When they are at the doctor's, Ginger addresses Heather as her 'friend' to the doctor and also tells Heather she had her vote for prom queen. After their duet together, Ginger looks at Heather and seems to be envious of her looks, possibly because she thinks they're why Heather got Chase in the first place.

Heather talks with Ginger and explains to her that she is going to do the duet with Andre cause she understands that she didn't want to go and make her feel so anxious about the performance and Ginger tells her that it's alright cause she's doing a duet with Chase. This upsets Heather.

Later when Ginger is singing Gives You Hell, the line: "And you’re still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace, I wonder how bad that tastes" seems to be directed at Heather because Heather made a rude comment on Ginger at her job and Ginger related that quote to the comment Heather made.

### True Beauty and Drugs

Heather reveals intense worship of Kitty, who notices that Ginger seems under pressure. Heather assures her she's been trying to help Ginger, and she leads Kitty to believe that Ginger's distraction stems from another case of a good girl dating a Richardson - something Kitty knows all too well.

Daisy tells Kitty she believes Heater is "pure evil" and responsible for giving Ginger ecstasy. Ginger and Heather then later on perform together with the StreakyTeen, during which Ginger gets a seizure, foams up and faints due to her ecstasy overdose.

### Roaming Carols

Ginger finds Heather crying in the bathroom because of Streakyteens' loss at Sectionals, though she claims it is because she has allergies. Heather admits that she has been awful to Ginger and is confused as to why Ginger is still being nice to her; Ginger responds that she thinks that Heather's meanness is just because she's frustrated about her father and what he did to her that made her release her anger out on her. Ginger then invites Heather to come and discuss song choices for their christmas show, but Hearer sharply rebuffs her. However, she then calls Ginger back and, in a friendlier tone, thanks her for asking.
