I was more than a little annoyed. Since when did that idiotic show become a prerequisite for getting major guest spots on FOX dramas.

This episode was PAINFUL. I was hoping, nay, PRAYING that Tru would let her die on Day Number 2.
The writing, while never exactly stellar, was horrendous tonight. The only storyline I could stomach was Jack & Harrison's.
So...lemme get this straight...
Tamyra had a kid 8 years ago.
Since she didn't want her kid exposed to the evil tabloids for the rest of her life, she decided to fake her death and leave the country? Which, of course, would make more sense than just leaving the industry and fading like so many of the "celebrities" do today.
Great storyline guys.
Well, look at it this way guys...at least she didn't SING.

This was their worst show since the "Flatliners" episode. Surprising since the show has gotten quite good lately.

yeah, a girl like her would be so huge that she would have to leave the country? she isn't elvis presley, there were absolutely no reporters around her any time we saw her...i agree with rogue, a celebrity like here would just have to stop acting...very dumb story tonight....i also thought jack/harrison's subplot was lame...

I also didn't care much for this episode. But there is something up with Jack. He's giving Harrison all the bad advices so his relationship with Lindsey went down the drain in 1 episode after so many times Tru helped Harrison with his mistakes in the past episodes.

Well, to be honest, once Harrison actually did something right [dinnner the first time around], I figured he was going to crash and burn during the do-over...

The only way this makes any sense at all is if Harrison wanted to get out of his relationship with Lindsay (and I see no reason to think he did). He could have done that very easily on his own, he didn't need Jack's "advice" to do it.

I wasn't paying full attention to the beginning of this episode. The very first scene shows Tamyra getting stabbed by someone. It didn't seem to have anything to do with the rest of the episode. What was that all about?

Was this the first time the dead body knew Tru? She said "Tru, I need your help."
What? No love for Luc?!?!? I hope he rejoins the scenario before the season ends!
Also I downloaded the theme "Somebody Help Me" by Full Blown Rose from from iTunes last night - cool beans!

The scene is needed to show why Tru came to the conclusion that Tamyra was killed by someone with malicious intent. Turned out it was all just coincidence. She wasn't ran off the road by someone; she did it herself. And she died because she was ran over by someone unintentionally.
