I didn't like this scene. It looked as if she was being nosey, but maybe
she is just trying to help. This situation is one where it's hard to say
what will happen...no?

This was good. AJ was good in this scene.

Tracy truely is a pitiful creature. Reminded me of the old saying "to the
victor goes the spoils" or something like that.

The look on Jules face was classic.

I think it's about time. She really slapped the sh_t out of her too. I
must say that both Jules and Brenda did a good job of acting in this
scene. I was really surpised by Brenda's acting ...very good. The look on
Julia's face when Brenda left was wild. Brenda really screwed up imho.

Another good scene. I loved it when AJ told Alan "I HATE YOU!." I'll miss
that boy when he leaves.

How befitting. Her screams were weird.

Has that ploy (you know the old I have this friend with a problem thing)
ever worked? <g> It's good to see Karen open up, and not to her mother
either. Telling her mom would have ruined it. You could see what
eventually happened coming a mile away, but it was great anyway.

Karen of course hears her, and puts 2 and 2 together. I had mixed emotions
about this one. On one hand, Karen always denied her feelings for Jagger,
so what was he supposed to do, but on the other hand, he blew his chance
to get with her in this lifetime. I hope she doesn't do something stupid
like sleep with Ears, just to make him jealous. Teen tension, I just love it.

This was one of the best shows I've seen in awhile. Lots of drama and emotion.
