Kristen's energy in this was like her work in her first few seasons in the cast. She fit in so well with this cast - such good performances, especially from JAJ. I like how Chloe Troast just appears out of nowhere too. And I like that we never hear just what the bad news is. The ending I might change a little bit but I'm still glad this got on the air.

Why is no one asking about "Big C"?!

Things the bad thing could be: 1. Parents are getting a divorce 2. One or both are adopted 3. Mother has cancer and has only one day left to live and Sheila is going to be their new mother. 4. Father or “Big C” used to be in a gang and Sheila is coming to take the kids away as payment for him abandoning her gang. 5. The kids are going to have to choose which parent they want to live more than the other 6. Sheila is their real mother. And their father had been cheating. Which one do you think it is? Or does anyone have other ideas on what the bad news could be?
