these are the episodes im excited to see. Havent had a good badass episode in a long time, and it looks like KC is going to be going back to the old KC. I wonder what kinds of trouble he will get into? Hes already stolen cars, how is he gonna top that one?

I'm surprised there's no mention of KC in the promo for tomorrow's episode. Oh well, maybe that's better off since I feel like they are spoiling too much.

Can't wait to see a Eclare, finally!

I figure the promo for the next episode will focus on KC so that's why this one is about the subplots.

Oh-Canada

Well this was definitely my favourite ep of season 10 so far! I loved it!!!!

First of all I love love love Jenna and I don't care who knows it! heh
Seriously tho Jenna was awesome in this episode. I'm so glad that the Jenna/KC storyline has little to do with cheating or Jenna being a bitch or anything like that. KC's past is starting to catch up with him again. Jenna is trying to be supportive but KC never lets anyone in. I love how uncomfortable Jenna was with how KC was acting towards his Mom. You can see it from both sides. It's just a really good storyline.

The Clare storyline was also equally as awesome. Seeing her parents made me miss Darcy though - it's almost like she never existed. Anyway, this Clare/Eli storyline is going to be great. But idk.. I'm not as into Eli as most people. I just don't find him to be a realistic character yet. It's almost like he's a teenage girl's dream as opposed to a real person. I think that will change as the episodes go on though. So far we've mostly only seen Eli from Clare's POV. We still don't know much about him yet.

The Alli/Drew storyline was kind of meh in comparison to the other 2 but at least it had Dave! Always good

Oh-Canada, I'm pretty sure I agree with everything you said. As usual.

This episode was awesome in giving is new insight into both KC's and Clare's home lives in A- and B-plots. Also, Jenna was great in this. She really wanted to be supportive and strong for KC, and showed that she can be completely selfless. She spoke up when she knew what KC was in the wrong, and I felt so awful for her when KC said "but your mom left." Wow.

I wasn't very impressed with Eli when he was first introduced and I'm still not enamored with him. Something about him... throws me off. That said, I think that he and Clare have great chemistry -- I expected them to feel very forced, but it wasn't like that at all. I especially enjoyed the homage to that scene in season 3 with Craig and Marco screaming in the woods. Except Clare was far more adorable with her scream than Craig ever was!

But I thought the glimpse into Clare's home life was really interesting... and not expected. It always seemed that they were the perfect Christian family, and now we see the parents' marriage falling apart. It made me think about how things must be so lonely for Clare at home, with her parents fighting and Darcy gone... she's all alone. (Also, I hope they at least allude to Darcy again...)

I didn't care for Alli's storyline; I hate Drew and I felt really bad for Dave. It reminded me of the Manny/Sully/JT triangle in season 3. Except unfortunately Drew is a main character so he won't mysteriously vanish anytime soon like Sully did. Sorry to the Drew fans... I despise him.

And this is way too long already but I also have to add that the ending with Bianca = perfection! Oh, god, I love her so much already.

I'm not much of a Jenna fan, but I must say I agreed with her in this episode. I liked her in it a lot actually.

I agree with that. Eli was one of the characters I was most looking forward to and I was especially looking forward to seeing him with Clare, but he seemed kinda off to me too. That being said I still like the character and I hope he lives up to my expectations.

Oh I felt so bad for Dave.. He's becoming one of my favorite characters. But I kinda think he deserves better that Alli anyway. He should move on

I looooved the ending with Bianca! Quite perfect

Nekoshoujo

I'm probably going to be one of the few people to say they didn't like Jenna in this episode. But every single ounce of my KC love has been regained.

First off Jenna, I know that it seems like she was just trying to look out for him, and I'm sure she had good intentions but you just can't apply an outsiders view to these types of situations. It really would have been better for her to stay out of it. It's not really that she personally bothered me I just think she should have stayed out of it.

With KC, wow did I relate to this storyline. I got really emotional throughout the whole thing and I was just heartbroken watching him. The end scene with Bianca was perfect. I really felt something there with them, I hope they hookup at some point this season.

I LOVED Eclare! They're so cute! My favorite scene with them was definitely when they decided to skip class. I think Aislinn and Munro have great chemistry and I can't wait to see more.

I actually kinda like Alli/Drew but I couldn't bring myself to care much about this storyline.

Along with part two by far my favorite episodes of the season so far!

kellibelli11791

Im not much of a Jenna fan but i do like how she is trying to help KC's mom. every mom deserves a second chance but i would love to know exactly what she did. yes i know they did relive some of what happen but still.

i hope tomorrow does see how exactly drew is and doesnt let him take advantage of her by the end of the ep.

MegaJ

I think you hit the nail on the head on why I find Eli off-putting. So far, he's a total Relationship Sue for Claire. I have a feeling as we get into the Bully storyline he'll probably be fleshed out more.

And yes, I actually like Jenna this episode.

Nekoshoujo

Oh right I have to ask was I the only person who thought KC's mom was the most adorable person ever? I don't know her actress but now I'm interested in seeing what else she's done. Every time she talked or smiled my heart just melted. It's no wonder KC's cute being related to someone like her.

wolfpackfan2010

KC should go for bianca and leave Jenna. Jenna is fine, but Bianca is smokin and she seems like more of KC's type. It was wrong to steal the bottle of vodka from his mom, but dang KC, son, just go have some drinks with bianca.

Felt bad for Dave, alli seemed like she was into dave, If I were Dave I would feel that way, I wouldent mind Dave playing a prank on Drew like he did with Bruce.

This episode made me dislike Jenna. I was never fan of hers but I didn't find her as annoying as everyone else did. First of all, when your boyfriend is having tough time at the moment, you should support him. She wanted to help, sure. But for KC it looked like she was on his mother's side. He was all alone in his fight and she was supposed to be there giving him some comfort. His mother hurt him a lot and people should understand and respect it if wasn't ready to forgive her. Instead, everyone pushed him to live with her. I liked his mother. She really did everything she could to change, she succeded but sometimes its not enough. Her body will always crave drugs and that's the main reason why I don't trust her with KC. They should try to fix their relationship, but living tohether isn't the best of ideas.

Benji

Yeah, I agree. I thought Eli was alright and everything, but I didn't find him as interesting as I thought he'd be. But I'm still looking forward to his interactions with Adam and Fitz.
