Episode - Parents Weekend part 1.



I am finding the episode, not necessarily heartbreaking, but difficult to say the least. It really gives a peek into how each person was formed.

Amber's mom - Killing me. My thought is she is not really a stable personality - manic depressive under the guise of a free spirit. I also think the way she tried to sabatoge Amber was because she is afraid of having a daughter who, in her eyes, is competition.

Will's parents - I know people are saying "her parents own a gym and she has had acess to all the equipment" but I think it is bigger than that. That commercial wasn't for "a gym" it was for a "gym empire" and the last thing they needed was a child who didn't fit the mold they make their money off of. Plus, don't forget Will is a sensative child and even if her parents said things to her in a well meaning way ... she may have turned it sour.


Dr. Rand - seeing her dad with Will. She must have felt that she had not been good enough for him.


There were others too - but these are the ones that bothered me the most.

Ambers mom reminded me of my mom. Which makes me understand where Amber is coming from. I feel bad for her.

I think all the characters now have a lot more depth. This was definitely a very well developed episode.

Agreed. Amber's mom reminded me of my mom as well. I love the characterization they are adding...finally feeling an emotional attachment to some of the characters :)

Amber's mom seemed possibly chemically enhanced. From her personality I would have thought she had Amber when she was really young, except she's older than I am and looks it. Somebody who partied too hard and never grew up, and is caught between wanting to be her daughters best friend and her competitor. Be pretty enough to be a credit to me, show what good potential you got from me but for God's sake don't get prettier than me!

Trent is such a weenie.
