Then Cady became the new Queen Bee. Gretchen Wieners and Karen Smith pry Cady into having a small get-together.
Cady tried to seduce Aaron, telling him that she pretended to be bad at math in order to get closer to him, but threw-up on him after she couldn't control the word vomit after Aaron told her she was like a clone of Regina. Regina saw this and then later was told the truth about Kälteen Bars by Shane Oman. At this point Regina knew Cady was sabotaging her and decided to take-down the remaining 3 Plastics.
Cady took the sole blame for writing the Burn Book. She wins Spring Fling Queen and elects to break and share the plastic crown.
After that redemption she becomes what she calls an Actual Human Being. By the start of her senior year she is dating Aaron Samuels. Aaron was now attending Northwestern University. They see each other on weekends.
