I also thought, like, if Spencer was a girl and she was upset like that, she would probably notice how Brendon was feeling anyway, because we're trained to do that, women are, you know? The differences in Spencer was what made this interesting to write, actually.

Well, that and trying to get to a Spencer-and-Ryan dynamic that was sort of real-feeling. So I'm glad you liked the end--it was my favorite part to write.
