Already sounds like a great one.

I'm excited; I always liked the Girls United plot...and the mini-episodes were great!

Thanks for the thread.

I liked this episode and it didn't creep me out like last week's. I don't like Haley at all and of course, Brandon's forced relationship. Poor Cole-He deserves happiness.

Kassiek · 08-04-2014, 09:07 PM

Huh. I was let down. Maybe I got too excited because I thought it was going to be really good and then seemed like a filler to me.

But...surprise, surprise, I'm actually liking Jesus' storyline! Maybe because I've seen this happen to one of my guy friends over and over again (four different girlfriends spanning 13 years). And I'm glad that Stef brought our attention to it. Being stuck with someone that manipulative (and you yourself can't ever see it) only causes a whole lot of problems for the relationship...and lasting problems after the relationship ends.

In my opinion, all the other characters pretty much had non-storylines. Here's to hoping next week will be better!

Last week's episode was good in some ways,but between Dani's creepiness and how Sophia acted about Callie,I was weirded out.

Wes&FredFan · 08-04-2014, 10:05 PM

I was glad that nobody died in the episode - I was afraid that Rita was going to die in the basement. Loved how Rita still yelled at Callie for risking her life ... just as Callie pointed out that she did the same thing. Ooops

.

Felt bad for Cole - he just wanted to be accepted for who he is. I was glad that Rita found him a place at the LGBT center. I like the GU storyline - it's great for Callie to have a group of girls who understand her past and get how tough it is to come back from that.

I liked the episode. It was good to see the Girls United again, but it was sad how it ended.

Daisykd · 08-05-2014, 10:47 AM

I should've known it wasn't going to be an alltogether happy episode

Cole just needs to find his place and I think he will. Sad Kiara has to go back to juvie until they can find a place for her. I almost wish Stef and Lena could take Kiara and Cole even if they just helped them find families who wanted them.

I really hope Jesus' grades don't start suffering because of Hayley. It seems like he'd blow off homework just to be with her. I don't like that at all. Just like Callie told Cole he deserves to go to that group home, if Hayley really loved Jesus, she'd want him to do well in school.

She's giving off a creepy stalker vibe,tbh. She wants him all to herself,she needs him to make her feel safe,she needs him to drop everything he's doing,etc...

It's not about him at all,it's about HER and that freaks me out. Emma was bossy,but she still gave a crap. She pushed him and she was there when he needed her.

Daisykd · 08-06-2014, 05:50 PM

I wonder if she's just the way she is around all boys or if she has some devious plan that she needs Jesus for.

Against_all_odds · 08-06-2014, 06:52 PM

I think it's all boys-She was so emotional when she got dumped.

Kassiek · 08-06-2014, 10:10 PM

So...I just remembered something (or I think I remember it)... Weren't Lena and Stef only granted a 30 day extension to get their foster paperwork in order or Callie would have to go because their license expired? Hasn't it been about 30 days yet? We haven't heard about them doing the paperwork have we? And with Lena being in the hospital and everything else that happened (vacations, trips, et al), could they have forgotten? I mean it has to be complicated with home visits and such. Does Callie default back to the Quinns now or foster care if they don't finish the paperwork and get it in?

Am I crazy and making all this up?

Daisykd · 08-07-2014, 07:15 AM

They could have just done all that and we didn't see. They promised her that wouldn't happen again so I think Stef and Lena would have taken care of it...
