4.14: "Monster Trial"Wow 50 episodes?! Congrats on the milestone. Thanks, Jay! I think this episode was really important because it really closes a large chapter in these characters' lives. Angela and Jordan were very much a prominent part at the beginning of the show, so I wanted to put their story to rest. So, despite going into a little skeptical, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it. I also thought it was important for Alisha to take what she's going through and be able to apply that to Angela's situation, which she's been going through much longer. They've put everything behind her and have finally moved forward. Yep, she made up with Kelsey haha. This was a realization episode for her. hahaha, that was just supposed to be a funny, meta little moment between the two. Sorry it didn't come across clearly enough! Thanks for the review, Jay!

4.15: "K-I-S-S-I-N-G"WTF?! Haha. That opening was so strange. David had to have been stoned, right? Either way it was pretty funny and... weird. hahaha! It was just in David's weird old imagination. Who knows what he thinks of on a daily basis. I really loved writing that scene. It was such a big moment for David and for his relationship with Mia. I'm so happy it's gotten the reception that it is, because I know it's always been a lingering question of why David likes comic books so much and why he relates to these characters the way he does. I'm glad it was one of your favorites The Tabbi/Yana/Michael storyline is probably one of the wildest to date haha. I thought it was important for Michael, though, because it's a way to get him out there even if it's not with the most professional folk. Alisha really took her advice momentum from the last episode and kept running with it with Paula. She really needed to open up to someone, and Alisha just seemed like the perfect person to me, haha! This scene was really important for me to right, because sex is such a huge thing in young adult's lives and it's so pressured on everyone. Rose accepting Alex for who he was despite being a virgin (which is a ridiculous thing to be weirded out by someone for lol) was a really big Rolex moment

4.16: "Inmate #230529"
Bye, Judy! *Waves* I'm kinda sad we didn't get to see her flirt with Michael one last time. But I'm sure she'll be back at some point to make Michael squeal. Haha. I really wanted to Judy to go out on a bang, because I didn't want her just lingering around in the background until she was needed again. Just didn't feel realistic to me haha Yeah, Paula really needed this to help move forward. Jace has officially cracked, and that part of her life has finally been put to rest. That Halloween special is a little scary! haha *protects Paula forever* Haha, the Michael/Yana/Tabbi storyline goes on for a a couple of more episodes. I hope you enjoy the rest of it and find their scenes funny Alisha's going through such a hard and confusing time. She's so frustrated with herself, but she's trying to get there! haha I wanted to start the Rose/Robbie drama off really small, because I don't think anything huge or over the top was warranted just yet. This is a very grey conflict, I think, because both parties said some things they take back. So you'll just have to see how this unfolds haha Thanks, Jay! Hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes!

4.17: "Awko Taco"
Why'd you have to go do it again, just as Alisha and Kelsey were going to kiss, Alisha runs away! Come on! This thing with those two have gone on long enough and even though I think Alisha likes her, I'm not sure if she would seek a romantic relationship with her. Either that or she needs to hash things out with David before she's ready to move on, which looks like it may be sooner rather than later with that ending, Awko taco... Alisha is soooo confused haha. She has no idea what to do, and she keeps running away from her problems rather than facing them head on. That's something she's going to have to deal with in the final few episodes of the sequence. She'll have a talk with David in the next episode. You'll find out in the next episode Enjoooooy!

4.18: "Fallout"
I read this one on Friday but was too tired afterwards to post anything so I'll jot down my thoughts now.
So Alisha and David finally talk things through and it went a lot smoother than I expected it to. David really stepped up in a way that I wasn't expecting. I think this is due to his new relationship with Mia, its really making him a more mature and not so bitter version of himself. I really like that Mia and David both make each other better, even if Mia's better self still isn't the best. And just when Mia takes one step forward she take like 10 back with her latest stunt. I mean, that was a bit over the top the way she stormed out wasn't it? I really like Mia but when she does stuff like this it really makes me dislike her, I guess its just because underneath it all she really is insecure. But David is all about her now she shouldn't of reacted the way she did. And that ending?! I'm shocked, I guess everything was going too perfect in recent episodes you wanted to shake things up a bit.
Please don't tell me this is the last we see of Tabbi and Yana, they are absolutely hilarious. I'm thinking another spin off here following the lives of two pot head film makers. Now, that's something I would tune into every week. Michael has never had the best of patience, he has to realise that these things don't just come handed to you and its gotta be worked at. I hope It does take him sometime to get to where he wants to be because its a really interesting storyline/concept.
Ii'll just finish this off by saying Alisha better figure it out an kiss Kelsey already, Robbie and Rose need another gig asap and Alex should just make his own movies and star in them. Haha.
Yeah, so I kind of just rambled a load of crap so I do appologise. Haha.

I'm shocked, I guess everything was going too perfect in recent episodes you wanted to shake things up a bit. I think David and Alisha have grown up a lot since they last talked, that I didn't want some confrontational blow up like in the premiere. It just didn't feel right to me. As for Mia, she's incredibly insecure and really makes horrible assumptions, and she made one when she saw David talking to Alisha right after she told him that she was jealous of her. Just horrible timing really. That's something Mia really has to work on, you know... after the whole crash and everything haha For right now, yes haha Tabbi and Yana are gone, but I wouldn't rule out that they're gone forever. If the story calls for it, they'll be back. And Michael's very hard on himself and since that he jumped into this craft so early he thinks he's just watching everything pass him by. Paula really helped him with that when she brought him back from a panic attack. Oh, if only it were all that simple haha Totally fine! Thanks so much for the review, Jay!

Halloween Special: "Night of the Living Besties"
First off can I say, I kind of want every possible holiday to feature a "[blank of the] besties" special featuring Paula and Michael. YES! YES! YES! That would be amazing! I can already picture the Christmas special, "12 days of Besties." I just love scenes that involve Paula and Michael, but having a whole episode on those two was just perfect. I mean, I thought you could of had a full episode of them when they found a spider in the apartment, so them spending Halloween together is exceptional. I loved them going up to the haunted house, Michael is so scared of everything. I love that Paula is the one that's more up for it. Haha. Overall fun episode, we need more of these.

4.20: "Tears, Smiles and Other Face Activities"
This was a perfect sequence finale, you gave us a bit of everything. Alex and Alisha have their own version of besties night, which was much needed. Its been a while since its just been the both of them spending quality time together and its always great to read. It takes you back to the beginning of Audition, when it was just the two of them with this dream and now one or nothing could stand in their way of what they wanted. So its special when you take us back to just these two. And I love how you can see how much they've grown since we first met them too. Rose and Robbie get their gig back! I love the scenes when they sing in the bar. I always play the track that their singing and it always sets a great mood and allows you to have these great cutaways with no dialogue. Its really interesting. I can't wait to explore more or their singing careers next sequence and Rose's song writing which we've seen a little bit of in previous episodes. Mia and David finally make back up. I love that Mia is completely open with David about her vulnerabilities, its so uncharacteristic for her but it shows how she's slowly changing being in the presence of David, someone she cares for. I also love that even when she's saying one of the nicest things she's ever said all she can string together is-- "You make me feel... stuff. Stuff that doesn't suck." Haha! What had me most interested during this episode was Michael and Paula. I mean... THAT ENDING! You had me at first because I really thought that was happening! I was dying! But no... it turns out that Paula's day dream are pretty darn vivid. But either I'm still happy because we're getting somewhere. We are slowly but surely moving into Maula territory here. From the way she looked at him to her daydream at the end, she's realising that they could be more than besties and that's perfect for me, because I've wanted.. no needed, this to happen since the première! Lol! I have to commend you on this sequence, Brady. It is by far the best so far, in particular arc two. These characters have all progressed so much this sequence and a lot has gone down. I'm just really excited to see where else you take this show. I am so excited to see what sequence 5 brings!

4.19: "Another Hollywood Heartbreak"
Poor Alisha, you really aren't making this easy for her Brady are you. Just as she finally admits to her self and Kelsey that she has feelings for her this happens. That sucks! Things can never just work out perfectly and the two can be happy together, can they. Even though I did want them to be together (and I'm still not ruling it out) its actually got me more curious as to what Alisha's next step is now that she's admitted to herself she likes girls as well. Haha, this is a very rough time for Alisha. Alisha will be dealing with the ramifications of this well into sequence five! Mia is a very guarded character who has gone through a lot of hurt and pain, and while her actions towards David are harsh and uncalled for, there is a reason behind them. But you've read the finale so you know all about how this resolves itself haha Alex is also going through a rough time. He's dealing with a lot of rejection and we're going to see how that's affecting him as we go into s5. Thanks for the review, Jay! Hearing your thoughts is always great

4.20: "Tears, Smiles and Other Face Activities"
This was a perfect sequence finale, you gave us a bit of everything. Thank you so much! I really try to focus on the relationship of Alex/Alisha as much as I can. They really ground the show, and they've been through a lot in these past few episodes, and even though they don't necessarily come out and say what's on their mind they're still there for one another. I'm hoping this relationship will be at the forefront again when the show comes back for s5. This was a huge step for Robbie, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I usually play the song they're singing as I write the entire episode, so it's great to hear that you do the same as you read along David does a lot of good for Mia, and she really accepted that she's going to try and change. I think that's huge for her. We'll be seeing her try and continue to change once the show returns, because she cares a lot about David and vice versa. Hahahaha! This was really to solidify that Paula has found a romantic attraction to Michael rather than setting up the idea of Maula. She'll be dealing with these feelings and whether or not she wants to act on them in the next sequence. Thanks so much, Jay! I'm so happy you thought this was the best sequence. That's what I strive for every sequence! haha It's been great to hear your thoughts, and I hope you enjoy the next one just as much, if not more, than this one!
