Wow, that all sounds incredibly depressing. And the scotty part has me very confused. This will be a very interesting episode!

Man, I'm such a dork. Whenever Calista and Sally are on together and they start acting emotional, I start tearing up. Gosh, those two are just so darn talented. No words. That scene in the bathroom...Just love. They work so well with each other. And the words that Nora felt for her, you can as well, without having to be a mother. Add Rachel's Sarah into that mix, and really all you can do is weep. The scenes with the three of them are the highlight of the episode this week. The final scene with Kitty bald was both heartbreaking and heart warming.

Loved the song they used at the end. Gotta love the Fray. So perfect, I though.

I didn't really like Scotty/Kevin/Robert's SL this week. Maybe because it was so dramatic what with Scotty's dad coming in and saying that he separated from his mom. And then finding out that he cheated on the mom. I don't know...maybe it's because I already found the episode so heavy...I was expecting something light hearted and funny.

I wasn't really following Kevin/Robert's SL this ep...so I can't really comment.

So I guess Rebecca's pregnant. That was the first thing that popped into my head when she complained of being tired. LOL. Because really on most shows, that means pregnancy, really. I have to say that I didn't really mind them this episode. They were okay. Can't wait to see how Justin deals with this when he finds out.

All in all great ep. Although not as good as last week's.

I'm so sad for Kitty, she's going through so much right now and loosing her hair was the most depressing things i've seen yet with her cancer story. I loved the ending and Kitty shaving her head and then coming out bald. She did look adorable bald.

I didn't understand the whole Robert getting all mad at that politician. What happened that led up to that outburst?.

I really thought Rebecca was pregnant too but I just missed why Justin thought she was pregnant. Being tired is definitly a sign that you're preggers. Now that was (know?) this could be a good storyline.

Kitty! her storyline has got me in such an emotional state on a weekly basis!

I loved Scotty this week

I'm glad because I have always loved him but it feels like all I do these days is complain about him, it helps that he and Kevin weren't arguing and it was just a personal issue with his dad.

I don't think Robert's political storyline really fit in the tone of the episode, but I did still like it, he is basically saying everything I am thinking and the SL is especially relavent to real life politics!

Can't think of anything else at the moment ...

Pretty good episode all around.

I've got to say though, I really don't like the Rebecca pregnancy storyline at all. It severely limits what they can do with Justin and Rebecca from now on. It'll just be baby this and baby that from here on out. And I was really looking forward to them doing some other stuff with them individually and as a couple before they had a baby. So much for that.

I would also imagine Justin is going to have to drop out of med school, which I don't want. But there's just no way he's gonna be able to go to medical school for eight years if he has a family to support. I assume Rebecca supports them both right now and she can't keep working as much if she has a baby.

So, I don't really like the ramifications of the storyline at all. The initial drama might be interesting, but I don't like what it will likely lead to. I would have rather they waited to do this. I feel they only did it now for November sweeps.

And to be honest, I'm just tired of the baby storylines on this show. There's one every season it seems. And we already have the Kevin/Scotty one going on right now. It's baby overload. Couldn't they have thought of something else? Something not so unoriginal and predictable?

Kitty- I feel so sorry for her she is having such a hard time,but she was really brave to shave her head. I wanted to give her a big hug

Sally is always amazing I can't say enough good things about her

**ice_ice_baby** · 11-09-2009, 04:46 PM

Great episode

Nora on a motorcycle with a younger guy was great

That really is something I never thought we'd see.

It'll be interesting if Rebecca really is pregnant. Maybe Justin/Rebecca's and Kevin/Scotty's babies will be born the same day

The Scotty/father storyline was interesting. But I didn't really understand Robert's storyline

The Kitty stuff was really great. I thought the main reason she didn't want to continue the chemo was 'cause she didn't want to lose her hair. Well, at least she decided to shave it so that she won't have to continue the trauma of it falling out

And she really does look good bald

Can't wait for next week's episode

I loved the episode!
Man Kitty's storyline is slaying me

All the Kitty/Sarah/Nora scenes are so great!
Bicker boy

Justin worries about Rebecca,and she's actually pregnant!

I wonder how they're gonna handle it now

Scotty :hug;
I like seeing him & his father,the ending <3
When Kitty cuts her hairs

SaraSidleStokes · 11-09-2009, 06:45 PM

I loved this episode,the Kitty stuff made me so sad I wanted to cry
the Justin/Rebecca baby stuff was GREAT
I just am tired of Kevin and Scotty but *shrugs* that could be becasuse I don't like them

**Fortyseven** · 11-09-2009, 06:45 PM

I liked the episode a lot!

Still a bit too depressing, but the acting was superb. I loved the last scene with Kitty shaving her head.

I hope that doesn't happen.

The med school storyline is the only storyline of Justin's that I have liked since probably S1.

**Katiegg108** · 11-10-2009, 02:56 PM

Such a sad episode. Calista was amazing! She made me tear up quite a few times. That last scene when she shaved her head was beautiful.

I liked seeing a scotty SL that really was about scotty. It was nice to see his solo interactions with his dad.

And yay for Nora and the doctor! Even if it doesn't last long, should be a good distraction for her.

Oh no! I didn't even think about that. That CANNOT happen. I've been loving this story with Justin! And Rebecca working at Ojai.

And I'd be scared this would put a damper on the K/S baby story.

Yeah, it's nice that Scotty had a storyline that didn't really involve Kevin
