It still grates on me, though, because as the "main" character (i.e. the team leader and one of the ones with the most focus in the show), we're supposed to naturally sympathize with her more. Then she starts acting bratty. And...it really doesn't do a good job showing that she realizes she was wrong. I'd be fine with it if they were trying for the message that sometimes your parents might seem unfair, but it's no reason to run away. She just decides she's had enough of her misadventure and goes back home. It's lacking in resolution.
I think I probably oversay this, but Caleb is awesome. He really is. It's like he wandered into the wrong show sometimes--he expects to be in a world that operates on more logic than this. So he's not fooled by an Astral Drop. And drags her over to the others. And he might not be great in terms of social skills, but he tries.
