Dreaming in a bubble

9.0

"Superb"

By sweet_em, Oct 07, 2006

Edina halluciantes that her life has become upside down. Bubble actually does something. Eddy goes back to school and adopts several Romania babies.
I guess this episode is OK, but i don't love it nearly as much as some of the other.
Love the part where Patsy chases after Saffy's friend Danny and I love the part where Patsy rearranges the DNA balls on Saffy's project.
Other than that I'm not sure if there is anything else really worth getting excited over. It's good and I'll always watch it, but there are other episodes that are just plain better in the long run.moreless
