for him is like waiting for rain in a drought: Useless and disappointing".
• Although it might seem like a missed opportunity, Austin never calling Shelby out for being a bitch to Sam just goes to show that he's above her.
• Carter defending Shelby from David, who refuses to take no for an answer. And succeeding.
