    Eddie and Nick go to New York and to get Owen and bring him back to Knights Ridge. Hannah tries to sort out her feelings for Nick and decides to go the safe route and get back with Ray. hide show

    I loved this episode. I loved how Eddie hadn't forgiven Nick completely but he was starting too. I think it is great that no matter how mad the guys are at eachother, they are there for eachother and have eachothers backs. Eddie doesn't allow Big Boy Brett to beat the crap out of Nick. I think that shows exactly what a stand up guy Eddie realy is. I love the conversation between Eddie, Nick, Owen where Nick says "Owen Rowan, to meddle is to give a damn!". That might be my favorite line of this episode. I got really excited in the beginning when I thought that Hannah and Nick were actually kissing, til I realized they were in NY and I was an idiot. This dream showed just how much Hannah still loves Nick, which is why I couldn't understand why she went back to Big Cat. Then we find out that Eddie and Hannah have a secret at the very end of the episode. Wonder what that secret could be.

    Review hide show

    I thought the comeback episode was very good. The drama didn't give me a soap oprah feel, which I got in the couple of episodes last season which was kind of a turn off. The show picked right up where it left off, which I liked a lot. I didnt feel behind with the long hiatus waiting for the show to come back. My one big grip with the episode would be that at times the dialouge felt really forced, to the point where you could really tell that it was a script. Scripts are supposed to come off as opposite of what they are, but there were a few scenes in there that didnt feel very October Roadish. I thought the last couple of minutes were really good, best of the series I think. Just a lot of character devolopment, friendship devolopment and even a little bit of mystery there at the end with Eddie going to see Hannah and telling her that they need to tell nick something. The big thing would obviously be that Eddie is the father of the little boy, which would create a whole lot of drama if no one else knows. Overall, solid episode and I cant wait to watch the next one.

    Wasn't that good at the beginning, but it ended with a bang! hide show

    October Road is back, the show that critics hate, but fans seem to love. Kinda' like a teen drama, without the teens and actually a bearable plot!

    AS the title states, Nick and Eddie are going all the way to The Big Apple to get Owen back. Owen was hilarious wearing his hideous shirt and partying with the girls, it just wasn't Owen. Eddie meets someone new, but she was no Janet (a good thing?) Nick on the other hand gets judged by nearly everyone.

    Hannah... oh Hannah, you are just one confused girl aren't you? Ah well... I hope for your sake, you do not end up with Ray... Nick really is perfect for you. And as for that line at the end, who knew you were such a naughty girl Hannah!

    The season starts by continuing the drama of last season and once again, leaves you wanting more. Jaw-dropping ending...well, kinda. hide show

    I loved this episode. It started out pretty normal, not that much drama, but as it prolonged, it got more intense. Beginning with the whole trip to New York, and already being in New York. I also love the frenemy/love-hate relationship between Nick and Eddie. AND how Amiquay was seducing Eddie, and he decided to go and give Janet a ring. That was just SO sweet. One of the things I like the most from this show is Eddie and Nick's relationship. There's this tension between them, but they have each other's back--no matter what. An example of which is that scene where Nick and Eddie have this "face-off" with Big Boy Brett. After the whole discussion they had earlier, Eddie had Nick's back. And another thing, I hate Ray Cataldo, he has this way of just ruining your mood. That's why I give this episode a 9.7 instead of a 10. I hope that him and Hannah don't get back together anytime soon, or EVER. What goes on with her, anyway? She's totally confusing. She leaves Ray for Nick, and now that she knows Nick still loves her, she goes and makes some sort of connection with Ray. The last scene with Eddie and Hannah is so open-ended. You think it's one thing, but then you realize that it could mean so may other things. I was really shocked at the end cause the first thought that came to my mind was that Eddie might be Sam's father, but when I watched it again and listed to how he said what he did, there is a possibility that it could be something else. It's amazing, intense, and dramatic. In every episode of this series so far, I remember each time why i love it so much.

    Nick and Eddie go to New York to bring Owen back to the Ridge, this trip puts a strain on Eddi and Nick's reconciliation. Hannah is torn between two loves. Ikey and Allison feel the strain of their affair. hide show

    Ok so this episode left a lot of things hanging for me.

    We got the whole Nick and Eddie bringing Owen back, and Hannah reliving the decalration Nick made on her front porch.

    What about Phil and the Pizza Girl, I mean he did makle it outside, but then what?

    What happened to Gavin Goddard? Is he really Sam's father?

    I think Will Sasso is hilarious and he was great as Big Boy Brett Rowen. I knew that Owen would come back with Eddie and Nick, because he is not like his crazy brother, he is a family man, and he is smart enough to know that running away will not solve his problems. That last scen where he was watching his kids sleep and then Allison showed up was really heartwarming. I had one problem with it, why were the brother and sister sleeping in one room, that to me was just weird.

    I liked Eddie's performance in this episode, he basically forced Nick to think about all the things his return has meant to his friends, family, hometown, and even his new hometown. He clearly did not sleep with whatever her name was, cause he is hung up on Janet, that voicemail, was almost as classic as the veal scallopini dinner.

    Poor Hannah, she is still torn between Nick, the love of her life, and Ray, the steady solid guy who can promise not break her heart.

    Then there was that conversation Eddie had with Hannah on her front porch, what is it exactly that they have to tell Nick. See I have this theory that Eddie maybe Sam's dad, Janet once said he takes him to little league try outs and Star Wars movies, dad kinda stuff, I mean Sam displays a lot of Nick-like qualities, and I am sure it is just a teaser that they want you to suspect, but it would make for a great plot twist.

    All in all a good season premiere, and what looks like a good season.
