shallowness

I felt they needed to justify jumping those two months ahead to me, and the events directly caused by the tours breaking worked better than everything else. Unfortunately, they’re mostly the plotlines I care the least about, although I appreciated the parallels that developed between people at different life and relationship stages. I imagine it was scheduling around Panetierre’s pregnancy that led to the move.

I can believe that Juliette and Avery hadn’t worked on their communication or negotiated much for those two months, though.

I’m going to take it that Rayna’s underwhelming song on DWTS (Bruno! Also, it’s a long while since I watched that show) wasn’t written by Scarlett.

My theory was that Luke gave up that interview, although I think if he had, that would have been revealed by the end of the episode.

Zoe earned a little bit of sympathy for having been landed with an unexpected stepchild. She should just refuse to feed and wash the child because she’s job hunting and leave it to Daddy Gunnar, though.

I thought Juliette was just being Juliette, not hormonal, per se, in insisting on talking with Rayna. Still, nice to see Rayna be her friend first and foremost.

Hmm, could have done with a little more prep for Scarlett asking Terence to co-write with her, maybe a little more stress from her about the requests for songs.

Gunnar’s idea of a date night is a terrible one, especially given that he had no idea that Layla would be worth listening to. Layla having two months to work through her issues – I always said she was going to get good material – made sense. But no way is Edgehill going to release that material.

Yay! Juliette apologised to Emily. (What rubbish has she dumped on her and Glenn for two months, though?)

Juliette opening up by song and Avery getting to hear it and SEE HER was the best thing. THESE TWO.

Maddie the teenager got her way. Colt, her and Rayna seemed to be missing the point about The Inapporopriateness.

EEEE! I loved Emily being a real sister figure for Juliette and echoing Glen in reaching out to him.

Although the predictable plot was predictable, I liked how ‘Carry On’ was something its singers grew into, and Bowen’s voice is lovely. That makes the third song where the writer/singer was opening up themselves through music – making Rayna’s song even lamer.

Juliette got all lit up when Avery turned up – and his reward was to feel the kick. I will not think about how she’s going to push it. With their relationship, not the baby, I mean.
