    During the series Micheal has had much luck with women, so when they began the episoide micheal happy and in love i was actually happy. So you can imagine my disappointed when i found out she was older women even older then Gina, it wasn't rocket science, u just knew it wouldn't work-out but i liked how linked into alex story-line about her being depressed which causes her to laugh when he reveal 45 year-old women dumped him. Then line ' i won't be lonely i have you Micheal'.

    Joey, never help ur girlfriend to get another job because she might have to move, still loved the fact they decided to put clifhanger in pre-nulitimate episoide of the season. next week episoide will be the final episoide of the season. so do u think she will move in joey?, we will just have to wait and see.moreless

I'm not gonna die alone, I have you! Edit
    • Michael: She's 45, Mom! God. Joey: She's old! That's what's wrong with her. Boy, I didn't see that one coming. You know, I slept with a woman twice my age once. She was one of my teachers. I got an "A" in that class. That's how they caught her. Edit
