User Reviews

Parker is a master of his life now, but what about his future?

In all the episodes of PLCL, Parker is a force to be reckoned with. The problem is that with all the focus Parker has being king of Santo Domingo he hasn't thought about what life will be like after high school. This is a pretty well written episode that a many High School students can relate to. As important as High School seems at the time a lot of people don't stop and really consider the future although it comes pretty fast. I like the fact that the episode isn't fakey and Parker just doesn't 'magically' make a decision to his plans for the future, and everything is happily ever after. To sum up I think this is a good all around episode that helps develop the story of Parker Lewis.
