    Johnny finds Mrs. Nolan, Eddie's mom, and tries asking questions. He and Liza begin to form a friendship. Johnny ends things with Greta. Cliff hates Travis and wrecks his car on purpose with Nikki. They also kiss, Cliff and Nikki, that is. Bob tells Karen to talk Johnny about his dad. Johnny and Jesse Jo want Nikki to stop drinking and she does too. Greta and Johnny make up after she tells him that she slept with Cliff the night before Eddie died. Tess makes Travis leave after he tries to kill Cliff. Liza reveals that she was the one IMing Johnny. She says that Cliff and Greta murdered Eddie.



    This episode was great! Probably my favorite so far! I really like Liza, but she's so mysterious. I don't like Travis though. I'm glad he left. The end was really good! This episode gets a 10!
  • Greta makes a confession and Johnny discovers who's been sending him instant messages.

    Another episode with a great ending. The writers must like big climaxes, the last 3 episodes ended with a big revelation. I'm not exactly sure why they do this, they're revelations, not cliff-hangers as such, even though they are still probably intended to make you want to tune in next week.



    This week’s was a slight anti-climax for the viewers, we already knew Liza was the one writing the IMs but for Johnny it was big news. Then her claims that Eddie was actually murdered and that she saw the murderers. A nice set-up for the next episode.



    Quite a good episode.
  • pretty great episode

  • You sober people don't know when to quit!

    I titled one of my blogs "You sober people don't know when to quit" because I thought it was sooo hilarious when Nikki said that. I really hope Nikki is gonna recover. I like her character, but I'm a little disappointed that she seems to be wearing so many similarities to the character Tessa Thompson already played on Veronica Mars. Still, I really like her and I hope she'll not screw up again. Somehow taking on a sponsor is a good start, I guess.

    I have to confess though that I totally dig her and Cliff. He's a psycho and I hope she'll realize soon that it's better to stay away from him. But they were kinda hot in this eppy!
  • The last scene in Liza's garage was good, but previous 40 minutes of dullness to make a right impression is not a good idea for the show that is to end soon, is it?

    In this episode we got to see more Cliff, like he warmed up or someting. He can have quite a good storyline if he's not around Greta all the time teasing her and longing to her as noone sees him. The way he got rid of his mom's boyfriend was so devilish and nasty but also very deliberate. He knew exactly what was gonna happen and he took advantage of his mother's priority order :]



    I did not expect her to jump out with the gun and "I'm from Texas, you moron!" by the way.



    Greta tried to calm down Johnny by telling him the fairytale where essentially she was the victim. Oh, poor Greta. I wonder if Johnny believed her, hope not. After his last conversation with Liza he has no choice but to smell the swindle of some kind.



    I am going to watch next 3 episodes inter alia to see how long Nikki will stay sober.

    Well, Johnny is getting answers to questions that he has had since he got here in Palm Springs. Still this show is getting slow and doesn't really have a plot or anything it is borig at most times but i watch it because it is somethign to watch on a wednesday. I think this show needs a facelift. Well this episode shows how Johnny inds out who has been sending him messages and that Eddie was murdered and did not kill himself. The show seems to be coming to an end we shall wait and see how this goes. watch.
  • A great title for an underused character coming into her prime.

    Liza ruled this ep and rightly so. I was loving the mystery and how we got to evolve with the characters. Could it have been better? Sure, if Liza and Cliff made out but that's my fantasy.



    This show just keeps getting better and I can't wait to see where it goes.
  • The episode was decent.

    This episode was okay. Greta tells her version to Johnny about Eddie's death. I know that Johnny was pretty messed up with his own problems when he arrived in this town, by the time these people get through messing with him, no telling. Although I have to admit Johnny seems to be the most levelheaded person in this town. Cliff is a master brain at manipulation. He knew how to work his mother, that's for sure. The way he set up his mother's boyfriend was quite devilish. Although he needed to go and we all knew it. But Cliff, he is not no dummy at all.
  • This was my introduction to the series, so the review is not too in-depth. I enjoyed it though.

    This was the first episode of Hidden Palms I have seen. I hadn’t heard of the series until stumbling upon it on this site, so I decided to check the show out and was not disappointed. It is not brilliant or anything I’ve never seen before, but it was a entertaining hour of television. The characters are all pretty interesting though the acting is sketchy in places. Despite the shows flaws, it has an overall fun feel to it and I am disappointed to hear that the show will end after its short first season. This is better than any of the other new summer shows. This particular episode is interesting as we see progress made in the quest to solve the mystery of the boy who died in Johnny’s room. Overall, this is a decent episode of TV that I recommend to any fans of teen dramas.
  • They spend the whole episode building up to an obvious conclusion.

    I think that people are being a little harsh with their ratings of this show. It's the summer, and there's not much else on, and I've definitely seen worse shows than this one. It was completely obvious that Liza would say that Greta and Cliff killed Eddie 4 episodes ago. Ever since Cliff said that Johnny wouldn't want to touch Greta when he found out who she was I knew it was something about them being involved with Eddie's death. I don't think that's all there is to this story, but I also haven't watched the episode after this yet. The whole time Nikki was with Cliff I kept feeling anxious because he seems to have a dark side to his personality, so it surprised me when nothing bad came of their car ride. If this show could have more happen and not just have everyone hanging out at the country club all the time, I think this show would be a little better.
