It's Thanksgiving and Nick wants to spend time with his family. Of course, Tripp wants him to do something else that would take him away from his family. They go to the country house and Lisa comes along. They invite Simon Elder over to talk . . In the end, we find out that Simon's parents were screwed by Tripp's parents. It's like family bickering... Meanwhile, Karen's mom is trying to get Karen and Nick together, sneaky sneaky! Overall, I didn't really think the story in this episode was interesting. I liked learning more about the characters and their past though.
Tripp organizes a sit down with his Son, Paddy and Simon Elder at Thanksgiving with Nick being there after the dinner a few truth's comes out Tripp reveals Simon's family secrets and Simon gets upset.
Patrick then lashes out at his father in disgust and walks out of the room. Elsewhere Ellen demands that Paddy bring Carmelita right away so they can discuss how this is gonna work out.
Brian Snr misses his son, Nick is on the case as they disuss legal options in regards to thier son. Jeremy lies to Sofia about his real Second name coz he wasnt her to know that his a Darling, she agrees to go a date with him.
I liked the episode a lot. There was a lot going on and I thought everyone had an important role in the epsiode. The highlight of the episode was obviously the sitdown between Simon Elder and Tripp Darling where we learned the hatred between the two individuals. It really makes you look at Tripp and Simon a new way now. You almost feel for Simon and see Tripp as the bad guy now. We have all had a Nick George being the good guy and Tripp being the guy we really couldnt make a distinction about. Then when this whole thing with Simon Elder came up we all viewed Tripp as the good guy here, even though he isn't what it seems. Patrick Darlings storyline is okay, but its kind of getting old. I like the storyline with Jermey, but I dont know what happened to Juliet in this episode. Jermeys relationship seems doomed to fail with everything that has happend so far. It seems like he has told too many lies in order for him to be good at this point. Brains storyline is devoloping and looks to be coming to a conclusion soon. With only a couple of episodes left until a possible season/series/i dont even know finale...things seem to be picking up. I just hope the writers can pull it all together.
