[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Alrighty, we are back.

I had my doubts about this episode. I was like, do I really need to see another Beth origin story (which is mean because Beth is arguably the best character on this series) but I did and so do you. Very satisfying.

The mystery of Kevin's future intensifies. I find Elijah to be an annoying dork, but dude brought it at the end.

I think Madison is a jerk for not joining Pearson Thanksgiving. Sorry, I do.

I teared up at Miguel and Rebecca's best friends declaration.

A little unsatisfying, but I hope it's just the beginning.

Agree.  Imagine every teacher or coach had kids calling them with all of their past grievances….

I like Elijah for Madison, very much. I do agree she should have sucked it up for the Pearson Thanksgiving though, given Rebecca's situation and the fact that it is very premature to insist on celebrating it with Elijah.

As much as I like the character, I had mixed feelings about Beth's storyline. 95% of people who aim for careers in the performing arts don't succeed, just the way that it is. Disappointing, yes, but I don't feel the teacher was some kind of a monster. You'd think as an adult she'd be much more understanding of the fact that she didn't have "it" and so objectively lost out to a better dancer for one show. ONE SHOW. She didn't have to give up based on one disappointment, she chose to and it was very immature.

OK but you’re thinking about it from an adult perspective, she was a teen who just lost her dad. World blown up from multiple perspectives. She needed someone and her mother was emotionally cold. Her teacher and she strivrd to be perfect for dismissed her with barely a conversation.  From a teen perspective, even little things  can be “earth shattering”…  the combination of everything going on for her – it would’ve been a minor miracle had she persevered with no support from any of the adults in her life.

I completely get all of that, but my issue is her feeling the need to make that phone call as an adult.[/quote]

That's the kind of confrontation you have if you've been abused (emotionally, etc.).  The teacher seemed like a perfectly decent person who was probably just a little cold when she could have used more support.  Ridiculous story line.[/quote][/quote]
