"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is a great episode of this second season. Nate has a lesson of life with the widow Marilyn Johnson. The intriguing and unstable Brenda now has to face Billy and her mother, and becomes aware of Nate's illness. The close destructive contacted of Claire with Billy is a question mark in the story, and the return of the addicted mother of Taylor in a moment where Keith is disturbed is also very intriguing. The consequences for Rico of the revelation of Vanessa to Graciela may also bring serious consequences. The beautiful pray of Keith is one of the best moments of this episode. My vote is ten.
