South of Nowhere

It's a new day. Ashley and Spencer wake up from their first night together fully committed to each other, just in time for the worst day of Ashley's life. Aiden, meanwhile, wakes up next to Madison wondering what he got himself into. Glen faces the days after a debilitating injury, while Clay copes with life after meeting his birth mother.

Ashley's only had a sister for a few weeks, and she's already sick of it. Things get ugly between her and Kyla, and a VH1 special about their dad makes them even worse. Oh, and the fact that Aiden's macking on Kyla can't be helping much either.

Spencer's freaked by Ashley's obsessions. It's bad enough that she's totally preoccupied with Kyla and Aiden's relationship, but now she's pressuring Spence to come out to her family. Clay's kind of freaked too—because Chelsea might be leaving forever.

When a hate crime erupts around Spencer at school and Glen's rage over her sexuality boils over at home, Spence finds herself caught in the middle of violent intolerance. Meanwhile Kyla pushes aside her relationship with Aiden, just when Madison's pushing to take her place.

Clay's past rips into his life when his birth mother moves into town. As he's reeling, Chelsea tells him a secret that could tear apart his future. Spencer has problems with her own past when an old friend from Ohio brings out a side of her that Ashley's never seen. Glen, meanwhile, can barely handle the present as his dependence on pain pills gets worse.

Spencer loves Ashley, and she's sick of hiding it. She decides to come out to her parents, whether they're ready to hear it or not. While Clay tries to help Chelsea cope with their future, Glen risks destroying his own when his drug addiction spirals out of control.
