Agreed. I'm watching this movie again right now. It's kind of addicting, lol. But yeah, it's apparent when the two of them meet up again that there has been a long attraction going on. You can tell on Grace's part at least because when she sees Alex for the first time in awhile she can't take her eyes off Alex. You can see this when she hugs Spencer, she still can't take her eyes off Alex. With Grace, she probably had realized the sexual feelings for what they were. Alex, however, was probably too busy living the life that she thought that she should be living. She's had deep feelings for Grace but didn't recognize them as a romantic crush. When Grace told her that she was a lesbian, it most likely sparked something in Alex. That's why Alex rented all those movies, she wanted to explore her own feelings more. She wanted to see what lesbian relationships looked like. The realization that she had romantic feelings toward Grace was probably pretty sudden...but those feelings had definitely been around for years.
That's my take on it.

or maybe it's just me... that I picked up on that little "something-something" between the two of them when Alex saw Grace at the Hope House. Honestly I thought it was pretty funny how "close" Alex seemed to get with her old friend Grace and how unaware she seemd to be about it (at least to me :-), and how obvious it seemed to Grace and Spencer. I guess some folks just have better gaydar than others
Considering the time constraints in the movie I'll forgive them (writer/producer/editor) for how rushed the budding relationship seemed to be as well as other "oddities" (like the all black choir, which totally rocked but seemed out of place by their sudden appearence from no where...).
