Evie is many things, controlled is not one of them. She can grow plants without a second thought and when that's not getting in her way her lack of social prowess is. It's not that she can't socialize. She just doesn't want to. Once she meets Jessica the new girl, her once scrambled sense of purpose begins to focus.
