Cassidy and Fiona

Cassidy and Fiona is the former friendship turned rivalry seen in Carter Corp.

## Overview

Cassidy and Fiona is a current rivalry seen in Ryan Carter's story route between Cassidy Sparke and Fiona. They first meet at Carter Corp in Ryan's season 3 during Fiona's job interview. Cassidy was the one who interviewed and hired Fiona ad she made a good first impression.

During her interview, Fiona told Cassidy that she was a lesbian since she knew right away what kind of person Cassidy was (even referring to her as a witch) and knew that Cassidy thinking she was a lesbian would mean that Cassidy wouldn't view Fiona as a threat. Despite their friendship seeming fake at first, Cassidy did seem to genuinely like Fiona and was always smiling around her and enjoyed gossiping with her. When the player sees them together in the elevator together being friendly with each other, she was very confused and thought she had stepped into some kind of dream.

Cassidy invited Fiona to her wedding and often talks about it with her, and Fiona even jokes that she hopes she can dance with some pretty ladies there. At first, Fiona only seemed to be faking her friendship with Cassidy just to get a job and keep it, but she probably eventually saw Cassidy as a real friend since she started confiding in her.

In the break room, the player overhears them having an argument. Fiona had confided in Cassidy and told her about what had happened between her and Ethan, and that she slept with Lisa Parker's fiancé. Cassidy was disgusted and furious that she had lied about being a lesbian and that she slept with another woman's fiancé, let alone her own friend's fiancé and she even had to ask if Lisa was her friend. She rebuffed Fiona and actually defended Lisa in the process, and said that Lisa's fiancé was more to blame for what they did, but that what she did was unacceptable and gives women a bad name, and wondered if she was trying to do the same to her and steal her fiancé. Fiona got angry and told her that she needs to stop viewing all women as threats since not every woman is after her man. Cassidy was shocked by this and walked away, ending their friendship.

This friendship at first seemed to be superficial and fake, but looking deeper it's clear that Cassidy has trust issues with women, especially straight, attractive women. She probably felt comfort in finally having a female friend that wasn't into men and felt solace in the fact she wouldn't have to worry about Fiona trying to sleep and steal her fiancé, only to feel betrayed and disgusted when finding out that she lied about it and learned that she did that to another woman, signifying her fear that it could happen to her.

Fiona had seemed even more upset that Cassidy of all people lectured her on what she did. She seemed defeated and probably felt even more guilty about what she had done to Lisa afterwards, and because she also lost her last female friend. Fiona is the lesser of 2 evils out of the two, but their failed friendship mostly relies on her due to her lies and betrayal. That being said, they probably wouldn't have even become friends in the first place if she had been honest from the start.
