"Superb"

By Jon_MW_14, Sep 21, 2011

"All in a Good Cause" is an excellent episode with a horrible "A" plot. I LOVED THE SUBPLOT!!! I hate the character Claude. He is such a hypocrite. He talks as if he's this big rebel but then get scared when the police are nearby. I hated how he convinces Caitlin to spray paint on the building and he leaves Caitlin behind when the police show up. The only thing I love about this plot is Caitlin breaking up with Claude. Now, I love, love, love the subplot. In this episode, Scott is harassing and stalking Kathleen. It was so intense how Scott beat up Kathleen again. I love how Kathleen called the police and pressed charges. I give this episode a 9/10.moreless

Don't ever stay in a relationship with someone who doesn't love you or that does not care about you at all. Stay safe

"Perfect"

By andrewcwilson, Jun 29, 2008

To all those teenage girls out there, if anyone you're in love with or in a couple relationship with and they hit you, please don't have hope that they will never do it again. If they do it once, they'll do it again. I promise it won't end good. Leave them immediately and tell someone that you trust with all your heart or go to a hotline or a counseling or a teacher anywhere that you believe will help keep you safe and maybe even save your life. That was wrong what Scott did to Kathleen. All she did was love him in the right way a man should be loved.moreless

"Good"

By Ilikedj, Dec 20, 2006

I always liked Caitlin and Claude's relationship up until this point. It's so much easier to talk of not neglecting your friends when you have a boyfriend, when you're not in that situation. So it's sad to see that they keep on like this, even though clearly Claude is liked by Caitlin's mom.But here we see his true colors; that he can talk the talk, but he can't walk the walk. The part with Arthur and Luke, it's just funny, but I'd be proud of Arthur for sticking up for himself. And I think Mr Raditch must have sensed it too, since he just congratulated the class, and then quietly asked him and Yick to come over and clean up the mess. Shows that teachers have a heart too; they're not just slave drivers who happen to be in the classroom. The part with Scott, it can be scary at first. It's like, she broke up with him, she moved on to be more with her friends, and yet he's still stalking and beating her! I never saw any part where I assume Melanie found her, called for help, and help encouraged her to press charges. This signals the end of Scott around Kathleen.moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Historical Reference: Claude talks about the Chicago Seven, but has no idea who they were. The Chicago Seven (originally Eight) were a group of militant anti-war protesters arrested in 1968 and charged with attempting to incite a riot at the Democratic National Convention, among other things. Five were convicted at trial, but that decision was reversed on appeal.
