When Casey goes to Izzie's house for the first time in the Atypical episode, "Dead Dreams," she meets her mom, Sasha Taylor. Though Izzie is visibly uncomfortable when Sasha and Casey are initially interacting, the two quickly bond over energy and auras.

Sasha later reads Casey's tarot cards, and she has only positive things to say about the teen. However, when Sasha looks at her own daughter's cards, she notices a lot of "darkness."
