Things on the inside, however, are much more complicated than that.

Those issues begin to make themselves known almost immediately.
Shes a clean freak, we all know it.
As Mary Anne moves things around, she notices a small door panel in the bottom of the closet.
What a dinner conversation!
Upstairs, however, the tension is brewing.
The girls have very different nighttime routines.
Dawn likes her relaxing incense, but that bothers Mary Annes sensitive lungs.
Its the first time her all good and its fine, but are really showing cracks.
So no, Richard, she would not like to see your super-cool coloring books for adults right now.
Now all bets are off.
At the next BSC meeting, Dawn cant hide the tension anymore.
I am afraid of your closet and the dark, sometimes.
And even healthy conflict.
But today, I face my fears, she declares before heading into the secret passageway.
Dawn has no choice but to follow.
Not surprisingly, they end up locked in there together, forced to work out their issues.
Theres nowhere to run now, girls!
That includes her house, but most tellingly, it includes her mother.

He tries one more time with the adult coloring book, this time explaining himself a little bit better.
It takes away its power.
Richard also wants Dawn to know that its okay for her to ask for help sometimes.

It doesnt take long for Dawn to ask if he has any colored pencils.
So many, he responds, because Richard Spier is a king.
What a lovely choice to include this scene in this episode.
Anyway, Im not, like, tearing up about it or whatever.
The Pikes have like 300 kids, so money is tight.
The BSC comes to the rescue but this makes Mallory really uncomfortable.
She doesnt want to be anyones charity case.
The Spiers arent ready for habanero sauce, guys.
Who taught you to dust?
