You love her. You fight for her.

Oh man this was such a good episode! I haven't seen an episode this good in a while now, so it was much needed.

Best story lines -

  • Omigosh Amber! Amber, you're going to make a great mom, don't be sad! I love seeing her with kids all the time lately, it's really changing her and making her pretty awesome. Stupid Max, ha ha, and why on earth did they plan a trip to Alcatraz, what were Adam and Kristina thinking letting them do that. LOVED the scene between Amber and her mom where she reminds her that babies start out tiny and all they do is poop, HA ha ha. So true. And baby poops are cute anyway. 
  • The Drew and Zeek story. Omigosh I LOVE Drew's girlfriend. Not only is that girl a great actress (thought so from the beginning), but I love how her character pushes him to do the right thing and stop being selfish. SO great when Drew comes back and tells his grandpa they're going somewhere and it's on a "need to know basis." And he shoots a gun for him! Oh man, I need to live my life more like this. Oh yeah, and best dialogue between Drew and Natalie.. "Maybe it wasn't about you." "I know it wasn't about me." Ugh! Love it. We get so mad when stuff isn't about us or when we can see someone is just doing something for selfish reasons, so blind to ourselves and how we are being selfish as well. So I'm glad Drew saw the truth and made a change.
  • JOEL AND JULIA!! Omigosh guys, you're gonna get back together, right? Joel gave her the house! Her heart is being warmed. She sent Old College Lover home, and Joel came back to fight for her. SO good. I hate that victim mentality.. "Well this is what Julia wants, so I'm just gonna let her go blah blah sob sob." Thank goodness for Zeek and waking Joel up, that needed to happen. 
Whew. Okay, so this was a great episode full of great truth and acting. Oh wait. Actually I'm not a big fan of Hank's daughter's acting, her fake crying and whining is sort of making me nuts, but I did really like that story line anyway, even if it is bringing Hank closer to his ex-wife. Loved how Sarah handled the Ruby situation with the guy, so funny, and it was great how concerned she was when Hank so casually mentioned her actual daughter had been crying. "Why was she crying?" "I don't know." "You didn't ASK her?" HA ha ha. Oh Hank, you're learning, and we're rooting for you.

Okay so I guess this was the episode Kristina, Adam, Crosby and the Crosby peeps were not on, but hey I still really liked it and didn't really miss 'em that much. Interesting how some missing characters are more obvious / missed than others. I'm being mean now. I should be done. 

Can't wait for next week!
