Let me just say… I wasn’t crazy about this episode. Even with the Ephram/Amy stuff.
*sigh* Dr. Brown. I love you and I know your heart is in the right place but… YOU NEED TO TELL EPHRAM, DO YOU HEAR ME? Do it. Don’t listen to Dr. Abbott.
Speaking of Dr. Abbott, is it just me or did his talk with Dr. Brown seem a bit out of character? He persuades Dr. Brown not to tell Ephram because Ephram and Amy are in love?! I know Dr. Abbott tends to indulge Amy but this just struck me as odd. I mean, Ephram fathered a child and Dr. Abbott’s okay with Amy dating him?
Madison, Madison, Madison. She’s not even on the show anymore and yet she still manages to hover over the storylines. I really need to get over it, don’t I? This storyline won’t be resolved anytime soon so I guess I should just stop my whining.
As for Ephram and Amy, I have to agree with Melissa — I hope tonight was the last time we’ll see the “obstacles for the star-crossed soulmates” storyline. I’ve never understood why writers seem to think that breaking couples up is more compelling than showing the couple together, which is what I would love for Ephram and Amy. I want to see them in a relationship and facing obstacles together. *crosses fingers*
Although I sense an obstacle in the newest cast addition of Hannah (not a spoiler, just speculation)… I wonder what her deal is. I kinda wish they wouldn’t add so many new characters when some of the existing and beloved characters barely have any screentime as it is (Bright, Edna, Laynie).
Loved Bright’s pool party and Dr. Hartman’s wellness walk. Sign me up for both, please! 🙂
My favorite line of the episode:
Dr. Brown [to Dr. Abbott]: “How many times have I told you, I don’t like you that way!” BWAHAHA!
Other great quotes:
Amy: “Why isn’t he IMing me?” Heh. I can relate.
Amy: “I’m totally low maintenance.” Suuuure, Amy, sure.
Dr. Abbott [to Dr. Hartman]: “Doc in a Box.” Hee.
Ephram: “Amy and I broke up.”
Delia: “Already?”
You know, now that you mention it, I agree with you about Dr. Abbott. At first, I just figured he’s looking out for Amy. He knows she’s in love with Ephram, and if the whole Madison thing comes out, then that would be an obvious hurdle for Amy and Ephram. But you know that he knows it’s better for it to come out now than later on (because you know it eventually will.) Maybe his love for Amy was just clouding his judgement.
I have to agree, I thought Dr. Abbott’s advice was a little out of character. It seemed contrived to extend the storyline. It’s obvious the writers need Dr. Brown to be remorseful and want to do right thing by telling Ephram but they can’t have it happen yet. They need it lingering like a bomb that hasn’t gone off yet. As soon as we get comfortable watching the a/e together they detonate. But isn’t that always the way?
I agree with you about the Amy/Ephram stuff. These little things need to stop breaking them up. And I hope that if Hannah starts to be on the show a lot, that she won’t keep Ephram from Amy. And I still don’t understand why Dr. Abbott showed up on Dr. Brown’s doorstep in his pajamas. What was that about? And my favorite quote…
Amy: "Shh! He signed on. See? Right there." haha. 😀 I thought the look on Dr. Abbott’s face was hysterical.
