The flowery, romantic bop of "Can't Help the Way I Feel" by Lily & Madeleine is meant to depict the fluttery feeling of new love, playing in the back of the coffee shop as Cassie hums along to it. Manager Gail catches Cassie looking much giddier than usual and asks if she's stills seeing Ryan – prompting a "good for you." We're meant to be happy for Cassie, maybe finally abandoning her revenge mission for Nina, as we hear the lyrics "Can't help the way I feel / You got me reelin' and I'm feelin' like it must be worth it / If you just call it how you want it, it'll all be perfect / Sitting pretty but I'm all alone."
It seems purposeful that the lyrics don't just end with "perfect," instead wrapping up at "sitting pretty but I'm all alone," depicting how there is a certain "prettiness" to the outside of the relationship between Cassie and Ryan, hiding a secret kind of solitude. Ryan does not know what Cassie is going through internally, dealing with Nina's rape and her eventual death, plus with her own need for revenge – in reality, these secrets create impenetrable distance between them.
