    A Great Ep. hide show

    This episode, Four Thanksgivings and a Funeral was great episode. The episode is very true to its name, because there is actually four thanksgivings, which are - Whilemina cooks a big feast for herself and Nico, and after a few mishaps she manages to bond with Nico. Amanda and Marc sneak into Whilemina's office to watch the parade and have some fun of their own, but unfortuntely find out more than they wanted to, after a secret phone call. Daniel has to attend his familys thanksgiving at their Country Club. The fourth thanksgiving is at Betty's house, with Betty, Ignacio, Justin, Hilda, Santos, Christina and Ignacio's new lawyer.

    Thanksgiving hide show

    This has better one of the better episodes of the series so far.
    It was nice to see Christina have Thanksgiving with the Suarez family and Santos spend some time with Justin. Claire was still in the process of drying out and Bradford is being tormented by a Fey lookalike.
    Enjoyed Marc and Amanda's dress up play time together and their snooping through Wilhemina's office. Even Wilhemina's motherly attempts for Thanksgiving were better than what I considered to be the weakest part of this episode which is the Daniel/Sofia arc which I really don't care for at all.
    Actually I'm a little tired of his constant neediness all the time.

    Its Thanksgiving and everyone plans what they will all be doing. hide show

    Great episode and the most interesting Thanksgiving ever! That lawyer girl is such a b***h and a lier! I new Betty was right and her sister should of believed her. Now they got ripped off! That blonde guy isn't that hot! He was ugly! Just because he was blonde? He was nice and all but I wouldn't go out with him. OMG! Betty almost got ran over! That was so funny and when Amanda and Marc call who they think is a lesbien! I wonder if she will find out who it was because that part was the best of the whole show!

    Loved it! What a way to begin the holidays hide show

    This episode was so enjoyable, every part of it was amazing and absolutely hilarious. The 'mystery' of the season had a really interesting twist, I'm defenitly interested to see what Fey is up to. I was really sad to see taht Lea was a liar and a con artist, but I hope things will work out for the Suarez family. My favourite part of the episode was with Marc and Amanda. It was so, so funny. I'm beginning to like Amanda alot, especially when she's with Marc. Um... what else. Well, that's about it. I would highly reccomend this episode to anyone. I'm marathoning the whole season, so I'll keep reviewing the epsides.
