  10 Perfect

  This is the best episode of the season so far. hide show

  I thought the episode was very moving. I love every minute of it. It captures the real moments in life in an non-cheesy way. When Lyla broke down, you can feel what she's feeling. The speech Tim said to her, after the football game, wasn't the typical lovey-dovey kind of speech, but more of a sweet and touching speech. I also really like the relationship between Matt and his mom. It seems like she's making up for lost time. The altercation between JD and his dad was surprising. I'm glad it happened because his dad was controlling every bit of his life. It's about time JD stepped up and stand up for himself.

  Do you agree?
