Coffee Beans

These coffee beans symbolize an attempt at peace. Mickey gives coffee beans to Ahearn as a Christmas gift because she knows that he likes coffee. She intends the gift to help smooth the way to a friendship, but Ahearn never warms to her.

Dress

Mickey’s dress is a symbol of the relationship between Kacey and Mickey. Mickey wears the only dress she has, even though it is too small, to the ballet because she wants people to know that she understands how to act in those situations. When a boy makes fun of the dress, Kacey comes to Mickey’s rescue. Although it is not stated specifically, it is suggested that Kacey hits the boy. This episode illustrates how different Mickey and Kacey always were, but how willing Kacey always was to stand up for Mickey.
