Damn, this episode blew by incredibly fast! I thought I had
another 15-20 minutes left! What the hell! Fantastic episode
that actually had me nervous for some reason. I keep waiting for
Ryan to blow up at Amber. Trust me, it's coming and the fact
that she told him to take the ring back and get something
smaller (i.e. cheaper) is just the start of their eventual doom
as a couple. There is also something else at work too. Amber
gave Kristina permission to use her affair with Bob Little as
ammunition to go dirty in her mayoral campaign. She didn't
hesitate to grant permission which to me sounds like she wants
to terminate her relationship with Ryan once and for all knowing
full well how he would react to news like this.
The bit with Jabbar taking ballet and Crosby's coming to terms
with it was entertaining. Julia and Joel have their hands tied
up now that they have broken the news to Victor that he is being
held back in school. I don't see their marriage surviving at
all. There is so much resentment from Joel toward Julia that it
couldn't be fixed, even if they wanted it fixed. Getting back to
Kristina, now that she is slipping in the polls, I still don't
think she will release the information about Amber's affair.
That's not to say that Heather, her campaign manager won't go
behind her back and release it herself. I actually expected it
to happen this episode. Saving it for next week no doubt.

Awesome episode. It was both funny and rich with serious drama
that is finally baring fruit. We get a couple of huge, explosive
fights that come to a head. First off, Ryan finally explodes in
a fit of rage. If you have been watching this season, it was a
no-brainer that this was coming. I actually thought it would
come sooner. Anyway, I knew that the drummer from the band was
going to be on the receiving end given the fact that there is an
obvious attraction toward Amber. Factor in Ryan's pent up rage,
insecurity, being asked to return engagement ring and hiding his
pill addiction.....of course it was going to end in a violent
rage. I really hope that the writers do the right thing here and
make it so that Amber finally walks away. After all that went
down, if they have her sticking around, it's just going to leave
a sour taste in my mouth. But I know that isn't always the
easiest thing to do....to walk away.
As for Julia and Joel, it's not as cut and dry where one side is
a fault and the other side is the victim. I actually agree with
both of them as to what they are dealing with. I get that Julia
is feeling left out and frustrated that Joel isn't really
addressing their problems and he has chosen to be distant about
it. On the flip-side, I totally agree with Joel in that he has
been marginalized by her regarding work. He was there for her as
the stay at home dad while she was the bread winner, but it
hasn't been reciprocated on her part. There is absolutely no
support from her as he's become the bread winner. Add to the
fact that she barges in on him at work and then takes it out on
his Boss was just totally uncalled for.
Loved the whole thing about Crosby "voting"...Private vs Public.
Hahahaha. Funny stuff. Add to the fact that he goes through the
process of buying another mans vote....priceless. Too bad about
Kristina. I really thought she would win. I wanted her to win.
Mac, you really should be watching this season. It's a huge step
up from last year. Really looking forward to seeing how the
entire series wraps up. Props for Max finally asking a girl out
to be his steady. Hank was great in giving him advice.

I'm OK. I've had my run and fill of the show.
My wife has it on, so I do or watch other stuff.
I was truly getting frustrated with some of the characters.

What the f*ck! The ending caught me off guard a bit. I'll get to
that soon. As for the bulk of this episode, it was all about
Amber and her seeking out advice on what to do regarding Ryan. I
thought that common sense would prevail and that Amber listening
to advice was more about trying to get people to agree with her
that walking away was the smart play for her to do. So, when she
comes back to confront Ryan I immediately assumed that she was
finally going to severe ties with him and move on. Nope. She
lays it out that she wants to marry him, have babies with him
and be there for him in spite of his serious flaws. It's all for
naught because unbeknownst to her, it had already re-enlisted as
civilian life was and is not for him. Even though this is the
best thing for her, even if she can't see it, I was really irked
by Amber's blind devotion to the idea of getting married in
spite of all the warning signs. Ugh. She can really p*ss me off
at times.
I seriously don't like Julia anymore. Well, I have been getting
more and more irritated with her the past few episodes for sure.
But her hypocrisy in this one was the last straw. She is so fast
to accused Joel about everything. That he isn't "there". So what
does she do the moment Joel makes an effort and spends time with
the family? She goes over to Ed's house to tell him in person to
stop calling and emailing her which leads to them kissing. It
wasn't a mistake. This is what she wanted. If it wasn't, then
you send an email saying "not to call or email anymore".
Hypocrite!
As for the ending, it's regarding Drew who spends the entire
episode whining and moping about how the new girl he likes wants
nothing more than booty calls (friends with benefits) and how he
will try to change his way to fit into her lifestyle. This is
the thing I have never liked about this character. He is too
clingy and so willing to always make the change in order to get
some chick to like him. He has no balls and is more of a girl
than Amber is, which is saying a lot. So, the entire episode was
about trying to change himself, when of course he is secretly
wishing that the new girl will settle down and just be with him.
This all becomes a moot point when his own girlfriend (can't
remember her name at the moment) knocks on his door. Fade to
black......
FYI, this episode was tailor-made for Mac with the amount of
crying Amber does. It was wall-to-wall tears that I'm sure Mac
would have been hugging and consoling his TV. ;D Speaking of
Amber or more specifically Mae Whitman who plays her, she's was
probably exhausted with a migraine the size of Texas after
shooting this episode. I would imagine she would be exhausted
all the time, but definitely during this shoot for sure.

Yea, well, watching this episode probably would have put me over
the edge. Playing the drinking game when Amber cries, sounds
like it would have given me alcohol poisoning.
From your description of Amber and her actions, I've heard of
women like that, for some reason have blinders on, or worse are
attracted to obvious train wrecks. aka, women who marry
prisoners.
Anyway, thanks for the summary. It's better for me to read
through in a minute, than sit and watch this unfold over an
hour, or worse a season. Sorry, didn't mean to say worse. I've
just had my fill of the show.
