I thoroughly enjoyed having another voice to read in Haley, but I must admit I was slow to get into her head. Course, I can't figure out if that was me b/c I was still half asleep this morning, or if it was real. Now I just want to go back and try to catch some glimpses of what I now know of Haley from Reagan's observations in the previous 3 episodes. I was used to the more smart-ass Hayley, and then she opened up into this whole mish-mash of strange qualities. I actually really enjoyed the unique layers that Ms. Higginson added to Haley. I really hadn't given her character that much thought I guess, but she has SO MUCH going on beneath her surface! Now I just want more...more background, more of her. She may have started out slowly this ep, but wow did I love all the new things we learned about her by the end!And OMG, major wish-fulfillment on the hot sweet romance department!! Nelson and Haley are really quite adorable together, and boy can they generate some steam.On the action front, it was actually a more slow and introspective episode...not that things didn't go on, but it was nice to have a bit of a breather after the edge of your seat 3rd episode. Course, that doesn't mean they were free from struggles...just challenges of a different kind. And quite cruelly, Ms. Higginson decided we needed a cliffhanger ending...thank the baby jesus that we only have to wait 2 weeks for the next one, b/c otherwise I would be pouting big time.On a side note -- OMG I loved Harrison this episode!! Like seriously, that kid was HILARIOUS. Makes me want to see a bit more of him to come....he's young, but he's just right there at the edge of adulthood, you know??
