Thank you. I thought that would be a good title.

Oh it is.

Only Nell could get away with talking to the chief like that.

**Melis** · 02-22-2018, 07:20 PM

For sure

If it were one of the girls he would slap them. I already mentioned Julie, but I know he slapped Katie too for some reason.

I don't know. Maybe he was scared of Nell.

Or he just didn't want to listen to her go off.

That's true too

In that same episode she actually flipped her over onto the couch!

Woza! Don't tick her off

The show just really lost something in it's final season. Nell sold the house and moved to New York to be closer to Sam who went to college there. I think Grandpa was there too and Addy. Joey as well. Sam made a few appearances but we never saw Julie or Katie again.
