Aiden Dennison: I'm not even going to ask what you were doing with my girlfriend. It's pretty obvious.
Glen Carlin: Maybe if you were a better boyfriend, she wouldn't be looking my way.
Aiden Dennison: Man, she's just using you to get to me.
Madison Duarte: Don't you throw that at me.
Spencer Carlin: [drunk] No, no... this is not what it looks like.
Madison Duarte: It's not? Because it looks like you've been getting dressed in the backseat of someone's Nissan Xterra.
Spencer Carlin: Hey Aiden, isn't that what you drive?

best show ever!

i started watching SON when it aired its 5th episode. i found out about the show through afterellen.com i was looking for an article to prove Angelina Jolie was bi and found an interview of Gabrielle Christian (Spencer) i read it and was instantly hooked. then i read recaps for every episode i missed and got all caught up. i think the show is absolutely amazing. its a great teen show and has something in it for every viewer. the relationship between Spencer and Ashley is handled very tastefully. its good that the show has story lines involving race, drugs, and sexual identity. the actresses and actors are really good and the story lines are written perfectly. Spencer and Ashley start as friends but viewers can tell right away from the first episode that they have great chemistry and will end up having a relationship as they did. the first season ended leaving viewers with the question, did they or didn't they have sex with each other that night. it was a great way to end and keep viewers hooked and next season will have to deal with the answer to that question and the next question, will the relationship last. Ashley has difficulties with relationships and has admitted to hooking up with random girls for no reason. on the flip side shes in love with Spencer and has never felt that before for any girl and is worried Spencer might be the one to brake her heart. Spencer has also never had these feelings before. Ashley is the first girl that Spencer has cared for that way and has been that close to and is ready to try the relationship out. these two both have strong feelings for each other and i hope it all works out in the next season and their love gets as strong as ever, they make a great couple and the chemistry is undeniable!
