Crying for Help, 4 August 2007
8/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Ruth is totally upset with George, who asks his daughter Maggie to take him to a new session of electroshock. He recalls when his mother, Loretta Smith Sibley, committed suicide and asked him to hold her hand. David and Keith have trouble with the adoption process and David overreacts. Rico goes to an undertaker convention and meets his former replacement Angela, and they have one night stand. Brenda is bounced against the wall by a patient and her colleague Jackie invites her to have dinner with her family. Brenda feels very comfortable and schedules a family dinner with Nate and Maya. Claire plans with Billy to move to Spain but her allowance is cut by her family lawyer since she dropped the college, and she argues with Ruth.

"Hold My Hand" is another humanistic episode of "Six Feet Under". I am really impressed with the great acting and development of characters in this series. The situation of the poor George being rejected by Ruth and the attitude of Brenda, who was raised by a dysfunctional family, feeling the true meaning of family and making her best efforts trying to make her own family stronger are very touching. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Me De a Mão" ("Give Me the Hand")
