Nell and Cricket become close friends and Nell almost tells Cricket she sees ghosts. During Season 1, Nell and Edward (Rick Glassman), her roommate, become enemies to friends and help each other with relationships. At the end of Season 1, Nell's ex-fiancé, Phillip (Ed Weeks) comes to Pasadena, California. First, Nell is still very mad at him as well as Sam and Dennis (Joshua Banday) but they make up and start dating. Until, Nell tells Phillip she sees ghosts and he says they should move away and she should quit her job. Nell breaks up with Phillip for good. Dennis and his husband, Ben start fostering twins at the end of Season 1.

At the beginning of Season 2, Lexi's father, Duncan (Brad Garrett) who she always tries to impress visits their office. Duncan asks Nell to help him write his obituary and help him be a better person. But, Nell finds out it's just to make Lexi work harder and he has not changed.
