a friend to talk to. Angela asks her
what they talked about, she asks if they talked about the night Jason
died. Emma asks her what night.
Final Thoughts: I liked this episode, since it didn't focus so much on the wine and more about the family. I thought that Lance came off better in this episode, even though he didn't go for help right away, it just shows that he isn't all bad even if that's all we've seen, he's got it in him to be a better person. I also liked the scenes with Emma and Vicky, I hope that they have more scenes together and that they resolve the whole thing with Jason's death. I think that it would be more interesting if more people had an idea that something was wrong with what happened.
Best Outfit: This is Emma's Little House on the Prairie outfit.
Fight Count: 0
