  Season finale revolving around Samantha's birthday. hide show

  This was a nice ending to the season which has left me wondering will Samantha and Todd ever really get together and does she actually want to? It seems they both cheated on each other in the past. Dena was great as the useless party organiser and Andrea and Regina had some nice moments too. In fact, these two seemed to have almost a reconciliation over the fact they both secretly buy a particular issue of Good Housekeeping. The episode sets us up nicely for season 2 which I, for one, am now looking forward to seeing. Worth a look.

  Do you agree?
