Taylor is standing outside watching the whole thing and Cory closes the door blocking out Taylors view which pisses her off. Taylor starts to yell out her frustrations and Shanley tells her that Cory and Alicia need to have this moment because they shared a relationship before the show and feelings were hurt and that Alicia needs to get this closure.
