Let's start by getting this out of the way: This was definitely the best episode yet, and I don't think I'm being too bold in saying that. This show finally found a perfect balance with their characters. Let's hope it stays that way. It has been a serious issue thus far.
We got a lovely story with Maashous. I teared up when Gordy's mom told him he's part if their family. That definitely was powerful.
We also got to see Michael, which is great because he hasn't been developed all that well until this episode, which took it the one necessary step further. I appreciate the storyline with Michael so much. It confronts the story with honesty and it's truly beautiful.
We also got more development with Simon and Jeremy's story, which is great considering last week was a huge disappointment in that department.
Loved that we got to see more of Lou also! I'm not at all surprised by Gordy not putting forth his best effort in rehabilitation, though. It's quite obvious and I'm also not buying that this information surprises Lou and Gail.
Thank goodness it wasn't just all Lillette and Robbie again because it was getting to be way too much for me.
The only thing I didn't like in this episode was Vanessa's tired and dual storyline. We've seen it so many times. It was nice that we got to see her stand up for herself in a few episodes back, but now we've resorted back to this boring cliché storyline.
Again, best episode yet. I am so happy that this show is finally finding a balance. Let's hope it stays that way.
"This Will God Willing Get Better" gets an 8.4/10 from me.
