Agree with everything here, Phillip, except I really like Julianna a lot. She is, and has been, the center of this story and I think Alexa Davalos does a great job dealing with a character being pulled in a million different directions.

No way a B- to me. Definitely an A. I found it the best and most compelling episode of the second season. Putting aside that Joe is, to me, the weakest character, I found the pacing taut, the acting very good, and the unexpectedness of events throughout the episode very good storytelling.

Excellent wrap-up. I’m one who thinks that while this season was
nowhere near as good as season one, a lot of viewer expectations were piled on
this season, which was very different in perspective and storytelling. I found, upon rewatching the first half of
the season before last night’s finale, that I enjoyed it more…

Seriously. Did you see the kiss he planted on her in the bedroom when he was getting ready to go out? Hardly a friendly peck on the cheek.
