By Canogaparkcindy, Mar 20, 2008

Tn this episode, Franny decides to go to church because Raja says their traditional supermarket shopping is like Church. Christmas is coming up. Claire wants to go on the pill for Christmas. But Franny wont let her until she joins the play, they have at the church to play Virgin Mary. She says OK. Meanwhile. The dad buys cheap novelty items. Dan is so happy they're going to church. Then Franny realizes the only reason she was enjoying the play is because of the boys so she takes her out of it> Claire comes to her senses & does the play. Great episode! It was weird at the end how Claire actually wanted to go to curch with Franny. That was out off character. SO yeah great plot. Great screenplay. GREAT EVERYTHING!moreless

Church!

9.0

By VGFreak8, Dec 12, 2007

Raja points out that the Tolchucks don't go to church, but instead go to a shopping store. Franny thinks about it and has everyone go to church. Justin gets the wrong idea about prayer. Claire wants birth control pills for Christmas, but Franny will only give them to her if she takes an abstinence class at the church. She meets a guy who's in the class, just to get a car. Gary buys merchandise that is not what it seems. Franny chooses to keep going to church no matter what.

This was a good episode! I don't agree with Claire and sex. She's just a sophomore! At least, she asked for pills, but she shouldn't be doing it anyway. Also, I'm glad Justin learned a little about prayer, but is still kind of fuzzy about it. Raja seemed the most "Christian" besides Franny. This episode gets a 9.0 out of 10!moreless
