    Fantastic Episode! The character KC is always surprsing me. I find it interesting that his mother shows up at the football game wanting KC to be in her life. I love the backstory that his mother was a druggie. I can't believe KC's mother used to lock KC in a closet while she got high. KC really ends up being a jerk to his mother which makes this episode a lot more interesting. I mean his mother has been sober for 2 years, has a job, and has an apartment. Then KC steals her alcohol, and he's going to tell the social worker that she gave it to him. I love how Jenna actually has a brain and told KC that his mother is nice. When Bianca sees the alcohol, it makes me think that she might of have a drinking storyline. I love the Clare storyline. I'm really glad that the episode showed that Clare's parents are fighting all the time. If it was just about Clare being upset because she got a bad grade then the storyline wouldn't be worth it. I love how Clare skipped school with Eli. I can't believe they almost kiss. I'm kind of hoping they get together. I love Alli's plot in this episode. I love how they were all playing Strip Never Have I Ever. Then I love the ending with Drew kissing Alli. I give this episode a 9.3/10.moreless

    KC does not want to live with his mother and instead wants to continue living in the group home. Alli wants to know how she should ask Drew out, and Clare develops a crush on Eli when they are partners for an English paper.

    good episode, KC is a great character and I really liked his plot. Clare's was good too, I hope she and Eli develop a relationship, I dunno why, and Alli's plot was pretty good. Overall nothing i did not like really and thus the episode gets an A+ from me, simply a great episode, me thinksmoreless

    This episode was a bit better than the last episode, since it had a bigger cliffhanger and the plots were dynamic. In this episode, Alli throws a party to get close to Drew, they play a very sexy game of Strip "I Never" and it leads to a makeout session between Drew & Alli, who knows where that will go? Alli has never been my favorite character, so her plots don't seem to impress me much, but in this case, I liked her plot. Although I do feel as though she is using Dave, which is messed up. Alli needs to grow up and get knocked down a few pegs soon, 'cause she has all the wrong ideas about high school. Ideas she's had since season 8! Eli & Clare become writing partners, and now Clare's parents have marital problems. Any mention of Darcy? Nope, not one. Clare should seek comfort in her sister, not a guy she just met. Anyways, I don't know how I feel about Eli, I don't like the way he acts. I know he's supposed to be the "cool laid back guy." But he just looks awkward in my book. The most serious plot of all is KC's mother coming back in to KC's life. And KC trying to prove she's no good for him was a brilliant plot. He thinks up a plan to make it seem like his mom gave him booze, but when Jenna wont go along with his plan. Who will he seek comfort to? Bianca; And it's left hanging from there. Great buildup, cliffhanger and episode overall.moreless
