The preview to next week's episode - Holy Crap!!

ETA: Meanwhile, tonight's episode was okay, but below par for me.

Very dramatic preview for next week's episode! Can't wait to see it! Spoiler-free people should definitely avoid this preview though.

I liked this episode much more than last week's. I enjoyed the Crosby storyline with the house and found myself really feeling for him. I was annoyed with Adam pretty much the whole episode. He's got his holier-than-thou attitude going again.

I'm getting sick of Sarah's kids always blaming her for everything that goes wrong in their lives. She's doing her best and trying to encourage her kids, which is what most parents do.

I feel for Julia but I'd like to see them move on with a different storyline for her. I'm getting bored with this one. I just hope they don't make her miraculously become pregnant. That would annoy me.

Anyway, good episode and once again, the preview for next week has me very excited!

Wow... I really liked this one. I didn't expect to because I thought it was going to be too much prom, but it wasn't. Julia was breaking my heart in this one. Loved how Sarah made Adam change his view on Crosby. The hug between brothers was nice. Drew is still MIA... I wonder what is up. All in all I thought it was a solid episode.

YEAAAH, Bev! My god!

I liked tonight's episode.

- I'm glad Julia also has her arm broken, just like Erika. this 'real-life touch' is awesome.
- Kraham scenes. No need to say anything about it. They nailed it!
- Cute prom. I like Amber's look better than Haddie's.
- I feel kinda sorry for Crosby. I knew Adam would show up, it was a bit obvious, but it's nice to see the 4 siblings together again, I missed those scenes.

The argument between Richard Dreyfus' character (can't remember his name) and Sarah was really special. I love seeing Lauren play opposite great actors because she holds her ground wonderfully.

Word! Their scenes are great!

Crosby made me laugh when he asked Sarah to "put herself first later" (can't remember his words, but it's something like this). Poor Sarah!

And yes Debbie, Adam was also annoying me with the prom stuff. I mean, he had a lot of fun at his prom, right? So, now it's his daughter's turn. that's life.

Another packed episode, I don't know where to start.

The promo stuff you just knew was going to happen since Adam went on about it so much before the fact.

Crosby buying the house is crazy but a sign he is willing to do anything to get Jasmine to forgive him and assuming we get a renewal I guess we know what Joel will be doing for part of next season. It was nice Adam turned up after the talk with Sarah.

Julia bonding with Sydney some more and breaking down with Camille was touching, nice they worked in her real broken arm into the script.

Amber, again more drama with her life and now wanting to lead it herself, officially. Shame they cut the scene with her in the car being turned down for sex by her date, wouldn't that be a first on prom night?

And Sarah, like Gilliam is pushing her to be better, loved there shouting match as she was leaving to see Amber off to prom.

I think that's about it, apart from where is Drew? Why didn't they just send him on the road with Seth?

BTW were is the promo, the usual youtube account hasn't posted any new promos since PH last week.

What I enjoyed most was Richard Dreyfuss/LG. If there is any emmy nom scene for this season so far, they have to include this whole episode for LG!

I think that having such a high caliber actor to play off of is really making the best of LG shine, and for that both of them deserve emmy nominations.

I think that MWhitman is also performing the hell out of Amber, even if I really dislike Amber the character now.

And I agree that it's unfair of Amber to keep blaming Sarah for everything - I have to admit that if I felt for anyone this episode, it was Sarah.

I feel like Julia should be more appreciative of what she DOES have - Sydney. A lot of people can't get pregnant ONCE.

Wow i really enjoyed this episode much better than last weeks meh episode!

Im glad it wasnt too much at prom, that would have annoyed me, and Haddie and Alex was bound to happen, tbh that stoyline is just like annoying me now :/

I feel for Crosby, but at the same time im bored of him being sad and angry all the time. Loved his scene with Sarah

Poor Julia, i like that she cried into Camille, its nice that she was part of it

And Sarah, well i felt so bad for her. Ughh im really not liking Amber right now, she is blaming Sarah and all Sarah has tried to do is encourage her!
However on the good side, i loved the scene where Amber tells Sarah she is going to prom, that was sweet, and i loved all the Gilliam and Sarah stuff
"seatbelts, SEATBELTS!" hahahahaha

And, OMG, promo for next week! :O

I really liked this episode! I like the prom part because it wasnt a lot but it was funny, i love what Zeek said about alex taking his beer! oh men! soo funny!...

I want to know about sara's play, what is about and how she put her family in it! because you can tell when she sees amber going out to smoke she gets into writting so obviosly all the frustration and everything will be reflected in there!

I really like haddie's dress and especially the shoes! they were really nice, hahah...

i never really liked julia, but everyday i found her more likeable and more real, and i want to know about her more, so good job to erika and the writters!

crosby looks so sad, i just want to hug him.

drew and max were MIA! weird!

i can wait for next episode, although the promo looks a little to "Telenovela" (soap opera) i hope they don't go there!

Well, the question is, to do or not to do… I think they did, with Haddie smiling all smug and stuff. I guess we’ll learn in the next episode.

Peter on the way to forgive Crosby… or at least talking to him, it’s progress.

All in all I love how Gilliam can challenge Sarah and therefore force the good stuff out of her.

Poor Sarah. Amber blaming her - she just does what she think is best. Like you all said, it's unfair of Amber to blame her mom.

Liked the episode… but my goodness, next week. I'm spoiler free, soo.... Oh boy

good episode, great to see adam/crosby come together. the julia story was a bit trite for my tastes. I wonder what happened to the apt crosby had with jasmine? I recall them both saying that they couldn't afford it alone. Oh and I feel the same re: sara and amber.

next weeks looks intense. It's the season (or series) closer right!?
