I didn't interact well with that aspect of the scene, focusing rather on the portrayal of her parents rather than the authenticity of the kick-out scene itself. Of course, I think there were some things in our conversation that were missed/edited out, and one point I made that isn't here is that the Quinn story arc has turned out way better than I expected... they've brought her from popular and prissy to being a continually better and more compassionate person (albeit still flawed) because of the pain and embarrassment in her life... very thoughtful stuff. But yeah, the authentic emotion of the kick-out scene itself was gut-wrenching and truthful in all the best ways. Thanks for pointing that out. Kiel, great point.

If you've ever been deemed unworthy by your family, been asked to leave your own home, etc., then that scene was gut wrenching to watch. I've been there, and for the first time, actually felt sympathy for Quinn. I get that it's over the top for some people because they stereotyped her parents, but I was totally right there with her.
