Knocking On Heaven's Door—Continuing her ballsalicious bender from last week, Ashley pounds on Spencer's front door and practically pushes Mother Superior out of the way to get in.

Ashley: I want to see Spencer.
Paula: Well I'm afraid that's not going to happen.
Ashley: Really? Spencer!

She calls out to Spence as she barges through the door, but Paula shoves her back out again.

Paula: You are not welcome in my home, so just go.
Ashley: Don't you want her to be happy? Doesn't she deserve that?

No, not so much. Paula tries to shove her out again and Ashley shoves right back.

Ashley: I am not leaving. I will stay out here all night and day if I have to, but I'm not going anywhere.
Paula: Great! Then I'll just have you arrested.

Spencer finally gets off her ass and comes to the door. Maybe it was the mention of Ashley in handcuffs?

Ashley: Spencer, please, let's just leave.
Paula: Spencer, You are not going anywhere
Spencer: Mom, stop it!
Ashley: You can try to keep her away from me, but you cannot keep me away from her, Paula.
Paula: Watch me. (Then, to brainwash dude who arrives at the door) Hello!

Creepy brainwash guy introduces himself as Crawford Taylor and tells Spencer, “I'm here to get you through this.”

Spencer looks confused. Maybe she thinks he's there to cart Paula off for some anti-bitch reparative therapy.

He tells Spencer, “We'll get you back to a normal lifestyle.” Spencer sputters, “What?” while Paula gloats and Ashley's head nearly explodes.

Paula swings around and says, “Goodbye Ashley” before unceremoniously shoving her off the doorstep and slamming the door in her face.

Hey, couldn't that technically be considered assault? Or child abuse? Or lesbian abuse?

The homophobes and Spencer all sit down for tea and creepy man tells her, “This is probably the worst day of your life.”

He looks vaguely familiar.

Spencer: Oh I don't know. The other night sucked too when mom walked in.
De-Gayer: I have a lot of experience in this area, and I've helped a lot of people with your condition.
Spencer: What condition? Being in love with a girl or having a mother who can't accept that?
Paula: Spencer, I just want you to have the best life that you can.
De-Gayer: Your mother was crying when she called me on the phone.

Because the pain and humiliation you felt when your privacy was invaded and you were told you were disgusting by your own mother was really hard for her too!

De-Gayer: Your mother does love you. She just doesn't understand your choice.
Spencer: Love? Love is unconditional, it's not something you feel someone only when they act like you want them to.
De-Gayer: True. And is your love for Ashley unconditional?
Spencer: Yes.

Paula sighs and rolls her eyes. Because she's a master communmicator.
