THOUGHTS:
This episode is a bit dumb. I hated the country bumpkin/feud parts of it - especially the girl's accent and language.
Also, while Tony definitely crosses the line, not sure how scratching/adjusting can be considered that, esp when Kate's back was practically turned at the time. His comment, of course, was inappropriate, but like I said, not sure if the first part really warranted a scold.
RATING: 1.5 - not a fan of this one, but Abby was endearing.
