A great sequel episode

9.0

I loved how they didn't just throw aside the fact that Will was shot in the last episode but actually continued it! A lot of great moments, with a great story and some fantastic lines. The fact that Will actually wanted to get married to Lisa was actually pretty funny yet pretty sad. It was a feel good type episode

Will proposes to Lisa

8.0

By Lostindharma, Nov 14, 2012

As with previous times when this show would do a serious episode, generally they don't try to top it and this was exception. However they did surprise you with Will proposing to Lisa. I think that Lisa had the right reaction in that she was happy but didn't say yes. I liked that Lisa tries to spare Will's feelings until he was in the hospital rehabbing. You see the affect this has on Will when he goes deep into the dumps. probably the lowest he has felt on the show. Hilary's advice was correct (did I say that?) and didn't lose it luster when Hilary forgot who she was engaged to. I think what Hilary said along with what happened to Will is why he proposed to Lisa. When Lisa realizes this, she says yes. It was sweet how Carlton, Ashley, and Carlton were right outside when he proposed again.

Other funny highlights include when Jazz was messing with the heart machine, Will getting hit again and again by Hilary and Carlton saying nothing can happen with him and Lisa. Carlton has had feelings for Lisa before but I really like this never became issue.

This episode would be rated higher but you have to wait until further reviews come along.moreless
