The morning after Cassandra's actions had caused Rapunzel's long hair to grow back, she wasn't happy that Eugene knows of it, but was glad that he isn't aware of the part she played in it and that he wants to help her hide Rapunzel's sudden hair growth from everyone else. With that problem solved, Eugene goes to have a quick talk with Cassandra while she is giving Rapunzel's coronation dress a finishing touch, because they dislike each other their talk about nearly turned into a fight until she tells him that "That's not true, I don't like you for anybody," which had gotten Eugene to realize that Cass might be right despite her harshness.

Season One
Because Cassandra knows what would happen to her once the King or her father learns that it was her idea to sneak Rapunzel over the boarder wall that night, and has learned that Eugene is terrible of keeping secrets, she wanted him to be the last person to know. When Cass reminded Eugene of that fact after he clamed that he can keep a secret in "What the Hair?!", it later led to trouble shortly after he followed Cass and Rapunzel to Old Corona and wanted to prove Cassandra wrong when Varian told him a secret he wants him to keep. With their rivalry motivating Eugene to keep a secret from Cassandra, he was later forced to reveal what it is when Varian's well-meaning water heating system was beginning to blow. After the dust settled and Eugene was told by Rapunzel that Cassandra was with her the night her hair grew back, he agreed to keep it a secret. As even though he would love to out do Cass and they don't view each other as friends, he knew that keeping quite about the secret that would get Cassandra in trouble once it gets out would allow him another chance to prove her wrong.

At the beginning of "Fitzherbert P.I.", the two take a look at some of Corona's prize portraits while Cass tells Eugene about the people in them. When Eugene later decided to get a job as a royal guard, Cassandra watches him being trained by her father and could tell that he was trying to prevent Eugene from becoming a guard; because of his past. Despite loathing the man as much as her father does, Cassandra decides to help Eugene by giving him some friendly advice that allowed him to pass the challenges and become a royal guard.

That she is the biological daughter of Mother Gothel, the woman who had stabbed Eugene in the Tangled film. Eugene had tried to stop Cassandra from leaving the Dark Kingdom but failed, he later learns that he and his traveling party are needed back in Corona.

Friendship
When it was revealed that the two were both orphans who didn't know who their birth parents were, a few fans had began to theorize that the two might had been siblings.
