Casey's emotional state and actions are largely driven by her grief over her mother's recent unexpected death. This connection ties her to Luke, who lost a daughter, and to Silas, who lost a sister. It also connects to Oscar, whose wife died from cancer. Each of these characters are shaped in some way by personal grief.
