The TV Chick: But back to Lux and Jones’ “date,” that he picks her up at 9 am for. They are driving somewhere quite far and Lux is skeptical. However, they discover that they both have the same taste in music. (At first I thought that Baze told Jones what Lux likes, but it turns out that isn’t true). While Lux and Jones are on their date, Baze finds a text message from Ryan to Lux (she left her phone at home). Ryan is going to buy Lux a car, and Baze is none too pleased about this fact. Finally, Lux and Jones arrive at their destination and Tasha runs out of the house. Lux and Tasha embrace in an incredibly great moment. Jones is obviously a good guy. I am still wondering about Bug and if he will ever come back, but I like that there is another love interest for Lux. Lux and Tasha spend the whole day catching up, and Jones babysits the other foster kids. (Team Abercrombie?) full review here

TV Fanatic: We liked seeing Baze and Ryan sharing a beer together and quasi bonding. Odd, yes, but nice nonetheless. Ryan needs a friend and wouldn’t it be something if he and Baze become bros?

We love this show and can’t see what will be the next development in each of their lives. What did you guys think? Also, anyone else love that the bong lamp came up in conversation again this week? full review here

Ryan: The real question is what the hell is wrong with you.

Baze: I get that you and Cate have issues – I don’t care.

Math: I’m not a stalker – I’m a long time fan.

Cate: I made my bed, and now I have to lie about it – awesome.

Someone has a crush on Math…

Television Without Pity: “Even though Math literally has nothing to do with anything outside of turtle racing — albeit a pretty kick-ass contribution to the show in general.”

Zap2it: Random thoughts:

  • Loved Joe Purdy’s “Can’t Get it Right Today” as the opening track. He’s one of my favorite artists. Check him out! (Also: Schuyler Fisk at the end! Good stuff.)
  • Were those bands on Jones’ iPod real? If so, I am REALLY old because I haven’t heard of a one of them.
  • This was the first time I realized Math’s name is actually Matthew. Did we already know this?
  • One of my favorite things about this show is how each adult character has a different yet wonderful relationship with Lux. Baze is the fun dad who is great at making her feel better, Ryan is the “cool” guy she can talk with about cars and boys, and Cate is the mom who uses her own life experiences to dole out advice. They’re building great things here, character-wise.

Favorite quotes:

  • “I gotta admit, I was psyched about having Lux stay with us, but she’s so depressing. How long can she cry over a guy with a web on his neck?” - Baze
  • “Right. I made my bed, now I have to lie about it.” - Cate
  • “Don’t bother trying to fix us, Cate. Just fix yourself.” - Ryan
