4x23 "Lights Out" Episode Discussion



The Walkers prepare to close Ojai Foods for good. Sarah, Tommy, and Kevin try
to help Ojai employees find jobs elsewhere. Paige makes a documentary of the
closing for a school project. Meanwhile, Kitty practices her joke-telling in preparation
to appear at the annual Gold Rush Dinner. Robert continues learning more about
his secret job offer. Justin proposes an idea to Rebecca that would dramatically
change their future.


Written by Brian Studler & Molly Newman
Directed by Michael Morris


The end of Ojai... Sounds like a really big one!

I enjoyed this episode a lot.

I'm just a little confused about Robert...does anybody get it that can explain what's going on?

It's the end of an era
I don't like how they're pushing JR apart
What's up with Robert?
I loved the idea of Paige filming about Ojaj, it gave a sense of closure

Sounds like a great one. Hopefully I'll be able to watch it tonight sometime.

I can't believe that Ojai is closing!! OMG! I am sure that someone is going to swoop in and save it! PLEASE!!! AHHH!!!!

So, I'm wondering if Robert is going to be the one to save the company. From what I'm to understand, he is going to give a military contract to someone for 7 million dollars and then take that money and buy the company!!!

Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that he's' doing something really illegal and sketchy and I think its going to make Kitty loose the race. Damn him!

Can someone explain to me the Robert storyline. I'm totally confused and might be too dense to understand what it's in regards to.

Personally, I think it's time to close up Ojai and just, be done with it. Move on. Start something new. The show needs it, personally.

The end with Scotty singing

The promo! OMG.

I still don't understand the Robert SL either.

Scotty singing at the end was great. Does anyone know what the song was?

I was actually kind of happy to see Ojai closing. It's been one of those stories that really drags lately. And closing it was actually a fresh Ojai story I didn't feel like we already watched. It'll be nice to see Tommy, Sarah, Saul, Holly, Rebecca, and Kevin all starting new again.

Still not happy about Justin. He needs to calm down.

I watched online so didn't see the promo. Off to find it!

OMG. It was basically a car pile-up, and they threaten that one of the "brothers or sisters" will not make it. I don't know if I'd consider Robert to be a "brother or sister" so my money is on, Tommy.

Seriously? Wow. I saw a sneak peak, but I couldn't find a promo.

I'm assuming Robert still. I'd consider him a brother (in-law).

That is a good point. Unless Balthazaar is just not coming back after this season?

I really doubt they can afford to kill off one of the Walkers with Rob & Luke Grimes leaving and Calista's role being reduced.

So my money's on Robert as well. You know ABC's promos are hardly reliable, they probably consider everyone "brothers". Like when they say one of the Desperate Housewives won't make it and then it's someone like Ida Greenberg.

Anywhoo, I liked the episode. Scotty singing at the end was pretty great.

However, I did feel like the closing came a bit out of nowhere. Sure, they've been having trouble for years now but I didn't get the feeling in the past few episodes like it was a no-way-out situation, especially since they went through much worse in s1 with William's embezzlement and in s3 with Tommy's illegal activities. But yes, it's definitely time to move on.

It was such a clumsy way to rid them of the family business, I agree.

Yeah it's probably Robert. Ha! I remember that with Ida.

I think its Saul. Now that Ojai is gone he has to rethink his entire purpose. Its Saul for sure.
