Spencer
and Clay are at teen club doing some bonding.
Spencer gets miffed because the bartender is blowing
her off in favor of some bobble-head blondes (proof
that the show is fictional). A glamorous looking girl
approaches them and explains to Spencer that the bartender
always favors the “Barbie Girls.” She tells Spencer
“If you’re not half-naked you’re invisible.” Just as I’m thinking about this girl, “Well
you kind of look like a half-naked Barbie
Girl” she calls out to the bartender and gives him their
drink order. He
promptly serves them. Is a girl not
a Barbie Girl if she knows she’s a Barbie Girl? I’m
confused.
The
girl’s name is Kelly, and she goes to a different school
from that of Clay and Spencer.
She offers to let them hang out with her, and
good boy Clay (who is practically salivating over her)
runs to get them a table.
Kelly notes, “Your boyfriend sure seems eager
to please.” Spencer laughs, “My boyfriend? No, he’s
my brother.” Kelly’s
eyes glint with interest. “So you’re single?” Spencer
perkily replies, “Yeah, so far.”
The
next day, Ashley is suspicious of Spencer’s encounter
with Kelly. “So,
are you gonna tell me about your night out with your
new ‘friend’?” Spencer
says, “She has a name, you know.” Ashley tells her, “oh yeah, she has a lot of
names. Most of them consist of 4 or 5 letters!”
Is bad girl Ashley suggesting that someone else
is a slut?
Spencer
asks, “How many letters does ‘I’m allowed to have a
new friend’ have?” Aww--it’s
their first fight over jealousy!
Ashley says she’s just looking out for Spencer,
because Kelly is “bad news.” Spencer reminds her that everyone said the same
thing about Ashley, “and besides, that doesn’t mean
that she doesn’t deserve to have friends.”
Ashley finally has to really break it down for
her, “You are so clueless sometimes. You do know that
she’s gay don’t you?” Spencer can’t believe it. The
Barbie-gear threw her off. “She is not! You need to reboot your gaydar.” “Whatever, it’s better than the old Breeder
Meter.”
Then
Spencer temporarily lames out. “What is it that every
gay person is so sure that everybody else is gay?” Ashley quickly puts her in her place, “It’s not
everybody else, just the gay ones.”
I love this girl.
Then
Ashley spots her mom on the school campus. Her mom is a Beverly Hills-train wreck--dripping
with money, self-obsessed, and completely inappropriate.
Mom
has a new boyfriend who is spending the night and she
hasn’t told him that she has a daughter. So she wants
Ashley to disappear for the night.
She’s thoughtfully prepared an overnight bag
for Ashley, including “that little sundress that makes
you look so feminine.”
Clay
and his friend Sean are offering Spencer a
ride home when Kelly pulls up a in a flashy
convertible. Spencer
quickly bops off to join her instead of the guys.
Clay is still trying to wave to Kelly, and she’s
still blowing him off.
Kelly
tells Spencer that she has bought them tickets to a
sold out concert. And
is if that weren’t enough, Spencer digs Kelly’s ride.
“This is such a cool car. Do you think we could lose
the top?” Kelly
smirks, “You want to go topless?” and begins to rip
off her shirt. Spencer grabs the wheel and yelps, “No,
I meant the car!” Spencer
needs to make a note of this and ask herself how many
of her straight friends try to strip for her. The information
will be handy later in the episode.
Glenn
and Aiden are still fighting over Madison. I resist the urge to fast foward over
them and get back to the Kelly/Spencer story. Madison
watches them go at it and says to her girls, “It’s time
for Mamacita to dispense a little discipline.”
She goes to Glenn and whispers something to him.
Ashley
calls Spencer because she has nowhere to go for the
night (her dad is too busy entertaining his girlfriend).
So Spencer insists that she come over and spend the
night at her place. But there is one little problem, “I’m going
to see DJ Money tonight.” Ashley wants to know who with,
adding, “And don’t lie because I know that it’s Kelly.”
Spencer admits that she’s going with Kelly, and
invites Spencer to join them. Ashley says no, she’ll just stay home with Spencer’s
wholesome family.
Spencer
tries to convince her that she won’t be the third wheel
if she joins them. Ashley tells her, “You’re damn right!
You can find someone else to chaperone you on your big
date.” Spencer whines, “Ash, it’s not a date.”
Ashley tells her, “Yeah, remind me of that when
she’s trying to score.” Click. Spencer,
why won’t you listen to Ashley?
She’s been around the block a few times and you’ve
lived here for, like, five minutes.
At
the end of the basketball game, Glenn and Aiden
are still fighting. But Madison
snaps her fingers and Aiden is right by her side. “That’s
because you love me,” she tells him. “No,” he corrects
her, “That’s because I’m a whore.” But she likes that
about him, and whispers something in his ear.
