I picked from the very beginning that the strange blonde was Connor's (Jonathan Patrick Moore) sister... but is she really? And who didn't see Jennifer (Krista Allen) and Eric (Alan Van Sprang) getting back together? I'm just glad Connor took the initial discover fine, but then the poor guy had to leave didn't he? I thought he would slip back into the depressed state he was in last season with no one there to look after him or keep him company. But he didn't! Hurrah! Now he has this woman who claims to be his sister and I think if she turns out not to be, he won't mind because he will still have someone.

Looks like the King (Andra Fuller) has found someone new... but this guy (Jarod Joseph) is not standing for the crap he pulled on Tariq (Benjamin Charles Watson). I'm glad that he's a strong male, Kal needs someone to tell him how it is straight and not back down. This guy is lawyer, he won't be easily intimidated. I love how assertive and out in the open this guy is, hope he sticks around for a while.

Sabrina (Georgina Reilly) and Nick (Joe Dinicol) working on acts together is so cute! Is it just me or is Nick actually getting funnier? The bit he did in this episode had me actually laughing out loud and the initial take over from Sabrina - the swoop and kiss - was a great move. He's showing her up though, I wonder if she can handle it... Nick's excursion out into the world of internet advertising / dating was absolutely hilarious!

Raquel (Jewel Staite) took another turn this episode. I was really hating on her this season but this episode has been her saving grace I think. It's possible that she thought that Zach (Rhys Ward) was only there for the same reasons as she is, to make money, but now she realises he actually has a very real problem and I applauded her when she walked out of production. She's still going to get her ass sued... again... but it was the right thing to do. The producer looked a bit worried for a second there too, didn't she?

Abby's (Cassie Steele) new friend is niiiiiice! *winks* He looked really familiar and I couldn't figure out why until I looked him up. His name is Steve Byers and he's in Alphas and Immortals and a bunch of other things. He will totally be back next season... or maybe later in this season if we're lucky!

We finally found out what happened to Simon (Michael Levinson) and Beth's (Dayle McLeod) parents! What is Beth going to do now that Dad has finally called back? I wouldn't want to call him back right away either, I'd be pissed that it took him so long and unsure as to whether he wanted me back... She lied to Simon after she said she wouldn't too...

What a nice closing scene too, love it! Actually thought this was the end of the season but yay, there's more! I'm still loving this show, every episode has me thinking about the next week and there is always something happening. No boring bits!

There is something about this show that I just love... I'm not quite sure what it is yet. Maybe it's that even if a season is only six or seven episodes long, so much happens in each one. I was thinking about some of my previous posts for this show and how much I loved certain characters together at the beginning of the season, such as Abby (Cassie Steele) and Nick (Joe Dinicol), and now I'm really happy with where their characters are now and am glad they broke up at the very start. I love how you never know what will happen...

Still don't know what the deal with Simon (Michael Levinson) and Beth (Dayle McLeod) is, is this going to be another season finale reveal or are they just going to leave us hanging? Where the hell are their parents?!

Now I know I've been really harsh towards Sabrina (Georgina Reilly) in the last few posts, but that's because she's been a bitch the whole time. This episode her antics amused me instead of pissing me off... How do they do that? In the space of one ep, I go from hating a character to begrudgingly liking her. Nick is upping the game now though isn't he, might get interesting from now on.

For a bit there I thought Kal (Andra Fuller) could change sides and end up liking Dawna (Tattiawna Jones), the chick that his dad introduced him to, she is rather lovely! Then seeing him eyeing off the guy at the diner.... *sigh* I think he should just tell her that he's gay, she's a social worker she could probably help him through it. I still miss Tariq and am hoping he might magically reappear in the finale, but am not holding my breath.

I just knew that Abby's threesome was going to turn out this was. The girl likes her, she likes the boy, the boy likes the girl. Ha! That's what you get when you jump into a relationship with two people already together... how is something like that ever going to work? I just knew that Brandon (Brett Dier) would pick Laura (Megan Hutchings) over Abby, and I have a feeling that Laura is going to pick Abby. Won't that make things interesting?

Poor Raquel (Jewel Staite), she really didn't have a choice in the matter of Celebrity Halfway House. She really is a bitch though...

I just knew that this thing Connor (Jonathan Patrick Moore) had going with Jennifer (Krista Allen) was too good to be true, even after this episode I still think that. Eric (Alan Van Sprang), Jennifer's husband is right, Connor enjoys to be babied and Jennifer enjoys looking after him. I'm not saying it wont be good for him, hell, maybe she'll fix him, but they are not going to stay together. Jennifer will get back with Eric and Connor will be broken hearted. I do like that Eric and Connor ended up friends by the end of this ep but who didn't see that coming?

So I'm pretty sure I say this every time I write about this show; I freakin' LOVE this show! I don't know what it is exactly that makes me love it so much, but I do.

Jewel Staite is always so amazing, I love her! Her sulky face and drunken phone calls at the end of this episode is classic. So, I'm a bit confused, did Raquel actually lose the baby in the last episode? It just sort of glossed over it... so confused! She might have now after that car crash and if she hasn't Connor (Jonathan Patrick Moore) is going to find out she's pregnant in the hospital, then what's going to happen?

Speaking of Connor, he is totally going to get busted for setting his house on fire. Maybe then he'll go running back to Raquel... a girl can hope, can't she? I love the two of them together, I got a bit choked up myself during their fight and then kissing Jennifer Bell (Krista Allen) at the premier? Noooooo Conor! It makes me think of last season when he was so depressed and lonely and no one would help him, and now he's not and Raquel is? You'd think he'd be a bit more sensitive to the situation seeing as he went through something similar himself...

Poor Kaldrick King's (Andra Fuller) dad is trying so hard to get through to him. When the kid at the shelter was reciting Kaldrick's rhymes the King didn't look too happy to hear his own words. Wonder if he's regretting his choice of using derogatory terms like 'faggot'. Irony is a bitch. I wonder how long Kal has known he's gay, whether he felt like that for a while and just kept denying it. Was Tariq (Benjamin Charles Watson) his first guy? Answer these questions, damn you! And bring Tariq back!

Simon's sister Beth (Dale McLeod); I love how harsh she is and her shut down of that Mother, Paula, was fantastic, I wanted to applaud. What a bitch! But poor Simon (Michael Levinson) keeps getting the short end of the stick. I'm glad that him and his friend worked it out between them, showing the adults how to do things! I still really want to know where their parents are...

Those naughty, naughty Christian show kids! When Laura (Megan Hutchings) walked in on Abby (Cassie Steele) and Brandon (Brett Dier) I thought that was it! but then she didn't really seem to care about it... That was when I knew that they wanted to do the nasty with Abby, so predictable. Dirty pretend Christians, haha.

Well, this ep wasn't quite as exciting as the last few have been but if it runs the same amount of eps as last season, that means we're almost done... and last season's cliffy was bloody fantastic!
