Am I the only one who notices that Carrie is becoming a huge part of Team Austin, more so than Jace/Gavin/Piper (even though Gavin and Piper leave quickly)? I guess it's probably because Jace doesn't live in Miami and Gavin/Piper leave quickly, but still... Dallas, Kira, and Brooke (the most recurring characters) never joined the group that much either.

This is more obvious in future episodes, which is why I posted it here. Records & Wrecking Balls has her as a part of the group that's trying to save Sonic Boom (the rest being Austin, Ally, Trish, and Dez- and no one else). She hangs out with them more than Gavin in Fashion Shows & First Impressions (Piper was just introduced and Jace doesn't appear, so they don't count). And she's at the red carpet in Relationships & Red Carpets, but Jace isn't.
