Real good episode! I was surprised that the episode focused more on Sarah, her ex and their kids than it did with Crosby. Once the argument began and the end, it was obvious to see what they were building up to. Looking forward to next weeks episode!

This show continues to impress - easily one of my favourite hours on TV. Even when the characters are acting like total assholes (Crosby) I still find it engaging. Amber's blow up at her dad was terrific (it was nice to see her get a chance to shine a bit IMO). Really hope this comes back for a third season.

My wife refers to this show as "hey look it's the show about depressed people that always yell at each other".

I absolutely Love this show. I can't wait for each episode. This is a surprise favorite for me. I can't get enough of the overlapping dialogue it is so well done and written and performed. It's a story about family and they talk over each other just like you would in real life and they capture those moments. Whether it's happiness, sorrow, or anger. The moments in this show are what make it incredible.

All these characters do is yell and cry at each other and moan about how their feelings are hurt.

Mae Whitman is an amazing actress.
Great show. Every storyline is interesting and engaging except for this Crosby/Gaby nonsense. I hated how they both tried to act like the victims. Shut up or make better choices you fuckheads.
And if they plan on making them a couple now (Gaby: "Because, I like you!" Crosby about it being just sex: "You're wrong!") I will use the FF button.

I really liked the argument at the end, though, where Max finally heard that he has Asperger's. I'm looking forward to the next episode to see how that's dealt with.

It was an obligatory Arrested Development reference to her character in that show.
I think she does a great job on this show. Amazing job displaying all those emotions. Those yelling arguments in the past few episodes are very raw and real and go on to the point of making me uncomfortable!

I am really liking this show but the whole Crosby/Jasmine storyline has always the weak link in this show.
I really don't like either of them.
Loved the Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson scene towards the end. They really need to have more scenes together.
