Absolutely Brilliant
20 September 2011 | by (Gibraltar, Gibraltar) – See all my reviews

Fantastic episode. For me, it captured the essence of what it was like to be a cancer sufferer, yet to also suffer the pain of seeing a close friend pass away from it. The way Laura Linney (Cathy) portrayed and played her part was incredible, she really showed such incredible emotion. It was a shame to see Lee go when he did, but throughout all the episodes he was in he played a great part. The twist of Mykail being an illegal immigrant as his student visa expired also added to the episode, with Andrea being left in the lurch on their wedding night. And, for the surprise drugs test for Paul, that should leave something interesting for the season finale. It's unfortunate that he got dragged in to snorting cocaine and turning a blind eye to Mykail's thievery, but it just shows that everyone is human.
