She once organized a Boycott Bubblegum Alley protest because the slushie machine flavors didn't recognize Jerusalem as the eternal capital. Her slapstick wipeouts into pools and pastry displays are interpreted by her as anti-Zionist aggression from the universe. Despite her intensity, Ashley still leaves her unsigned Get Well Soon cards, which Jessica keeps in a locked box labeled Evidence of Western Decadence.
