I still think this is a special episode. There is just so much drama in this and a bit humor. Like when Jack was caught buying condom by her Mom. Then there is Tom Cavanaugh who plays Jimmy, brother of Grace. I still think that Jimmy should have stayed with McCallister. I was even happy when Grace agreed to stay Jimmy for good then it completely breaks my heart when I found that she wants him out of the house. Tom Cavanaugh was really memorable in his role here.
My fave scene here was when Bobby told Jimmy that he is the best Uncle or Father something like that. The way he said it was really honest.
In the ending, Bobby found out about Jimmy and he was mad at his mother for talking Jimmy out of the house. Sometimes when you love a person it's hard to let go.
