Via tvguide.com..

Harriet works on her movie while Matt suffers from writer's block, but it's the sexual-harassment lawyer (Kari Matchett) who is the real distraction. Meanwhile, Jordan and Danny compete to see who would be a better parent.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this episode. Especially the Danny/Jordan part

Poor Matt he is really taking all this so badly. Can't wait to see this episode.

I just saw the episode. It's mt favorite, actually. It's a tie between the christmas episode and this one. It was just one scene with Matt and Harriet and I actually liked it. They didn't fight. Yay! LOVED the scenes between Jordan and Danny. And finally we got to see a couple of kisses. So cute. I love them. I just wanted to go aaawwww. Everyone had the same screentime this time which I liked. I didn't like when it was about just Matt the last time.

I completely agree with you, sanna. I think this was my favorite episode of ALL. Wow.

It actually made me want Matt and Harriet back together as a couple. I absolutely loved how she stood up for Matt in front of Luke and how she judged him for screwing Matt over back then. It was like she realized that while Matt has his faults, he'd never hurt her on purpose and he'd defend her whenever necessary. And judging by the way she started to cry it was obvious that Harriet isn't able to close the Matt chapter in her life just yet. That was sweet. When Matt said, "I never realized how much I needed her around", I really got teary eyed. And the last scene was sweet, too. And I don't really like that Mary person or whatever her name was.

Jordan and Danny were super cute. The whole guillotine thing was hilarious. When the eyes popped out of the baby I just burst out laughing.

Oh, and hopefully Luke is history now. What a jackass.

I just hope we get the show back so we can have closure to the love stories.

I agree with you guys, I loved this episode.

Matt and Harriet at the end, was just great. I was so happy when she showed up at the end to help him. It almost made me forgive them for everything that happened during the dinner.

Could Luke be anymore insensitive? I mean, I understand how it would be difficult for someone to be involved with Matt or Harriet when they obviously can't get over each other, but he was still a jerk. I'm glad Harriet stood up to him and defended Matt.

So Simon can't tell the difference between a tall redhead and a short blonde.

All I'm going to say is at least he wasn't bothering Darius.

Two weeks without Jack? That's too bad, because he's been growing on me.

As soon as Cal rolled the guillotine in, I knew the baby was going to suffer a tragic accident.

I'm glad he didn't disappoint.

This is probably redundant, because I think I say it a lot, but I

Danny and Jordan. The stuff with the fake baby was funny and cute, especially because the entire point was for Danny to reassure Jordan that she's going to be a good mother. I don't think they could be anymore adorable. *squee*

Honestly, I cannot get behind the Matt/Harriet love. Every time Harriet comes on my TV I want to throw rocks and break my screen. Danny and Jordan, on the other hand, rock my socks.

I was really pleased with the episode. It had a tremendous amount of flow. I don’t like, don’t get me wrong I think he’s an unmitigated jerk but having heard that after the H/M fight that she went over to Luke’s almost surely undermines anything that might have happened between them so he was probably royally pissed. It doesn’t excuse his insensitivity but it does validate some feelings he might have towards Matt. I really loved the run of Harriet’s character tonight. I felt like she really woke up, got the stars out of her eyes. The moment in the end was so perfect between them, like a little bit of poetry, it was so lovely.

Danny and Jordan...awww…they are just adorable. The first throws of love are so fun to watch onscreen but you get the sense with them that they are really in it for the long run, which is something I wasn’t 100% sure of before tonight. Priceless with Cal’s prop guillotine.

And the eye-popping baby, I so loved Jordan’s face.

I really liked Kari Matchett’s character. I wouldn’t mind seeing her back. She’s a smart, savvy lady and having her character about really kept all the regulars grounded and founded in a single purpose. As opposed to the many characters that S60 brings in and out to me she’d be a welcome guest star.

Eegads, Simon. He just getting more and jerky. Every little thing her does just irritates me to no end.

I hate to say it, and I have hope that this will not be the case but heaven forbid that S60 doesn’t come back I feel a settled quality to this episode. M/H have realizes how desperately the need each other, Danny has got some stability, Jordan has personal support thought Danny and professional support through Jack and the show within the show is doing well. Hopefully we’ll all get our 4am miracle and get a pick up date.

I loved this ep . I agree with all of you on the major points.

Yes, Luke is an ass to say the least , BUT it's obvious that Harry can't walk away from Matt either. I was so so pleased that she defended him to Luke , and rightfully so. At the end, that moment was really great. You could just see Matt's relief.

I also loved Matt in the entire ep. I love you Matthew Perry. He looks great. It was nice to see Matt dealing with things on a not-so-dark note as we saw last week.
I actually didnt mind the Mary Tate character and she is much better than Hallie any day. How funny was Matt to Lucy , "fine, fine British ass." and did I hear him say "nutsopolis" to Mary Tate ?? LOL

Danny and Jordan were so funny-- The eye popping baby was hilarious....her face, and him jumping off the couch... LOL!
Besides that , they seemed to really connect. Danny really put her at ease and you could see in her face that she was just in awe that he is really doing this. I loved that he was worried about her , Bradley, I love you too. wow. My favorite part was their scene on the couch in the office, they just looked so happy and comfortable with each other.. .yay ! and I guess since Danny told the guys about the real care baby and that Jordan was asleep in his office, that it means their "secret" is out ???

GREAT to see Matt and Danny scenes. I missed that so much. Just as I thought, Danny sees what is happening with Matt and knows he has to help him, hence his call to Harriet . I loved that he told Jordan he had to stay with Matt. loved it.

We need more Suzanne !!!!!!! I really like this character and the scenes with Matt were great.

I still miss the preparation for the show... I love the couples , but I miss this too. If it doesnt return this may be the reason. JMO. Then again, this show has been trashed since day one, so who knows what will happen.

The show has taken a big turn and now there are so many questions left to ponder. I am keeping hope that we at least see the remaining eps this season at the very least .

I love this show.

I loved how Danny reacted when he heard the doll crying from her bag.

*Nora* · 02-20-2007, 06:56 AM

I loved Jordan's line: "Can I go downstairs and play with Harriet?"

Quote:

Harriet: I can't let you talk about Matthew like that.
Luke: I'm sorry?
Harriet: I can't let you talk about Matthew like that.
Luke: And why not?
Harriet: Cause he'd never let anyone talk about me like that!
Luke: You're a sucker, Harriet.
Harriet: Maybe, but he'd never go 3 hours into overtime just to screw with some guy who used to be his friend.

Hear hear!

sanna_o75 · 02-20-2007, 06:59 AM

I don't like that much, but I cheered for her in this episode. You go girl!

radagast · 02-20-2007, 11:18 AM

Did you guys notice how Harry says "Mathew" in special occasions?

Hee, I loved it too. Cute.

If this is the last ep we're gonna see, then I'm pretty happy with the closure we got with Matt/Harriet.

I LOVED that Harriet realized how horrible she'd been to Matt and I must admit that she kinda deserved what she got. Luke was an ass, for sure, but she obviously used him to hurt Matt. I really liked what she said about Matt never talking about her like that. So true. That whole speech was awesome. Loved their final scene. Very sweet.

Cal cracked me up with guillotine and the real care baby being beheaded

The only thing I hated was the lack of Jack and J/J
