Cassidy Finch is an intelligent and quite cynical person, but she is friendly and has a good heart. She was Axl Heck's tutor in season 4, when Axl realized he might not get into college through a football scholarship, as Sue ran over his foot with a car, causing a broken bone. This caused Axl to have to try and get into college based on his academic grade to earn a scholarship. Axl was mostly hitting on her at first, then kissed her, and they got into a relationship. They dated for a while before telling anyone, but their relationship came out in the open when Mike caught them kissing while Axl was supposed to be spending time with Mike and Frankie. They broke up at prom after realizing that they would have to break up before college, when they would be over 800 miles away from each other, as she was going to Vassar College in New York (although in the show, she simply refers to it as “Vassar”). In season 5, Axl received a message from a mystery girl on his phone. In the end, it turned out to be Cassidy. They began talking, which led to a potential re-spark in their relationship.

Cassidy seemed to get on well with the rest of the Heck family, particularly Brick when she noticed him reading Planet Nowhere. And Mike admitted she seemed nice after he caught them kissing when Axl was supposed to be spending time with him and Frankie. Frankie probably liked her as she never complained about Cassidy, or showed any hate against her like she did with Morgan and April. It is assumed she ended up marrying someone in New York, or found someone else to marry in Indiana, as she went to East Indiana University for a St. Patrick’s party, claiming she graduated 6 months early. It can be assumed she married someone who was not Axl in Indiana after she returned, but this is unknown.
