OMG! The writers are SO mean! To immediately follow that news with the the other was like getting your heart ripped out!

I really liked Amber's storyline and hope that Ryan is really that nice of a guy and not suffering from some sort of acute PTSD that is compelling him to take it slow.

I thought Ray Romano was only going to be in a handful of episodes - 6+ out of 15 is more than a handful. It's more than a third of the season.

Another great episode that made me cry again. Such a great show!

Yeah, the stuff with Amber and Ryan was pretty good. Also, way to go Max. Adam telling Kristina about his class president win in the recovery room was a touching moment.
