Amy Juergens' power of empathic manipulation:

The first episode this is made evident in is S1E5, the episode entitled 'What Have You Done To Me?'. Ben and Amy go out for a picnic in the park, and as Ben looks around, two other couples are seen; Couple A: a young man and woman with a baby, Couple B: an elderly couple holding hands. Both couples seem to be happy and content. Shortly after Ben proposes to Amy, however, she begins to cry, realizing he knows about her pregnancy. This sparks negative emotional reactions in the other two couples. Couple A's baby starts crying and is unable to be calmed down, while Couple B suddenly engages in a heated argument. Both couples' moods change drastically as soon as Amy begins to cry, showing that Amy has manipulated their emotions. This could also explain why Ben falls madly and deeply in love with Amy after their first encounter, and could also be a possible explanation for Amy's ability to cause Ricky (a teenage boy experienced in sexual activity) to orgasm after, roughly, two and a half minutes, on her first sexual encounter. Amy's ability could be a possible cause behind much of the linkage and mystery that shrouds TSLOTAT.
