This is the episode where Gabi changes for good - from a vixen to a victim. Slowly, she will rebuild herself, but the truth finally comes out. I love this episode because the rape storyline finally comes to an end, and new stuff is about to begin. Priscilla Garita is amazing actress - I don't even think the casting directors knew how good she was until she came along. The delivery in court was flawless.
This is also the day when we say goodbye to Paula and Elaine. The characters were good, in my opinion, but the writers felt that as of this point there were no longer necessary. So goodbye - you were both great characters.
I loved how Virginia taunted Vanessa - I may love Vanessa as a character, but I also enjoy Virginia as a vixen as well. Cole and Caitlin were kind of boring, but the reunion between Elaine and Cole was great. It's weird how Elaine and Paula both left before Christmas. The scenes at Surf Central were great as well, in typical Christmas fashion.moreless
