Call Your Agents, People
Falling Forward - The second to last episode of this series ever goes out with a whimper, and a bang. Julia whines about how no one wants her to write about anything except the Ned situation. Claudia and Todd consumate their relationship, and Todd didn't even need a manual. Oh yeah, the male Salingers did some stuff too, except for Owen. |

Wild Women Do
Taboo or Not Taboo - Kirsten feels like she's missing out on something, so she takes off her clothes in front of strangers and shows off her bizarrely emaciated and yet still three months pregnant body. Will confesses his feelings about Holly to Bailey, but Bailey won't let him off the hook. I think this might cause problems in the next few weeks. Something tells me Holly wont' be a part of the season finale, and things aren't looking good for Will either. |
