Christy initially follows her rule, but after thinking about Nick and having a talk with Bonnie, she decides to break it, and Nick becomes a love interest for Christy.
Christy tries to break it off and then finds out the real reason she was never supposed to date him: he was institutionalized for being crazy and too clingy.
