Actually, there was very little about Rachel in this one (except for that hilarius cake scene!
On the other hand, I found it very interesting that will this time didn't go all the way trough with April. I know someone (mostly W/Emma shippers) were concerned about first episode's Will making out with Shelby, but looks like he didn't turn into a womanizer, yet.

Well, April doesn't look like Rachel, of course he didn't make out with her.

I thought Will was very cute with April, actually, I loved the One Less Bell duet and how they slept together (you know, just sleeping). I think Will really needs a friend he doesn't want to jump, though. He's obviously going through some rough stuff. Maybe he should talk with this students a little more. (Sorry! I can't help the inappropriate talk! ;))

And it was weird to see so little of Rachel. But she was the cutest with Jesse, I must admit.

Also: yay discussions! :D

*giggles* You took the words right out of my mouth!

I agree that Will needs a friend he doesn't want to jump, but I definitely got the impression he wanted April, he just... I don't know, managed to control himself. Speaking of friends, where's Ken in all this? I get that there's Emma related tension, but they're supposed to be best friends!!

The lack of Rachel was weird. It was nice to see so much of the others, though. Her and Jesse were adorable... but whenever they were in the back of a shot, I kept thinking he was Will! ;D

I don't know about Ken, they never seemed so friendly to me. (Of course we've only seen them with Emma.) Also I think Terri would be a big reason why Will doesn't have friend, you know, shrew and all that.

I think Will doesn't really want April, she's so childish, I think he mostly wants to protect her? And he just felt really lonely, poor darling. Also, Will and Rachel would be duetting constantly if they lived together. SIGH. Obviously my dreams can never be.

Come to think of it, my "best friends" comment was a result of a fic I read not actually show canon. (That sometimes happens with Will/Rachel fic too *g*) In the earlier episodes I definitely did get the impression that the two of them were friends, though. Of course, with the Will/Emma thing and the Terri = cow thing I can see why they could have drifted apart but I really liked the "Will hanging out with the guys" scenes in Acafellas and I think he could really use something like that now.

Yeah, I got that impression towards the end of One Less Bell to Answer but at the start of the episode (and maybe a little towards the end) I saw some sparks... of course, whenever Will is onscreen I get a little hot under the collar, so I could just be projecting ;)

Ohmigod, that would be the best thing ever!! They'd have a piano in the living room and would sit 'round it at every opportunity (and, of course, Rachel would arrive daily with lists of songs for them to sing). If only it would really happen! :D

And she can make Will's favorite cookies for him everyday!
