I am hoping for many icons of this episode.
Oh, please, make Joe White evil, or at least with not just ~good intentions, because, vjkevlrfnbvjgk, still don't like him. I am so glad that Steve wasn't all 'HE CALLS ME SON YAY YAY' about him. It really made me happy that Steve doubted him and his intentions.
Now, how much of Steve asking Cath to look into it sent her to serve? Because I'm sorry, it smells suspicious to me. I loved that goodbye between her and Steve, though, Steve telling her they should meet up halfway and the tears in her eyes and Steve being all, jnfel, Steve, I just. I'd hoped for a kiss, but that hug was good, too. Just, Cath, I'll miss you honey, oh :(. Write me all the fics where they meet up in Mumbai THANK YOUUUU.
Danny, I can't even. His flustered, stammering idiot self when Autumn Reeser came in, I just, oh, BLESS YOU, HOW CUTE ARE YOU, and then he asker her out and yes, because I LOVE HER, OKAY, I HAVE NO SHAME IN SAYING THIS, I ADORE HER AND I WANT HER AROUND ALWAYS. Now, of course I wish there had been some more closure with the whole Rachel business, but, AUTUMN REESER. Also, Danny in that shirt at the end of the episode, I honestly flailed in my chair. Now write me all the awkward first date fics, THANK YOUUUU.
Also, the car discussion (because it wasn't a cargument really) about Gabrielle was just, the cutest thing. A coffee is not a date, it's a beverage, heeee ::draws little hearts around them::
Also, I want Autumn Reeser to come back and wear a woodchuck costume and stalk Danny, just a little, just because. OH TAYLOR I MISS YOU, YOU AND RYAN WERE MY FAVOURITES YOU WERE. /the OC random moment
Lori, I still don't quite get. I don't understand what she's doing there? Like, it doesn't make sense, because she's supposed to be babysitting but she's not really, is she? And she's taking some of Danny's space (so is Joe, I wish that first scene at Kamekona's shrimp truck had been with Danny, and it would have been in S1), and I guess it was to relieve Scotty Caan a little, I get that, but, in a way, it still doesn't compute. And at first I was cutting the actress some slack because she was settling in the role, but now I'm starting to wonder if she doesn't have the Chad Michael Murray syndrome of the two faces and that is all she can pull.
I read some review that said the Cath storyline was wrapped up to leave more space to the Steve/Lori flirting. There was flirting? Besides that one look at the end when Cath was waiting in Steve's office, I really don't see it? But that might be just me.
Max I love you, I have nothing else to say to that, I just love you muchly.
Overall, I enjoyed this episode a lot, I really did, and I'm happy that I did because I really wanted to. \o/
OH WAIT.
FLAIIIIIIIIIIIL.
Oh, btw, I refuse to talk about Kono until we know more. Because it's driving me crazy.
