Both Fez and Lexi have been there for Rue and other characters on the show, but they never get the recognition or acknowledgement they deserve. Both are recognized by fans as quiet side characters who often do their best to deescalate intense situations created by their destructive peers. Lexi is often cast to the side and treated poorly when all she wants to do is be there for her friends and family.
Though Fez and Lexi run in similar circles, they had never directly crossed paths before — that is, until New Year's Eve. When they meet at the New Year's party in episode one of the second season, they shyly flirt and slowly open up to each other, with Fez seeing Lexi for who she is. He is fascinated by her random facts and questions why she always doubts herself (a question nobody else has ever taken the time to notice or ask).
