Episode Report Card Jacob: A+ | 150 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT We Are The Table

"We're way past that, Mom." Quinn explains that Casa Reforma was really good for her, in retrospect. She met a man she loves -- a teacher, but he just as easily could have owned a Cheese Shoppe -- and now they just live. "Humbly, simply." She swears her life has purpose. OMG she's totally been radicalized by a Mexican political science grad student! THIS SHOW SO ROCKS!

I cannot believe -- I mean literally cannot believe -- how much I've just come to love Quinn Hodes. The girl who did nothing interesting, ignored Silas on her last day in town, and then disappeared. I love how she's managed to combine the revolution of all children with actual South American danger revolution. I love how without Celia she's decided to become a woman on her own terms, and actually seems to have become even more frightening and awesome than her mother. How she's managed to become what her mother only wishes she could be.
"Revolution is a very sad affair," Rudolfo lectures, "But these tears are shed in the name of greater good." But if Quinn's become who I think she ... Oh, hell yes. That's my girl:
