I think you may be in the minority. New generations seem to outgrow their parents, son-father and daughter-mother.

Matt Lauria must be so relieved to be done with this awful gig as Ryan. He is a great actor—capable of so much more. His character in FNL also left the show by getting on a bus in fatigues—destination: Afghanistan. Good luck with your next role, Matt. Try to stay out of uniform.

Effects of chemo? She's all done with that.

Who's angry with Drew?

I totally thought this was going to happen and Kristina's photo would be on the front page of the paper—egg in hand—with a drug-a-lyzer count.

The cake fight was fun, too. Adam and Kristina laughing—more of that!!

Haddie who?

If some guy went all postal and smashed me up, I'd press charges. I would have liked to see it written this way. To see Ryan free after that just seemed unreal.

Yeah, but in this season Joel's allowed his new work to take him away from family in the extreme, and has not acknowledged the impacts or appreciated Julia for taking up the slack at home. His answer to everything is a simplistic "I did it, why can't you? Why can't you support ME now?" This would fly if he were…

She didn't quit her job on an impulse. She quit before the firm fired her for making a grave error while she was distracted by the difficulty of integrating her newly adopted son.

They just had to go there, didn't they? I was yelling fuck no at my TV when Ed and Julia kissed. Doggonit.

Jail would've made sense. Afghanistan I don't understand and please don't try to explain it to me.

Loved the music on this episode. Sorry for Juliette's trouble, but the fan ugliness allowed us to hear Avery sing! He's one of my favorite musicians on the show, quiet for too long!

I like your idea, @Daniella Eyla. I'm hoping Rayna uses her pull and star status to help the others make it on artistic merit while being true to their creations. And I hope she is outrageously successful in her new enterprise as artist/producer/mentor.

Could this be some kind of revenge hit by Rayna's daddy? Teddy turned his back on Lamar. Maybe Lamar thinks Teddy offered evidence to help put him behind bars.

I liked that first girlfriend of Deacon's—the vet who took care of his golden retriever pup while he was on the road. Hey, whatever happened to Deacon's dog?

I think we just saw Luke's little snaky tail disappear behind a record label.

Yeah, Will's having a hard time. He has to dump Layla—she's bad poison—and I hope he finds himself soon. The fights he gets into trying to prove one thing or another—he may as well come out and stand up proud and be who he really is. Then, if he has to fight, he'll be fighting for something that makes sense.

Lol. I vote they ambi Peggy to the hospital and she dies shortly after admitting to Teddy that she lied about everything. Or—I just vote she dies.

The way he said hosiery: HO-zyer-ee.
