Emmett: [Drew tackles him] ...this also isn't that much different from my Saturday nights.

Amazing ending saves somewhat uneventful episode

Episode 409 "And if I wanted to leave you, I've had better reasons, plenty of them!" ~Justin

This episode didn't do much in the way of forwarding the plot, but it did have quite a few Justin/Brian scenes that made it all worthwhile. I also have a bad feeling that the Ben/Michael relationship could end in disaster. The whole Hollywood deal continues to get exceedingly interesting, and I can't wait to see how it all ends. Debbie's relationship with Horvath is kind of faulty, especially since he seemed so keen to come to her aid last episode.The ending with Justin and Brian was perfect, and it gave Justin some absolutely clever dialogue. Hunter is actually a pretty decent character now, and I don't mind him at all.
