All About the Big Picture
So, of course, Lily turns to Will – the “one person who’s always been straightforward with her.” Then there was the kiss after he gives her the 411 on what happened with her mom while she was in jail. Really? A thank you kiss? Who does that?
Either way the night ends with Megan realizing she has to be a better sister and she apologizes for not being there in the past. Looking at and comparing the recent picture of Shelby Megan took on her cell phone, the two sisters really have a heart-felt moment at the beauty shop where Lily works. We love that we were left with the warm fuzzy feeling that things might actually get better between the two.
On the other hand, the one not handling the re-disappearance of Shelby is daddy Arthur, who goes as far as to put in a missing persons report. Megan and Lily have to repeatedly try to explain the situation to him. He even says he is going to sell his boat to pay back Will (which Will totally won’t accepts because he understands it wasn’t the family’s fault) and go on unemployment to pay his rent. Worse is that, he actually has the audacity to tell Megan and Lily that they are being unfair to their mother. What?!?
Now, it seems like all this craziness has worn on Arthur, perhaps even broke his will because we finally see that he may be thinking about jumping off the wagon. At least he had the common sense to put the liquor away in his cabinet and not crack it open all the way. But we still think its bad news that he has it in the house.
Complete opposite of the Smith family is Will’s family, who Megan finally gets a chance to meet. Granted, when she first meets his dad she totally mistakes him for the butler! Somewhere during the evening, Megan totally ditches his family dinner. We pretty much get the impression that it’s because his perfect family is just too painful of a reminder of just how messed up hers is.
But the episode ends when Will realizes that Megan, “the women he fell in love with,” (we’ll get to that in a moment), would never be able to not worry about and help out her family when in need. We were like, “the women he - what?” Granted, we love these two as a couple and we think Will is great for Megan, but love? Hasn’t it been like only a few weeks? Megan must have super powers to be able to change a playboy into a loverboy in that short amount of time.
The big development with the Baker sisters this week is that after a full schedule of socializing and partying for the sake of their endeavor to be famous, their faltering relationships with their boyfriends make them realize that perhaps now is not the time for fame. We can’t believe that Sage actually decides to give up her career to spend the last few years of her teens living like, well, a teenager. She listens to Megan’s advice and fires their publicist just in time to race to the airport to pick up Luis, who has been at a convention all week. Meanwhile, Rose and her beau make up too, now that he’s not so upset that Rose will be out partying without him.
Marco, on the other hand, decides it is time to work on his career and approaches Laurel for money to start his own restaurant, which she totally does and Marco is totally ready for. However, when he goes to check the place out and gets a glimpse of his boyfriend, who it seems has already moved on, Marco decides he is not ready to move on after all. So Laurel gives him the check to keep for when he’s ready and he starts a plan with Megan to get back Keith.
What did you think? Who bugged you the most? Talk about it in the comments!

I really feel the show has been improving over the last couple of episodes. I love learning more about Megan and her crazy family rather than the show being about Megan chasing the twins around with a text book. I hope the show continues to improve.

First of all I disagree with the comment about it being too early for Will to proclaim love for Megan. I think it was sweet and very touching and she said it too. So what if it's only been a few weeks? It's been known to happen in shorter periods as well as they've had eyes for each other and been getting to know eachother long before they even hooked up. SO THERE. Leave them alone.
I agree with Stevie to some extent about Megan hardly being with the girls anymore and we don't see her tutoring them. Maybe a few scenes with her actually sitting through a session with them both (and not Rose alone) may help a bit.
I also agree with tie that Lily was the most annoying. She's way too self absorbed. ALthough my heart went out to her when she looked heartbroken in the shop when Megan spoke to her about their mom. She just needs a better way to express herself. AND KEEP YOUR HANDS OF WILL SISTA. Hats off to Will for telling Megan right away and ebing very concerned that she would be upset. I'm also impressed with Megan that she didn't flip out and take it out with Will about it. She seemed to dismiss it pretty easily. I was a bit nervous that it would be yet another reason for her to question the relationship.
Good episode. Quite dramatic. And yes, we need to see Megan actually do some work. LOL.

i think the main point of the whole show has disappeared. why is megan never tutoring the girls anymore? and there has hardly even been any interaction between them in the last couple episodes....
