Election Day Awesome episode. It was both funny and rich with serious drama that is finally baring fruit. We get a couple of huge, explosive fights that come to a head. First off,
Ryan finally explodes in a fit of rage. If you have been watching this season, it was a no-brainer that this was coming. I actually thought it would come sooner. Anyway, I knew that the drummer from the band was going to be on the receiving end given the fact that there is an obvious attraction toward
Amber. Factor in
Ryan's pent up rage, insecurity, being asked to return engagement ring and hiding his pill addiction.....of course it was going to end in a violent rage. I really hope that the writers do the right thing here and make it so that
Amber finally walks away. After all that went down, if they have her sticking around, it's just going to leave a sour taste in my mouth. But I know that isn't always the easiest thing to do....to walk away.
As for
Julia and
Joel, it's not as cut and dry where one side is a fault and the other side is the victim. I actually agree with both of them as to what they are dealing with. I get that
Julia is feeling left out and frustrated that
Joel isn't really addressing their problems and he has chosen to be distant about it. On the flip-side, I totally agree with
Joel in that he has been marginalized by her regarding work. He was there for her as the stay at home dad while she was the bread winner, but it hasn't been reciprocated on her part. There is absolutely no support from her as he's become the bread winner. Add to the fact that she barges in on him at work and then takes it out on his Boss was just totally uncalled for.
Loved the whole thing about
Crosby "voting"...Private vs Public. Hahahaha. Funny stuff. Add to the fact that he goes through the process of buying another mans vote....priceless. Too bad about
Kristina. I really thought she would win. I wanted her to win.
Mac, you really should be watching this season. It's a huge step up from last year. Really looking forward to seeing how the entire series wraps up. Props for
Max finally asking a girl out to be his steady.
Hank was great in giving him advice.
