## Throughout the Series

### Season 4

Sarah is a sex therapist at Cavendish College. She's well known there and that's why she starts her rivarly with Otis, who wants to reactivate his business at the new school. To make matters worse, Otis is helped by Ruby, who hates Sarah after she was one of the reasons Ruby was bullied back in her elementary school days.

Due to Sarah and Otis's war, they both lost students' support, which eventually led them to make up and join their forces together in order to give others the best help as possible.

## Relationships

#### Otis Milburn (friend; former sex therapy rival)

Otis and Sarah met after Otis started attending Cavendish College and wanted to set up his sex clinic there. He didn't know that Cavendish students already had a therapist who happened to be Sarah. The two started their rivalry, which led to the elections during which the students were supposed to vote for one of them. Eventually, both of them lost support from the students as their competition became irritating and childish. In the end they made up and decided to join forces and to help others together.

### Rivals

#### Ruby Matthews (former enemy)

Sarah and Ruby met at camp in primary school, and at first, were friends. Everything changed after Sarah saw Ruby wetting the bed and later told the other girls that were bullying Ruby just to impress them, as Sarah, just like Ruby, was feeling lonely back then. Because of Sarah's behavior, Ruby would get called a "bed-wetter" until the end of primary school.

The two met again a couple of years later at Cavendish, where Sarah, known as "O", was running her sex therapy clinic, becoming Otis' rival therapist. Despite this, Sarah acted like she didn't know Ruby or what happened between them. Wanting to take revenge on Sarah, Ruby decided to help Otis with beating her. After Sarah lost all of her support at school, and Ruby stopped being Otis' campaign manager, Sarah, thanks to Otis' encouragement, finally apologizes to Ruby. During the school fundraiser, after Cavendish students wanted O to get off the stage, Ruby stood up for her and said that everyone deserved a second chance, gaining Sarah's respect.
