Episode 410 "I wanna be hard, mom. You have no idea how much I want to be hard." ~Brian

This was an interesting episode. Not the best of season four or anything, but I really liked it A LOT. It had some extremely powerful sequences and solid acting all around, not to mention the closing (and opening) of a couple story arcs and even more amazing dialogue to boot. The scene with Sharon Gless and Gale Harold where he tells her that he had cancer was really well done and simply spectacular, and of course there's the scene between Brian and his mother. The ending was sensational (as always) between Ben and Michael, and the scene with Justin and Michael at the Chinese place was hilarious. I can't wait to see what's going on with Lindsay and that artist, and Emmett and the football player make for a really interesting watch!
