History[]
Season 1[]
In the season, Katie visits Alexa in the hospital and was there with her when Dr. Bretweiser clears her for school. Katie finds out that Alexa has started to lose hair and shaves her head for Alexa. Katie needs to buy a wig for school and is forced to buy a $300 and $50 wig after accidentally leaving the store with them. Jennifer tells Katie to return the $300 wig and they'll buy it next week instead. Katie refuses to tell Alexa about her money struggles and only mentions it when she's in line to buy Jack's video game. Katie decides to try out for basketball with the help of Alexa and Lucas, she doesn't make the team, but now everyone believes her to be the girl with cancer when her wig falls off. Katie decides to be a "cancer girl" for Alexa and starts receiving gifts from people. Katie is forced to watch an R-rated movie with Alexa when Alexa believes she's "ungroundable". Katie tells Alexa to go to the Wellard sign by herself and thought she would return soon. Alexa didn't return and Katie goes to the Wellard sign to meet her. Katie auditions for the role of Juliet with the help of Alexa and her stuffed animals. During auditions, Katie hears Vanessa calling her "sick girl" and she gets nervous, messing up her lines. She ends up getting the role which shocked everyone, even herself. Katie went to two rehearsals, the first one where she ends up throwing up from hearing whispers of people referring to her as "cancer girl" and wonders if she deserves the part. In her second rehearsal, Alexa comes to support her with Bernard, a stuffed bunny with judgemental eyes. Everyone stood up and clapped and wouldn't stop, for Katie which stresses her out and she runs out of the room, followed by Alexa. Alexa reveals to everyone that she has cancer so that Katie doesn't have to go through it for her. Katie follows Alexa around as she pranks Gwenny. When Katie realizes that Alexa is upset from the fact that none of her pranks is affecting Gwenny, who she hoped would be mean to her in return. Katie begs Gwenny to be mean to her and Gwenny reveals that she's only acting nice so her reputation won't be ruined. Realizing only one prank would push Gwenny over the edge, Katie does one on Gwenny. A light prank that ends up being a horrible prank that causes Gwenny to rip Alexa's wig. Katie tells Alexa that she would stall the photographer by starting a fire. Alexa calls her mother to bring a new wig and Katie reaches her hand out for the fire alarm but Alexa shouts at her. Alexa decides to take her photo without her wig because she finally realized that cancer didn't own her and she was her own person.
