Claudia isn't pregnant.

8.0

By Canogaparkcindy, Dec 31, 2008

I thought this episode didn't quite meet up to my expectations. Is Claudia pregnant? And it turns out she wasn't. I waited all summer for that? But no, it was a good episode, opened up new doors for the series. Sean buys a bar that Eddie plans to burn down for insurance but then Sean doesn't let him & he keeps the bar. I wonder where there taking this plot line. I hope we see more of the bar in next episode. Everyone's hairstyle is different except Eddie & Henry's. Um, yeah I can't wait to see more of season three.moreless
