Ashley and Spencer in Ashley's bedroom
The long-awaited kiss

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 - Home

Back at home, Spencer and her dad are in the middle of a sweet conversation about their complicated love lives (basically he’s telling her he loves her even if she turns out to be a big queer) when the doorbell rings.

It’s Ashley, who Dad not only invites in and greets, but smiles warmly at as she leads his daughter out of the room. Who is this guy?

Ashley apologizes for “the come here and go away trip I’ve been putting you through. ”When Spencer asks her why she would act that way, Ash says, “Because I want you, and I don’t want to hurt you.”

Once again, Spence doesn’t flinch. “I can take care of myself. And with some left over to take care of you…” (Marry her Ashley!) Ashley smiles and tells her, “Come to my place tonight…”(Ok, that will work too. )

Cut to the Montage of Misery. Glen is howling in pain at the hospital, Mother Superior is crying in the arms of Doctor Ben, Dad is home drinking alone, Clay is sitting in sad contemplation, Madison is yelling at Glen in his hospital room and then leaving to make a move on Aiden, who goes green at the prospect of being in her clutches again.

And then there’s Spencer and Ashley, all smiles as they burst into Ashley’s room and stop for a long (and long-overdue) kiss. Despite the fact that Ashley needed to move her damn hand so that we could really see them kiss, it was a good one.

But wait, there’s more! Ashley leads Spencer to her bed as the camera goes out of focus, kissing her again as the two slide down on the bed and out of the shot.

Did they? Didn’t they? I guess we can each draw our own conclusions on that one. (Yes, they did.)

But I think the most important thing is that we’ve all learned a valuable lesson here. While it’s not kind to condemn any “lifestyle,” it’s pretty obvious that heterosexuality is rife with unstable and unfulfilling relationships, substance abuse, loneliness, and general depravity.

If anything, we should really take pity on these lost souls and hope that they one day will find their way to righteousness.

Like our happy, well-adjusted, loving and caring couple Spencer and Ashley.
