Spencer: Thanks, Aiden. I owe you one.
Aiden: Ahh, no problem. (looks at Spencer's puffy eyes) You been crying?
Spencer: Huh? (looks in the pull-down mirror) Oh, yeah. (rubs away the puffiness) It's been a bad night.
Aiden: Explain.

Spencer tells him about meeting Lexi, the whole "dad leaving home" situation, getting in a fight with her mom and then the other fight between her and Ashley.

Aiden: What did you and Ash get in a fight about?
Spencer: Lexi's intensions.
Aiden: Which are?
Spencer: Being a crazy girl. She was totally hitting on Ashley right in front of me. (pauses) And knew that I wouldn't like it.
Aiden: Ouch! So, she's... that way, too?
Spencer: Apparently.
Aiden: Man, how come every new girl is either gay or looks like a dude?
Spencer: I hope I'm the gay part.
Aiden: (has a mocking tone in his voice) No Spencer, you're the ugly part. (laughs)
Spencer: Well, she's got it bad.
Aiden: Why?
Spencer: Because she's been slapped with both of those hands.

They both laughed and Aiden pulls into Joe's Burgers and Fries. They park in one of the stalls and Aiden orders for the both of them.

Aiden: I hope you don't mind that I ordered for you.
Spencer: Oh, not at all. I wouldn't know what to get anyway.
Aiden: Yeah, this place is pretty good. Or, so I've been told.
Spencer: Oh, okay.
Aiden: You know what else I've been told?
Spencer: No. What?
Aiden: Well, it involves your brother.
Spencer: Which one?
Aiden: Curly blonde-haired, dorky one.
Spencer: Tell me! (getting excited)
Aiden: I don't know if I should.
Spencer: (punches him in the arm) Ahh, you're such a tease. You're the one that brought it up.
Aiden: I know. I'm just trying to push your buttons.
Spencer: Well, they're pushed so -- out with it!
Aiden: Okay. I heard from a 'source' that your brother and Madison weren't -- safe.
Spencer: (thinks hard for a minute) I don't get it.
Aiden: Just think about it.

Spencer thinks even harder this time and then, her mouth dropped and her eyes widened.

Spencer: Are you serious?

Aiden: Dead serious!
Spencer: Why would he -- (pauses) Wait a minute, who is your 'source'?
Aiden: Someone who I trust.
Spencer: Well, does this trustful person have a name?
Aiden: Of course. Here, I'll give you a hint. Her name starts with an 'S'.
Spencer: (closes her eyes; getting wrinkles on her forehead) Umm, is it Susan from Junior Chemistry?
Aiden: Nope. Try again.
Spencer: (gasps) I know it! It's Sherry, huh?
Aiden: Ding, ding, ding! Tell her what she's won, Bob!
Spencer: But, how could Madison's best friend tell everyone that kind of information?
Aiden: Easy. It's payback.
Spencer: Payback for what?
Aiden: Last year, Madison told everyone that Sherry slept with her own dad.
Spencer: Eww!
Aiden: I know. Which is a total lie because Sherry's dad died when she was 10 years old. And Madison told everyone that Sherry lied about her dad's death.

Spencer's mind immediately goes back to when Ashley lied about Andrea's death.

Spencer: How'd she get everyone to believe her?
Aiden: At the time, Madison was a pretty powerful girl. Everyone seemed to be intimidated by her. So, they just caught what she threw at them.
Spencer: How did Sherry react?
Aiden: She was so pissed. She told Madison that she was never going to speak to her, ever again. And we all knew that that wasn't going to happen.
Spencer: Ugh! (sighs) If someone ever did that to me, I would never forgive them.
Aiden: Speaking of which, how are you managing without Ash?
Spencer: Surprisingly well. (she gets a sad look on her face) I just -- I just thought that we had it all. (sharply raises her eyebrows) I guess I was wrong.
Aiden: No, you're not wrong. If anything, Ash is trying to pull some kind of psychology thing on you.
Spencer: What do you mean?
Aiden: Okay, see... you were mad at her, but now you're realizing that you need her. Aren't you?
Spencer: (looks at the steering wheel) Maybe.
Aiden: (chuckles) That's Ashley for you.
Spencer: Yeah but, I should still be mad at her, though. But, I can't help but want her. (softly giggles) How does she do that?
Aiden: Who knows. Years of therapy, I'm guessing.

They both slightly laugh and then they get their food and eat it quite quickly.

After Aiden dropped Spencer off at her house, she unwillingly goes inside.

Spencer: (to herself) This is stupid. Why am I even back here? (sighs out loud) Because I have nowhere else to go.

She makes her way into the kitchen to find her two brothers eating cereal.

Spencer: (tilts her head to one side and narrows her eyes) It's 12:25... why are you guys eating cereal?
Glen: Because, we don't know how to cook and mom left. (looks at his bowl) Which is your fault, by the way.
Spencer: Shut up, Glen!
Clay: Glen, leave Spencer alone. (looks at her) Did you already eat?
Spencer: Yeah. (holds up her take-out cup)
Glen: Well thanks for offering some to us.
Spencer: (shakes her head while rolling her eyes) You're so pathetic.
Glen: No I'm not. You are. (takes a spoonful of cereal and deposits it in his mouth) I'm not the one who's gay.

Spencer's eyes darted to him, then to Clay.

Glen: (looks at Clay) What? You didn't know?
Clay: (in shock) I guess not. Spencer, is that true?
Spencer: (trying to change the subject) Shut up, Glen! At least I'm not expecting a baby any time soon!

Glen heard this and just about choked on his cereal.

Glen: Spencer, it's just a rumor -- I swear-- if you tell anyone else...
Spencer: You'll do what? Actually, be 'responsible' for once?

Glen scoots his chair out from under him, goes to the refrigerator, gets out an apple juice and then walks past Spencer and out of the kitchen.

Clay: Okay, obviously... I have no clue as to what's going on here. Would you mind filling me in?

Spencer shakes her head and exits the kitchen.

Clay: Jeez, I must have a 'Loser' sign on my forehead, or something.

He goes back to eating his cereal; dumbfounded.
